Think Joe knew Blonde would flip out/harboured some psychosis


...It's the part when Eddie wants him for the job, but Joe is reticent. Always wondered if Joe knew that Blonde was a bit of a loose cannon-?

No. At the end it is Orange, not Blonde that Joe admits to not being 100% about. Joe's reluctance to tell Blonde about the heist was more likely because he had just got out of jail and was entitled to a rest rather than to be involved almost immediately in a heist.
It is likely Eddie would have been more likely to know Blonde was unstable, but Eddie himself is prone to sudden violence. When the others mention Blonde was a psycho, Eddie kills Marvin, remarking, "Worse or better?"

"Chicken soup - with a *beep* straw."

I wouldn't think so. Joe wanted easy in and out with as little violence as possible.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.
