Ep-48 American Psycho (2000 film)

Christian Bale’s portrayal of a deranged serial killer
in high society helped make Mary Harron’s American Psycho into a
cult classic. The film takes a sprawling narrative from Bret
Easton Ellis’s novel and turns it into a more focused, deliberate
story. Much like the book, the movie was condemned in its time
for its violence, misogyny, and overall brutality.


Topics include: the pros and cons of voiceover in film, the
effect certain roles can have on actors’ careers, the typography
of the business card scene, Tom Cruise’s humanity, Patrick
Bateman as a Martian, the possibility that Bateman did actually
kill Paul Allen, and the meaning of the ending.
