Episode 239 - American Psycho - 25th Anniversary
Description
Still Sharp, Still Savage, Still Satirical! Join us as we dissect Mary Harron's controversial and iconic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's “American Psycho.” From Christian Bale's career-defining performance as Patrick Bateman to the film's razor-sharp commentary on yuppie culture and consumerism, we explore why this psychological horror/black comedy hybrid continues to resonate (and shock) audiences 25 years later. We'll delve into the brilliant work of Harron and screenwriter Guinevere Turner, the stellar supporting cast including Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Reese Witherspoon, and more, and unpack the film's enduring legacy as a dark masterpiece. Is it a biting satire? A disturbing portrait of madness? Or both? Listen in to find out!
