Ep-48 American Psycho (2000 film)

Published: July 12, 2018, 2:02 p.m.

Christian Bale\u2019s portrayal of a\xa0deranged\xa0serial killer in high society helped make Mary Harron\u2019s American Psycho into a cult classic. The film takes a sprawling narrative from Bret Easton Ellis\u2019s 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\u2019 careers, the typography of the business card scene, Tom Cruise\u2019s humanity, Patrick Bateman as a Martian, the possibility that Bateman did actually kill Paul Allen, and the meaning of the ending.\xa0
