MMO has and will continue to be a year round film appreciation podcast, and we love to love all kinds of movies, especially those we wish could be Oscar films like this long time favorite, American Psycho. Since it’s Women In Horror Month, and since we had such a great time with our first collaboration with the AllTheHorror brand, we’re thrilled to join such an awesome group of podcasts, blogs, and horror genre lovers once again with this new celebration. Throughout the history of our show, we’ve covered movie news whether we react to breaking stories, do a monthly Hollywood Hot Takes episode, or as we’ve done lately, kept you up to date on a more regular basis with our DYC / Story of the Week segments on MMO Weekly. We’ve been shocked and saddened by the lack of awarded female filmmakers, in particular with last year’s Golden Globes and certainly, with this entire award seasons’ “all male nominees.” Then as Jason Blum exacerbated the problem by speaking out of his ass a few months back about women not wanting to direct horror films, Mary Harron’s American Psycho stood out as the most obvious and excellent of rebuttals. So WiHMx seemed like the perfect time to tackle this retrospective. On MMO, we love our movie review format whether it be an OSP (Oscar Sprint Profile), Movie Event, or retrospective. In any case, the structure of each episode offers two reviews for the price of one. We do an entire non-spoiler presentation including segments on the Cast & Crew bios & filmographies, the behind the scenes production stories, all of the numbers / awards / premiere dates, etc. in our Specs, and then we discuss the film’s production values, performances, & script without any plot details. You then get some spoiler warning dance music, and we break down the plot in all of its glorious, or in this case, in all of its gory detail in our spoiler section. Here, we discuss all our best & worst scenes, how they told the story in a technical sense, and then culminate the section with some final grades. As always, let us know what you think. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.
