b'"No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This podcast has meant nothing."\\n\\nIt\'s mid-October and we\'re well in the midst of "spooky season", so to celebrate these days leading up to Halloween, we\'ve decided to cover the cult classic, satirical psychological thriller film American Psycho! Directed by Mary Harron and starring Christian Bale, the film follows Patrick Bateman, a wealthy investment banking executive whose nocturnal psychopathic tendencies go undetected by those around him. In this podcast, we discuss the film\'s themes of capitalism, identity and desensitization, Christian Bale\'s haunting performance, and, among many other things, its endlessly quotable dialogue. Do you have to return some videotapes? Well, do that first, then, make sure you tune into the 54th episode of the UW Film Club Podcast!\\n\\nOn this episode: Jim Saunders, Alyssa Alvarez, Leila Okorie, and Tansy Huang\\n\\nYou can find us on Facebook at /UWFilmClub, and on Twitter and Instagram @FilmClubUW.
