071 - American Psycho
from The Semi-Professionals · host TSP
There is an idea of a Podcast; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real us: only an entity, something illusory. And though we can hide our cold gaze, and you can shake our hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... We simply are not there. This week we tackle Mary Harron's interpretation of Bret Easton Ellis 1981 novel "American Psycho" starring Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Chloë Sevigny, Justin Theroux and Reese Witherspoon. Logline: Patrick Bateman, a wealthy investment banker, hides his psychopathic ego from his friends. Later, his illogical fantasies escalate and he submits to an uncontrollable bloodlust.
