American Psycho (Satire September)

Satire September takes a dark turn this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we venture into the disturbing and deeply unsettling world of "American Psycho." This one's a bit of a mind-bender, and it gets even more complex when you bring in the source material. While our resident bookworm Mackenzie hasn't read the novel, Lemar has, and he's ready to share some truly disturbing comparisons. Grab a strong drink (or make our mocktail!) and get ready for a discussion that will definitely make you question a few things.This episode, we're dissecting the meaning of the satire, from the obsession with business cards and the superficiality of 80s yuppie culture to the gruesome violence. We'll be questioning whether Patrick Bateman's murders are real or imagined, and whether the film's commentary on consumerism and toxic masculinity is still relevant today. We don't always agree on what the film is saying, or how effective its satire truly is, but that makes for a fascinating and often chilling conversation.If you've seen the film and want to hear a deeper discussion on its meaning, are curious about how it compares to the famously graphic book, or just want to hear us grapple with a film that's as disturbing as it is brilliant, then you're in for a treat. This episode is a great example of how a satire can be truly unsettling, and we're not pulling any punches in our analysis.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.
