Fractured Skulls 77: American Psycho (2000) & American Psycho 2 All American Girl (2002)

*BRAND NEW* episode alert! AP: It's the late 1980s. Twenty-seven year old Wall Streeter Patrick Bateman travels among a closed network of the proverbial beautiful people, that closed network in only they able to allow others like themselves in in a feeling of superiority. Patrick has a routinized morning regimen to maintain his appearance of attractiveness and fitness. He, like those in his network, are vain, narcissistic, egomaniacal and competitive, always having to one up everyone else in that presentation of oneself, but he, unlike the others, realizes that, for himself, all of these are masks to hide what is truly underneath, someone/something inhuman in nature. In other words, he is comprised of a shell resembling a human that contains only greed and disgust, greed in wanting what others may have, and disgust for those who do not meet his expectations and for himself in not being the first or the best. That disgust ends up manifesting itself in wanting to rid the world of those people, he not seeing them as people but only of those characteristics he wants to rid. AP2: Rachael Newman has developed an interest for murders after she encountered psychopath Patrick Bateman. To further study the subject, she enrolls at the university department for Behavioral and Social Sciences, under the expert leadership of former FBI agent Robert Starkman. Very certain about herself, Rachael has one single goal: to become Starkman's teaching assistant. It's a prestigious job as having that position will almost guarantee employment at the FBI. But becoming her professor's assistant is no easy task to accomplish, as the first trouble arises when secretary Gerty Fleck decides she is too young for it. And Gerty Fleck won't be the only obstacle Like us on FB: Fractured Skulls Podcast | Facebook #americanpsycho #americanpsychomovie #americanpsycho2000 #americanpsycho2 #americanpsycho2allamericangirl #christianbale #patrickbateman #milakunis #maryharron #breteastonellis #williamshatner #allamericangirl #podcast #fracturedskulls #jaredleto #reesewitherspoon #samanthamathis #joshlucas #justintheroux #willemdafoe #morganjfreeman
