Less Than Zero

from Movie Virgins · host Leah Bross and Lindsey Schaefer

Less Than Zero, based Bret Easton Ellis' first novel, is a perfect encapsulation of 80s disaffected youth and the LA party scene. Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of a drug addict is impressive, but it can't save the film from Andrew McCarthy's milquetoast leading man and the objectively terrible ending. For the record, Tawny Kitaen is not in this movie, but Jami Gertz is. And James Spader does his 80s villain thing. Tangents include Tom Cruise's MI7 COVID rant, incestuous friend groups, PEN15, Grand Army, and appropriate sleepwear.
