American Psycho cumple 25 años American Psycho, la novela, es uno de los grandes libros de finales del siglo XX. American Psycho, la película, también raya en la perfección. Ahí podríamos detenernos en la presentación de este podcast. Pero no. Hay que advertir que mucho de lo malo que, desde la opinología se dice de la película, es falso. A partir de la novela de Bret Easton Ellis, la directora Mary Harron y su guionista Guinevere Turner, armaron un retrato amargo y tremendamente divertido, lleno de sangre y violencia gráfica, del final del siglo XX. Pero también dejaron ahí, ocultos en lo evidente, una serie de avisos sobre aquello raro y amargo, idiota e insensato en que se convertiría el mundo en el siglo XXI. Hoy la película cumple 25 años y es momento de decirle a quienes no la han visto que se acerquen a ella. El cine de nuestros tiempos ya no corre riesgos como los que se impuso American Psycho y, pocas veces, cada vez menos, alcanza logros similares mientras dibuja al mundo que vivimos con desparpajo y tremenda inteligencia. Nuestro invitado es el guionista y director Antón Goenechea… Y no había nadie mejor que él para celebrar los 25 años de American Psycho. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Better Than Average, we build our own makeshift studio and hit record—no excuses, just real talk all caught on film. We dive into Topuria's big win at UFC 317 and what's next for the Lightweight Division. Jay walks us through his recent NAGA success, sharing match insights, takeaways, and a little behind-the-scenes from the mats.Then we flip the script with a full breakdown of American Psycho—what makes it iconic, the layers of satire, and whether Patrick Bateman is a misunderstood genius or just completely unhinged.New setup, same mindset: Always Better Than Average.

Wir drehen im Sommer nicht ab, sondern auf! Denn dieses Mal wartet auf euch ein richtiger Brecher: Kim und Denise erforschen die kapitalismuskritischen Dimensionen im Horrorgenre. Denn schon Marx wusste, dass Vampirismus und Kapitalismus  sich nicht fern sind! Um Vampire geht es heute allerdings zumindest im klassischen Sinne nicht. Kim bringt Bret Easton Ellis' Klassiker “American Psycho” (1991) mit. Im Roman um den Serienmörder-Yuppie Patrick Bateman steckt nämlich viel satirische, aber auch schmerzhafte Kritik an der gegenwärtigen Konsumgesellschaft. Das gibt Kim zu denken: was tun? Denise betritt die dunkleren Seiten des Internets mit dem Film “Cam” (2018). Die Netflix-Produktion, in der das Camgirl Alice Ackerman aka Lola_Lola plötzlich nicht mehr in ihren Account reinkommt und mit einer digitalen Doppelgängerin von sich selbst konfrontiert wird, wirft einige Fragen nach den Grenzen zwischen sexueller Ausbeutung und Freiwilligkeit auf. Denn was ist schon freiwillig, wenn Plattformen uns abhängig machen und systemische Ungerechtigkeiten Frauen dazu zwingen, ihre Körper zu verkaufen?Achtung!- Es gilt eine Inhaltswarnung für beide Werke. “American Psycho” enthält verstörende Darstellungen von sexualisierter Gewalt, Folter, Mord, Frauenfeindlichkeit und psychischer Instabilität. “Cam” behandelt Themen Sexarbeit, sexuelle Selbstbestimmtheit und deren Grenzüberschreitung. Der Film enthält zudem suizidale Darstellungen, welche auch (kurz) in der Folge besprochen werden.Shownotes: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mocgvaxjoeqfqz75amb4o/51-Remakes-Shownotes.docx?rlkey=2f4ipss6y71xldfawd8chdn73&st=aowdphmq&dl=0

WHAT A REINVENTION!! Wrong Turn Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Now that they've seen the first 6, Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson venture deeper into the Appalachian wilderness for their Wrong Turn 2021 Reaction, Breakdown, and Spoiler-Filled Review — the seventh installment in the long-running franchise, directed by Mike P. Nelson (The Domestics) and written by original series creator Alan B. McElroy (Halloween 4, Spawn). Ditching the inbred cannibals of earlier entries, this reinvention introduces a new threat: a secretive, self-sufficient cult called The Foundation. Charlotte Vega (The Lodgers, Warrior Nun) stars as Jen Shaw, a young woman who sets off on a hiking trip through the Appalachian Trail with her boyfriend Darius (Adain Bradley – The 100, All American) and their close-knit group of friends. What starts as an adventurous detour quickly spirals into a brutal fight for survival when the group encounters a deadly community living off the grid and abiding by ancient, merciless laws. Bill Sage (We Are What We Are, American Psycho) gives a chilling performance as John Venable, the cold-blooded leader of The Foundation. Also featured are Matthew Modine (Stranger Things, Full Metal Jacket) as Jen's father Scott Shaw, who launches a desperate search for his daughter, and Daisy Head (Shadow and Bone, Underworld: Blood Wars) as Edith, a high-ranking cult member. With harrowing traps, underground trials, and twisted moral dilemmas, the film reimagines the Wrong Turn formula with fresh brutality and thought-provoking questions about civilization versus survivalism. Iconic and highly searched scenes include the spiked log ambush, the courtroom execution sequence, and the shocking ending that takes place during the end credits. Join Roxy & Tara as they dig into the blood-soaked reinvention, dissect the film's major deviations from franchise tradition, and debate its place among modern horror reboots.

Rosen has been hailed by The New York Times as “insanely ambitious,” “a sort of bridge between genres and generations, embracing Broadway standards, pop songs and the music of Tetris.” Broadway World hailed his orchestrations for “Some Like it Hot” — co-written with Bryan Carter — as “explosive… another first-rate team.” Opined JazzTimes of the 8-Bit Big Band: “[These are] innovative spins on a hidden musical canon that's arguably just booting up.” In 2021, Grammy.com proclaimed him to be one of “6 Big Band Composers Pushing The Format Forward.” Rosen was born in 1990 in Los Angeles, to a bassoonist and music teacher mother and pianist, banjoist, and silent movie theater organist father. When Rosen was three, his father ascertained that he had perfect pitch, when he successfully distinguished piano keys by color without seeing them. “That's a black key, that's a white key,” Rosen remembers intuiting. Rosen played flute in an elementary school orchestra, but that didn't really take. “I played cello for a year. That didn't really take,” Rosen says. But as his single digits flowed into his doubles, he accordingly took guitar lessons, and proceeded to perform in bands. “That was my first exposure to what it means to collaborate with your musical peers,” Rosen says, “as opposed to receiving rote classical music from a teacher.” Large ensemble jazz grew to captivate him most; his father frequently took him to see big bands and jazz orchestras, and his mother brought him to her orchestra rehearsals and chamber music performances. Rosen became fascinated by the sheer numbers of the musicians, the volume, and the force of the moving air. Saxophones, flutes, trumpets, banjos, guitars, and mandolins were around the house. “That influenced my love of arranging and discovering new instruments,” Rosen says — and he learned one after the other. Despite his parents' love of musicals, Rosen initially gravitated far more to classic rock and jazz. Yet in his sophomore year of high school, he nabbed a role in the coming-of-age Broadway musical “13” — which not only featured an entire cast of teenagers, but an all-teen orchestra. This led him to the comedic historical rock musical “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” — conversely, a full-on professional production with adults. Both shows transferred to Broadway one year apart, before Rosen was old enough to drink. Rosen studied at Berklee College of Music for a few semesters; around 2010, he decided to focus on Broadway for good. At first, he was a multi-instrumentalist in a variety of pits, and it became clear he was capable of much more. “I started being like, ‘I'll do anything. I can transcribe your piano parts. I'll write sheet music. I'll write horn parts for you,'” Rosen recalls. “Just to get my name out there as somebody who could be part of music teams.” In 2012, he started his first New York large ensemble, dubbed Charlie Rosen's Broadway Big Band. He went on to work on a plethora of Broadway shows, as an orchestrator, music director, music supervisor, and more — from “Moulin Rouge” to “Be Home Chill” to “Some Like it Hot.” Already, Rosen was reimagining what a big band could do. “I would take songs from Broadway shows, like I do with the 8-Bit Big Band, and totally flip them on their head — rearrange them,” he says, “and I would ask singers from the Broadway community to front it.” He began a long-running residency at Midtown Manhattan's 54 Below, and “invited as many music directors, supervisors and composers — anybody I could possibly think of — to come to this thing.” The 54 Below residency demonstrated Rosen's swelling chops for old-school, Broadway-style arranging. Fast forward through years of shows and connections, and in 2018, Rosen launched the 8-Bit Big Band, and the lifelong gamer picked up the torch of the “Great Video Game Songbook.” To date, they have released four albums: 2018's “Press Start!,” 2019's “Choose Your Character,” 2021's “Backwards Compatible,” and 2023's “Game Changer.” In 2021, Rosen won a Grammy for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Capella. He won one Tony in 2020, for his work on “Moulin Rouge!, and another in 2023, for “Some Like It Hot.” Another Grammy followed in 2023, for his contributions to the latter production's cast recording. He was also nominated for both a Tony and Grammy award for his work on the groundbreaking 2022 Broadway show “A Strange Loop.”Other productions Rosen has worked on as a musician, composer, music supervisor, and/or orchestrator include “One Man, Two Guvnors”; “Cyrano de Bergerac”; “Honeymoon in Vegas”; “American Psycho”; “Prince of Broadway”; “Be More Chill”; “Moulin Rouge! The Musical”; and “A Strange Loop”. He was the musical director for the 2016 TV series “Maya & Marty,” and 2020's “Arthur Miller Foundation Honors,” and arranged, orchestrated, conducted, and/or composed for 2017's “The President Snow,” the 2021 documentary “Listening to Kenny G,” and that year's Billy Crystal comedy-drama “Here Today,” as well as the music producer for the 2023 film “Wonka.” What binds it all together is Rosen's unshakeable faith in the unrealized potential of a piece of music, especially as it relates to its function for dramatic storytelling. How the music functions to deliver a story, or deliver a feeling — “whether someones up there singing or not,” Rosen says. “Or whether it's creating an arrangement to support a singer singing in a specific way, or an instrumentalist to solo in a way they do best. “Whether it's your movie, song, orchestra, TV show, or Broadway show,” Rosen concludes, “it's all essentially the same instinct, but through instruments.” Marc Shaiman, a Tony-winning theater and Oscar-nominated film composer, described Mr. Rosen as a big talent, but without the eccentricities that sometimes come along for the ride. ‘It's the kind of talent where I almost want to hate him,' Mr. Shaiman said. ‘But I can't.' You don't get to be Charlie without being insanely ambitious, but I think it's really an ambition to have as much music in his life and in his head and in his mouth as he possibly can. He just loves making music.”

Leah Litman, author of Lawless: The Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, argues that originalism masks a partisan project, while critics counter that Roe's reversal doesn't require conspiracy. Her pop culture–infused book uses The Barbie Movie, American Psycho, and Arrested Development to advance critiques of the conservative court. Plus, the NYC mayoral debate crammed nine candidates into two chaotic hours, yielding more zingers than substance. And in the Spiel, rather than accept the usual narrative about the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, a look at actual turnout data post-Shelby County v. Holder—which suggests far less than a real-world calamity.

Six Clues That Suggest Kohberger Wanted to Be Caught Did Bryan Kohberger leave us a digital roadmap to his own alleged crimes? In this chilling deep dive, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott peel back the disturbing psychological layers of University of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger. This episode isn't just about what allegedly happened — it's about why. And how the digital age may have exposed a killer not just through DNA, but through ego. We begin with Kohberger's eerie 2020 criminology essay — an academic exercise that, in hindsight, reads more like a psychological confession. Was it just a student analyzing crime, or a man subconsciously (or deliberately) fantasizing about committing one? Then we examine the now-infamous thumbs-up mirror selfie — taken hours after the murders, while the victims' bodies were still undiscovered. Was this a digital trophy? A nod to characters like Patrick Bateman or Norman Bates? And how does this tie into his alleged online behavior as “Papa Roger,” who eerily predicted details of the crime scene before they were public? We also explore the alleged stalking behavior, the suspected return to the crime scene, and the motive behind taunting the public with calculated anonymity. Is this a case of criminal narcissism, performative psychopathy, or simply the unraveling of a deeply disturbed mind?  Was the knife sheath DNA his only mistake — or part of a performance?  How do movies like American Psycho influence real-world killers?  Could Kohberger's digital footprint be a confession masked as curiosity? This is the story of a man who may have studied murder like a science — and left behind evidence not just in blood, but in pixels. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PapaRoger #Criminology #Psychopathy #AmericanPsycho #DigitalEvidence #ForensicPsychology #UniversityOfIdaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Still Sharp, Still Savage, Still Satirical! Join us as we dissect Mary Harron's controversial and iconic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's “American Psycho.” From Christian Bale's career-defining performance as Patrick Bateman to the film's razor-sharp commentary on yuppie culture and consumerism, we explore why this psychological horror/black comedy hybrid continues to resonate (and shock) audiences 25 years later. We'll delve into the brilliant work of Harron and screenwriter Guinevere Turner, the stellar supporting cast including Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Reese Witherspoon, and more, and unpack the film's enduring legacy as a dark masterpiece. Is it a biting satire? A disturbing portrait of madness? Or both? Listen in to find out!Where To Watch American Psycho

Phil Collins fans only beyond this point.What happens when the pressure to be perfect becomes a performance no one's watching? In a world obsessed with status, control, and appearances, you can still be a clone that remains a chilling reflection of toxic ambition and hollow masculinity. This week, the Babes dissect the razor-sharp satire behind the cult classic American Psycho (2000).

Send us a textRISKYSometimes you gotta say, “What the Fuck” to research, make your move. This week Season 14's penultimate 1x1 is co-host Ryan's pick: RISKY BUSINESS (1983). His reason: TGTPTU normally pairs filmographies of a single director or actor, and the writer-director on this film was so triggered by the experience of having his written, shot, and edited original ending replaced in the final cut that he never directed another film again… or at least not until his second film in 1990 (WTF, Ryan?).  This film that would go on to become part of 1980s iconography by first-time director Paul Brickman, who had previously written the Michael Pressman-directed The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977) and the Jonathan Demme-directed Handle with Care (1977) and would later be one of three credited writers on Clint Eastwood's True Crime (alternately known as Speed Zoo) (1999), Risky Business as dark teen comedy and potential Reagon-era satire stars a number of early roles by actors who'd become comedy stars of the 1980s, including as the protagonist Joel's fellow yuppie North Shore friends and entrepreneuring high school seniors in their first film appearances Curtis Armstrong (also known as Booger in the 1980s) and Bronson Pinchot (aka Balki in the 80s). It costars Rebecca De Mornay (later in the 90s known for her roles as a terrible nanny and as Milady de Winter) as the business-savvy prostitute, and has an early movie appearance by Joey Pants (known in the late-90s for taking the blue pill, Ralphie Cifaretto in the 00s, and a Bad Boy 4 life) as Guido the pimp.   Oh, and it's also the first time that actor born Thomas Mapother IV, better known later in life by his stage name Tom Cruise, stars in the leading role in a film (but not the first time he danced in his underwear or kissed a female person, if DVD commentary tracks are to be believed).  Behind the camera, you have two cinematographers: Eastwood's 70s and early-80s collaborator Bruce Surtees as well as regular Hollywood comedy lenser Reynaldo Villalobos. Pod-favorite Tangerine Dream scores. And the film scores big with first watches by host Tom and guest host Jack and with the Gen X'ers Ken and Ryan.   It's a wild ride, so mind your parking brake. In this episode Ryan explains the economic milieu behind the 80's yuppie culture to the two young hosts while drawing comparisons to American Psycho (2000); the two Zoomers discover how to shorten future episodes; and Broom Hilda's creator, whose life strangely overlaps with Ken's past and present, drops by studio.  Our podcast is The Good, The Pod, and The Ugly. We deal in human fulfillment. We grossed over eight thousand listeners in one night.

When fitness influencer Ashton Hall's absurd morning routine went viral a few weeks ago, I was… moved. The hours-long skincare, gym, and journaling ritual felt like an American Psycho-inspired metrosexual fever dream — one peppered with shocking misogyny and profound loneliness. Hall's viral moment felt like a tipping in point in “alpha male” influencer culture, or the content ecosystem of men teaching boys what it means to be men. The further down the rabbit hole I went, the weirder it got — and between scammy financial incentives and an authoritarian take on gender, I began to understand why so many of these influencers are Trump supporters, and how they're teaching their viewers to follow suit. Most disturbing is the message that underpins almost all alpha male content: a life well-lived is one lived alone. COME SEE A BIT FRUITY LIVE! Tickets are on sale here.

Breaking Down The Disturbing 'References' Bryan Kohberger Makes In Shower Photo With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott What kind of person allegedly studies the art of the perfect crime—and then seems to leave behind a digital trail of breadcrumbs like it's part of the plan? In this unnervingly fascinating dive into the alleged behavior of Bryan Kohberger, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott unpack the chilling possibility that the University of Idaho murder suspect may have been playing out a twisted homage to his favorite horror films. From eerie similarities to American Psycho and Psycho to bizarre shower selfies and internet personas like “Papa Rogers,” the details keep getting darker and more surreal. Was the tight-buttoned shirt and thumbs-up in the bathroom a taunt to the world? A sick inside joke? Or an alleged nod to cinematic killers he may have admired? And how often do alleged killers find inspiration in movies and mass murderers of the past?

A criminology student who allegedly bought a tactical mask and knife long before the crime. A guy who may or may not have ghosted digitally at just the right time. Someone whose online posts eerily aligned with confidential case details—before the arrest. Sound like a coincidence, or just someone who watched American Psycho one too many times? As Dreeke points out, there's a big difference between fantasizing about crime and acting on it—but when that fantasy escalates into alleged planning and execution, the line gets dangerously blurry. We're talking behavioral patterns, emotional voids, creepy social media parallels, and a fascination with crime that might've gone way too far. Also: who poses in a shower, buttoned to the top, with "Psycho" energy radiating from every pixel? Did Bryan Kohberger allegedly leave a breadcrumb trail of his own making—or was he hiding in plain sight, daring the world to figure him out? What was the real switch that flipped—fantasy, feeling, or full-blown psychopathy? #BryanKohberger #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminologyGoneWrong #AmericanPsychoVibes #RobinDreekeAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Was Bryan Kohberger Taunting Us With American Psycho Suit & Shower Pic? Just hours after the brutal murder of four University of Idaho students, suspect Bryan Kohberger allegedly took a mirror selfie — standing in front of a shower, wearing a neatly buttoned white shirt, flashing a thumbs-up. But this wasn't just any selfie. It was timestamped 10:31 AM on November 13th, 2022 — just hours after the killings, while the victims still lay undiscovered. In this episode, we unpack the chilling parallels between this real-life case and pop culture killers like American Psycho's Patrick Bateman and Psycho's Norman Bates. Why was Kohberger's pose, setting, and expression so eerily reminiscent of these fictional murderers? Was it a subconscious nod, or something far more deliberate — a taunt? We'll explore the growing theory that Kohberger inserted himself into online discussions under aliases like “Papa Rodger” and “InsideLooking” — commenting in Facebook and Reddit threads about the crime before key details were ever made public. These accounts speculated about the weapon, crime scene layout, and even the killer's emotions in disturbingly accurate ways. Were these lucky guesses… or was the killer hiding in plain sight, narrating his own crime? We also break down his alleged return to the crime scene the next morning, his suspicious behavior afterward (like wearing surgical gloves and cleaning out his car), and why experts say this may not just be a case of murder — but of calculated performance. DNA on the knife sheath Alleged stalking via phone pings Possible return to the scene post-murder Obsession with control and superiority Disturbing similarities to fictional killers Social media taunting under fake names? Did Kohberger take a digital “trophy”? This is the case that's captivated the country — a horrifying crime, a suspect with a background in criminology, and a digital trail that might show not just guilt, but ego.
