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
Today on Script Apart – one of cinema's great monster movies. The terrifying creature at this movie's core, though, didn't have trailing tentacles, bloodshot eyes or reptilian skin. Instead of sharp teeth, it wore a sharp suit – Valentino pinstripe, perfectly pressed. This monster owned a gleaming Rolex, lived in an elegant condo and smiled politely through slap-up dinners with his fellow Wall Street sleazes. At night, he stalked the streets of New York, maiming sex workers and murdering the homeless, to a soundtrack of Huey Lewis and the News. And twenty-five years on, he's arguably more fearsome than ever in his relevance to our own world. Yes, joining Al Horner for a metaphorical reservation at Dorsia this week is author, actress and screenwriter Guinevere Turner, who co-wrote American Psycho. Guinevere teamed up with someone who would become a long-time collaborator, director Mary Harron, to adapt Bret Easton Ellis' controversial novel about a deranged investment banker named Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale). In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Guinevere tells me about the parts of herself she perhaps threaded into her and Mary's version of the story, either consciously or subconsciously – as revealed in her 2023 memoir, When The World Didn't End, she grew up in a cult that promised followers they'd be whisked off in a spaceship to Venus, and there's cult-like framing of money and materialism in American Psycho that perhaps was no accident. We get into her and Mary's treatment of Patrick as an “alien who's crash-landed to Earth,” learning to fit in through the pop culture he engages in. You'll also hear about Bret Easton Ellis's version of the film that ended with Patrick Bateman singing a musical tribute to New York, and what Guinevere's take is on the upcoming remake, reported to be directed by Luca Guadagnino.

Helen's pick this week is the 2000 movie which really put Christian Bale on the map, is American Psycho! American Psycho was a journey marked by controversy, creative vision, and a touch of chaos. Initially, the project faced significant challenges, with multiple directors and actors attached to the adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's infamous novel. Mary Harron eventually took the helm, bringing a sharp satirical perspective to the material. Her insistence on Christian Bale as the lead, despite studio pressure to cast bigger names like Leonardo DiCaprio, proved pivotal in shaping the film's identity. Bale's unwavering commitment to the role, including his meticulous physical transformation and deep understanding of the character, set the tone for the entire production.us costume choices. Harron's direction, alongside co-writer Guinevere Turner, skillfully balanced the satirical elements of the story with its darker undertones. The production faced criticism and protests from the outset due to the book's graphic contenFilmed in Toronto to replicate 1980s New York City, the movie captured the era's sleek, cold aesthetic with a mix of opulent set design and meticulot, but Harron's adaptation reined in the gratuitousness, focusing instead on societal commentary. Despite its tumultuous path to the screen, the film ultimately became a cult classic, celebrated for its biting critique of materialism and its razor-sharp performances.

While obsessing over materialism and social status, Bateman's mask of normalcy slips as he indulges in increasingly violent and depraved acts.

Director Mary Herron and her co-screenwriter Guinevere Turner did what 'American Psycho' author Bret Easton Ellis thought was impossible: made a film of his controversial, considered-unfilmable 1991. novel. And the lens through which they espied Patrick Bateman proved exactly the right way to gain something meaningful out of what, frankly, is a pretty unreadable and repetitive novel. The astonishing lead performance from Christian Bale catapulted him to the stardom and rarified air he continues to occupy as an actor today. And the performance is a wonder to dissect, if you'll pardon the pun. Featuring a wonderful assortment of supporting actors like Willem Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny, Justin Theroux, Reese Witherspoon, Reg E. Cathey, Josh Lucas, Matt Ross, Jared Leto, Cara Seymour and Samantha Mathis, the film is one of the most essential films about NYC in the 80's.

Filmmaker Daviel Shy joins us to share about her upcoming project, The Lovers, which serves eroticism and queerness in equal parts. Daviel's creative mindset is akin to an arousal state. In creative flow, she takes in her experiences with heightened awareness and incorporates them into her work. Daviel also integrates the unique lived experiences of her collaborators into her work and allows space for the work to be changed by those both in front of and behind the camera. The Lovers web series is a semi-autobiographical work that integrates the ways Daviel and her collaborators sought connection through the pandemic and how the isolation, separation and strange interconnectedness of the pandemic changed them (and all of us). In revisiting the experience of the pandemic, audiences are able to process and integrate their lingering grief and trauma from living through similar experiences. The series premieres September 21st at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center.

For the video version of this discussion, see here: https://youtu.be/S2LMqtNjg6cThe Hasidic community has been the subject of great, lurid fascination. People love to hear the stories of its unusual customs and darker sides. I see this fascination as part of a larger fascination with subcultures and cults. For instance, Youtube is full of channels that tell ex-Hasidic, ex-Mormon, ex-Amish and ex-Cult stories and these videos draw hundreds of thousands of views. Guinevere Turner grew up in a cult. In the Lyman Family cult. What's unique about her is that she doesn't give the audience the lurid story they want. She also has written about how cults are talked about in the larger society. Her essay in the New Yorker, 'My Childhood in a Cult', influenced my own writing, 'Is the Hasidic Community A Cult?'In this episode, Guinevere joins me to discuss our experiences as women with life stories that draw so much fascination. We talk about why we think the world wants our stories, and why we might not want to give them up. We discuss the Lyman family cult and other groups that are perhaps communes, perhaps cults. A discussion that touches the tip of the iceberg!

In part one of her two-part interview, Guinevere Turner, renowned screenwriter (writer of films like American Psycho and Charlie Says), actress, and author of new memoir When The World Didn't End, talks about growing up in the Lyman Family cult, bouncing around between different compounds, and being raised by women in the group who were not her mother. She discusses the trippy teachings of leader Mel Lyman, what it was like joining the caravan of the group's "queen" as a child, and the punishment and ostracization she and the other children frequently experienced.

Guinevere Turner is a writer, director, and actor who has been working in film and TV since her 1994 debut film Go Fish, which she wrote, produced, and starred in. She teamed up with director Mary Harron to write the films American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page, and the 2019 film Charlie Says. She can be seen in film roles that include The Watermelon Woman, Chasing Amy, American Psycho, and The L Word. Guinevere has taught screenwriting at Sarah Lawrence College, Columbia University, the University of Georgia, UCLA, and NYU. Her recently released immersive, and spell-binding memoir "When The World Didn't End" tells the story of her childhood growing up with the infamous Lyman Family cult—and the complicated and unexpected pain of leaving the only home she'd ever known. In this very forthright conversation, Guinevere shares her reflections on her childhood as a member of the Lyman Family cult, explaining how her isolation since birth made it difficult for her to recognize the exploitation she experienced in the moment. Together Rachel and Guinevere go on to share their thoughts on the healing process and point out how perspectives change and become more complex over time. Before You Go: Rachel explains how manipulative leaders create a false perception of deficiency in their followers in order to keep them distracted from their empty messages of spiritual growth.

Happy Pride! This week, we review groundbreaking piece of modern indie filmmaking, The Watermelon Woman (1996) directed by Cheryl Dunye and starring Cheryl Dunye, Guinevere Turner, Valarie Walker, and Lisa Marie Bronson. The Watermelon Woman follows Cheryl, a video store clerk and filmmaker, on her search for the identity of a 1930s actress known only as The Watermelon Woman. This movie is considered the first feature film directed by a Black lesbian and was added to the Library of Congress by the National Film Registry in 2021 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." In this episode, we discuss the importance of film preservation and restoration in the streaming era, what it means to create an identity as a queer person, and wonder what life must be like when you can afford to create your art. Our recommendations: Billie and Emma (2017), Go Fish (1994), and The Living End (1992) For your reference: James Dean: the Bi Hollywood Icon We Lost Too Soon by Kaz Rowe https://youtu.be/I96mhnUBVks The Wild, Wild History of Gay Cowboy Movies (and more) by Kaz Rowe https://youtu.be/6MSNujZ_7GY Support your girls with a ko-fi! ko-fi.com/blackgirlfilmclub Check out the rest of our socials and join our new Discord server at linktr.ee/blackgirlfilmclub

Matt, Michael, Charlie, and Caitlin got reservations at Dorsia to do some fine dining and chat about American Psycho, often cited as "a movie about a misogynist, directed by a feminist." We talk about yuppie misogyny, consumerism, and nihilism, and we quote the movie in our best Patrick Bateman voices. We also dish out some high school stories, so be prepared to be transported back to 2006-2007. Tangents include: Lady MacBeth, business cards (obviously), juice, Crocs, Ed Gein, and Ed Kemper.
CW: unsupportive and abusive families, homophobia, repressed sexuality, cheating on a partner, gatekeeping and exclusion from the community Today we talked about the 1994 film Go Fish by Guinevere Turner and Rose Troche. We adored this low budget film about lesbian community and finding love with an unlikely partner - so many of the beats are still issues faced by lesbians today. Give it a watch, and join us for the discussion!

This week our ghouls discuss 2000's adaptation of the novel by Brett Easton Ellis, American Psycho. From wiki: "American Psycho is a 2000 slasher, horror film directed by Mary Harron, who co-wrote the screenplay with Guinevere Turner. Based on the 1991 novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis, it stars Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a New York City investment banker who leads a double life as a serial killer. Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Chloë Sevigny, Samantha Mathis, Cara Seymour, Justin Theroux, and Reese Witherspoon appear in supporting roles. The film blends horror and black comedy to satirize 1980s yuppie culture and consumerism, exemplified by Bateman."Glass Onion escape room, dog surgery, streaming services hanky code, Fleishman is in Trouble, Josh has never seen a Woody Allen film, The Menu, Banshees of Inisherin, Colin Farrell supremacy, Mary Harron, Promising Young Woman, Go Fish, Watermelon Woman, I Shot Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Little Nell, Larry Clark's Kids NEXT WEEK: Lair of the White Worm Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.com Drusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/ Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/ Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/ Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/ Joshua's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoshuaConkel Joshua's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/ Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkelal
Yeah baby! We're closing out the year with none other than Groundling alum and fellow wig lover, Mindy Sterling. You Might Know Her From: The Goldbergs, Desperate Housewives, Drop Dead Gorgeous, iCarly, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, ConMan, and the Austin Powers trilogy. We go deep with Mindy on her iconic lesbian role, Frau Farbissina, but also dig into the lesbian subplot lurking beneath Ron Howard's Grinch film. Plus: working with kids and dogs, her repartee with the late, great Leslie Jordan in the Alan Tudyk web series, ConMan, the surprising generosity of Teri Hatcher, and why Jim Carrey was more method than Mike Myers.

As an actor and writer, Guinevere Turner understands more than most, that some stories just can't be contrived. Because sometimes life is far stranger than fiction. As is the case with Guinevere's upbringing. Not your typical getting out story, it would take years for Guinevere to understand that, no, she didn't grow up on a hippie commune in the 1970s and 80s... she grew up in a cult. ______ Guinevere's Instagram: @guinevereturner / Twitter: @turnerguinevere Link to Spotify playlist for this episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4OqNnobOP5tj3rB1tBytpC?si=dc2760b11c6f4e57 Please support Was I In A Cult?
