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. For more from Guinevere, whose other work includes The L Word, Go Fish, The Notorious Bettie Page and 2018's Charlie Says, pick up When The World Didn't End, which is a great read – and head to our Patreon page!

We welcome Hal (@shestructured on Letterboxd) and Craig (@gentlemanbaby on Letterboxd) from the Red Rose Film Club podcast to cover American Psycho (2000), the Wall Street horror/comedy starring Christian Bale as Patrick "Jason" Bateman. This movie's got a lot going on, folks. And we get to it all—we determine who has the best business card, we explain why you wouldn't want Christian Bale as your co-worker at Whataburger, we try to figure out what's going on with Justin Theroux's hair, and we marvel at Patrick Bateman's chainsaw math. Also, is American Psycho Jared Leto's villain origin story?   But more than anything, we're trying to identify what exactly Patrick Bateman represents. Is he the embodiment of toxic masculinity? A victim of America's addiction to competition and consumption above all else? A misunderstood baby boy? An iconic slasher villain? What if our answer was…. Yes?   Next week:  We are the nation's top fun-havers, so we're taking the week off for Spring Break.

With Christian Bale delivering a career-defining performance as the impeccably groomed and deeply unhinged Patrick Bateman, this film slices into the heart of 1980s consumer culture, toxic masculinity, and moral decay—all with a wink and a blood-spattered smile.We explore the film's biting satire, stylish direction, and the ongoing debate: is Bateman a cold-blooded killer or just a delusional product of Wall Street excess?

In the twelfth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and screenwriter August Gummere to discuss Mary Harron's adaptation of the famously unadaptable novel by Bret Easton Ellis about the pathetic, isolated, and insecure perfect consumerist serial killer Patrick Bateman and his fulfillment of the corporation as a human promise of Reagan-era Wall Street economics known as American Psycho (2000). 

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. His descent into madness blurs the lines between reality and delusion, leaving viewers to question whether his horrific crimes are real or merely figments of his deranged imagination. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠

Wall Street Chainsaw Massacre - Mary Harron's American Psycho On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Mr. Chavez & I take a look at director Mary Harron's 2000 adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho. A controversial and polarizing film that has gained cultural and critical praise in the nearly quarter century since the film's release (and the 1991 publication of the novel), we are thrilled to discuss the pros (Christian Bales's performance as Patrick Bateman) and cons (a limited scope in portraying and commenting on the society it was showcasing and influencing) of this cult classic. As always, our discussion takes us on a journey into American Culture and a greater understanding in how the culture is both portrayed and influenced by images traveling at 24 frames per second. Take a listen . . . it's a pretty intersting conversation. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.

Tom Muller comes back to the show to discuss Mary Harron's American Psycho, released in 2000 and based on the 1991 book by Bret Easton Ellis. Christian Bale stars as Patrick Bateman, a New York City investment banker who's an unreliable narrator with a psychopathic alter-ego, and lives out violent fantasies that spill from his personal life onto his work life.-Tom's an award-winning designer and creative director at helloMuller, and has made an impact on the cultural landscape with narrative-driven design and brand storytelling, creating compelling identities and experiences. I was first introduced to Tom's work in 2018 with The Weatherman, a dark, apocalyptic comic book series from writer Jody LeHeup and artist Nathan Fox, published by Image Comics. The co-creators brought in veteran designer Tom Muller for title type, cover, and layout. Tom's work on The Weatherman is bold and colorful, grabbing the attention of any passersby. You can't avoid the book, and the whole reading experience is mind-blowing.-Tom's radical and visionary re-design for Marvel's X-Men identity, a new visual language that included wordmarks and typography, helped launch 2019's groundbreaking HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X.

Based on the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis, it stars Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a New York City investment banker who apparently 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.

Our season of political thrillers continues with guest Kayla Bates (host of ScreenVomit) joining to discuss Mary Harron's AMERICAN PSYCHO starring Christian Bale, Chloë Sevigny, Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Samanta Mathis and Reese Witherspoon. Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, this turn-of-the-millenium satirical thriller delves into the psyche of Patrick Bateman, a status-obsessed investment banker leading a double life as a sadistic serial killer in 1980s Manhattan. Anchored by an audacious performance from Bale, AMERICAN PSYCHO had much to say about Trump-style materialism and dehumanization long before Trump entered the political arena. As both a slyly feminist work and an oft-misinterpreted staple of filmbro canon, it's only grown in esteem as a darkly fascinating film to watch and discuss. Join us as we go nuts for AMERICAN PSYCHO, taking diversions into Blink Twice, The Dark Knight, Serial Mom, Chris Hansen, Gloria Steinem, Caligula, and much, much more! AMERICAN PSYCHO is currently available to stream with subscription to Netflix.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we speak to Nancy Savoca, the great filmmaker whose sophomore feature Dogfight is now available via Criterion. The digitally-restored, director-approved Blu-Ray includes new commentary from Savoca and producer Richard Guay, a new interview with Savoca and actor Lili Taylor conducted by filmmaker Mary Harron, and a great essay by film critic Christina Newland, among other features. We speak with Savoca about Missing Movies, her mentors John Sayles and Maggie Renzi, her first film True Love, directing singular performers like River Phoenix and Lili Taylor, and the HBO creativity boom of the mid-to-late ‘90s (including Carl Franklin's Laurel Avenue and Cher and Savoca's If These Walls Could Talk), and lesser-seen gems of Savoca's that she hopes viewers will be able to see soon (including Dirt from the early 2000s an the recently restored and released Household Saints from 1993).

This week on Female Gaze: The Film Club, writer, editor, and Comms for The Sidney Poitier New American Film School, Barbara VanDenburgh joins Morgan to discuss Mary Harron's 2000 film, "American Psycho."

Writer and Senior Vice President at The Black List Kate Hagen joins to discuss Nancy Savoca's 'Household Saints', a generational tale of Italian women in New York and the shifting influences of faith, divinity, and family in their day to day lives. Long unavailable and thought lost to time, an original print of the film was discovered by the filmmakers and has received a new 4k restoration courtesy of Milestone Films. The restoration is screening theatrically all across the country and a proper blu ray release of the film is headed to Kino Lorber in April.We discuss the work of Nancy Savoca, her recent string of restorations, and the position she occupies in the broader conversation about independent film of the 1990s. Then, we examine the film's brilliantly nuanced take on Catholicism and faith - how it manifests in the lives of its central characters, and how the film maintains a compelling balance of fascination and skepticism for the notion of divinity. Finally, we discuss the movie as a triumphant story of what can happen when film preservation wins out, and why there is even more work to be done on the front of preservation now and in the future.

Picture this: it's the year 2000. Julia Roberts is prom queen, Gladiator does entertain, Steven Soderbergh is nominated twice (and wins for the bad one). The omissions are glaring, the discrepancies are stark. Where is Mary Harron? Who is Mark Ruffalo? And is all really fair for Love & Basketball? Two women needed to discuss.*This episode was recorded 3/26/2023 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We have to return some videotapes...okay?! This week on the Podcast we are diving deep into Mary Harron's American Psycho with special guest Eva Lucy Alvarado! She's a mega fan of Mary's Brett Easton Ellis adaptation, so we're heading to the Yale room with her to write a followup to the 2000's cult classic. Will Christian Bale return as Patrick Bateman? Will his business card finally spell "Acquisition" correctly? Is Bill Sage able to sweat on queue like Christian did? How does Dimes Square tie into all of this? Why are we somehow discussing Saltburn a whole two weeks after that episode? Is this officially the start of our beef with Red Scare?

New Year, new you? Who better to turn to for inspiration than a good-looking, well-educated, wealthy New York City investment banker with a razor sharp wit and killer taste in music?  Patrick Bateman has a flawless skin care routine, does one thousand crunches per day, stays up to date on the latest in fashion and food, can share insightful music criticism at the drop of a hat, and always returns his videotapes on time. Aside from his need to engage in homicidal bloodlust on a massive scale, he's practically perfect! At least, that's what too many viewers of 2000's AMERICAN PSYCHO seem to think, based on the way Christian Bale's suave psychopath has been memed and emulated across the internet. Fresh off our last episode, which examined the problematic worship of Scarface's Tony Montana, we're scrutinizing an even more deranged cinematic role model. Patrick Bateman first stirred up controversy in the publishing world as the narrator of Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 novel, then caused an uproar all over again in Mary Harron's satirical film adaptation, even as it proved Bale had the chops to be a leading man. Does American Psycho really glorify violence and celebrate misogyny, racism, and homophobia the same way the Bateman character does? Or has this subversive send-up of 1980s materialism just been misunderstood by certain audiences (like, say, TikTok influencers)? This podcast makes for ideal listening during intricate skin care routines, insane workouts, and even while waiting for a table at the hottest restaurant in town!

Drawing on contributions from remaining members, contemporaneous musicians, critics, filmmakers, and the generation of artists who emerged in their wake, this "monumental origin story" celebrates the legacy of the Velvet Underground, which burns brighter than ever in the 21st century ( New York Times bestselling author Bob Spitz). Variety Best Music Book of 2023 · A "Must Read" by Nylon and BookRiot Rebellion always starts somewhere, and in the music world of the transgressive teen-whether it be the 1960s or the 2020s-the Velvet Underground represents ground zero. Crystallizing the idea of the bohemian, urban, narcissistic art school gang around a psychedelic rock and roll band-a stylistic idea that evolved in the rarefied environs of Andy Warhol's Factory-the Velvets were the first major American rock group with a mixed gender line-up. They never smiled in photographs, wore sunglasses indoors, and invented the archetype that would be copied by everyone from Sid Vicious to Bobby Gillespie. They were avant-garde nihilists, writing about drug abuse, prostitution, paranoia, and sado-masochistic sex at a time when the rest of the world was singing about peace and love. In that sense they invented punk and then some. It could even be argued that they invented modern New York. Drawing on interviews and material relating to all major players, from Lou Reed, John Cale, Mo Tucker, Andy Warhol, Jon Savage, Nico, David Bowie, Mary Harron, and many more, award-winning journalist Dylan Jones breaks down the band's whirlwind of subversion and, in a narrative rich in drama and detail, proves why the Velvets remain the original kings and queens of edge.

Welcome to Little Bracket of Horrors. The pod that puts the fight in fright!In this episode we are heading into Pierce & Pierce Mergers and Acquisitions to meet up with Patrick Bateman and the rest of the boys, to see who's got the hottest business card around. We heard Patrick is utterly insane and likes to dissect girls, but we'll find out after we return some video tapes. So join the LBOH Crew as we pop on some Huey Lewis and the News and discuss how "Hip to be Square" is not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. Sorry Paul...Don't miss out and tune in till the end of the episode where we will be taking all 20 of the films we watched this year and put them into our “Little Bracket of Horrors Deathmatch”.

Actress and writer Guinevere Turner on her unconventional journey from screenwriting to memoir. We explore her process of writing the cult queer film "Go Fish," produced on a modest $15,000 budget, co-writing the screenplay for Bret Ellis's book American Psycho. We also discuss her recently released memoir, When the World Didn't End, about her childhood in the infamous Lyman Family cult, and how she approaches writing challenging material, how she decided to capture her childhood in the memoir and advice she'd give memoirists trying to find the arc in their memoir.*ABOUT GUINEVERE TURNER Guinevere Turner is a writer, director and actor who has worked in film and TV since her 1994 debut film Go Fish, which she wrote, produced and starred in.

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.

Mary Harron has directed the new film "Dalíland" about the surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. I speak to Harron and the actor Barbara Sukowa who plays wife Gala Dalí. Also, Jamie Boyle who made a documentary about her sister and mother's addictions to opioids. That documentary, "Anonymous Sister" is currently in theaters.

Director Linda Yellen discusses her new film, Chantilly Bridge, with fellow director Mary Harron in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, Yellen discusses her use of improvisation in both Chantilly Lace and Chantilly Bridge, and utilizing footage from the original film to craft a memory piece and meditation on aging. Set 25 years after her groundbreaking Sundance hit, Chantilly Lace, the film follows a group of lifelong, steadfast friends who reunite and discuss important issues that impact all women. Yellen brings back the same actresses for a story that traverses old and new films alike as old friends deal with the trials and tribulations in their lives. Please note: spoilers are included.
