This version contains an extra hour of discussion than the episode released on iTunes and Spotify and is for Substack subscribers only!
I make the case that American Psycho is a failed feminist critique of toxic masculinity, but succeeds as a film, with Bateman as the hero, despite the directors best efforts.
I then veer off wildly and give a detailed breakdown of the difference in narrative structure between film vs digital storytelling, and explain the characteristics of post-modern film, of which American Psycho is one of the last.
