This week on the Bloody Disgusting Podcast, in honor of Christian Bale’s birthday (Friday, January 30), we’re diving into the razor-sharp black comedy horror AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000), directed by Mary Harron! Zena and Shelby break down whether the film is a brutal satire of capitalism, a serial killer story, or something even stranger, and debate the big question fans still argue about: did Patrick Bateman’s “kills” actually happen, or are we watching a complete fantasy spiral? With its pitch-black humor, obsession with status, and unforgettable performance from Bale, AMERICAN PSYCHO continues to unsettle and confuse audiences decades later. Are you a fan of this one? Join us on Discord for a special watch party of The Toxic Avenger (2023) on Thursday, January 29, at 8PM ET! Grab your popcorn, embrace the toxic, and watch along with the Bloody Disgusting crew: https://discord.gg/z7xfWcNa Shelby will be at CreepIE Con this weekend, January 30 to February 1!
