In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2000 film American Psycho.
Episode Highlights: We explore how the film wrangles with the theme of consumption through its unique ability to create an alienating experience through its visual and narrative elements. Comparing this film with the 1999 film Fight Club, we also talk about American Psycho's construction of the human monster and what is (or is not) morally good.
A Dose of Scholarship: Check out Christina Lee's article about American Psycho in the edited collection Murders and Acquisitions: Representations of the Serial Killer in Popular Culture, Naomi Mandel's Novels of the Contemporary Extreme, and Deborah Knight and George McKnight's article on American Psycho in the edited collection Dark Thoughts: Philosophic Reflections on Cinematic Horror.
