Synopsis

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. Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so
