Disclaimer: killing people is bad actually. Don't try Patrick Bateman's techniques at home.

This week we check out Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 work of horror, "American Psycho." Join us as we dive into the absolute horrifying nihilism that is late century Wall Street and its logical conclusion: mass, indiscriminate torture and murder.

We get into the elements of the book the film fails to capture, the author's own limitations politically, the genius of language, and some high quality fashion advice.
