Episode 89 - American Psycho

Dragon on The Couch: The Dragon watched Body Heat (rent), an erotic thriller from the 80’s that she loved. Next, she watched Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs (nowhere), a 70’s Japanese action thriller. She found it interesting and thought it was very good. Next, she watched The Quick and the Dead (Netflix), a Sam Raimi western. She was surprised by how good it was and how much she enjoyed it. Finally, the Dragon watched Diabolique (HBO), a 1950’s French horror thriller that she absolutely loved and gave it the highest of recommends.

 

Berto on the Bed: This week Berto finished the book Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Audible). He loved it as it fills his fascination with horrible times in human history. Next, Berto watched Empire Games (Netflix), a mini-series that talks about the famous empires throughout history. Berto loved it, reminding us all that he is a nerd of history. Next, he watched His House (Netflix), a ghost horror film about two refugees living in England. Berto thought it was great and wished there were more films like it. Finally, in Berto's crappy Tubi film corner, he watched the sequels Wild Things 2, Wild Things: Diamonds in The Rough, and Wild Things: Foursome (Tubi), erotic thrillers modelled after Wild Things. Berto said he was actually surprised at how equally bad all the films were, and how they all hit the same beats, but they were all bad films.

 

In this week’s deep dive we watched the 2000 slasher American Psycho, currently streaming on HBO.
