Rating Summary

A wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.

In this episode of ‘Help Me Watch,’ hosts Chris, Franco, and Jonathan delve into a detailed review of ‘American Psycho.’ The show begins with a humorous intro, setting a light-hearted tone before transitioning into a one-minute review of ‘Nobody 2‘ starring Bob Odenkirk. The hosts criticize the film for its lack of substance and phoned-in performances. The main feature, however, is ‘American Psycho,’ where they discuss nuances and intricacies, such as Patrick Bateman’s psychopathy, the eighties yuppie culture, and the ambiguous ending that leaves viewers questioning what was real. They also touch on trivia and the cast’s notable roles. Additionally, the episode includes a rundown of upcoming movie releases and a selection process for the next movie review, ending with the choice of ‘Howl’s Moving Castle.’
