Read our afterthoughts for this episode HERE!

The Classic Film: American Psycho (2000)
"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” (IMDb.com). This satirical indictment of 80s yuppie excess and unchecked male aggression certainly goes places, but is one of those places actually... misogyny?

The Modern Film: Green Room (2015)
"A punk rock band is forced to fight for survival after witnessing a murder at a neo-Nazi skinhead bar” (IMDb.com). Anton Yelchin's final theatrical release, Green Room is American History X with more raw violence and none of the histrionics.
