Bret Easton Ellis: American Genius (Part 3: "American Psycho")
Manage episode 345118982 series 2884938
“I was never much of a fan of Literary Guise, at least not until the 31st episode of their 2nd season, a hyper-pop EDM new disco fantasia entitled, “Bret Easton Ellis: American Genius (Part 3: ‘American Psycho’)” Before that I had always found their sound a little too niche, a touch too twee. But on Part 3 they really hit their mainstream sensibility stride. The rich, sonorous baritone of Zac Kellian blends exquisitely with Gordy Macallan’s delectable wordplay and the crisp timbre of Eric Bennett’s sound mixing really brings out the ebullience of the duo’s chemistry that had always been lurking, just beneath the surface. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go return some videotapes.” —Patrick Bateman*
*Yes, we’re doing a full episode on American Psycho. The novel. The movie. The Sequel: American Psycho 2: All American Girl. Yes, there are going to be in-jokes and easter eggs galore. This is the work that solidified our nascent friendship and one that continues to inspire debate on the nature of masculinity and the best way to secure reservations at Dorsia.
