Patrick Bateman wasn't a CEO, he didn't even have a job. He just pretended to work. Did anybody look up to him? Also, no mention of The Founder?

2020-01-29 16:38:28 +0000 UTCSomeone suggested “Killing Eve” in the YouTube comments as well
2020-01-29 16:01:38 +0000 UTCwell...there was American Psyco 2. With Patrick Bateman's female cousin, or something...

2020-01-29 15:58:38 +0000 UTCI mean, I wouldn't mind a film with a female serial killer on a spree - I would suggest the book Dirty Weekend for adaptation. Once again thank you for the video, pointing out this kind of pattern is definitely helping me understand media better. Awesome work, gang!

2020-01-28 19:11:22 +0000 UTCLove this! I always fantasized what a Mad Men follow up w/ Peggy as a boss in the 80s would look like, essentially as a soft reboot of Mad Men. But while Mad Men was grounded in attention to the details of the period, I would imagine a Peggy version might need to take liberties with what would be believed in the time period (i.e. it's definitely believable that she would continue to be successful as a woman in the industry, but not to the level of extravagance as Don was in the 60s and certainly w/o the recklessness because women weren't afforded the leeway).
