In Lindsay's fourth (and last, for now!) video collaboration with The Financial Diet, she discusses the tropes and trends of male wealth in media. 

Why We Love Rich, Terrible Men on TFD

Comments

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?

Ryan Courdy

Cool, thanks!

Lexie Lou

Angela: Haha what!? I had no idea. You know if it's any good?

Lexie Lou

Someone suggested “Killing Eve” in the YouTube comments as well

well...there was American Psyco 2. With Patrick Bateman's female cousin, or something...

Angela

I 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!

Lexie Lou

Brilliant analysis, and your hair looks fantastic. The Financial Diet suits you!

I found another! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R6uEO8H8So

Wait, you've only posted three of these. There are four? I'm confused.

Love 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).

Katharine Rumble

Yes. Today is a Lindsayday!

Great work Lindsay! Can you do one on CATS CATS CATS CATS?

Lawrence Whiteside

LOVE!
