  • E4 - Patrick Bateman: Analogy of an Anti-Hero

    Patrick Bateman is a narcissistic, self centred, arrogant nightmare, and that's before highlighting the fact that he's a murderous psychopath. Over the years, audiences still can't help but love the character of Patrick Bateman; he is the epitome of a perfect anti-hero. 

    Topics for this episode include how American Psycho is more culturally relevant today than at the films release in 2000, an analysis on why audiences should dislike Patrick and juxtaposing these ideologies by talking about what makes him such a likeable character, discussions on both the Charles Whitman sharp shooting incident and the Ted Bundy case, along with my thoughts on the films ambiguity.

    Discussions in this episode range from how Scrubs have mastered the art of comedy, how Scrubs have mastered the art of melancholy and a breakdown of the 5 most emotional and thought provoking episodes along with an in-depth analysis on the deeper story meaning for each episode.

  • E2 - Lara Croft: Pure Fantasy or Female Pioneer?
    What does the character of Lara Croft represent for our culture? 
    Yes, she is one of the most recognisable female protagonists to date, but does the character's depiction of hyper-sexuality outweigh her prominent portrayal as a role model for young impressionable girls? Discussions include her development process and origin, the rise and fall of the Tomb Raider games over the years, how Lara is viewed through the male gaze, her positive influence on a female audience, the over-sexualisation of Angelina Jolie's portrayal and how Alicia Vikander's portrayal is a positive step in the right direction for heroine cinema.
