Bloody Disgusting Podcast

Zena chats with Emma Higgins, writer and director of the horror-thriller SWEETNESS. A story about teenage misfit Rylee, a troubled rock star, and some seriously intense choices. Tune in as we dive into Emma’s decade-long journey bringing SWEETNESS to life, the music, style, and tiny details that make the movie unforgettable, Rylee’s choices, and why we empathize with her… plus plenty more!

SWEETNESS hits digital/on-demand in the US on Feb 13 and Canadian theaters on Mar 6.

This week on the Bloody Disgusting Podcast, in honor of Christian Bale’s birthday (Friday, January 30), we’re diving into the razor-sharp black comedy horror AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000), directed by Mary Harron! Zena and Shelby break down whether the film is a brutal satire of capitalism, a serial killer story, or something even stranger, and debate the big question fans still argue about: did Patrick Bateman’s “kills” actually happen, or are we watching a complete fantasy spiral?

With its pitch-black humor, obsession with status, and unforgettable performance from Bale, AMERICAN PSYCHO continues to unsettle and confuse audiences decades later. Are you a fan of this one?

Join us on Discord for a special watch party of The Toxic Avenger (2023) on Thursday, January 29, at 8PM ET! Grab your popcorn, embrace the toxic, and watch along with the Bloody Disgusting crew: https://discord.gg/z7xfWcNa
