Patrick isn't materialistic because he enjoys nice clothes or the finest restaurants, he's materialistic because he has to be better than everyone else
And "Because, I'm trying...to....Fit....In."
@@SaRENRampaiger No, fitting in has to do with being psychotic. Fitting in is one of the hardest thing when you are not like anyone else and has to cover what you truly do.
@@revariox189 psychopathic
Ummm are you not going to talk about the business cards?
Nah the competition part is just part of being a man, its the obsession with the state of tools to the degree that undermine their purpose, that is sacrilege to life itself
It is a strange ending, but I've heard enough from the film-makers to know that Bateman was a murderous psychopath, it's just that everyone around him is so vapid and self-involved, that they don't notice or can't even tell each other apart. He finally got to the point where he doesn't even care anymore.
@Dyl Yes, the the director. In the book it's a bit more obvious that he did kill people.
@@Fedorevsky I thought the book was more vague
@@BadgerBJJ no no no. The book is incredibly narrow in direction. The purpose is that he did kill them and the book does no job to hide it
He begins losing his mind in the book through each chapter. Patrick Bateman’s character is also a pathological liar so most of the things in the book may not actually be true because it’s told in the first person.
@@miscellanysreprieve5464 yes, but… 1. He’s telling the story. 2. There are major holes in the story. The question is, are those holes because Patrick is living delusional fantasy? Or, is everyone so wrapped up with themselves they don’t notice what Patrick is doing?
The business card scene is one of my favorite comedic scenes of all time
Bro honestly it kills me every time I watch it..it’s the close up to his face 😂
hilarious scene
I love how Ash is just totally honest, and Hannah gets worried about his sanity
😂😂😂 you’ve just explained our relationship
Hannah has such nice hair to complement her face, she really should tip her hairdresser!
That’s something this film does tbh I love watching people react to is because everytime both of the reactors have a different opinion on what occurs in the film
@@svenpoletka5236 wtf
@@wastingtime9004 Huh? It is okay if you disagree
Apparently the studio (and some of the cast and crew) was very dissatisfied with Bale's performance while they were shooting, but you can clearly tell that Christian Bale knew exactly what the film needed in him and he committed to doing it that way.
It's cause the character Patrick Batemen himself is acting and trying to fit into society. So Bale is such a good actor, he was playing a character that was trying to fit in. People thought Patrick Bateman's poor acting was Christian's acting.
Bale was only 25 at the time as well and barely being paid for the role, amazing confidence and self-belief
That's actually unbelievable. He's one of the greatest actors of the era
Sabrina don’t just stare at it, eat it!! One of the best lines in the whole movie 😂
Hahaha trust me 😂😂
@@justtrustash every time I seen a reaction of the movie or watch it myself,it has me geeking from how matter of factly / nonchalant he says it 😂
Its crazy how the popularity of this movie has progressed over the years. Definitely a certified cult classic. Loved the video as always!!
you haven't seen it yet bro
Definitely the Huey Lewis and the News soundtrack
Memes have also helped it.
@@SDWorksYT for sure buddy! Some great ones out there lmaoo
Great that you loved the video, but don't forget to return it.
My theory for the "I had dinner with Paul Allen 10 days ago" is that Carnes didn't actually have dinner with Paul, instead just like everyone else in that materialistic world thought the guy he had dinner with is Paul. Just like Paul thought Patrick is Marcus, and Carnes thought Patrick is Davis. It just highlights one of the film's most important thematics, which is people are self absorbed and self centered, that they don't even bother to remember other people's identities.
That works pretty well.
Just like when the prostitutes said “you look familiar”. They all look the same.
Exactly
The detective even said when he first interviewed Patrick that someone said that he had dinner with Paul Allen but he mistaken someone alse for being him and he provided unreliable information
He actually did kill most, if not all, of those people. The director stated that he is actually a murderer He did kill Jared Leto's character, but it's ambiguous if that's actually Paul Allen or not since everyone in their business/yuppie world of Patrick are so similar in terms of clothing style and lifestyle that they constantly mistake everyone's names (i.e. other characters referring to Bateman as another person in passing). The only hallucination in my opinion is him killing the police officers at the end/the explosion of the police car after only a few bullets.
Did the real Paul Allen leave without telling anyone then? Who was Willem DaFriend looking for then? A different Paul Allen?
100% I personally believe that he did kill the real Paul Allen (since he had his apartment and the police were investigating), but the gentleman at the end actually had dinner with someone else and thought it was Paul Allen, like how you mentioned everyone getting everyone mixed up.
He did kill the real Paul Allen it seems that Patrick is the only one who knows about other people and what they do and doesn't mistake them for each other.
@@touchingisjustthefirststep Which brilliantly implies that only a psychopath would bother getting familiar with anyone in such a meaningless environment
@@nicholasking4067 what if the detective was imaginary too. You can interpret this movie three ways 1) he killed all 2) he killed some, some are imaginary 3) all of it is imaginary and all 3 are true and that was the idea behind a movie
Now let's see Paul Allen's movie reaction.
Look at that subtle off white coloring
@@MegaLaban12345 it even has a watermark
@@SmartPrice84 oh my god
Guys, don't just look at it, EAT it.
@@MegaLaban12345 The tasteful thickness of it
The thing is I totally relate to Ash laughing like this being obviously a Dark comedy and all.....
Hahaha glad I got people like you on the channel 😂
@@justtrustash Thanks bro, I’m glad we have your channel! I’m having a blast every time you both are perfect keep going!
"Dog gets stomped to death" Ash: 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂
Ummmmmyea…that’s what dark comedy kinda want…..so no your not edgy mmmk? 🙄😂🤣😂🤣 for real? Thanks for letting us know you laughed at jokes. 🤯
@@jeanb7158 meh, Ash is BEYOND ignorant…..clearly uneducated and not interested in anymore apparently. Those silly inane symbolisms…..and he almost ALWAYS misses the actual POINT of almost every scene or symbol, the girl usually Gets it FAST…..he’s the reason I stopped watching….don’t know why this was recommended ……o and there’s him telling us alllll about him,….like he’s not YA KNOW DESCRIBED IN THE TITLE . Guess Ash didn’t know the bare bones of a psychopath…..ugh. 🙄🤮 poor girl.
Bale in American Psycho: “You can always be thinner”. Bale in The Fighter: “I could probably be thinner “. Bale in The Machinist: “ Alright I think that’ll do it”.
With all of his weight loss and weight gain for roles, I am surprised that he has not been seriously hospitalized.
@@AT-rr2xw Just comedically hospitalized.
Then after the Machinist: "I'm gonna get as big as possible to be Batman".
@@sticky4158 Yeah, But Never Returned to his Top Physique in American Psycho..
@@AT-rr2xw well he does have heart problems now, I've heard
Wow. In under 72 hours we had an Ash/Hannah reaction to ‘Seven’ and ‘American Psycho.’ 🥳
Just wait till the next one tonight 👀
Bale is a sorely underrated comedic actor. He's not a zany, screwball comedian like Jim Carrey, or even the subtler types like a Steve Martin or Cary Grant in his heyday, but man when you give him some levity to work with, he can do a lot with it. This movie, American Hustle, and The Big Short among others. He's the only reason why I'm looking forward to the next Thor.
The MCU squandered him I'm afraid.
Such a fantastic film! I'm sure someone else will mention this, but they actually did three seperate takes for each of the interrogation scenes and mixed them together; one where Patrick isn't suspected at all, one where he's a suspect and one where they know he did it. It really makes those scenes special!
Also to explain the end, he did kill everybody, and the lawyer says he had dinner with Paul Allen because in this world, everyone is similar. It’s those symbolisms you were talking about. The lawyer was just covering Patrick same as the real estate lady selling Paul’s place.
Yes.. ✅
But what about the Paul Allen's remodeled apartment?
@@japython I’m sorry, you are referring to the end where Paul’s place is being painted and sold. As I said, the real estate lady just wanted to sell it meaning she was okay with removing dead bodies. You can tell this is true because when Patrick shows up, she becomes very cautious about him realizing it was he who committed those killings in Paul’s place even asking Patrick to leave. In the end this is a world of greed where anyone will do anything to get what they want. You could even say the character in the movie are more evil or troublesome than Patrick because they never catch on or even care about when he talks about his Psychotic alter ego
Wowww!!! Mate is this actually true..that is even better
@@Kingvxmp yeah I need to sell this place so I'm just going to get rid of these countless numbers of literal truckloads of dismembered bodies because it would make the place easier to sell, said no real estate agent ever, I feel like the more likely scenario is that most if not all of the killings were simply a figment Patrick's imagination, vivid fantasies bleeding over into his reality, no different than his shootout with the police with is super Glock that can cause cars to explode.
I love that Ash was laughing because it is a dark comedy lol. That's the brilliance of the film.
It doesn't mean that he didn't kill Jared Leto's character. It's just that they keep forgetting each others names and who's who. This movie is kind of a cautionary tale about the path of modernity, nobody cares about anyone, people have affairs with each others friends, everyone's doing everything just so they can impress people they don't like, and it also shows the materialism that's oh so prevalent at the moment.
He’s also crazy and is hallucinating much of it. We don’t know what he really did and didn’t do. Unless you think the ATM actually told him to feed it a cat or a pistol magically materialized in his coat and blew up a cop car.
@@Gunnar001 Yeah, everyone's saying that that's all in his mind. I was thinking the same thing for the longest time, but I'm not sure anymore. Why would there be one, over the top, hallucination/vision and what does it mean..? That bit is truly absurd but so is the ending, right? He confesses everything and they're still like, no Pat, don't be silly, pretty surreal, if you ask me. Edit: The director definitely doesn't want everyone to think that it was all in Pat's head, but she kinda failed in that sense as there are far too many things that indicate that. She wanted it to be more open-ended.
@@Gunnar001 Plus didn't Dafoe's character said that Paul Allen had toothpaste, clothes, luggage missing? Sounds like he was gone somewhere, not dead.
@@adeptavatar9394 No, Patrick actually packed some of Paul’s stuff, so there wouldn’t be as much suspicion
@@kryss2056 Is that actually in the movie somewhere?
That swerve at the end is one of my favorite ones in film. Christian Bale has had so many absolute bangers in his resumé, it's quite crazy! You should watch Equilibrium, a very underrated performance of his.
have u seen "harsh times"?
Equilibrium is so much better than it has any right to be.
I agree equilibrium is a great movie and another amazing Christian Bale performance you guys should definitely watch it
Man I love Equilibrium.
Love Equilibrium! Another underrated gem
Hannah I agree with you. They don’t need that many sequels.
The book makes this movie look like a daycare... it has soooo many graphic details... it really kind messes you up😳😳😳 they did do a good job of showcasing his obsession with his routine, music, and restaurants... sometimes those things would go on for pages or even chapters
It's the kind of book that you give a copy of, but wouldn't recommend. I love how people are just a collection of accesories.
I couldn't finish the book.
Yeah, the books is very... detailed
Sounds like a wild read lmfao
@@MrFredstt it is. I like grim shit but that book had me depressed and broken for a few days while I was reading it. You enter Patrick’s psyche
One of my favorite things about this movie is that all of Defoe's scenes were filmed three ways; doesn't suspect Patrick, suspects Patrick, knows it was Patrick. Then it was all spliced together to make really interesting and disconcerting scenes.
Hannah: "YOU put some Fucking high heels on, you prick!" Lol!!
I love the scene where Patrick Bateman says "That's right, I'm the American Psycho." Truly one of the movies ever
He didn't say that
@@B_baldyI’ve watched the movie like 12 times, its one of my favorite movies ever made. He NEVER says that.
@@ninja_tonyI'm pretty sure they are joking.....
@@ninja_tonybruh it’s a pretty famous joke about the movie
He said it in the post credit scene when hanibal lecter showed up.
Over the past few weeks this has become one of my favourite channels. You two are so perfect together.
Best reaction channel atm to be honest
The Team America reaction is awesome lol, had me laughing all the way through.
I don’t know who you are..but I could kiss your forehead mate, mad love to you ❤️
I've watched this movie before, but you two have made it even better & way funnier watching it again.
I love you mate! Thank you for this ❤️
He can't kill Jean because she's the only one who has ever seen him as a person, notice everyone throughout the movie mistakes him for someone else.
This movie is fuckin iconic. When he ran down the hallway of the apartment building butt ass naked I die laughing everytime lol 😂😂😂
The dude at the end acts like paul allen isnt dead because Patricks father is their CEO
Hannahs "oh fuck off" was so british I love it!
I like how she’s able to understand the film without constantly feeling the need to let everyone know that she understands the film.
“Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?”
18:00 Fun fact: The director shot the detective's close-ups three times... Once to show he knows Patrick did it, once to show the detective is unsure whether or not Patrick did it, and once to show the detective thinks that Patrick is innocent. Then they edited all those shots together.
This is one of the most symbolic movies you've watched on the channel. A thing that a lot of reactors fail to remember is that no one knows who each other are because they are so self-obsessed. The lawyer THINKS he had dinner with Paul Allen twice because he doesn't care. He doesn't even know he is talking to Patrick. He thinks he's talking to someone else.
Hannahs reaction at “dont wear that outfit again” scene is why I subbed to this channel “You go put some high heels on ya prick” LOLOLOLOOOOL
All that stuff DID happen! The book is a great exploration on the yuppie culture and the dark meaning around the killings, with much more detail and graphic things.
I'm still not convinced ALL of it happened. There are a few things in the book that make it seem like some of it could be in his head.
pretty sure i read somewhwere the screenwriter said there is a point in the film where it becomes more delusion. Personally i felt like the point was that he is an unreliable narrator and its deliberately ambiguous as to what is real and what isnt. I cant believe that all of it happened as some of the killings where so reckless that it would seem unrealistic and unbelievable that there would be know evidence of wrongdoing. Security cameras/passers by/the body count of people. The fact that an atm told him to feed it a cat shows there is definitely some delusion atleast. I always saw it as the book that is found with all his musings and drawings was where he lived out his fantasies.
@@jonahdube9033 Yea the stuff shooting at the police and killing the guy at the desk, obviously that didn't happen. Cars don't explode when you shoot them.
Whats yuppie culture?
I feel like men find this movie hysterical and women find this movie horrifying and this video demonstrates that dichotomy rather well
It's one of the most accurate representation of psychopathy to this day. Cult classic.
Y'all misread the ending, it's cool most people do the 1st time. The idea isn't that he didn't kill anyone. It's that everyone in the film is so self centered and all act the same that they can't tell each other apart. Remember Paul Allen never called him Patrick. Characters will constantly call each other by the wrong name throughout the film. The director has already come out and said that the kills are all real. They covered up his kills at the apartment and Paul is actually dead but no one noticed because they are all the same and to self centered to care or even properly remember each other's names or tell them apart. It was this culture that created Patrick in the 1st place and will enable him to keep killing. Patrick can do whatever he wants without repercussion.
I'm so glad you two decided to react to this even though it didn't win the poll, perfect reaction movie. It's fucking crazy lol. Everybody is so materialistic and self-absorbed that Patrick can do all this and nobody will care to know. It doesn't do anything for them. I think everything in this movie definitely happened but it can be up for interpretation. Christian Bale had such a spectacular performance.
Glad you enjoyed it mate ❤️
"You're crazy I'm attracted to him" why thank you he's literally me.
I love how easy it is for you to wind Hannah up. Also, since she hasn’t seen it, I would love to see her watch Texas chainsaw massacre.
You killed me with TCM 🤣🤣🤣
God, just in the first two minutes of the video, you had me smiling so much! You guys are amongst my favorite reaction youtubers because you give off such cute and wholesome couple energy! Every video is a blessing. I wish you both the best.
I absolutely LOVE these reactions & how much fun you guys have!
American Psycho is something I’ve been waiting for you both specifically to react to because y’all are nothing but pure entertainment. This video was fuckin hilarious the whole way through thank you & keep watching movies together
That's official: your reactions are the best on KZhead. You crack me up badly!
I saw this upon release but it's taken me until now, and seeing through your eyes, to appreciate the depth of its satire. It's REALLY funny! And you two are a HOOT! (This is actually my SECOND sub for your channel because I have one on my regular viewer YT channel as well as this creator channel.)
Cant wait for more Ash and Hannah reactions you guys are incredible!
You guys had the right reaction first time through, this movie is hilarious. When I first watched this I thought it was a serious thriller, when really Bateman is a parody of American exceptionalism/materialism
What I love about this movie is how its like made out to make you question wether he has done anything or whether its all just in his head because hes a psycho, when I rewatched it, right at the start hes just straight up psycho to the bar lady and she just doesnt hear him at all…did he really say it, or is it just what hes thinking? Great film and another great reaction, just followed your Instagram ash! 👏🏼💪🏼

Great channel and reactions. Not only are your reactions entertaining but it has a sense of authenticity and charm to it. Your catchlines are very amusing and has heart to them. "Let's go!!!!". Keep up the great work, dedication and consistency is key to success.
Christian Bale is a psychotically good actor: Out of the Furnace, Rescue Dawn, and Harsh Times are three of his best performances IMO, and most people rarely mention or react to them.
100% agree to all those performances. Totally underrated
He would make a good Homelander, don't you reckon? I see a lot of similarities between Antony Starr's Homelander and Christain Bale's Bateman.
Red Dawn was amazing; yes, I agree that more reactors should watch it.
One of the funniest films I’ve ever seen
Honestly it is.
I've watched a lot of your videos now and was not subscribed so there you go I just did, but no bad comment after because you guys are so genuine and fun to watch. please keep doing your stuff and Ash is so funny, I hope he gets success for investing everything on youtube. you have my full support guys thank you for the content.
Thanks for your reaction guys. 👍
He definitely killed people. It’s just everyone is so superficial that people don’t really know each other. For instance people thought bateman was Paul Allan. They all kind of look the same and act the same etc. the dude that lawyer had dinner with in London was just a random person like the rest of the Wall Street guys that he thought was Paul Allan lol. And yeah you were right about them wanting to sell the place so they covered up the bodies being found.
In the book, he killed some of them but not all of them. In the movie it's deliberately vague if he did any of it.
@@deeem2628 not true

I heard that Bale modeled Bateman's performance after Tom Cruise.
What a classic! So many good quotes in this!😄😄 so glad you watched this. The late 90's is a gold mine of cinema.
Hannah's reaction when they are in the restroom! Lol!!
No. He really killed them. The book is much more graphic. It’s so good . Also this is the perfect satirical look at materialism and narcissism in the 80s. It’s partly why no one knows who anyone is and always mistaken as someone else. Because they are so self absorbed, and basically the same person. Just clones in the wheels of capitalism. And Patrick is the robot who’s starting to gain consciousness and seeing how shitty that world. And to him it needs to be destroyed.

Just recently came across your chnanel and your guys reactions are the best! Cheers from New Jersey!
7:25 He's literally peeling a mask off his face as he's telling the audience the face he shows the world is a lie.
No, it is not a fantasy. It is an allegory of how the 80's world, based in looks and status made impossible for people like Patrick to fail no matter how awful or bad they screw up, in the book the constant confussion between characters is a theme because everybody looks, cares for and acts the same. P.s. Hanna has moved up to the 2nd prettiest redhair girl in my book, can't tell how long Isla Fisher's reign is going to last at this point.
It's not really an allegory, it's a pretty on-the-nose satire..
The amount of times I’ve watched this lmao , ur reactions are the best out of any ones
I like that you both came up with your own different interpretations of Patrick's character, and talked to eachother about them. Because this is a highly interpretable movie. Even the author says that his own beliefs on what happened are just a theory, and anyone else's is just as valid as his own. So really, it's completely up to the viewer/reader to decide.
You had me dead laughing at "You should be grateful, he didn't kill you!" :'D
“YOU PUT SOME HIGH HEELS ON, YA PRIG!!” Lmmfao
The humour of this movie ages like fine wine
Ash’s reaction to this movie was my reaction to this movie. I absolutely love this movie and have watched it multiple times. My favorite scene is the card scene. Hands down made it on my top 5 list of favorite movies 🎥 ❤
I love Ash's sense of humor 🤣
If this is how excited and crazy giddy he got with this film, imagine how he would with Basic Instinct! Try that one! LoL
I love your Reactions so much! Realtalk, no Bullshit, both Thumbs up!❤❤❤
I hope you consider using your images on merch. Your expressions in those thumbnails are HILARIOUS!
The book is one of the most horrific and disturbing things I’ve ever read. But is written so well that it’s kinda amazing. This movie, though I enjoy it, doesn’t compare to the book… as cliché as it is to say.
As much as I love this movie, the director did a real disservice in making the ending so ambiguous. A lot of people thought it was all fake but the director has said it all happened.
The different expressions on both of you during the different scenes really, really adds to the nuances of every scene. Both are heartfelt, both are wildly different. Exactly as the director intended.
I love Hannah’s reactions!
The ending is left ambiguous as we don't know if it's all a dream or it did happen. We don't know.
We do know it all happened, the director has said so. She said she wishes it was more obvious and not ambiguous as it seems to be. Not in those exact words though.
Actually we do know and it really did happen
@@L3onOfKings The ATM didn't really ask to be fed a stray cat, though, did it? And the police cars exploding so easily? At that point his perception of reality is suspect. I suppose that some delusional people might struggle with knowing the difference between what they actually did and what they only imagined. Personally, I tend to think 80-90% of it was real, with a 10-20% sprinkling of hallucination, with Patrick not being certain which memories were really daydreams. It all felt real to him. We, as the audience, don't really get any more rock-solid certainty than he does.
@@hollyodell4012 Yeah you're right, the ATM didn't say that, some of what he was experiencing was just in his mind. However, the murders were supposed to have happened. That is straight from the directors mouth in an interview I saw.
Firstly, as a huge comic book fan myself I kinda feel Hannah is right, I don’t wanna see a million and one origin movies. Let’s keep the story going until the characters are too old etc . I’m with you Hannah, you have my backing
If you're a comic book fan you shouldn't respect such a naive opinion. She clearly has no idea what she is talking about, which she admits. Spiderman and the Amazing Spiderman are the only 2 Spiderman films that go over quite similar material. If you agree with her then your saying that Spiderman 2 etc was a waste of time, which it ultimately wasn't. Also, Batman from the 80's is nothing like the Nolan trilogy which doesn't rehash that storyline, nor does Burton's sequel or Forever or and Robin or The Batman or Natman vs Superman. So, I think, dear sir, you are full of shit. Her over simplifying of an entire genre is an insult. Nor one that she meant in a particularly harmful way but definitely one that should not be defended.
Happy to subscribe and like I love your guys reactions and relationship also leaving your job is a huge step in becoming a professional KZheadr
I love it when reaction youtubers actually do funny commentary. You guys are fun
It is ambiguous as to whether he killed them. The director leans towards he did kill them. However Patrick does start losing his sanity towards the ends, so shooting the cop cars and stuff like that might be in his head. But the stuff before that was probably real.
IMPORTANT EXPLINATION IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE MOVIE : This movie talks about collective Identity wich refers to the way that people define themselves in relation to others inside of a same social group based on specific social ideas they are all part of this collective Identity to the point of having their individual personalities blending with this generic idea of how they should look dress talk and act constructed around materialism money and power and this basic image of success they all end up looking the same this explains the whole movie and why alot of the interactions are so confusing at times since they are all trying to " fit in " and to conform to this collective Identity that they built they all end up being part of this constant misidentification that's why identities and names keep being mistaken and swapped through out the whole film since they all look the same act the same have the same hair cuts same business cards same style ect ect so they keep mistaking one another with other people you actually see it happening multiple times in the movie and that's exactly what happens at the end of the film the lawyer just misstook someone else for paul allen when he said that he had diner with him in london or how he kept calling bateman with someone else's name (davis) one of the easy exemples to show that it is happening in the movie is how everyone kept contradicting themselfs in one scene about who was in that restaurant at the beginning of the movie and how paul allen thought bateman was someone else. When talking about the evolution of bateman through out the whole movie his goal is to actually being witnessed as different and as a serial killer that's why he keeps confessing his crimes to people he wants to fit in yet stand out that's why he gets so angry at thoses smallest of details the business cards and how paul allen is able to get a reservation at dorsia remember what he said when he killed him "try getting a reservation at dorsia now you fucking stupid bastard" he is jealous of the smallest things that make other people stand out that's what he seeks to stand out himself but is denied that through out the whole movie wich drives him crazier and crazier and since this story is told to us by him we can just understand that this is just his perspective of the whole story not necessarily facts but in my opinion with all of this explination i'm pretty sure that all of the events in the movie did indeed happen besides that killing spree at the end with the cat the cops ect ect that's why that scene is so exagerated and he himself is not really sure of what is happening in that scene and maybe the other scenes still happenned but were slightly exagerated the more his mind was messed up ... and I would say that the fact that the ending doesn't give you the answer adds to the movie and is not a mess up because you technically have all the clues to understand the ending you just need to put them together to understand the movie
Great vid, guys. I discovered your channel only a week or two ago and you’re already my fav reaction channel! Whilst we’re discussing Bale, I’d love it if you got around to watching ‘Hostiles’. That movie is criminally under-watched, but without doubt one of Bale’s best.
Probably the only time I've genuinely laughed at banter on a video like this, worth the sub
