Dan Kois

Dan and Lyra discuss two satires of capitalism focusing on unlikely antiheroes. Lyra chooses Mary Harron's 2000 bloodbath American Psycho, and Dan chooses Boots Riley's madcap 2018 Sorry to Bother You. How many Patrick Batemans are there? What's that business card made out of? And what's that whinnying sound?  

Intro music: Huey Lewis and the News, "Hip to Be Square" from American Psycho.
Mid-show music: Tune-Yards, "SIGNS (Detroit's Theme)" from Sorry to Bother You.
Outro music: The Coup and Janelle Monaé, "Whatthegirlmuthafuckinwannadoo" from Sorry to Bother You.
