American Psycho (2000): Masculinity is Empty Inside

American Psycho (2000): Masculinity is Empty Inside

Welcome back to Masc Off, a podcast about masculinity in movies!  This week we discuss American Psycho (2000), directed by Mary Harron. Join us as we claim we aren't going to armchair diagnose Patrick Bateman before doing exactly that, we affirm how nice it is to watch Jared Leto get axe-murdered, and Sarah repeatedly claims she could fix Patrick by getting him into Pokemon lore. And of course, we get sidetracked once again trying to re-litigate our issues with the MCU.

Mulan (1998): Masculinity is Chopsticks Between Your Toes

Welcome back to Masc Off, a podcast about masculinity in movies!  This week we discuss Disney's Mulan (1998), but we get sidetracked by a) the inexplicable delight of Harvey Fierstein's casting, b) which Tamora Pierce novels we were over-invested in, and c) Sarah's pitch for a butch4butch remake of Aladdin. Join us for all this, plus a lot of feelings about seeing (or not seeing) ourselves in our childhood media!

Velvet Goldmine (1998): Masculinity is Glitter Eyeliner

Welcome back to Masc Off, a podcast about masculinity in movies!  This week we discuss Velvet Goldmine (1998) by Todd Haynes. We also throw in a quick digression where Sarah and Andrew lament the current state of the MCU and speculate about who applies the Winter Soldier's killer eye makeup.

Jaws (1975): Masculinity is Three Guys on a Boat

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Masc Off, a podcast about masculinity in film. This is a passion project started by Andrew, queer trans man, and Sarah, queer cis woman, who both have dealt with the idea of a "masculine identity" in very different ways. This week, we're discussing Steven Spielberg's debut film, Jaws. Did you know it's pretty good? Crazy.  Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/mascoffpod.bsky.social] | Letterboxd [https://letterboxd.com/mascoffpod/] | Tumblr [https://www.tumblr.com/mascoffpod] Email us at mascoffpod@proton.me
