Both American Psycho and the movie adaptation, American Psycho, notoriously mocked the blander parts of US society in a series of coruscating monologues from its lead character, Patrick Bateman. One of those skewered by the movie was Huey Lewis and the News.
Now, the bland are getting their revenge. Here’s Huey Lewis assuming the Christian Bale part to monologue his revenge on both the movie and Weird Al Yankovic in this entirely bizarre video.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
