"When a woman tries to cut in line, Batman tells her to wait in hell" lmao
NOT REALLY, LMAO. But Batman will be in hell for a long time to come....more than a just a waiting room for "Batman".
I really like this comment, but I don't want to ruin those 666 likes.
Bat outta hell
Sigma Male
@@jengal1007oh but he is Batman now
The hidden meaning of American Psycho is Batman killing the Joker with an axe.
Matheus Arruda holy
Wow! Mind blown!
So batman is the bad man.
Because he saw Suicide Squad
I can’t believe you didn’t end with, “I have to return some video tapes”
My favorite piece of trivia from this movie is that Bale's performance was based on Tom Cruise on a talk show.
Erthradar So ridiculous it's got to be true.
That happened years after This movie came out
@@CooperDianeBob What are you talking about dumbass? Bale watched Cruise on David Letterman one night while figuring out the role and took the idea from how Cruise was grinning a lot with "nothing behind the eyes". WTF do you mean "That happened years after", moron? What, Cruise was never on tv before that?
@@nl3064 why are you so angry?
One of the best works of Cristian Bale guru of the shapeshifters chameleons.
Vicente Ortega Rubilar s
"right before bitcoin became sentient and blew up Guam"
We all knew it would happen
I just nodded sadly. It feels plausible somehow.
Do they know about the cryptocurrency-themed J-pop band that just came out? With a member named Bitcoin? Spooky D:
Liz P. Hey
@@master007v what are you all talking about?
Bateman Begins
And he killed the innocent Joker
th-cam.com/video/OA5Y7wdmv8s/w-d-xo.html
Patrick Batman.
Nice
Matt Damon.
They actually do call him batman in the book which I found to be hilarious
Neon Link - maybe it's the same person, he left Gotham as a young millionaire and spent some time in new York, goes crazy killing prostitutes and whatnot then goes back to Gotham to dress up as a leather bat to beat people up
@@_o99 I was just going to leave that comment. Such a funny coincidence, although the author may have did that on purpose because his character also had a secret nightlife. Then again, the Christian Bale angle still makes it an odd coincidence.
Somehow Garyx Wormuloid being a potential mass murderer doesn’t surprise
but he'd have a good explanation for it
I mean his race probably killed us all so yeah there all crazy like a space psycho
Dorsia? That place is so over...
“No Can-Do Alberstram Got Reservations at Dorsia!..Sea Urchin Ceviche
Didn't get a reservation, Ed?
Dorsia? No one goes there anymore.
You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
you either love them or hate them.
HEY PAUL!
Try getting a reservation in Dorsia now you stupid f*cking bastard! *Screams* You Bastard!
It's hip to be square, but it's even hipper to be quartered.
They forgot the part where Patrick revealed Lee Harvey Oswald’s accomplice. Keep asking questions
Who was the accomplice
Chitty Chitty Gang Bang lol
what is this ?? why you write "lord of war" everywhere like a psycho
Judas iscariot Supper star and?
I thought he said shitty shitty gang bang
Please do "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
Life of Brain would be more fun I think...
Deepdarkbasement I will ask for it next time.
I don't think it would work. They usually choose serious films because they can make jokes out of the absurd comments. Monty Python is already so excessively absurd that there wouldn't be any room for making more jokes.
You can always try to go even more absurd to make a point
The meaning of life
I miss this show so much 😢
When I first saw the movie, I thought it was about the insane, decadent excess of Wall Street traders in the 80's and how money can make even normal people become corrupt and how psychopaths thrive in that environment. Bateman's peeling off his face had the feel of a reptile shedding its skin and becoming something else. That was quite literal for me. He was a reptile. And his escaping prosecution was clearly attributed to everyone not being able to truly identify anyone else because no one cared about anything but themselves. With one exception... the gay guy.
I had no doubts he committed and got away with his crimes and I left the movie thinking that was the point. The premise was great and the writing hit me from left field.
Fast forward a few years later and I found a lot of really plausible arguments that indicated he imagined the whole thing. It was, to be fair, perfectly set up that way. However, I'm sticking to my original impression.
Btw, while I love all of your episodes, this one is particularly funny. Thanks.
Let's see Paul Allen's hidden meaning video
I've waited so long for you to talk about this movie
top notch acting at the end there, garyx. batman begins/batman
To all NEWCOMERS, if you truly want to understand Garyx's true humor and analysis then go and check out Wisecrack's early videos(namely on Fight Club, Pulp Fiction) and you will appreciate this series more!
That's a nice way to say that the quality of the series has dropped lol
Olli Ikr, it's has become more exagerated with the gestures and puns. Nothing subtle like the early ones
Olli Nooo I don't think so. I love this series more than ever.
But when you watch Earthling Cinema for the first time, you don't fully understand it because:
You don't know Garyx is an alien.
You don't understand censoring of eating food.
You don't understand much of the humour as it comes from the fact that Garyx is from future.
The guy is an alien way in the future who has a flawed understanding of modern Earth/humanity.
It's not that complex.
can't argue with that :D
This was really good. You´re doing great job, I look forward to more of "Hidden Meanings".
Gosh darn-it, these reviews are so good.
Fight Club and American Psycho are two of my favorite movies. Now that they’ve been reviewed by GW, my life is complete.
The fact that Logan Paul has nearly 8x as many subs as Wisecrack... Makes me want to give up on humanity.....
thasright bish lowest common denominator
“Batman tells her to wait in hell” is one of the most badass things I’ve heard in a while
You never cease to entertain Warex Gormuloid
I've been waiting for this!
Always outstanding work.
love these videos always miss them in between episodes
That rip moment when you've been shilling American Psycho on like every earthling cinema for the past year but your comment doesn't get featured :'(

This was a pretty entertaining synopsis! Good job haha. I particularly loved how you referred to Christian as Batman, and how you said the dinner reservation juxtaposed by the background porn., altho you've seen worse LOL. Tasteful wit! Keep the movie breakdowns coming lol. xx
"…by Brett Easton Ellis Island and starring weight loss guru Christian Bale…"
Lmao omg i love this series... Please NEVER stop.
"What day is it?"
"It's february 2nd - Groundhog Day."

“The fuzz asked what happened, so Patrick shows them.” I laughed way too hard at that

Finally!!!
It's like a regular Jacuzzi...but in space.
#wegetityourefromspace
Philosophy of 'The Simpsons' please! Love your work, thank you wisecrack.
Garyx's random spasm in the end made me drop my drink.
PLEASE do a video on The Good Place!!
Great addition to the series.
Can you do first blood?
Just finished reading the book! Awesome!
Her! Thanks so much for the Skillshare offer!!
"Bury the Hatchet" I'm dead.
Garyx wormuloid how old are you ?
This keeps me up at nights.
It would be great if you guys make a video about Devilman for the next one
This is my favourite movie out of the 729 movies I've watched
HI WISECRACK
How long are you going to intern for him?!
I literally watched this last night
Clicked like before I even watched because I knew that this would give me a semi.
finally
Do the Truman Show!
Do the Truman Show!
Do the Truman Show!
Do the Truman Show!
WHY?!
The “hidden meaning” is so obvious that dissecting it would be a total waste of time
Lmao they just did it
No, don’t
With Isle of Dogs coming out soon, have you considered doing an analysis of Wes Anderson (or Grand Budapest Hotel in particular)?
"An astonishing twist, the lawyer doesn't charge for the hour" 😂😂
Has anyone suggested they do district 9? I love that movie.
Long time no see
Batman & The Joker
Solo Otto and Green Goblin
My mom made me watch the movie cause her favorite scene is Christian Bale running with a chainsaw covered in blood wearing nothing but his bleach white socks. But I was really impressed with the ending and everything it implied. To me the one other thing it also seems to show is that here you have a psychopath killer literally telling everyone around him what's wrong with him. He tells them he's ill, he tells them he does horrible things, he doesn't try that hard to hide it like he secretly wants to get caught. In the end he full on confesses and no one believes him or even bats an eye. A mentally ill man practically screaming for help with his violent thoughts and/or tendencies, and everyone willfully ignores it, which really just drives him closer to his break down.
The Philosophy of Mindhunter would be amazing
I recognize myself in my set of mirrors.
I'll let myself out.
This is a really funny episode
I lost it at Herbie “Fully Loaded” Marcuse
Yessss my favourite film
omfg the plot description!
HOLY FUCK YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG
great video :)
5:03 that part actually suprised me.
Perfect ending line 👌
one of my favorite movies of all time
I liked before even watching. Just wanted to say that.
The Hooli CEO really made me laugh
Do Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
Do one for Fargo
