Why We Love Rich, Terrible Men

Film critic and YouTuber Lindsay Ellis illustrates why we're so obsessed with watching powerful-but-terrible men dominate our screens, from Mad Men's Don Draper to The Wolf Of Wall Street's Jordan Belfort.

You should do more of this series, either on TFD or on your own channel

Love this! I always fantasized what a Mad Men follow up w/ Peggy as a boss in the 80s would look like, essentially as a soft reboot of Mad Men. But while Mad Men was grounded in attention to the details of the period, I would imagine a Peggy version might need to take liberties with what would be believed in the time period (i.e. it's definitely believable that she would continue to be successful as a woman in the industry, but not to the level of extravagance as Don was in the 60s and certainly w/o the recklessness because women weren't afforded the leeway).

Wait, you've only posted three of these. There are four? I'm confused.

I mean, I wouldn't mind a film with a female serial killer on a spree - I would suggest the book Dirty Weekend for adaptation. Once again thank you for the video, pointing out this kind of pattern is definitely helping me understand media better. Awesome work, gang!

Someone suggested “Killing Eve” in the YouTube comments as well

Patrick Bateman wasn't a CEO, he didn't even have a job. He just pretended to work. Did anybody look up to him? Also, no mention of The Founder?
