In the debut episode of Role Calling, hosts Caroline Siede and Ned Baker kick off their five-part miniseries on the films of Christian Bale. And they start with his breakthrough leading man turn as yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman in 2000's American Psycho. What does Christian bring to the role? How does this movie hold up today? Do the hosts need to return some video tapes? All that, plus chat about why Ned and Caroline decided to launch the podcast with Christian's career including Caroline's life-long fascination with the erstwhile singing newsboy.
