On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "Femmes Femmes (aka Women Women)", a French New Wave musical film directed by Paul Vecchiali released in 1974. The film stars Hélène Surgère and Sonia Saviange. The film is about two actresses who are past their acting prime and turn to alcohol to get through their life. (00:02:14) Firstly, a small conversation on incel music and sex music. (00:10:01) Fake Films Fans hasn't discussed a non-English movie in a while so Walter is on withdrawal and he needs to be pretentious for this introduction. (00:23:09) Swade feels "Femmes Femmes" is a very honest film and explains what he means by that. (00:47:14) Walter wants to know why Swade didn't like the humorous parts of "Femmes Femmes" but Swade disagrees that the film is funny at all and they get into a big argument about it.

Episode 45: Movie Food! Food! Food! And Larry Cohen's "The Stuff"

On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "The Stuff", an American film directed by Larry Cohen released in 1985. The film is a Cohen classic that depicts a white stuff but is also a satire on the way the American FDA and other similar organizations market things to society and create fads. Walter has talked about the microcinema in New York City called The Spectacle and one of his old colleague Erin joins the show! (00:02:54) "The Stuff" is a pretty grotesque movie but everyone has different opinions about who the real villain is; yet everyone does appreciate the same scenes! (00:41:01) Everyone discusses overeating and their favorites types of foods. (58:00) As a food episode, people share other ideas about food in films. (01:21:44) For the last part, there a bunch of shoutouts necessary as many people have commented. Maybe Swade's bookmarks are working?

Episode 44: "Death Note" is Actually Truly American

On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "Death Note", the 2017 American adaption of the hit manga series directed by Adam Wingard . Famous for being a terrible adaption, this episode focuses on why its fun and also why its a bad film. This is the first time we have two guests, both Erin and Jamie are sisters who bring that sisterly bond to this episode. (00:03:15) Swade wants to talk about Jamie's Naruto fanfiction again and it leads to a conversation about clenching assholes and DNA. (00:20:01) Erin is a huge fan of "Death Note" and everyone shares why they like the film and the manga. Swade does not enjoy Light as a character and that makes people upset on the podcast. (00:39:20) Most people think the film has a lot of love put into it and is a great representation of camp except Walter who chooses to be annoyingly combative about it.(01:01:46) Erin wishes there were funko pops of this film and everyone shares alternative versions of the death note with one another. (01:12:54) If you enjoyed this episode, please listen to the end and support these great guests who support the podcast all the time!

Episode 43: Nostalgic Fears in "Skinamarink" and Mocking Pat Tillman in our Belated Superbowl Party

On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "Skinamarink", an anthology horror film directed by Kyle Edward Ball. The film is about two children who wake up to a house where their parents are completely gone and is filmed in an anthology horror style in mostly darkness. (00:07:03) Swade's friend Terry the Trailer Man wants to come onto the podcast to talk about the new trailer of "The Boogeyman", an upcoming film that is an adaption of Stephen King's famous short story. To Fake Film Fans surprise, Terry just came back from fighting in Ukraine which opens up a can of worms with many discussion about vets, Pat Tillman and the Superbowl. (00:29:47) Swade flexes his knowledge about horror and shows how "Skinamarink" tackles liminal space horror and nostalgia horror. (00:45:49) Walter doesn't relate to any of these horrors which gives a good opportunity for Swade and Walter to analyze their childhood fears and their differences. (01:01:16) After referencing his childhood physical abuse, Walter had to dissect it a little in the end and joke about it. Asians, right? (01:10:44) This episode ends with Swade trying to do his shoutouts of people he can't even remember their names. I mean, are these people even real?

Episode 42: "M3GAN" - A Fascinating Commentary on Parenting

On  this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "M3GAN", a horror film directed by Gerard Johnstone. The film is about a robot doll who starts acting as a parent to an orphan and decides to protect her by killing anything that threatens to endanger her. (00:04:11) Swade and Walter discuss what types of snacks they'd like to bring to a movie theater that aren't served in a movie's concession stands. Since both of them do not think like normal humans, they don't really bring snacks that are edible. (00:24:07) Swade and Walter realize the film has a lot of different themes about parenting, technology and love. (00:45:43) Swade thinks "M3GAN's" ability to make you question when killing can be justified is fascinating but Walter is unimpressed. (00:55:41) It turns out, while both Swade and Walter understand "M3GAN's" is critiquing parenting, they have very different ideas of what is being critiqued. (01:13:22) Fake Film Fans got some really touching comments for this episode and Swade once again proves he's a bad friend.
