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

  • Summary

  • 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.
