Editor's Note: I will be going to a 2 month break. There will be episodes released normally, they will just be prerecorded so if you send us any comments, we won't be able to get to them until I get back!

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. (00:59:16) Swade shares an anecdote about using woman and women and Walter expresses how much he loves the dance and music in "Femmes Femmes". (01:11:30) Bunch of shoutouts to make this episode! Thank you everyone who is sending us messages and comments. Much love!

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?

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!

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?

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.

On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on Heinosuke Gosho's <五所平之助> "An Inn at Osaka <大阪の宿>", a Japanese post-war film about Mita, a man who loses his job and moves to an inn in Osaka. There, he meets a befriends different women who struggle through the changing society of Japan. (00:01:09) Biology talk makes Swade excited because he finally found out that arteries and veins are different. (00:06:44) Walter recently saw Ken Russell's "Altered States", which is a film where a man goes on many drug trips. Walter compares the trips in the film to his own experiences. (00:16:24) The episode takes a look at how each individual woman represents different attitudes towards the changing Japan and how the film feels pro-human because all the characters have to keep moving forward despite the odds. (00:35:20) Walter sees a lot of his wealthier class identity in Mita but Swade refuses to let Mita and Walter be the bad guys. (00:57:11) Walter tries to compare World War II with the American Civil War but gets shut down immediately. To respond, Swade talks about his escapades with cheating women. (01:16:45) Swade boasts his skill of socializing with strangers even though he can't travel well. (01:26:15) Finally, a quick update on the better progress of Swade's dad and we find out why he just learned about the arteries and veins thing.

UPDATE: Surgery was successful! Swade's incredibly thankful for everyone who has donated and helped his family through this difficult and weird period. Without his permission, Fake Film Fans wants to leave the Gofundme link for one more week because even though the medical bills have been covered, the family will still have to go through a period of time where Swade's dad can't be working which is going to cause a heavy financial strain.

On this episode, Fake Film Fans tries to discuss "I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle", a UK horror comedy film directed by Dirk Campbell. The film tells a story about a killer vampire motorcycle with an expected amount of hot quality biker outfitted men. (00:03:07) Walter watched Ruben Östlund's new Palme d'Or winning film "Triangle of Sadness" and is unsurprisingly completely head over heels for the vomiting scene. (00:11:57) There are a lot of wild scenes in "I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle" and Fake Film Fans share their favorite scenes. (00:21:28) Thoughts on garlic develop into a conversation about inappropriate public smells again. (00:33:14) A conversation about motorcycles develops into a sports manga conversation. (00:49:14) And suddenly, the podcast has finished and we realize we actually hardly talked about "I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle".

Starting this podcast with a bit of a sad note. Swade's dad's brain cancer has unfortunately regrown and that is predictably going to become quite a large financial burden on his family. We linked the gofundme above and if you are interested in helping out anyway you can, check it out. If you can't, consider sharing the link and in general, just keep Swade's family in your thoughts. They all greatly appreciate it.

On this episode, Fake Film Fans talks about the popular teen drama comedy "She's the Man" starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum but Walter struggles to pronounce names hence the title. The film is about a female highschool student who pretends to be a boy and enters a boarding school because they want to join the boy's soccer team. (00:04:51) Since Swade had to take a break, he wants to do his Christmas episode and prevents Walter from talking about a movie for the opener. (00:12:00) Swade likes this film and explains why it feels different compared to other romantic comedies. (00:32:24) Swade and Walter disagree with how the acting and presentation of the characters work. (00:45:41) Fake Film Fans also becomes Man Stuff Podcast for a bit as Swade and Walter talk about everyone's favorite topic - their own toxic masculinity. (01:05:41) Swade ends the podcast with the news of his dad's cancer, so listen to this if you want to more about it and how you can help out.
