Film Frauds: Recent Episodes
Film Frauds
Welcome to Film Frauds! A show hosted by three guys who have no idea how to make a movie but are veterans in critiquing them. Listen to our podcast for unprofessional and 100% biased opinions on the films of the past, present, and future.
We have a backlog of episodes that we need to put out that we haven't yet! This week, we are discussing Christopher Nolan's most popular movie? This generation's 2001: A Space Odyssey? The Science Fiction film that will define the genre for decades to come? Crazy how you could say this about a few of his movies!
If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank you!

Hell or High Water, Wind River, Sicario.......Sicario 2.......Those Who Wish Me Dead......Without Remorse.......are just some of the works from auteur and totally not Hollywood weirdo Taylor Sheridan! Join us, fellow Republicans (just kidding; we are good people), as we discuss another movie from one of the most important people in Hollywood and his movie Hell or High Water! This also wasn't directed by Taylor Sheridan but rather David McKenzie (you should watch Starred Up), but the Sheridan ecosystem consumes all of his movies.

Do you remember that first episode of Film Frauds Recommends when we rewatched movies we thought were good, and then turned out to be just pretty mediocre? Well, not here! With Christopher Nolan's cinema-saving The Odyssey coming out soon, we thought we would recommend the progenitor Sword and Sandals FX/TNT re-run iconic Troy (2004) directed by Wolfgang Peterson!

This time, we journey into the deep recesses of space, repressed emotion, studio interference, and last but not least, masculinity in James Gray's 2019 semi-hit semi-not a hit semi-not even James Gray's science fiction film, Ad Astra. When did we record this episode? Don't ask those silly questions...but it was a bit ago.

It is time for another Modern Classic episode! This time, we look at an interesting case of modern classic discussion with Argo (2012), the Ben Affleck directed movie that won Best Picture at the 2013 Academy Awards. But does that really speak to its Modern Classic status? I guess you will have to listen to find out!

After a wonderful evening where Matt and I (this is Tyler; I write all of these) went out on a date, we are here to discuss not one BUT TWO of Bart Layton's directorial efforts: American Animals (2018) and Crime 101 (2026). First, we discuss is American Animals is a Modern Classic or has the chance to become one in the future. Then, we briefly discuss our thoughts on the surprisingly messy Crime 101!

Another new episode of our new series (this episode was recorded before the first one...and like 5 months ago oops) about Todd Hayne's masterpiece (not using that word lightly) May December; a movie that unfortunately came and went and feels largely forgotten now! However, does this movie exist?

Another year and another coveted, iconic, and expected Film Frauds hiatus! However, we are back with a newfound vigor for discussing movies and creating entertainment for you all! Over the next 6-8 weeks, we have recorded a bunch of different episodes and will be putting them out every single Sunday!
In this discussion today, we begin by Matt updating us on his thoughts with Yorgos Lanthimos' new movie Bugonia (2:56). Then, Tyler talks about a new, very underseen and talked about movie Dust Bunny (19:40). Then, Matt's internet dies and we had to finish recording the next day. In that day gap, Tyler watched Bugonia so we discuss our thoughts together on that movie (28:32). Lastly, we start a new series "This Movie Doesn't Exist" where we talk about forgotten streaming movies starting with Scott Cooper's gothic story of Edgar Allen Poe and a murder mystery with The Pale Blue Eye (50:30).

What is better than a brand new Film Frauds episode? A "Clearing out our watchlists" special edition! This time we talk about 2 of the worst movies we have ever chosen for this along with 2 of the more interesting (and in one specific case exceedingly depressing) ones. What does a depressed Mel Gibson wearing a beaver, the real effects of nuclear war, serial killers, and an examination of a fascist mindset have in common? Well, they are all movies we are talking about here today!

Weapons! Children as weapons! Metaphors! Themes! These are all the things that Zach Cregger's new movie Weapons (2025) has! But is it a good movie? Does it live up to the anticipation of its excellent marketing and follow-up to Barbarian (2022)? Lastly, where does it exist amongst the current horror film zeitgeist in 2025? What is the horror movie zeitgeist in 2025? How do we view it as casual fans of the genre? Do I have any more questions to write here? Of course I do....like where do babies come from?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a stage play? Is it the script stating the themes of the movie multiple times? Is it a hallmark ending that wraps up everything smoothly? No! It is an Aaron Sorkin film! Just kidding SorKING, we love you. But do we love his 2015 semi-biopic Steve Jobs? Is it a modern classic?

We are back again to discuss whether or not the prestigious Academy Awards chose the correct winners. This time we are looking at two movies. What two movies are they you may ask? Did you not read the title? How dare you not read the title! Your penalty will be 1000000 dollars sent directly to my bank account.

Zombies flopping around some packages packed into an episode filled to the brim with every exciting movie topic you can think of...if the highest number you can count to is 3. Today, we are talking about the new(ish) hit film "28 Years Later" directed by Danny Boyle along with looking at our favorite movies of 2025 so far and asking ourselves if this has been a good movie year or not. Then we look at our most anticipated upcoming releases for the rest of 2025!

Look in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No...it is a really obvious Jesus metaphor! Zack (Zach?) Snyder made one of the most heavily discussed modern films, and we are here to add even more discussion to it and to see once and for all if Man of Jesus imagery is a modern classic.

"AH-OOOGA HONKA HONKA" - Kirk anytime he sees a woman in this movie.
Is there a cooler set of movies out there made by a cooler guy and talked about by even cooler guys? What is cooler? Using "Live Long and Prosper" as a way of saying f--k you or a movie of deep ideas and interesting characters? If you say the latter then you are a GEEK and not welcome here.

Lost classics? Modern classics? Is there a difference between the two? Well here on Film Frauds, a podcast feed dedicated to the linguistical analysis of those two very words and totally not a movie podcast hosted by 2 white dudes in their 20s (original I know) we are venturing on the very brave and noble journey of examining movies lost to the annals of time and asking "is there something we missed with these that can make them classics?" While our search for modern classics is aimed at looking at the big swings with movies, the Oscar campaigns that failed, what about the movies that never had their glory?

IS THIS A THREE-PEAT I SEE? If you aren't familiar with this series we each recommend 2 movies from our watchlists and well..watch them! Our goal here is to one day, when we are gray and old, too have no more movies that we want to watch. We know that will never happen so expect clearing out our watchlists 38 in 2052!

With the Oscars have wrapped (by the time you are watching this it has been a few weeks oops teehee...also if we say the Oscars are coming up in the podcast...you didn't hear anything we totally didn't record this a bit ago) we wanted to look back at some old Academy Award battles and ask the question, are these films modern classics? Nope just kidding did the Oscars get it right?

Is this a definitive modern classic? I guess you will have to watch to find out if we are truly...Film Frauds! "Wait, say that again!"

Are you ready for some of the worst takes in human history? I want you all (this is Tyler writing this by the way) that I do not endorse nor do I condone Matt's heinous movie opinions during this episode. So, the question must be asked...who is the truest Fraud of them all? Is it Matt with his awful movie takes or Tyler who is just better than Matt in every way...especially with his opinions on this movie?

Another episode we recorded months ago, again blame me (Tyler), but this time we are back for the search, nay, the hunt, nay, the scavenge, NAY, the search for modern classics. This time we are talking about one of the biggest box office bombs of all time, a true forgotten movie from a master The Last Duel (2021) directed by Ridley Scott. Then we talk about Rebel Ridge in the follow-up to our films of Jeremy Saulnier episode!

What is this? WE ARE BACK FROM A HIATUS! Okay maybe it is a Tyler was too busy to edit podcast episodes hiatus but we are back now! This new string of episodes may contain some outdated information about movie release dates because we talked about them back when they were slightly more relevant.
Today we are discussing one of the more interesting modern directors Jeremy Saulnier and his films Blue Ruin (2013), Green Room (2015), and Hold the Dark (2018).

The hit of the summer? The hit of rated r movies? The hit of Ryan Reynolds career? Did this save 2024 film or the MCU as we know it? Or is it another M-SHE-U? Another woke travesty? Another insert banal, thoughtless, borderline derogatory critique? Also some 2024 movies and tv shows that we like!

In a very special episode of Film Frauds, we are looking at not just 1, not just 2, but all 3 of the movies of S. Craig Zahler! He is one of our favorite directors working today so we wanted to examine why his movies are special, why they are important to us, and what makes them so entertaining! If you have any other directors you want us to look at, let us know!

We also have an amazing discussion about the 2016 film Paterson and whether or not it is a modern classic!

This time we are talking about his mid-COVID release Licorice Pizza! How does it hold up against the rest of his filmography? Is it a modern classic? Or could it possibly be too early to tell??

Woah look at us discussing the amazing Martin Scorsese here on Film Frauds. Wait....why do some of these conversations sound like they were recorded before Killers of the Flower Moon came out...wait when was this recorded? Yes, we did record this back in October but for some reason, blame Matt....actually don't it is on me, we, I mean I, never uploaded this so here you go! A brand new The Search for Modern Classics! How does Scorsese's 2019 reflective, meditative, introspective mob movie hold up? Is it a modern classic?

You might be asking yourself: "Tyler...it is February, why is this being uploaded now?" And I would respond to that by saying I am sorry, I moved and we will be back with our regularly scheduled programming now! We recorded this at the beginning of January so if any conversations are out of date then that should explain it! This is the final part of our 2023 wrap-up where we talk about Anatomy of a Fall and then I (Tyler) ramble about movies I have seen this year for 20 minutes while Matt looks horrified.

Hey everyone! Sorry, my (Tyler) audio kept getting good and bad and good and bad. Not really sure what happened there! However, that shouldn't stop you from thinking about if The Lobster is a modern classic or not. I think that Matt employs an interesting argument for this one.

I am scared to post this. For years I have watched the internet tear itself apart over this movie, spawning new factions of ardent supporters and vitriolic detractors. Maybe the most divisive movie of the past 10 years. Is this a modern classic? Did this spawn a new wave of online film discourse?

Forbid empathy. Wanna watch a two-hour movie about a man being kinda bad at his job and insisting that his revenge journey isn't personal? Wanna watch Michael Fassbender (I don't know if I spelled that right) be really cool for two hours? Then this is the movie for you. Although this isn't a modern classic episode, it is a bonus one!

Are we all sick perverted freaks? You may not think so but David Fincher definitely does. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good so be perverted for Fincher's sake. Anyways....this is Gone Girl (2014). Is this the best thing Ben Affleck has ever done? How does it rank in the 2010s pulpy fiction ranking?

It is time to settle the debate once and for all. For years Prometheus (2012) has been a point of contention for us here at Film Frauds and now here we are, 8 years after its initial release, debating our various opinions on the movie. Who do you agree with? Let us know!
This entire episode is a discussion about Ridley Scott's 2012 release Prometheus along with a brief discussion about its sequel Alien: Covenant (2017). Thus, there is no "What We Have Been Watching" section; that will return in the next episode.

Welcome to the South Korean Film Frauds channel where all we do is talk about our favorite South Korean movies.

So we watch a lot of stuff outside of what we talk about in our episodes and we -- and by we I mean Matt, Tyler, and that one kid who won't stop touching his mic -- wanted to give a few recommendations of stuff we either watched, read, or played for the first time that month.

Welcome to the Film Frauds Podcast. It is here that we (Matt, Mark, and Tyler) talk about movies we recommend to each other, a Director's Series where we each choose a director that we like and slowly go through their entire filmography, and new releases as soon as those pick up again. After each discussion of the movie, we have a What We Have Been Watching section where we talk about the recent stuff we have either been watching, reading, or playing. We don't have an upload schedule but rather post whenever we want which means that there will be anywhere between 1-3 episodes a week.
