Film Frauds
Welcome to Film Frauds! This is a movie podcast show where we talk about all types of movies along with trying to answer the question: ”what modern movies are going to be classics?”
Episodes
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 D...
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.

We are back, baby! This time to talk all about one of our favorite filmmakers and one of his more interesting movies! Has this movie been forgotten over time? Or has it slowly been marinating to become a....modern classic?
0:00 - Three Billboards Outside, Ebbing Missouri Discussion
53:41 - Is it a Modern Classic?
1:04:13 - A new "The Odyssey" Trailer! Does it look good?
If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank y...
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!
If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank you!

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!
If you can, leave us a review a...
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?

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 t...
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, the...
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 ...
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 r...
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.
