    S2 E1: "A Useful Ghost" - Unforgetting Dead People

    We are back from a long break! It was unfortunately needed as numerous of busy "events" happened that made doing the podcast a little impossible for both Swade and Walter. On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "A Useful Ghost" (aka ใช้ได้ค่ะ), a Thai arthouse drama comedy film directed by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke released in 2025. The film stars the popular thai actress Davika Hoorne (aka Mai Davika/ดาวิกา โฮร์เน่). The film also stars Apasiri Nitibhon and Wanlop Rungkumjad.

(00:00:58) We first catch up with each other's lives in our 3 year break. (00:21:07) Once we get into the film, we discuss about the ghost metaphor, how we forget the dead politically and socially and who we'd like to bring back as vacuum cleaners.

    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!

    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.

(00:20:01) 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.

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.
