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.

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?

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.

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!

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?
