Film Frauds

The Hillbilly Heist! Ocean's 7/11! Another Steven Soderbergh movie that is criminally underrated, underseen, and underappreciated. This time, we are discussing his 2017 Ocean's Eleven but in the South, Logan Lucky!    Next week: Clearing Out Our Watchlists 5   If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank you!

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. If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank you!

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. If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank you!

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?

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 and some feedback! Thank you!

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!
