    On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "Beyond the Black Rainbow, a Canadian arthouse psychological horror film with light science fiction directed by Panos Cosmatos released in 2010. The film stars Michael J Rogers. The film is an esoteric telling of a girl trapped by an evil scientist.


    (00:00:54) We forget to prepare and try to talk about wings - so like flying and cancer? (00:23:39) We start exploring the fascinating themes of "Beyond the Black Rainbow". (00:55:54) Swade and Walter get into an argument about whether emotions are abstract or not and if creativity can capture the essence of emotions. (01:17:09) We talk about the frustrating end that refuses to deliver a final punch. (01:29:21) Don't miss out the end as we share what we watch next week and some of the websites we use to watch movies.

  • S2 E1: "A Useful Ghost" - Unforgetting Dead People
    Oct 17 2026

    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. The film is about a woman who comes back as a ghost by possessing a vacuum cleaner because of love, but ends up being used to help completely disappear political dissidents from society's memory completely.

    (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. (01:30:36) Check out the ending too to listen to what we will be watching next year and our socials!

  • Episode 46: "Femmes Femmes" - Paul Vecchiali's Beautifully Crafted Respectful Space
    Apr 16 2023

    Editor's Note: I will be going to a 2 month break. There will be episodes released normally, they will just be prerecorded so if you send us any comments, we won't be able to get to them until I get back!

    On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "Femmes Femmes (aka Women Women)", a French New Wave musical film directed by Paul Vecchiali released in 1974. The film stars Hélène Surgère and Sonia Saviange. The film is about two actresses who are past their acting prime and turn to alcohol to get through their life. (00:02:14) Firstly, a small conversation on incel music and sex music. (00:10:01) Fake Films Fans hasn't discussed a non-English movie in a while so Walter is on withdrawal and he needs to be pretentious for this introduction. (00:23:09) Swade feels "Femmes Femmes" is a very honest film and explains what he means by that. (00:47:14) Walter wants to know why Swade didn't like the humorous parts of "Femmes Femmes" but Swade disagrees that the film is funny at all and they get into a big argument about it. (00:59:16) Swade shares an anecdote about using woman and women and Walter expresses how much he loves the dance and music in "Femmes Femmes". (01:11:30) Bunch of shoutouts to make this episode! Thank you everyone who is sending us messages and comments. Much love!
