Film Frauds

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.

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!

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!
