The Search for Modern Classics: Man of Steel (2013)
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.

The Search for Modern Classics: Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013)
"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.

The Search for Lost Classics: Turbo Kid (2015) and Spectral (2016)
Lost classics? Modern classics? Is there a difference between the two? Well here on Film Frauds, a podcast feed dedicated to the linguistical analysis of those two very words and totally not a movie podcast hosted by 2 white dudes in their 20s (original I know) we are venturing on the very brave and noble journey of examining movies lost to the annals of time and asking "is there something we missed with these that can make them classics?" While our search for modern classics is aimed at looking at the big swings with movies, the Oscar campaigns that failed, what about the movies that never had their glory?
