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. What does a depressed Mel Gibson wearing a beaver, the real effects of nuclear war, serial killers, and an examination of a fascist mindset have in common? Well, they are all movies we are talking about here today!

Bonus Fraud Episode: Weapons (2025) and the current state of horror movies as casual fans
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 questions to write here? Of course I do....like where do babies come from?

The Search for Modern Classics: Steve Jobs (2015)
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?
