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!

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!

On this episode, Fake Film Fans focuses on "The Stuff", an American film directed by Larry Cohen released in 1985. The film is a Cohen classic that depicts a white stuff but is also a satire on the way the American FDA and other similar organizations market things to society and create fads. Walter has talked about the microcinema in New York City called The Spectacle and one of his old colleague Erin joins the show! (00:02:54) "The Stuff" is a pretty grotesque movie but everyone has different opinions about who the real villain is; yet everyone does appreciate the same scenes! (00:41:01) Everyone discusses overeating and their favorites types of foods. (58:00) As a food episode, people share other ideas about food in films. (01:21:44) For the last part, there a bunch of shoutouts necessary as many people have commented. Maybe Swade's bookmarks are working?
