Episode 29: "Frogs" - The Eco-Horror Film about Frogs?

Fake Film Fans

Walter is on a USA trip but that doesn't stop the podcast! This episode discusses George McCowan's eco-horror film "Frogs" released in 1972. Before we start, Walter wants to clarify why talking about sex is very different then talking about muscles but Swade continues to fight back and disagree. (00:05:27) Walter tries to talk about the films he watched again but Swade just wants to talk about his Spiderman game. Some of the films talked about are more Marvel, Alfred Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder", Martin Scorsese's Casino and the viking epic by Robert Eggers called "The Northman". Walter also talks about his experience at Vancouver's Cinematheque when he tried to go to a screening of two shorts by Straub–Huillet. (00:21:30) Getting into frogs, both Swade and Walter share their opinions on eco-horror itself. (00:31:30) Next, we talk about how much we love frogs. As pets and as food. (00:45:05) Some weird sponsored horoscope church came our way and Swade really wanted to put it into the podcast. (55:36) Swade and Walter talk about how frogs are used in "Frogs" because its rather unique as they aren't really the monster in the film. (01:04:58) Finally, Fake Film Fans talks a little bit about the other characters - the humans. (01:21:11) This episode ends with a little bit of a tribute to the graduated Vtuber Sana
