Episodes
Faking Movies -- Ep 225. Devil in a Blue Dress
February 14, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.3 MBLee tackles Devil in a Blue Dress. Listen, the audio is absolute dogshit in this episode, apologies for that... Zak used the wrong mic, Lee refuses to buy a mic, Seth did just fine, honestly. ANYWAY, what a dichotomy of movies today... some of the best and some of the worst -- tune in for a real messy, real fun romp.
Faking Movies -- Ep 224. Blow Out
January 31, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBSeth tackles Blow Out. This week, we've got one movie it feels like we've kinda seen before and one that we're certain no one has ever seen before, but that everyone would absolutely love. Seriously, it absolutely rips.
Faking Movies -- Ep 223. The Bonfire of the Vanities
January 18, 2022 16:03 - 1 hour - 74.1 MBZak tackles The Bonfire of the Vanities. What a horrendous title for this thing we do! This week we get into murders and... well, I guess mostly murders. The January malaise is upon us, so cozy up to the bonfire this week!
Faking Movies -- Ep 222. The Player
January 03, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.8 MBLee tackles The Player. This week we've got "stuff inside other stuff", in two kinda different, kinda similar ways. Tangents abound, as we stumble our way through the holidays -- here's to 2022!
Faking Movies -- Ep 221. Big Business
December 20, 2021 22:30 - 1 hour - 74.4 MBSeth tackles Big Business. We've got stories about places this week... at least 3 of them. And a lot... I mean, a LOT of hijinx. So tune in for a real pre-xmas romp!
Faking Movies -- Ep 220. The Spirits Within
December 06, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 90.6 MBLee tackles The Spirits Within. Sometimes people (or entire production companies) take a massive swing. Very occasionally that pays off, but most of the time it's a huge disaster. This week, we're in that latter category. Also, huge friend of the show and famed street team leader Kev is here!
Faking Movies -- Ep 219. Legends of the Fall
November 22, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBZak tackles Legends of the Fall. We've got some sci-fi and some historical period piece nonsense, but the real question is: what ARE the true merits of nostalgia-baiting in the automotive industry and WILL Lee find his dream car?
Faking Movies -- Ep 218. The Trouble with Bliss
November 08, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBLee tackles The Trouble with Bliss. We've got a weirder-than-normal mix of nostalgia porn and unromantic romances. Going kinda off the deep end on both of these, so tune in to see which can possibly be weirder.
Faking Movies -- Spooktackular 3 -- Hellraiser
October 25, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBWe all tackle entirely too many Hellraiser movies. It's that time of year, the air gets cold and the movies get entirely too franchise-long. This year we're doing all ten Hellraiser movies, and Lee insists we're calling it Flayboys. Tune in and experience every pure pleasure that life has to offer... or just a cube... no one knows.
Faking Movies -- Ep 217. Blow-Up
October 11, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBSeth tackles Blow-Up. Do you like extreme sports? or maybe the arts? We've got both this week! Tune in for some controversial opinions!
Faking Movies – Ep 216. Duets
September 27, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBZak tackles Duets. Movies about the performing arts, some say it's a hat on a hat, but we're all about them. Tune in this week for some pretty bonkers plots!
Faking Movies – Ep 215. Outland
September 13, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.5 MBLee tackles Outland. Space natural resources and complicated trade disagreements -- who would think to make a movie like that? Well, at least two people, but not Lee, thank god. Tune in to see how we wade through Outland this week!
Faking Movies – Ep 214. Under the Cherry Moon
August 30, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBSeth tackles Under the Cherry Moon. Once in a generation, if you're lucky, you might get an enigma. Someone that changes the world as you know it. The universe smiled down on us and bestowed Prince upon humanity. He undeniably changed culture forever. Tragically, this week's movies are a) made up by Seth last week and b) quite bad, respectively... so they had little to do with any of that. Anyway, still tune in and enjoy -- a great time was had!!
Faking Movies – Ep 213. Paper Moon
August 16, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBZak tackles Paper Moon. We're grifting our way into this week with two fairly different plots. Mostly it's a battle between who sucks more in real life: Randy Quaid or Ryan O'Neal.
Faking Movies – Ep 212. China Moon
August 02, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBLee tackles China Moon. There's all manners of seedy stuff going on in both movies this week -- we cover nearly all the bases for vices and crimes general debauchery. Tune in to get nasty with us.
Faking Movies – Ep 211. Fearless
July 19, 2021 14:19 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBSeth tackles Fearless. Fear abounds in modern times, why not take some of the edge off with this week's episode! Our old pal Jeff is back and we've got goofs a plenty.
Faking Movies -- Announcement! (nobody panic)
July 12, 2021 09:00 - 1 minute - 1.22 MBNo one tackles anything. Just a quick show announcement this week, all is well in the land of Faking, we're just mixing it up, and we'll see y'all with a full episode next week!
Faking Movies – Ep210. The Hot Rock
July 05, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBZak tackles The Hot Rock. Some heists, some suggestively shaped boulders, decidedly no extraterrestrials, and a surprising amount of Martin Lawrence... we've got it all this week!
Faking Movies – Ep 209. Gerry
June 28, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBLee tackles Gerry. It's not clear how we even stumbled upon this movie, if we're being honest, but this week we've got two journeys. What happens? Honestly, it's not clear that anyone knows, but tune in to see if you can figure it out!
Faking Movies – Ep 208. Cast a Deadly Spell
June 21, 2021 10:37 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBSeth tackles Cast a Deadly Spell. We've been doing a lot of movies that "barely exist" recently and this one is certainly no exception! Tune in to see what kinda wacky magical hijinx both movies get into this week!
Faking Movies – Ep 207. The Ruling Class
June 14, 2021 09:00 - 58 minutes - 52.8 MBZak tackles The Ruling Class. Can you think of a thing worse than pretentious boarding schools? Oh, British royalty shenanigans? Ah, you're right. Well, here we are... we've got both... it's a mess.
Faking Movies – Ep 206. Cracks
June 07, 2021 09:00 - 46 minutes - 41.6 MBLee tackles Cracks. Well, they're all British and some of them are friends. Everything else about these two movies is different. We've got some great wars and some antiquated boarding schools -- tune in for some old-timey fun!
Faking Movies – Ep 205. The Way Back
May 31, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBSeth tackles The Way Back. Is that deja vu you're experiencing? Seth too!! We've got a sorta whimsical movie and a decidedly bummer movie this week -- tune in for Seth's second time doing a second-chance movie.
Faking Movies – Ep 204. Memoirs of an Invisible Man
May 24, 2021 09:00 - 56 minutes - 50.8 MBZak tackles Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Well, if there's one thing we can agree on this week, it's that Chevy Chase is a real soggy dumper. Obviously there's some invisible dudes, and some antics... and hey, we actually got all the audio on this one, so that's success enough, eh?
Faking Movies – Ep 203. Clip Show
May 17, 2021 09:00 - 27 minutes - 23.7 MBWe all tackle... a lost episode. It finally happened folks, we finally lost one. Brought to you this week by "technical difficulties", we have a clip show of random stuff! Do yourself a favor and search out a preview of the movie Holy Motors to see what you have the pleasure of NOT listening to this week (spoiler alert: it was an unending nightmare). We'll be back next week!
Faking Movies – Ep 202. Teknolust
May 10, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 56 MBSeth tackles Teknolust. This week we've got two WAY out there movies... like waaaaaaaaaay out there. Tune in this week for some high art about... scientists? and like... paint? and semen? Ugh.
Faking Movies – Ep 201. Boys from Brazil
May 03, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBKevin tackles Boys from Brazil. Sometimes in quarantine, stuff gets a LITTLE loose... today's one of those days. We've got some horses and some... nazi's? Tune in and crack a beer with us this week.
Faking Movies – Ep 200. The
April 26, 2021 09:00 - 50 minutes - 45 MBZak tackles The. That's right for episode 200 we did a movie that barely has a title. TWO BILLS, folks, we made it, and this one is just absolutely full of goofs from Christmases past. On one hand we've got a battle between roommates and on the other, a dubious game show of sorts. Tune in and celebrate our bicentennial!
Faking Movies – Ep 199. The Way
April 19, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBLee tackles The Way. In this, the third installment of our mini-series, the title grows every shorter. We've got two veritable journeys this week, but they lead us in QUITE different directions. Tune into to wander the darkness with us!
Faking Movies – Ep 198. The Way Back
April 12, 2021 09:00 - 49 minutes - 44.3 MBSeth tackles The Way Back. Two episodes into our back-mini-series and it's all about sucking butts. Affleck stairs into an all-too-real mirror and there's some health food and some... basketball? This is one of those rare eps where we tackle a quite recent movie that some people MAY have seen.
Faking Movies – Ep 197. The Way Way Back
April 05, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 78.6 MBMarielle does The Way Way Back. Kicking off a miniseries this week with two REAL great movies. Some car chat, some vacation chat, some chat of teenage confusion. Tune in for a real barn-burner.
Faking Movies - Aniversary-ish Star Trektacular!
March 29, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBWhat's got a trillion TV shows and over a dozen movies? What's spanned over 50 years and is beloved the world around? What's responsible for some of the best and truly worst content? That's right folks, it's Star Trek. We watch the original six movies and discuss them so you don't have to!
Faking Movies – Ep 196. Assault on Precinct Thirteen
March 22, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBZak tackles Assault on Precinct Thirteen. Faking Movie's most traveled director is BACK IN ACTION this week -- tune in for the obvious thing, and then another pretty obvious thing. We do, however, have a lot of fun along the way.
Faking Movies – Ep 195. Judgement Night
March 15, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBLee tackles Judgement Night. Stuff gets VERY real this week, in kinda different ways. We really test everyone's character, both in and out of fiction. Tune in for a hard look at some titans of the industry.
Faking Movies – Ep 194. The Constant Gardener
March 08, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBSeth tackles The Constant Gardener. This week we've got two movies that have very little to do with cultivating plants, but very much to do with all manners of other nonsense. Tune in for some epic sci-fi and some spying this week!
Faking Movies – Ep 193. Down Periscope
March 01, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 72 MBAustin tackles Down Periscope. Sub movies, who doesn't love em? I know we sure do... but what about comedic sub movies? That's a niche no one thought to fill. This week we cover literally all the submarine tropes through two different plots -- tune in to hear the whole set!
Faking Movies – Ep 192. Victory
February 22, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBZak tackles Victory. The boys are FULL of beans again this week. Sly sucks across the board, there's some vague games with notable differences, it's quite a wild ride.
Faking Movies – Ep 191. Communion
February 15, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 71 MBLee tackles Communion. This week we tackle maybe-real things in the sky... notably, god and aliens. Also, discussions of the virtues of tone poems, as is customary. Tune in!!
Faking Movies – Ep 190. The Banger Sisters
February 08, 2021 09:00 - 58 minutes - 52.1 MBSeth tackles The Banger Sisters. I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing: groupies, culinary arts, haircuts, and sausages. Sound pretty weird? It is... join us on this week's wild adventure.
Faking Movies – Ep 189. Catch Me If You Can
February 01, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBElliott tackles Catch Me If You Can. A hell of a team this week, both plots borrow from real life, non-stop action soup to nuts. I also nearly choked to death laughing at "a normal amount of teeth" when editing, so watch out for that absolute gem.
Faking Movies – Ep 188. Cigarette Burns
January 25, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 71 MBZak tackles Cigarette Burns. This week, on One Wyclef Wyclef, we step into the darkness and really explore the depths of human desires and suffering. There's some serious insanity on both sides, so tune in to see which version wins out!
Faking Movies – Ep 187. Prisoners
January 18, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBLee tackles Prisoners. Wildly different movies this week, folks... one is Lee's fan service to himself, and the other is... a movie that seemed amazing to everyone who was making it but amounted to something way less than the sum of its parts, I think? Anyway, tune in for some great goofage.
Faking Movies – Ep 186.The Wackness
January 11, 2021 09:00 - 55 minutes - 50.2 MBSeth tackles The Wackness. Friends, could there be a worse title for a movie? Seth did the correct thing and made an Olsen twins movie... the actual writers did... lord knows. Tune in for some weird Sunday afternoon energy.
Faking Movies – Ep 185. Eyes Wide Shut
January 04, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBErica tackles Eyes Wide Shut. Deck the halls, friends... the holidays are upon us. What could exemplify that holiday spirit more than cool sex with not-your-spouse and murder... or arson? We've really got it all this week... notably two weeks late... join us in this celebration.
Faking Movies – Ep 184. Lawnmower Man
December 28, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBZak tackles Lawnmower Man. This week, James Bond gets behind the wheel and man, it really gets out of control, fast. Tune in for all manners of household maintenance foibles.
Faking Movies -- Holiday mini-special: Nawg Dawgs Holiday Hawgz and Pro Bono Goof Blawgs
December 25, 2020 09:00 - 5 minutes - 4.1 MBJust a little mini that got clipped out of a previous show -- I think that title speaks for itself. Happy Holidays everybody!
Faking Movies – Ep 183. Killer Joe
December 21, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBLee tackles Killer Joe. It's all food this week -- coffee, chicken... wait, that's a terrible description of what's going on this week. It's all over the place... just tune in... you won't.
Faking Movies – Ep 182. New York Minute
December 14, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBSeth tackles New York Minute. If there's one thing we're great at, it's sticking to a goof that barely had legs in the first place. To that end, what's better than one Olsen twin? Well, two Olson twins and the pop punk band Simple Plan, of course.
Faking Movies – Ep 181. Bicentennial Man
December 07, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBNick tackles Bicentennial Man. Robots, time traveling, crazy sex stuff -- what more could anyone want?? Tune in this week for all your needs. Seriously, quit your job and leave your family, this is really all you need.
Faking Movies – Ep 180. Muriel's Wedding
November 30, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBZak tackles Muriel's Wedding. G'DAY MATE. Take a trip with us to the great down-under, where apparently a whole bunch of really sad stuff happens. We've for sure got two weddings... and then just a whole bunch of other crazy stuff.
