Starting this podcast with a bit of a sad note. Swade's dad's brain cancer has unfortunately regrown and that is predictably going to become quite a large financial burden on his family. We linked the gofundme above and if you are interested in helping out anyway you can, check it out. If you can't, consider sharing the link and in general, just keep Swade's family in your thoughts. They all greatly appreciate it.

On this episode, Fake Film Fans talks about the popular teen drama comedy "She's the Man" starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum but Walter struggles to pronounce names hence the title. The film is about a female highschool student who pretends to be a boy and enters a boarding school because they want to join the boy's soccer team. (00:04:51) Since Swade had to take a break, he wants to do his Christmas episode and prevents Walter from talking about a movie for the opener. (00:12:00) Swade likes this film and explains why it feels different compared to other romantic comedies. (00:32:24) Swade and Walter disagree with how the acting and presentation of the characters work. (00:45:41) Fake Film Fans also becomes Man Stuff Podcast for a bit as Swade and Walter talk about everyone's favorite topic - their own toxic masculinity. (01:05:41) Swade ends the podcast with the news of his dad's cancer, so listen to this if you want to more about it and how you can help out.
