Warning: This episode contains discussions on racial violence and sexual assault.
Swade and Walter talk a little bit about how its been hard to socialize because Walter tends to be quite picky in the way he likes socializing. (00:14:10) Walter shares his thoughts on Ousmane Sembène's "Camp de Thiaroye", a fictional recounting of the mass killing of African French troops in 1944. While the history of racism is depressing, the film delivers its white characters in an interesting way that Walter tries to elaborate on. (00:34:07) Swade talks about Wes Craven's "The Hills Have Eyes" and believes Wes Craven made a film about class warfare in a state of nature setting. Swade thinks the experiment is interesting but he doesn't agree that everything that happens in the film works well in support of his theory. (00:58:25) A twitter account belonging to Nin Online, a random video game that neither Swade nor Walter have heard of, interacted with Fake Film Fans' twitter. Swade and Walter both now want to play it.
