Confession: One of us has NEVER seen Freaked.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Freaked (1993) for the very first time and we were absolutely not prepared for whatever the hell this movie is.

Directed by Alex Winter and Tom Stern, Freaked is a completely unhinged cocktail of mutant monsters, gross-out comedy, insane practical effects, MTV-era chaos, and jokes flying at you faster than you can process them.

And somehow… it works.

From Alex Winter’s transformation into a hideous freak to Randy Quaid’s completely deranged Elijah C. Skuggs, we break down our raw first-time reaction, our favorite mutants, the practical effects, the jokes that absolutely destroyed us, and the bizarre story of how a movie THIS weird ever got made by a major studio.

Because Freaked isn’t just strange.

It feels like someone gave a bunch of lunatics millions of dollars, locked the studio executives out of the building, and told them to make the weirdest movie imaginable.

So why did Freaked disappear?

Was it simply too bizarre for audiences in 1993… or is this one of the most criminally overlooked cult comedies of the ’90s?

If you’re into first-time movie reactions, forgotten cult movies, practical effects, movie history, and honest, unfiltered takes… you’re in the right place.

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and CRUISING might be one of the most controversial films we've completely overlooked.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch William Friedkin's CRUISING (1980) for the very first time, and we were not prepared for how provocative, unsettling, and strangely hypnotic this movie still feels more than 45 years later.

Starring Al Pacino in one of the most unusual roles of his career, CRUISING follows an undercover NYPD officer who infiltrates New York City's underground leather bar scene to investigate a series of brutal murders. As the investigation deepens, the line between his assignment and his identity begins to blur in ways that are disturbing, mysterious, and endlessly debated.

Loosely inspired by real events, the film sparked major controversy before its release and has remained one of the most divisive entries in William Friedkin's filmography ever since. Along the way, we discuss Al Pacino's performance, Friedkin's direction, the film's haunting atmosphere, its legacy, and why audiences are still arguing about what the ending actually means.

From its unforgettable opening moments to its ambiguous final scene, we break down our genuine first-time reactions, the moments that shocked us the most, and whether this infamous cult classic deserves a second look.

Is CRUISING an unfairly misunderstood masterpiece...

or is it one of the most controversial thrillers ever put on film?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and ROSEMARY'S BABY might be one of the most influential horror films we've completely overlooked.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Roman Polanski's ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) for the very first time, and we were not prepared for how unsettling, clever, and surprisingly modern this movie still feels nearly 60 years later.

Starring Mia Farrow in a career-defining performance, ROSEMARY'S BABY follows a young woman who moves into a new apartment with her husband, only to become increasingly convinced that something is terribly wrong with the people around her. What begins as a slow-burning psychological thriller gradually transforms into one of the most disturbing and influential horror films ever made.

Based on the bestselling novel by Ira Levin, the film helped redefine horror by replacing monsters and jump scares with paranoia, dread, and the terrifying fear that nobody will believe you. Along the way, we discuss Mia Farrow's unforgettable performance, the film's eerie atmosphere, its shocking themes, and why so many filmmakers still cite it as a major influence today.

From the unsettling dream sequences to the unforgettable final act, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely creeped us out, and whether this classic lived up to its legendary reputation.

Is ROSEMARY'S BABY one of the greatest psychological horror films ever made...

or did we just discover why this movie has been haunting audiences for nearly six decades?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and ROAD TO PERDITION might be one of the greatest crime dramas we completely overlooked.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Sam Mendes’ ROAD TO PERDITION (2002) for the very first time, and we were not prepared for how powerful, emotional, and beautifully crafted this movie is.

Starring Tom Hanks in one of the most unexpected roles of his career, ROAD TO PERDITION follows Michael Sullivan, an enforcer for an Irish mob family whose life is shattered after his son witnesses a murder. What follows is a gripping story of revenge, fatherhood, loyalty, and redemption set against the backdrop of Depression-era America.

Based on the graphic novel by Max Allan Collins and illustrated by Richard Piers Rayner, the film combines gangster-movie tension with a surprisingly emotional father-son story. Along the way, we discuss Tom Hanks' incredible performance, the unforgettable work of Paul Newman, the haunting score, and the stunning cinematography from legendary cinematographer Conrad L. Hall.

From its shocking violence to its heartbreaking moments, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the scenes that hit us the hardest, and why so many people consider this one of the best films of the 2000s.

Is ROAD TO PERDITION a modern masterpiece...

or did we just discover the gangster movie we've been missing for the last 20 years?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and POLICE STORY might be one of the most insane action movies we’ve ever ignored.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Jackie Chan’s POLICE STORY (1985) for the very first time and we were NOT prepared for how completely unhinged this movie gets.

Directed by and starring Jackie Chan at the absolute peak of his powers, POLICE STORY feels like somebody took a Hong Kong crime thriller, cranked the action to impossible levels, and then replaced every safety regulation with pure chaos.

What starts as a simple police case quickly spirals into exploding shanty towns, shopping mall destruction, death-defying stunt work, and some of the most unbelievable action sequences we’ve ever seen.

From Jackie Chan literally risking his life for the perfect shot to the movie’s relentless pace and insane practical stunts, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely shocked us, and why this feels completely different from modern action movies.

Is POLICE STORY one of the greatest action movies ever made…
or are we just traumatized by watching Jackie Chan almost die every five minutes?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and INNERSPACE might be one of the weirdest movies we’ve ever ignored.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Joe Dante’s INNERSPACE (1987) for the very first time - and we were NOT prepared for how chaotic, hilarious, and genuinely creative this movie gets.

Produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, INNERSPACE feels like somebody smashed together Fantastic Voyage, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and a full-blown 80s action comedy… then injected it directly into Martin Short’s bloodstream.

What starts as a top-secret miniaturization experiment quickly spirals into corporate espionage, body-hopping insanity, and some of the wildest practical effects we’ve seen in years.

From Dennis Quaid operating at maximum 1980s energy to Martin Short having a complete nervous breakdown for two straight hours, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely surprised us, and why this movie feels completely unlike anything Hollywood makes anymore.

Is INNERSPACE an overlooked sci-fi comedy masterpiece…
or just one of the strangest blockbuster movies of the 1980s?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and Sorcerer might be one of the most intense movies we’ve ever ignored.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Sorcerer (1977) for the very first time-and nothing could’ve prepared us for this experience.

Directed by William Friedkin after The Exorcist, Sorcerer is a grim, nerve-shredding descent into desperation, paranoia, and pure survival. What starts as a simple job quickly becomes something far more brutal… and way more existential than we expected.

From the infamous bridge sequence to the constant feeling that everything could collapse at any second, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely shocked us, and why this film feels so different from almost anything Hollywood makes today.

Is Sorcerer really one of the greatest overlooked films of the 1970s…
or is it just a beautifully made anxiety attack?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and The Godfather Part III might be the one everyone warned us about.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch The Godfather Part III (1990) for the very first time. This one comes with baggage.

After the rise… and the fall… this chapter feels different. More reflective. More conflicted. Less about building power-and more about trying to escape it.

From Michael Corleone chasing redemption to the next generation stepping into the spotlight, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely surprised us, and whether this Francis Ford Coppola finale deserves its reputation… or its criticism.

Is The Godfather Part III really the weak link in one of the greatest trilogies ever made…
or has it been misunderstood this whole time?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and The Godfather Part II finally called us out.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we watch The Godfather Part II (1974) for the very first time- and this isn’t just a sequel… it’s a full evolution of the story.

Everyone talks about how rare it is for a sequel to rival - or even surpass - the original… but nothing prepares you for how cold this film gets. It doesn’t feel like a continuation- it feels like watching power isolate a man in real time.

From Michael Corleone tightening his grip on the family to the rise of a young Vito Corleone, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely caught us off guard, and whether this Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece lives up to its reputation as one of the greatest films ever made.

Is The Godfather Part II really the greatest sequel of all time…
or just a colder, slower chapter living off the legacy of the first?

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and The Godfather finally called us out.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we watch The Godfather (1972) and it was Vince's very first time!

Everyone talks about how iconic this movie is… but nothing prepares you for how deep it actually goes. It doesn’t feel like a movie — it feels like you’re watching power, family, and loyalty unfold in real time… with no escape.

From Michael Corleone’s transformation to the quiet, commanding presence of Vito Corleone, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely caught us off guard, and whether this Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece lives up to its reputation as one of the greatest films ever made.

Is The Godfather really the gold standard for crime films…
or just a classic everyone feels obligated to love?
