Alternative Oscars - Episode 26 - 28th Academy Awards

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 21:00:28 GMT

It’s Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards! Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognising those who were cruelly overlooked.

This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 28th Academy Awards. The event celebrated all the films released in the year of 1955. The event was held at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California and the NBC Century Theatre in New York City. The Lost Angeles host was Jerry Lewis. The New York hosts were Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Claudette Colbert.

This year at the 28th Annual Academy Awards, Delbert Mann's film Marty won Best Picture and Best Director. Plus Best Actor in a Leading Role for its start Ernest Borgnine. Grace Kelly was at the ceremony as a presenter and this was just when she was about to retire from acting. She would then become the Princess of Monaco. This was also the last year where International Films received a Special/Honorary Oscar. The Best Foreign Language Film award would be handed out for the first time next year at the 29th Annual Academy Awards.

Alternative Oscars - Episode 25 - 90th Academy Awards

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 21:56:50 GMT

This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 90th Academy Awards. The event celebrated all the films released in the year of 2017. The event was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on March 4th 2018. The host was Jimmy Kimmel. He had hosted the year before.

The 90th Annual Academy Awards was a year after the La-La Land/Moonlight Best Picture fiasco. It was the year when Guillermo Del Toro's film The Shape Of Water won 4 Oscars, it was nominated for 13. Timothée Chalamet, at that point 22, was the third youngest person to nominated in an acting category. Greta Gerwig was nominated for Best Director for Lady Bird, the 5th female filmmaker to be nominated in that category. Jordan Peele was the first African American to win Best Original Screenplay. Rachel Morrison became the first woman nominated for Best Cinematography. It was the year of genre films. Slowly but surely, the Academy is slowly starting to acknowledge and award Oscars and nominations for horror films and other genre films of that ilk. We head back in our time machine to right the wrongs of this year. In our opinion, who should have won? Listen to the episode and find out who we think should have won.

Robert Duvall Special

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 09:05:01 GMT

"The English have Shakespeare, the French have Molière, and the Russians have Dostoyevsky. What do we own? What do we have? The Western".

A few weeks we lost a great and legendary actor who was also one of our top favourite actors. The great Robert Duvall passed away at the age of 95 on the 15th of February 2026. An actor regarded for his amazing versatility, immense range of performances, an actor who always strived for authenticity and realism. He could be big and theatrically booming but he could also be low-key and subtle. A terrific actor. He starred in many films. The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part 2, Network, Lonesome Dove, Tender Mercies, Jack Reacher, Days of Thunder, Falling Down, To Kill a Mockingbird, M*A*S*H and of course Apocalypse Now. One of the most dedicated and respected actors of his generation. We wanted to pay tribute to Duvall on this episode and hope we did a good job with that.

Alternative Oscars - Episode 24 - 51st Academy Awards

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 22:56:01 GMT

It’s Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognising those who were cruelly overlooked.

This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 51st Academy Awards. The event celebrated all the films released in the year of 1978. The event was held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California on April 9th 1979. The host was the legendary Johnny Carson.

It was a bittersweet ceremony as it was the last public ceremony of The Duke himself John Wayne, who would pass away a few months later from cancer. He was there to announce and give the award for Best Picture. It was also the year when Laurence Olivier was awarded with an Honorary Oscar for his achievements and contribution to screen acting and the art of film. The 51st Academy Awards was the ceremony where Michael Cimino's film The Deer Hunter won big. It was awarded Best Picture and Best Director along with Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Walken. Along with Heaven Can Wait from Warren Beatty and Buck Henry, The Deer Hunter got the most nominations. Did The Deer Hunter deserve Best Picture? And what is up with the person dressing up in a full duck costume? Listen to this episode and see how we would have done things.

Alternative Oscars - Episode 23 - 5th Academy Awards

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 19:10:31 GMT

This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 5th Academy Awards. The event celebrated all the films released between the 1st of August 1931 and the 31st of July 1932. To make things easier for the Holmes Brothers, they decided to only talk about give awards and nominations to the films released only in 1932. The event was held at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California on November 18th 1932. The host was Conrad Nagel.

This was the first of three Oscars events in where two films not nominated for Best Picture received more nominations than the actual winner. It was also the year where there was a tie-winner for Best Actor. This was also the last Oscars ceremony where no film won more than two Oscars. It also introduced the Best Short Subject, Cartoon Oscar. The film Flowers and Trees won. It was the first colour film to win an award. Grand Hotel directed by Edmund Goulding won Best Picture. It became the only Best Picture winner to be nominated for that award and nothing else. It was the second of six films to date to win Best Picture without a Best Director nomination. Films like Wings, Driving Miss Daisy, Argo, Green Book and CODA were the other films to win Best Picture without a Best Director nomination.

Alternative Oscars - Episode 22 - 60th Academy Awards

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:00:00 GMT

This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 60th Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1987 (the year Adam was born). It was held April 11th 1988 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by Chevy Chase.

Bernardo Bertolucci's film The Last Emperor won big that night. The film won all nine awards it was nominated for, including Best Picture and Best Director. It was the year Sean Connery won Best Supporting Actor for The Untouchables. Cher and Olympia Dukakis went home with Oscars for the Norman Jewison film Moonstruck. Michael Douglas proved that Greed is Good and won for Oliver Stone's Wall Street in the Best Actor category. But did they deserve these awards? Tune in and listen to this episode to find out how we would have done things differently.

Rob Reiner Special

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Happy New Year everyone! Especially to you fellow listeners of the Holmes Movies Podcast.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. Goodbye 2025. Hello 2026. Let's make this our year.

Our plan was to make and record a festive Fascism On Film episode, but we decided to change our plans. On December 14th, filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner were found murdered in their home. An absolutely shocking and tragic loss and crime. Rob Reiner made some terrific films and left a real mark on cinema with his work. Him and his wife Michelle were political activists. Michelle was an advocate and fought for LGBTQ rights and helped support wrongly convicted prisoners as part of the Innocence Project. Our hearts go out their children Romy and Jake. Along with paying tribute to Rob and Michelle, we also discuss actors who passed away in 2025 and honour them and their work. Then we end on a high note and talk about which films we saw in 2025 defined our year and made a good impression on us.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes in 2026. We will be recording more Fascism On Film episodes and also as Awards Season is around the corner, we will also be recording new Alternative Oscars episodes.

Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.

Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US. In Finland, it will be released in cinemas on November 5th. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website.

Fascism On Film - Episode 9 - Metropolis

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 08:39:35 GMT

"HEAD and HANDS need a mediator. THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN HEAD AND HANDS MUST BE THE HEART!"

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Holmes Movies Podcast team. Here's to a more prosperous and great 2026.

Welcome to the ninth episode of our ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this Fascism on Film episode, the Holmes Brothers look at Fritz Lang's colossally influential science fiction epic, Metropolis. Released in 1927, Metropolis is a masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema that has inspired every sci fi movie from Star Wars to Blade Runner to even Tim Burton's Batman films. The film has even inspired music videos like Queen's Radio Ga-Ga and Madonna's Express Yourself, the music video for this song was directed by David Fincher. The film is set in a futuristic world. A sprawling concrete jungle that is reminiscent of Manhattan. The working class work below in the bowels of the city keeping it running while the wealthy upper class live up in decadence. Freder (played by Gustav Fröhlich), the son of a wealthy city master, falls in love with Maria a saintly and beautiful girl. She is kidnapped and she is used to bring the robot designed and built by Rotwang (Rudolf Klein-Rogge). Using Maria's likeness, the Machine causes chaos and Maria and Freder try to help save and bridge the divide between the people.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.

Fascism On Film - Episode 8 - Stalag 17

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 10:03:28 GMT

EPISODE NOTE: Apologies for the late release of this episode. We wanted to release a while ago after recording the episode in late November. As Anders has recently started a new job, there was a delay getting the episode out in time. We will try to be better with this in the future. Enjoy the episode.

"There are two people in this barracks who know I didn't do it. Me and the guy that did do it."

Welcome to the eighth episode of our ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this Fascism on Film episode, the Holmes Brothers look at Stalag 17, directed by the great Billy Wilder. It stars William Holden who heads an all-star cast that includes Otto Preminger. Holden won his first and only Oscar for the film. An award he should have already won for Sunset Boulevard and he also should have won for Network. The film is set in a German P.O.W Camp during 1944. We focus on one barracks where American prisoners try to stay sane while the war carries on in the background. They get up to various shenanigans and plan numerous escape plans. Their German captors start to know all their secrets and the prisoners begin to believe one of the men in the barracks is an informant for the Germans. Suspicion falls on Sefton, Holden's character, a cynical man who makes bets and openly barters with the Germans for special privileges.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.

Fascism On Film - Episode 7 - Seven Days In May

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 09:00:00 GMT

"All you've got to know is this: right now the government of the United States is sitting on top of the Washington Monument, right on the very point, tipping right and left and ready to fall off and break up on the pavement. There are just a handful of men who can prevent that. And you're one of them."

Welcome to the seventh episode of our ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this Fascism on Film episode, the Holmes Brothers look at the John Frankenheimer film Seven Days In May, starring Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Kirk Douglas, Edmund O'Brien and Fredric March. Written by the great and legendary Rod Serling, this political thriller is about a military coup/cabal headed by Lancaster's character: US Air Force General James Mattoon Scott, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This conspiracy plans to overthrow the government and replace the unpopular President Jordan Lyman with General Scott. Kirk Douglas's Colonel Martin 'Jiggs' Casey and US Senator Ray Clark try to stop the cabal before it is put into effect in seven days. Though released in the 1960s in the wake of the Kennedy Assassination and McCarthyism, this very topical film is an exciting picture and worth a watch. A suspenseful and fun film from Frankenheimer and it's bolstered by a strong screenplay from Serling and its talented all star cast.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.

Anders Reviews. . .Joy Ride & The Hitcher

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 21:11:48 GMT

Hello!

Anders Holmes is back with another solo Anders Reviews. . . episode. Halloween maybe is over, but that won't stop Anders from talking about two of his favourite horror films. Much like the Demon Knight & Bones episode, he reviews not one, but two films. Joy Ride, released in 2001 and directed by John Dahl. It was co-written by JJ Abrams, he wrote the script with Clay Tarver. And the second film and final film is The Hitcher, starring Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell.

Both films make great use of their desolate and claustrophobic desert locations. Wide open roads, seedy small towns and gas stations. The two films belong to a category of films that Anders refers to as Road Horror Films. Road Terror Films or simply Highway to Hell Films. Joy Ride stars Paul Walker, Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski who set out on a road trip and are menaced by a murderous and mysterious truck driver after a prank goes fatally wrong. In The Hitcher, C. Thomas Howell is driving a rental car from Chicago to Los Angeles who makes the mistake of picking up Rutger Hauer's John Ryder and proceeds to make Howell's life a living hell. Joy Ride and The Hitcher are fun and suspenseful horror films set in middle of nowhere America. They both earn their cult status.

Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.

Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US. In Finland, it will be released in cinemas on November 5th. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The two films mentioned in this episode served as influence and inspiration for when Anders was working on the script.

Fascism On Film - Episode 6 - The Marriage Of Maria Braun

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 11:00:00 GMT

"I'm a master of deceit: a capitalist tool by day, and by night an agent of the proletarian masses - the Mata Hari of the Economic Miracle." - Maria Braun (Hanna Schygulla)

Welcome to the sixth episode of our ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers reunite to discuss The Marriage Of Maria Braun, directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The film stars Hanna Schygulla as the titular character. Maria marries Hermann Braun during the final days of the Second World War. He ships off to the Eastern Front after their quick wedding. He goes missing and is presumed dead. Maria puts her beauty and tenacious ambition to good use in order to find prosperity during Germany's "economic miracle". The film shows ten years of her life following the end of the Second World War and all the way up to when Germany plays against Hungary during the 1954 World Cup Final. A leading figure of the New German Cinema movement, Fassbinder's film is a must see.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.

Anders Reviews. . .The Mist

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 12:04:10 GMT

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews Frank Darabont's The Mist, adapted from the short story written by Stephen King.

As it is spooky season (October aka Scary Movie Month) and Halloween is on the way, Anders Holmes will be talking about some of his favourite horror films in these solo Anders Reviews episodes. Horrors film that are some of his favourites, films that have made a big impression on him and films that people should check out. Whether they be fans of the genre or not.

In this episode, Anders reviews The Mist directed by Frank Darabont and based off the Stephen King short story featured in his book: Skeleton Crew. The Mist was released in 2007 and it capped off Frank Darabont's un-official Stephen King trilogy. He had previously written and directed two beloved pieces of cinema: The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Both adapted from Stephen King's short stories. Darabont is no stranger to the world of horror and had written A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 3: The Dream Warriors. His work with Stephen King started back when he was 20 years old when he adapted a short story of his. This was part of Stephen King's Dollar Deal programme, where aspiring filmmakers could adapt and buy the rights to one of his short stories for a dollar. This was discontinued a few years ago. The Mist stars Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden and Andre Braugher. A group of people are trapped in a supermarket when a strange mist engulfs the town after a big thunderstorm. Their troubles do not end there as Lovecraftian and cosmic monsters come out of the mist and attack them. In the world of social media, misinformation and also living in a Covid-19 world, The Mist is a perfect film for our fragile times. It wonderfully reflects the divisive world of today, just as it did back in 2007 when it reflected the post 9/11 atmosphere and the Bush Era in America. A frightening and intense social-political horror reminiscent of the work created by Night of the Living Dead filmmaker: George A Romero.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more solo episodes from Anders during this year's spooky season. Stay tuned for our upcoming Fascism on Film episode on The Marriage of Maria Braun. Also do listen to our Robert Redford Special.

Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work soon in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film will be released in select cinemas in the US on October 17th and in Finland on November 5th. You can read a review about the film here on the Fangoria website.

Anders Reviews. . .Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight & Bones

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 16:45:55 GMT

EPISODE NOTE: On the episode when talking about Jada Pinkett Smith's character, Anders gets her character name wrong. It's pronounced Jery-line. Not Jeryl-line as Anders says. Apologies for the mistake.

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews two Ernest Dickerson films - Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight and Bones.

On this episode, Anders talks about Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight, released in 1995. And Bones, released in 2001. Demon Knight was the first of a planned trilogy of Tales From The Crypt movies. Originally meant to be the second, it was filmed to be the first Tales From The Crypt film. It was then followed by Bordello Of Blood in 1996 and then a straight to DVD film Ritual in 2002 (which Anders does not bring up in the episode). Demon Knight features an all star cast of actors and is a full blown demonic monster film with The Collector played by Billy Zane chasing down William Sadler's Brayker to a church converted to a hotel. The occupants and Brayker must work together to survive the night and Brayker must decide who shall carry on his quest in protecting the item he carries. Bones is a Blaxploitation tribute and horror revenge story that evokes the Blaxploitation flicks of the 1970s, Giallo horror and Universal Monster movies. Snoop Dogg plays Jimmy Bones, a numbers runner and gangster who returns from the dead to exact revenge on those that murdered him. Both films weren't entirely successful at the box office or beloved by critics, but they have gone on to become cult classics amongst horror fans. In Anders's words, they are two films that are worth a watch and are entertaining.

Anders Reviews. . .What Lies Beneath

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:15:59 GMT

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews the Hitchcockian horror film What Lies Beneath, directed by Robert Zemeckis.

On this episode, Anders talks about one of his favourite horror films from the 2000s, a memorable film he watched as a child. He re-discovered it again in his thirties. What Lies Beneath was released in the year 2000. It stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer and, like previously mentioned, it was directed by Robert Zemeckis. The screenplay is credited to Sarah Kernochan and Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson). Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford star as Norman and Claire Spencer (not Foster as Anders accidentally states in the episode), two madly in love people in a seemingly perfect and happy marriage. Claire is a stay at home, who was once was part of a popular musical quartet, while Norman is a university professor working a lot on a project and neglects his wife. Prior to the events of the film, Claire was in a car accident the year before and still is troubled by it. After her daughter Caitlin moves off to college, she becomes suspicious of what is going on with their neighbours, The Feurs, when she notices Mrs Feur crying in their garden and then she isn't seen again. It's not long before Claire suspects the husband of wrong doing and begins to experience paranormal occurrences in her home. She feels that she is being haunted by a ghost that wishes to contact her.

What Lies Beneath is a good old fashioned haunted house story that channels and honours Alfred Hitchcock. It blends Rear Window and also George Cukor's film Gaslight. Robert Zemeckis, who is no stranger to the horror genre, made this film during hiatus from filming Castaway with Tom Hanks who needed to lose weight for that project. The film was made for 100 million dollars and made 291 million dollars worldwide, despite mixed reviews. Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford give tremendous performances, with most of the critical praise hailing Michelle Pfeiffer as the MVP. Harrison Ford is cast against type and that particular bit of casting works to the film's advantage. It's best to go into this film blind and not watch any trailers or TV spots, as they do spoil aspects of the plot and ruin a few twists and red herrings. The movie is available to watch on DVD and it's also able to be viewed on streaming services: Disney Plus and The Criterion Channel (but only for October).

Robert Redford Special

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 08:00:00 GMT

Welcome to another episode of the Holmes Movies Podcast!

Anders and Adam Holmes reunite after a long 2 month hiatus to pay tribute to a Hollywood legend. A fantastic actor and director, who also did a lot for social and human rights. The great Robert Redford passed away on the 16th of September 2025 at his home in Sundance, Utah. He was 89 years old. Born August 18th 1936, Robert Redford's career began in New York City where he worked on stage and on television. His numerous early acting credits were on TV shows like The Twilight Zone, The Untouchables, Perry Mason and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. His early credits in film were Tall Story and The Chase, his first collaboration with Jane Fonda. After being cast along side Paul Newman in the George Roy Hill western, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, did Redford become a bankable actor. His career took off in the 70s. Some of his most memorable roles were in films like All The President's Men, Jeremiah Johnson, The Candidate, 3 Days of The Condor, The Sting and The Way We Were. In the beginning of the 80s, Redford transitioned to directing as well as acting. He won an Oscar for Best Directing for his work on Ordinary People, starring Donald Sutherland, Timothy Hutton and Mary Tyler Moore.

With the proceeds he received from his acting career, Robert Redford purchased a block of land in Utah that he named Sundance, after his character in Butch Cassidy. Redford went onto to create the Sundance Institute and out of that came the Sundance Film Festival. This festival was created in a way to foster new and exciting cinematic voices. A new generation of filmmakers. Aside from his film work, Redford fought and campaigned for LGBT rights, Native American rights and climate change. An actor, director, environmentalist and activist all rolled into one.

A tremendous individual who did a lot for the film industry. There will never be another man like him. He will be missed. Rest in peace Mister Redford. Hope somewhere you and Paul Newman have finally reunited.

Anders Reviews. . .Event Horizon

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 08:00:00 GMT

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews the sci fi horror film Event Horizon, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.

As it is spooky season with October around the corner and Halloween is on the way, Anders Holmes will be talking about some of his favourite horror films in these solo Anders Reviews episodes. Horrors film that are some of his favourites, films that have made a big impression on him and films that people should check out. Whether they be fans of the genre or not.

On this episode, Anders talks about one of his favourite horror films from the 1990s. Event Horizon was released in 1997 and Anders's words, it is the perfect definition of a cult film. Event Horizon may have bombed at the box office and received mostly negative reviews, however over the years it has amassed a large cult following. One of those types of films that found its audience and success later on home video, DVD, Blu-ray and streaming. The film stars Sam Neill, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Isaacs, Sean Pertwee, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones and Jack Noseworthy. A script written by Philip Eisner.

Event Horizon is best described as a haunted house film set in space. It is set in the not to distant future, 2047 to be exact. Prior to the events of the film, seven years earlier, the starship Event Horizon disappears without a trace. The ship was designed for vast space exploration. It reappears and is orbiting around the planet of Neptune. A rescue salvage crew, the Lewis & Clark, led by Captain Miller (Fishburne) is sent out to rescue the remaining crew members and salvage the ship. Along for the ride is Dr William Weir (Neill) who designed and built the Event Horizon. Upon entering the Event Horizon, do they find the ship empty of its crew and also discover evidence of bloody violence. It slowly becomes evident to our characters, that they are not alone. Wherever the ship has been for the last seven years, it has brought something back with it. It is a race against time for the Lewis & Clark crew to figure out what is going on before they suffer the same fate that befell the Event Horizon crew.

Event Horizon takes characteristics of the haunted house genre and mixes it together with the stylings of Ridley Scott's Alien, Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris and Clive Barker's Hellraiser. A film that is fun, entertaining and something you want to watch with a large crowd. Having said that, the production history is much more interesting than the film itself. Event Horizon had a rushed production schedule and was put together quickly. Multiple scenes were cut from the film. Those scenes/moments don't exist anymore and the footage that does exist was badly preserved or of bad VHS quality. Chances of an extended cut from Paul W.S. Anderson are slim, but it is still able to stand on its own.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more solo episodes from Anders during this year's spooky season.

Fascism On Film - Episode 5 - The Ox-Bow Incident

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 17:55:52 GMT

Welcome to the fifth episode of our new and ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers reunite with the legendary Richard Bruno to discuss the classic western The Ox-Bow Incident. A favourite western of the Holmes Brothers. The film stars Henry Fonda, Harry Morgan, Harry Davenport, Leigh Whipper, Anthony Quinn and Dana Andrews. It was directed by William A. Wellman and based off the novel by Walter Van Tilburg Clark. The film is about two Cowboys (Fonda & Morgan) who ride into the town of Bridger's Wells just when news breaks of a terrible crime. A well known rancher who is beloved by the male townsfolk is found to be murdered and his cattle is stolen. It doesn't take long for a bloodthirsty posse to form. They ride out along with our two protagonists to find the culprits they believe are responsible. On their ride, the posse comes across three men who appear to have the stolen cattle. The men are then interrogated and captured. Though they say they're innocent of the crime and with little evidence to prove it, the posse debates on sentencing them to death by hanging. A dark and bleak psychological western that Clint Eastwood called one of his favourites.

Fascism On Film - Episode 4 - Le Petit Soldat

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Welcome to the fourth episode of our new and ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers discuss the Jean-Luc Godard film Le Petit Soldat. After helping start the French New Wave with his influential film Breathless (À bout de souffle), Godard was set to make this his second film in 1960. But due to censorship and its provocative look at the French-Algerian War plus scenes of torture, it was not released in cinemas until 1963. The film is set in Geneva, Switzerland and it has the Algerian War happening in the background. Actress Anna Karina worked with Jean-Luc Godard for the first time on this project. They had a bit of tumultuous relationship and were together for four years. The two of them made a bunch of films together. Pierrot Le Fou being their most memorable project amongst film fans and critics.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.

Fascism On Film - Episode 3 - The Ascent

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 11:39:55 GMT

Welcome to the third episode of our new and ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers discuss the Larisa Shepitko film from 1977, The Ascent. The film is set in battle torn, and cold, Belorussia during the Second World War. Two partisan soldiers venture out into the cold and desolate world of the film to find food for their group. Along the way, they battle the Germans, the harsh and freezing landscape and their own psyches. Larisa Shepitko was awarded the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, the second female filmmaker to win that award. It proved sadly to be her final film. In 1979, Larisa died in a car accident while working on what would have been her next film Farewell. Her husband and filmmaker Elem Klimov finished the film. As we do go into spoiler territory, we advise you to see the film first before listening to the episode. You can find it available on the Criterion Channel for example.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.

The Movies And Me - Episode 7 - Chris Geier

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 20:51:55 GMT

Welcome to the seventh episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.

On this episode, we are delighted to chat with a friend of Adam's, Chris Geier. Chris is a fan/friend of the podcast. He is a former journalist and an author. His novella Silt is available to purchase and read. It can be found on his publisher's website Alternating Current Press. The plot of Silt is: "Cincinnati, 1856. German immigrant Werner Bosenbach has a part-time job collecting shady debts and a full-time drinking habit. When he is hired by a wealthy widow to hunt down those responsible for her husband’s death, Werner is drawn deep into a city bursting with corruption, nativism, and long-simmering racial tension. From violent dock workers and crooked marshals, to operators of the underground railroad and the slave hunters they oppose, Werner must navigate the dangers and divisions of his adopted home to find some answers and, with any luck, some lager." Fans of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Cormac McCarthy should check it out.

We really enjoyed having Chris Geier on the podcast and talking to him about the four favourite films of his that he picked. If you haven't seen them, you should check them out. It was a very fun conversation.

Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US, Finland & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV for example. You can read a review about the film on Collider.

Welcome to the second episode of our new and ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers head back to Italy during the time of the Second World War to discuss the Franco Zeffirelli's 1999 film Tea With Mussolini. It stars Cher, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Lily Tomlin and Joan Plowright. The film is a semi-autobiographical tale about a young orphaned boy left to be raised by old English and American lady expats living in Italy. The film shows the events of Italy before and during the war through the eyes of the boy Luca (played by Baird Wallace as a teenager and Charlie Lucas as a boy) who is brought up by these ladies.

Fascism On Film - Episode 1 - Rogue One & Andor

Fri, 13 Jun 2025 07:00:00 GMT

Welcome to a new podcast series from the Holmes Movies Podcast titled: Fascism On Film! Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.

On the first Fascism On Film episode Anders & Adam Holmes head back to a galaxy, far, far away to discuss Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and its Disney + prequel series Andor. Rogue One was released in 2016 and was a prequel to a New Hope. It showed how the Rebel Alliance stole the plans for the Death Star, which leads into the events of Star Wars: A New Hope. It stars an all star cast including Diego Luna who plays Cassian Andor. He would get his own series in the form of Andor which is set five years before the events of Rogue One. It looks at the origin story of Cassian and it shows what makes him the man we see in Rogue One. Andor also looks at the machinations and inner workings of the Galactic Empire and the beginnings and formation of the Rebel Alliance. It also has an all star cast which includes Stellan Skarsgård. Tony Gilroy who co-wrote Rogue One and oversaw reshoots on that film was the head writer and showrunner on Andor. A very grounded and realistic Star Wars show that tackles some very heavy themes.

We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.

Trilogies - Episode 14 - Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy

Tue, 27 May 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Welcome to another Trilogies episode where Anders & Adam Holmes move (briefly) away from a Galaxy, Far, Far, Away to war torn Italy.

This episode we look at Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy. Roberto Rossellini (father of Isabella Rossellini, plus ex-father in law to Martin Scorsese) was one of the most prominent directors of Italian Neo-Realist Cinema. A film movement where its stories focused mainly on the poor and working class. Films about everyday life, poverty and oppression. Films shot on location and used primarily non-classically trained actors. Actors basically picked off the street essentially. The Bicycle Thieves is a perfect example of Italian Neo-Realism. The movement influenced French New Wave for example. Along with Rossellini, other Italian filmmakers like Vittorio De Sica and Luchino Visconti popularised this very influential film movement.

Rossellini's Neo-Realist War Trilogy started with Rome, Open City (1945), Paisan (1946) and concluded with Germany Year Zero (1948). Some of the first post-war films made in Italy and films that helped shape Italian Neo-Realism. Rome, Open City has a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is part of the Vatican's Important Films list. It's listed under the category Values.

We hope you like this episode and stay tuned for more Trilogies episode. We will be putting a pause on our Trilogies series and moving onto another series of episodes we have in the works: Fascism On Film. The first episode of that series will be on Andor & Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Stay tuned for that and for more episodes of The Movies And Me.

Trilogies - Episode 13 - Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy

Sun, 04 May 2025 08:00:00 GMT

"May the Force Be With You," and also May The 4th Be With You.

The Holmes Brothers head back to the world of Star Wars to review The Prequel Trilogy. We're back with another Trilogies episode. The films in the trilogy include Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). Revenge of the Sith is currently being re-released in select cinemas to coincide with its twenty year anniversary.

Before the rights of LucasFilm and the world of Star Wars were sold to Disney, George Lucas came back to finish the Star Wars saga with the Prequels. Whether you like the films or not, cinema and visual effects technology caught up with Lucas's vision and he was able to tell the full story in the way that he envisioned. He could finally show Podracers, Gungans, the planet Coruscant and also show how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader. There was a lot of hype and expectations around these films. Back in 1999 before the release of Episode I, people would buy tickets to other films just to see the trailer and then leave. This is way before YouTube.

Today there has been a slight reappraisal of the films from some corners of cinema fans and lovers of all things Star Wars, compared to the critical bashing they all got during their original releases from fans, filmmakers and critics. The films were not as popular as the Original Trilogy. They did not receive the same love and acclaim at the time and a lot of the criticisms the films got were due to the writing, storytelling, characterisation and sometimes the VFX.

Now many years later, where do you think we land on the films? Listen to the episode and find out.

We hope you like this episode and stay tuned for more Trilogies episode. The next episode will be on The War Trilogy, directed by Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini.

The Movies And Me - Episode 6 - Edward Carson

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 19:02:12 GMT

Welcome to the sixth episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.

On this episode, we are delighted to chat with a friend of Adam's, Edward Carson. Edward Carson is a scholar, an educator and activist. On his website, it says that Edward Carson 'teaches seminars on African American Studies, Race, Class, Gender, American Jesus, and Black Christianity.' A dean and historian who teaches about race and religion in America's 20th Century. Edward also currently hosts a podcast called Race Matters. The podcast Race Matters examines the nomenclature of race, class, gender, and culture and how they intersect with past historical phenomena and present narratives. Race Matters seeks to discuss the critical nature of how we talk about race and our moral obligation to confront it. You can also listen to the podcast here on SoundCloud and watch episodes on YouTube.

Trilogies - Episode 12 - The Indiana Jones Trilogy

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 08:00:00 GMT

“It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage."

Back after a mini hiatus due to film work commitments, Anders & Adam Holmes are back with a new trilogies episode!

On this episode, the Holmes Brothers head on a globe trotting exploration into the unknown and search for the ethereal mysteries of the world. This episode they look at the first three Indiana Jones films starring Harrison Ford as the famous archaeologist and part time teacher. They discuss and analyse the three films (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom & The Last Crusade), their impact on action-adventure cinema and also the films notable flaws in regards to its portrayal of foreign cultures and people. An aspect of the film that has probably not aged very well, yet the films are still enjoyable in our opinion. Temple Of Doom not so much... but they get to that.

We hope you like this episode and stay tuned for more.

Trilogies - Episode 11 - John Ford's The Cavalry Trilogy

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 12:50:40 GMT

"Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness."

We know we're quite a ways into 2025, but Happy New Year everyone. Anders & Adam Holmes are back with a new trilogies episode! On this episode, the Holmes Brothers hop on their horses and ride out west to Monument Valley. They again discuss and analyse three favourite westerns from their childhood, two of which they saw a lot on VHS (remember those?). The movie trilogy they are looking at on this episode is: John Ford's The Cavalry Trilogy. It includes Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) and Rio Grande (1950).

All three films star John Wayne and feature regular members of Ford's acting troupe like Henry Fonda, John Agar, Harry Carey Jr, Ben Johnson, George O'Brien and Victor McLaglen. John Ford was very much in his mythical period when making these westerns.

We hope you like this episode and do check out the films, if you have or haven't seen it.

Trilogies - Episode 10 - Die Hard

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 08:00:00 GMT

"Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho."

Yippee-ki-yay, motherf-ers, welcome to the party pals and Merry Christmas to one and all! The Holmes Movies Podcast crew are here with another Trilogies episode. A Yuletide themed episode just in time for the holidays. On this episode, Anders & Adam Holmes discuss the first three original films in the Die Hard franchise. The film that started it all Die Hard, then its 1990 sequel Die Hard 2: Die Harder and finally the 1995 threequel starring Samuel L. Jackson Die Hard: With A Vengeance.

The first Die Hard is one of the best action films of all time that helped define the action genre of the 1980s. An influential and well crafted film from director John McTiernan, it not only was a huge box office success but it propelled Bruce Willis from TV actor to movie star. And it also introduced the world to Alan Rickman who got his big break playing the brilliant villain Hans Gruber. Bruce Willis played John McClane, a wise cracking New York police officer who is the textbook definition of the wrong guy, in the wrong place at the wrong time and who is caught in a real towering inferno of explosions, gunfights and surviving death defying stunts. From sunny California, to snowy windy Washington DC and to the hustle and bustle of New York City, there is nothing he can't handle.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. Be safe out there.

Welcome to the fifth episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.

On this episode, we are delighted to chat with a friend of Adam's, Kate Senecal. Kate works as a writing coach, developmental editor, teacher and a writing group facilitator. She resides and is based in Western Massachusetts. Kate works with all kinds writers ranging from short story writers, novelists, screenwriters and playwrights. What she does and coaches in, for example, is helping writers maintain a consistent writing habit, helping others find a community of writers, becoming better self-editors and developing craft technique for writers to take their stories further. She provides one on one coaching sessions in person or on Zoom and there is an opportunity to workshops ideas with other groups of writers. There is also something she offers to writers which is called Book Buddies which you can read about here.

Noirvember Special - 2024

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 14:10:35 GMT

Welcome to our second Noirvember Special, the last time we did an episode where we discussed Film Noir as a whole was back in 2020. The episode can be listened to here on Apple Podcasts.

On this smoky and hardboiled episode, Anders & Adam Holmes are joined by the great and legendary Richard Bruno to discuss the roots of Film Noir, it's literary and filmic influences, the films that define film noir plus its actors, filmmakers and also try to answer the burning question surrounding Noir: Is Noir a filmmaking style? Or is Noir a film genre itself? Friend of the podcast Richard Bruno returns for a second time as a guest, having already been a guest on our Movies And Me episode that features him.

A lot of films on this episode are mentioned by all three of us, all are Film Noir classics and we all recommend them. So do keep your ears peeled and list them as we go. In case you haven't seen any of the films before.

In keeping with the Noir theme, feel free to also check out Anders & Adam's previous episode on the Un-Official Philip Marlowe Trilogy.

Trilogies - Episode 9 - The Philip Marlowe Trilogy

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 23:02:46 GMT

What d'ya hear? What d'ya say?

Welcome to our 9th Trilogies episode, Film Noir edition. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at The Dark Knight Trilogy from Christopher Nolan. We are getting the podcast back on track after a few weeks/months away.

As it is November aka Noirvember, we thought we would have a Film Noir themed episode. This trilogies episode is a little different from the rest. We of course will be looking at three films, but we're making our own trilogy. The films we will discuss are not connected per se as in Film 1, 2 and 3. No, they stand alone films though they are connected by a single character. That character is Detective Philip Marlowe, a private investigator created by author Raymond Chandler. Along with Dashiell Hammett and James M. Cain, Chandler was one of the great writers of pulp hard-boiled detective crime fiction.

The films we will be discussing are some of our favourites. Murder My Sweet (1944) directed by Edward Dmytryk, The Big Sleep (1946) directed by Howard Hawks and The Long Goodbye (1973) directed by Robert Altman. Each film depicts Los Angeles in a different style, tone and, in Altman's case, time period. More importantly, they interpret Marlowe in their own unique way and as well as the source material. Dick Powell, Humphrey Bogart and Elliott Gould all bring something different and new for their performances as Philip Marlowe.

We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.

Trilogies - Episode 8 - The Dark Knight Trilogy

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 07:00:38 GMT

Welcome to the 8th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at The Apu Trilogy directed by Satyajit Ray. This episode we are looking at comic book movie cinema. The main subject of this trilogy just had their 85th birthday. Batman himself created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. This episode we discuss and review The Dark Knight Trilogy: Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Each starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman and directed by Christopher Nolan.

After Batman & Robin bombed critically and earned a modest intake at the box office, the Batman franchise lay dormant for a while. Films like a fifth Batman film set to have George Clooney return as Batman was cancelled, along with a Batman: Year One adaptation. Christopher Nolan fresh off the indie success of Following, Memento and also Insomnia, his first big studio film, was tasked to bring the character back to life. His take on the Batman mythos was a lot more grounded in realism and more character based and less of the Toyetic films Joel Schumacher were directing last time.

Nolan's three Batman films are some of the best and influential superhero films of all time and he really shows you how its done. He tells a great and moving cinematic tale over three films and finishes the trilogy (mostly) in a satisfying way. You can find The Dark Knight trilogy to stream on Max and you can also find it on DVD/Blu-Ray.

We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.

During the podcast we talk about this man: comic creator and writer Bill Finger. Bill Finger for a long time was not credited for co-creating Batman while Bob Kane received sole credit. He was a key figure in creating that character and actually had a lot of substantial input into bringing Batman to life. You can learn more about his story in the documentary Batman & Bill. You can see the trailer here.

Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV. You can read a review about the film on Collider.

Trilogies - Episode 7 - The Apu Trilogy

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 14:55:18 GMT

Welcome to the 7th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at the Back To The Future Trilogy. We are changing things up on these Trilogy episodes just slightly and we are going to be talking about our first non-American/Hollywood trilogy. This episode we will be taking you to the Bengal region of India to discuss and review the classic and influential trilogy: The Apu Trilogy directed by Satyajit Ray. One of the most influential filmmakers of all time. The films include Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Aparajito (The Unvanquished), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) and they are based on two books written by Bibhutibhusan Banerjee. The films were shot over the course of five years with the same crew members. Pather Panchali was Ray's directorial debut.

On this episode, we do go into detail on these classic pieces of cinema from India, films very much inspired by Italian Neo-Realism and majority of the films have non-classically trained actors. We recommend you watch the films first before listening to this episode, if you haven't watched them already. We do go into spoilers. They are available on Blu-Ray and also on The Criterion Channel.

We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.

We will be returning back to our usual programming after taking it a bit easy this summer. So stay tuned for more episodes, like Liam & Noel Gallagher: we're back!

Trilogies - Episode 6 - Back To The Future

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 15:19:01 GMT

Welcome to the 6th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at the original three films in The Bourne Trilogy starring Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. On this episode, we look back in time at one of other favourite family films. We are looking at the Back To The Future trilogy. All three films are directed by Robert Zemeckis, a film that can be considered as his big break. It stars Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd as Marty McFly and Doc Brown. The first film was released in 1985. The following two sequels, Back To The Future Parts 2 and 3 were filmed back to back and were released in 1989 and 1990.

This maybe the first time in this series where we have talked about a complete trilogy that does not continue after its conclusion. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have made it known that Back To The Future will never be remade in their lifetime. Let's hope they stay alive for a long time. This trilogy perfectly encapsulates the 80s and are hallmarks of that decade that filmmaker Quentin Tarantino doesn't think too highly of. They also capture Ronald Reagan's America very well and all three films are timeless bits of entertainment with great and moving scenes with quotable bits of dialogue and amazing effects.

We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.

Trilogies - Episode 5 - The Bourne Trilogy

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 13:21:53 GMT

Welcome to the 5th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at Jack Ryan Trilogy both starring Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford as the titular character. On this episode, we look back at another espionage film franchise which is little bit of the opposite of the world seen in the Jack Ryan films. Something that is a little more dark, mysterious, dangerous and not as black and white. A world that is grey. We are going to be looking at the original Bourne Trilogy. The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and finally The Bourne Ultimatum.

Before the studio heads decided to try and milk these films with a not so well received spin-off sidequel starring Jeremy Renner and then resorting to bring back Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in 2016, the original three Bourne Films really defined action cinema in the early to mid 2000s. Highly influential in regards its bleak and nuanced look at the US Government and Special Intelligence agencies, plus it's stylistic and visual approach to action cinematography. Shaky Cam was born with these films.

We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.

The Movies And Me - Episode 4 - William Darbyshire

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 09:46:06 GMT

Welcome to the fourth episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.

On this episode, we are delighted to chat with filmmaker William Darbyshire, Anders's old friend from Met Film School in London. After graduating from Met Film School in 2013, Will started making films for his YouTube channel. He has earned quite a large following with amassing over 615,000 subscribers. The work that he did through his channel showcased unique and profound views on travel, relationships and mental health.

In 2016, Will reached out to his followers to send him their intimate thoughts about their relationship experiences, in the form of written letters, poems, photographs, and emails. The book, This Modern Love, is a collection of love and heartache from Will's followers. It was a Sunday Times bestseller and sold over 100,000 copies. A follow up book to This Modern Love is in the making. If you follow Will on his social media platforms like Instagram or Twitter, you can find info on it there. And also where to send in submissions to have it possibly be featured in the book. In Will's words if you have something to get off your chest and have it be considered for the next instalment, simply write a letter that you would want to send to your crush or your ex and email it to the email inbox: submissions@thismodern.love. It can take on the form of whatever you feel is best to express yourself, all you have to do is provide your first name, age and location. Will still keeps up with his filmmaking and is currently writing and developing short and feature film ideas. His recent short film Cycles has just had a successful film festival run.

We had so much fun talking to Will about his career and hearing what his four favourite films are. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Trilogies - Episode 4 - The Jack Ryan Trilogy

Sat, 08 Jun 2024 14:14:11 GMT

Welcome to the 4th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at The Dollars Trilogy from Sergio Leone. On this episode, we look back at some favourites from our childhood that we watched quite a bit on VHS. We are going to be looking at the original Jack Ryan trilogy that consists of The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger that starred Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. The main character created by thriller author Tom Clancy who appeared in multiple books by the author.

The three early Jack Ryan films were seminal thrillers of the early to mid 90s. Proper Dad thrillers. Fun and memorable films with excellent all star casts that included actors such as Sean Connery, Sam Neill, Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, Scott Glenn, Fred Thompson, Sean Bean and Anne Archer. All three films are well directed by directors who understood the action and thriller genres: John McTiernan and Phillip Noyce. There's always some political and spy intrigue in these films plus some good action.

Trilogies - Episode 3 - The Dollars Trilogy

Sat, 11 May 2024 12:29:39 GMT

Welcome to the 3rd episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at the Toy Story trilogy (excluding 2019's Toy Story 4). On this episode, we are looking back at a influential trilogy of films. Three Spaghetti Westerns from Italy. Being die hard fans of Westerns, we just had to talk about these films. Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone certainly was a tremendous and influential filmmaker. A remarkable visual storyteller and who has influenced the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Alex Cox for example.

This episode we will be looking at Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy, which includes A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. These films made a star out of Clint Eastwood, whose The Man With No Name character has been a staple of the Western genre and cinema itself, and he was an actor most famous for the TV show Rawhide and B-Movies. We look at the impact the Dollars Trilogy and the Spaghetti Western genre as a whole has had on cinema and what makes these types of films so great and fun to watch. Plus we get to discuss the scores that Ennio Morricone composed for each of these films.

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 12:51:52 GMT

Welcome to our 2nd episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at the original Star Wars trilogy. On this episode, we are looking back at another childhood favourite of ours. This episode we will be looking at the original Toy Story trilogy from Pixar Animation Studios. We will not be discussing the 4th film from 2019, which Adam has not seen and probably will never see. The Toy Story films and story, for him, ended with 2010's Toy Story 3. As we did with our last episode, we discuss our favourites and least favourites of the three, who our favourite characters are and also we talk about what makes Pixars such an influential and brilliant company and why the majority of their films work so well with audiences.

Top 10 Films of the 1920s

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 17:23:18 GMT

Welcome to our 27th Top 10 Episode where Anders & Adam Holmes list their top 10 favourite films of the 1920s.

To close off this round/season of top 10 episodes, the Holmes Brothers have been going back and looking at each decade of cinema and listing their 10 favourite films of each decade (we won't be doing an episode of the 1910s).

On this final episode, they are going to be looking at the 1920s.

The 1920s was the silent movie era. Sound films, talkies, would dominate cinema in the next decade after the first talkie The Jazz Singer was released in 1927. There was a vast expansion of Hollywood movie making. Actors like Buster Keaton, Lillian Gish and Charlie Chaplin were household names. Romantic comedies, adventure films and horror were popular genres of this decade. German Expressionism and Soviet Montage Editing stylistically and aesthetically influenced and inspired films for years to come. A very artistic and surreal approach to filmmaking was happening over the Atlantic in Europe. Where will films like Nosferatu, The Battleship Potemkin and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari end up on their respected lists? Follow here to find out.

We hope you have been enjoying these Top 10 Episodes. Stay Tuned for what we have got planned.

Alternative Oscars - Episode 14 - 83rd Academy Awards

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 18:50:46 GMT

This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 83rd Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 2010. It was held February 11th 2011 at the Kodak Theatre. Tom Hooper's The King's Speech was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won 4, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a leading role. It was also the second year in a row where the Oscars were being hosted by two hosts. It wasn't Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin who hosted the previous year, but it was Anne Hathaway and James Franco who had the honour to host the event together. This was a way to bring in the young crowd and boost the ratings up. Given the negative responses the ceremony got, they did not do such a good job with Anne Hathaway doing much of the heavy lifting. The night was also memorable for Melissa Leo dropping a surprise F-bomb, a first for an Oscars event.

The Movies And Me - Episode 1 - Callum Burn

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:38:29 GMT

Welcome to the first episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.

On this first episode, Anders and Adam Holmes sit down with a bonafide and talented filmmaker Callum Burn, Anders's old Met Film School friend, and talk about his new feature film Battle Over Britain. A low budget Second World War film about a group of exhausted Spitfire pilots fighting to the last man/pilot during the Battle Of Britain. A film that Anders worked on last year as a sound recordist and boom operator.

Since finishing film school ten years ago, Callum and his father Andrew Burn have started their own independent production company Tin Hat Productions and already have two feature films under their belt, Lancaster Skies and Spitfire Over Berlin, and with plenty more in development. We talk about Battle Over Britain, the limitations and process of making a big scale film on a small budget and the four (or five films) that have inspired Callum to aspire to be a director.

The film premiere's in select UK cinemas on December 1st.

Check out the website for info about the film and cinema listings. And also here is the website for Tin Hat Productions.

You can follow Battle Over Britain on Facebook.

Battle Over Britain is available on DVD & Blu-Ray next year on January 29th, you can pre-order the film now on Amazon.

You can follow Callum, Battle Over Britain and Tin Hat Productions on Instagram.

Be sure to check out the film when it is available and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Top 10 Films of the 1930s

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 16:23:10 GMT

Welcome to our 26th Top 10 Episode where Anders & Adam Holmes list their top 10 favourite films of the 1930s.

To round off this season of top 10 episodes, the Holmes Brothers will be going back and looking at each decade of cinema and listing their 10 favourite films of each decade.

This episode, they are going to be looking at the 1930s.

During the 1930s, sound films, talkies, dominated cinema and were a phenomenon. Silent films were very much a thing of the past. The 30s was the golden age of Hollywood and 1939 is considered one of the best years of cinema. The studio system was at its highest and The Hays Code was in full affect. Musicals, monster horror films, swashbuckling epics and even westerns were very popular. Escapist cinema at its best. It was also the decade of The Great Depression, the rise of fascist political movements and Europe was still dealing with the fallout of World War One. Where will films like The Lady Vanishes, 42nd Street, Stagecoach, La Grande Illusion and The Women land on their lists? Listen here to find out.

We hope you enjoy it and we hope you come back for more. On the next and last Top 10 episode, it's going to be about the 1920s and each of their 10 favourite films from that period. So stay tuned for that.
