Holmes Movies

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.

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.

"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.Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel, the famous location is featured briefly in one of the films.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws, The films is a available to watch in America , parts of Scandinavia (e.g. Denmark, Finland) & the United Kingdom on Amazon and also Apple TV.

“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.

"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. 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.

"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.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.

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.

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.Stay Tuned for more!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.

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.Stay Tuned for more!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.

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.Stay Tuned for more!We will be returning back to our usual programming after taking it a bit easy this summer.

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.Stay Tuned for more!We will be returning back to our usual programming after taking it a bit easy this summer.

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. Stay Tuned for more!As it is the summer, we are on a mini hiatus. So there won't be that many episodes out during the next couple of months. But do check out what we have recorded already.

Welcome to the fourth episode of The Movies And Me, a new podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down and talk with a filmmaker or someone who works in the film industry about their newest and latest film project or just a big cinephile in general who just lives for movies. We also ask about and discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film or just at the very least inspire them.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.

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

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

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.

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.
