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 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. 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 and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The film is now available to watch in the other Nordic territories like Sweden, Oslo and of course Denmark. If you live in Denmark, you can watch the movie here on Apple TV by clicking this link.

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.

"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.

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

"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. 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.

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. Follow us on our Instagram page.

"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.

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.

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. 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. 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. 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.

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

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. We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast. The Fascism On Film series will continue with the Rainer Werner Fassbinder film: The Marriage of Maria Braun. Subscribe and follow the podcast and stay tuned for that. You can listen to Anders Holmes review the Paul W.S. Anderson film Event Horizon here. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel. Follow us on our Instagram page.

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.

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

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.

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.
