Holmes Movies Podcast Anders Holmes

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.
We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing. Stay Tuned for more!

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.

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 recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked.
This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 22nd Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1949. It was held March 23rd 1950 at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by actor Paul Douglas. The Heiress was the film with the most nominations, nominated for 8 Oscars and won 4 of them. Joseph L Mankiewicz won Best Director and Best Screenplay for A Letter to Three Wives. He would win those awards again the following year for All About Eve. But out of the films released that year, which ones deserved to win and/or get nominated? Listen here and find out who we would've picked.

Episode Note: We just had to re-upload this episode again. There were audio issues due to a editing mistake in the export. We're sorry for the inconvenience and it should be fixed now.
Welcome to the second episode of The Movies And Me, a new podcast project of ours where each episode 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 second episode, Anders and Adam Holmes sit down with a bonafide and well read cinephile: the legendary and one of New York City's greatest treasures Richard Bruno, the greatest cinephile we know. Richard is a good family friend of Adam and his wife Lily Foster. It was an absolute pleasure to talk with him about how his love of film came about and he takes the Holmes Brothers on a real history tour about how television and movie houses played a part in Richard's life and his growin admiration and fascination with the world of film and basically cinephile.

This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 87th Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 2014. It was held February 22nd 2015 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by Barney Stinson himself Neil Patrick Harris. It was an event that was marred by slight controversy after the nominations were announced. The hashtags #OscarsSoWhite and #WhiteOscars circulated around the internet after that. This was an Oscars event we wanted to look at and change somethings, as we did not agree with certain films getting nominated and others that did not. It was the year of Birdman Vs Boyhood. Listen to the episode and find out how we would've done things.
