  Anders Reviews. . .Green Room

  Oct 4, 202627 min

  Hello! Anders Holmes is back with a new solo Anders Reviews. . . episode. Spooky Season is now in session, summer is over, the days are getting shorter and colder. It is the perfect time of the year to sit down and watch a horror film or two. Or many if you're a big horror nut, like Anders. On this episode, Anders reviews and discusses Jeremy Saulnier's brilliant 2015 film: Green Room. Starring Imogen Poots, Sir Patrick Stewart and Anton Yelchin, in one of his last films roles before his tragic death in 2016. Green Room is Saulnier's intense and great follow-up to his magnificent revenge thriller Blue Ruin. Much like Blue Ruin, Green Room is a unique and subversive film, that represents the singular and gritty style of Jeremy Saulnier. Anton Yelchin's Pat is the bass player for a unknown punk band called the Ain't Rights. While struggling to find paid gigs on their badly planned tour, the Ain't Rights are given an offer for a gig at a Neo-Nazi skinhead club owned bar. It is located outside Portland, Oregon. After playing the gig, the band witness a brutal and vicious murder. They take shelter in the bar's green room, while the members of the Neo-Nazi skinhead group, led by Patrick Stewart's Darcy, try to break in and kill them all. It becomes a desperate and panic riddled fight for survival for the hapless members of the Ain't Rights. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel .

  Fascism On Film - Episode 18 - Alphaville

  Sep 30, 20261h 7m

  Welcome to the eighteenth 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 sit down to discuss Jean-Luc Godard's sci fi tech noir film Alphaville, starring Eddie Constantine, Anna Karina and Akim Tamiroff. The film was released in 1965 and is something we would consider to be some of Godard's best work. It showcases the strengths and also some of the weaknesses of the iconic French New Wave filmmaker. Eddie Constantine plays the character of Lemmy Caution, a character created by English author Peter Cheyney. The character featured in many of Cheyney's books as an FBI Agent and then as a private detective. Lemmy travels to the futuristic city of Alphaville. He is a private-eye posing as a journalist. His mission is to find the missing agent Henry Dickson and to convince a Professor von Braun to come with him. The professor is actually Leonard Nosferatu and he has created a powerful computer/AI called Alpha 60. Alpha 60 has conceived the inhuman dystopian society of Alphaville. Aspects like love, conscience, poetry and even human emotion have been banished and words are systematically eliminated from the dictionary. Lemmy is assisted by Natacha von Braun, the professor's daughter. Despite Lemmy falling in love with Natacha, he is still steadfast on completing his mission in Alphaville. 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 .

  Episode #243

  Anders Reviews. . .The Psycho Franchise

  Sep 27, 202659 min

  Hello! Anders Holmes is back with a new solo Anders Reviews. . . episode. Spooky Season is now in session, summer is over, the days are getting shorter and colder. It is the perfect time of the year to sit down and watch a horror film or two. Or many if you're a big horror nut, like Anders. On this episode, Anders reviews and discusses Sir Alfred Hitchcock's classic and influential film from 1960: Psycho. Much like Peeping Tom released earlier that year, Psycho was one of those thrillers/horror films that helped lay the groundwork for what would become the slasher genre. John Carpenter's Halloween, for instance, owes a lot to Psycho. Along with talking about how Psycho was a tremendous film that left an enduring mark on cinema, Anders looks at the three sequels featuring Anthony Perkins's classic character Norman Bates. And the 1998 Psycho remake that was directed by Gus Van Sant. An almost shot-for-shot remake of the Hitchcock film. It uses the same Joseph Stefano screenplay and the same shot compositions. A truly cinematic experiment gone wrong. Nevertheless, the original Psycho was a groundbreaking film that subverted expectations and challenged the restrictions of the time, laid down by the Hays Code. A very taboo breaking film. Subscribe to the podcast and stay tuned for more horror themed solo episodes from Anders. The next one will be on the Psycho Franchise. 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.

  Fascism On Film - Episode 17 - Black Legion

  Sep 23, 20261h 1m

  Welcome to the seventinth 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 sit down to discuss Archie Mayo's film Black Legion, starring one of their favourite actors Humphrey Bogart. This was in the early days of Bogart's career, and he wouldn't blow up as an actor and as a movie star until 1941 with High Sierra. He reunites with Archie Mayo who directed him in The Petrified Forest, for this hard-hitting drama set in the Midwestern parts of the United States. Frank Taylor (Bogart) is a blue collar factory worker who is expecting a promotion any day now. When he is passed over for a younger Polish immigrant, it takes a toll on Frank. He becomes bitter and mean. He is influenced to join a secret hate group called the Black Legion. Being part of the group alienates everyone from Frank. His family and friends. It all builds to a tragic conclusion. The Black Legion were a faction of the Klu Klux Klan. They were active in the 1920s and 1930s, they grew to prominence in the Great Depression. The film is based on the real life kidnapping and murder of a Work Progress Administration organiser: Charles S. Poole.

On this episode, Anders reviews and discusses one of the most popular and iconic horror franchises of all time: The Evil Dead Franchise. The first Evil Dead is the ultimate cabin in the woods film that has influenced numerous filmmakers, writers and special effects artists over the years. The brainchild of Sam Raimi, who arrived on the filmmaking scene with this raw and no-holds barred bloody masterpiece. Raimi has remained with the franchise. He directed and co-wrote Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn and Army of Darkness. After the original trilogy was completed a remake was released in 2013. In 2023, a new addition to the franchise was released: Evil Dead Rise. The latest Evil Dead film, Evil Dead Burn, was released into cinemas earlier this year. And Evil Dead Wrath is on the way in 2028. The Evil Dead films introduced the world to Bruce Campbell, who played the great character of Ash. A relatable everyman hero/anti-hero, who finds himself caught in a hellish situation. Often because of his own making. A groovy horror franchise indeed.
