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.

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.

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.

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. Stay Tuned for more!
