The Holiday Season podcast returns on 22 December with a series of special episodes to celebrate the 15th anniversary of a film that has become a cult classic: The Holiday.
From the same husband-and-wife team as 90 Minutes or Less Film Fest, The Holiday Season is a loving and detailed tribute to writer-director Nancy Meyers’ 2006 Christmas classic, The Holiday.
Written and produced by Sam Clements and Louise Owen, with music by Martin Austwick, The Holiday Season returns each Christmas with episodes that dive deep into the facts and fictions of the film.
This Christmas, Sam will host three episodes featuring new interviews from leading man Jude Law (Graham), as well as supporting cast members Miffy Englefield (Sophie), Sarah Flind (Market Clerk), and Nicholas Downs (Peter), along with an episode dedicated to Director Nancy Meyers featuring a new interview with Meyers herself.
Previous episodes of The Holiday Season have delved into the “reality” of the film, visited Surrey to find the UK filming locations, looked at the origins of the movie, structure of the screenplay and the practicalities of the winter effects. Previous guests include Deborah Jermyn (author of Nancy Meyers – The Bloomsbury Companions To Contemporary Filmmakers, snow supervisor Darcey Crownshaw, location manager Benjamin Greenacre, freelance script editor Becky Brynolf, and The Telegraph’s chief film critic Robbie Collin.
The first episode of this 3-part season ‘Actors | The Holiday Season #5’ is out on 22 December, with the episodes ‘Jude Law | The Holiday Season #6’ and ‘Nancy Meyers Again | The Holiday Season #7’ released over the Christmas period.
The Holiday Season is available on most podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple.
