In this episode of the 'It's Tom-plicated: Tom Holland Film Podcast,' hosts Alex Marcus and Manish Mathur analyze the 2015 action adventure film In the Heart of the Sea directed by Ron Howard! Featuring an ensemble cast including Chris Hemsworth, Ben Walker, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw, Tom Holland, Brendan Gleason, and Michelle Fairley, the movie is the origin story of Moby Dick. The Herman Melville stans can rejoice!
Alex and Manish are joined by Ben Miller to dive into this movie, its structure, performances, and visual effects. Though not a well-remembered movie, should it be remembered as a forgotten classic? They also discuss the role the movie played into Tom Holland’s role in the MCU and whether or not Tom’s supporting role was a needed boost for his future.
In two weeks, the podcast will finally get to Tom Holland's biggest task yet: debuting in Hollywood’s biggest franchise as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War!
