In this episode of the 'It's Tom-plicated: Tom Holland Film Podcast,' hosts⁠⁠ ⁠Alex Marcus⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠ ⁠Manish Mathur⁠⁠⁠ analyze the 2016 family thriller Edge of Winter directed by Rob Connolly! This film follows a teenage Tom Holland and his younger brother, played by Percy Hynes White, as they are forced to survive a snow storm in the woods with their increasingly unhinged, estranged father (Joel Kinnaman)!

Alex and Manish deep dive on this forgotten Canadian thriller, including how both young performers managed an underdeveloped screenplay and Joel Kinnanman struggled to navigate a tricky performance under the watchful eye of a first time director. They also get into ways in which this film could have been saved and whether or not we should reasonably call this a good use of Tom.

In two weeks, the podcast travel deep into the Amazon rain forest, as Tom Holland once again tackles daddy issues while venturing into the great outdoors, with James Gray’s modern art house classic The Lost City of Z!
