In this special episode, Spencer sits down with writer, critic, and now feature filmmaker Joseph Holmes to talk about the release of his very first movie, Jim vs The Future, which is officially out and available to watch now.

Joseph walks through the journey of bringing his debut feature to life—from the earliest ideas, to the challenges of independent production, to the joy (and terror) of finally sharing a film with the world. Spencer and Joseph dive into how the story was shaped, what the filmmaking process taught him, and why he felt compelled to make a movie that tackles faith, doubt, and destiny through a fresh, creative lens.

They also explore Joseph’s broader work as a cultural commentator, how he balances Christian conviction with honest storytelling, and why he believes bold, thoughtful art is needed more now than ever.

Whether you’re a filmmaker, a creative, or simply someone who loves a good underdog story, this episode spotlights the heart, grit, and faith required to make a first feature film.
