Episode 227 - Young Sherlock Holmes - Geek Commentary

Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, all wonderful actors who have given unique portrayals of Arthur Conan Doyle's famed detective Sherlock Holmes. However, if you're a child of the 80s like Carlos and the Steves, you have to add Nicholas Rowe to that list of definitive Sherlocks. On today's GeekFest Rants our intrepid trio sets their sights on the woefully underrated Young Sherlock Holmes, directed by Barry Levinson (!) and written by Chris Columbus (!!) Steve V. is convinced Columbus was sowing the seeds of his eventual job as director of the first two Harry Potter films here. See if you agree with Steve!
