Sol Harris
Other namesSeñor Sevens[1]

Sol Harris is a producer, director, writer and podcaster.[2][3] He is host of the film podcast "Diminishing Returns".[4]

Writing

Harris worked with director, Oz Arshad, to develop the story and create the characters featured in Finding Fatimah before Arshad wrote the screenplay.[5]

Starting in 2017, Harris became a regular contributor to Starburst magazine.[6] He has previously written about film and TV for the website WhatCulture.[7]

Diminishing Returns podcast

In 2016, Harris launched the weekly film podcast, "Diminishing Returns", with co-hosts Calvin Dyson and Allen Turing.[8] The show sees the hosts reviewing a film before pitching their own ideas for what the sequel should be.[9][10]

The show was inspired by Dyson's webseries, "My Weekly Bond", in which he reviewed one James Bond film a week.[11] As friends and film-fans, Dyson had pushed Harris to watch the James Bond series, with Harris generally being unimpressed. They decided to build a podcast around their resulting discussions,[12] with the podcast repeatedly returning to the James Bond franchise as a result.[13]

It has placed as highly as #3 in the UK TV & Film iTunes podcast chart.[14]

The Simpsons

Sol achieved notoriety as a die-hard fan of The Simpsons after a chart he produced, showcasing the show's perceived decline, became popular.[15][16] He had previously cited the show as a major influence on him.[17]

He has since appeared on a variety of radio shows as a "Simpsons expert", including appearances on Dermot and Dave and RTÉ.[18][19]

Note, the episode broadcast on 11 November 2001 is "The Parent Rap".
