Podcast Review: @jdduran.bsky.social and @brendanjcassidy.bsky.social discuss Barry Jenkins' latest in MUFASA: THE LION KING! Watch: youtu.be/KcD8IjbFx_8 Listen: linktr.ee/insessionfilm

The Lions nearly gave me a Thanksgiving heart attack, but 11-1 for the first time in franchise history!

Between THE RED TURTLE, ROBOT DREAMS, and now FLOW, dialogue-less animated films with gorgeous visuals and stirring scores are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Was deeply moved by FLOW. What a freakin year for animated film.

GLADIATOR 2 suffers from an uneven script, something Ridley Scott doesn’t give two shits about, because it’s all about the spectacle and showmanship. Which is absolutely incredible. Nobody makes movies like he does and I’m here for it.

JUROR #2 is really good. A sharp little movie about the relationship between justice and self-interest, with an election in the background to boot. Really solid/classical filmmaking. Nicholas Hoult is excellent. Highly recommend this one.

Mostly Cooper Hoffman has stood out on his own, but man did this moment right here remind me so much of his father.

The PERFECT choice to host the Oscars.

Four films that should be in the Oscars conversation but isn’t.

Oscar Predictions: Here are Chasing the Gold Editor Shadan Larki’s updated predictions in all categories! #Oscars2025 #AwardsSeason insessionfilm.com/oscar-predic...

There are obviously other critics whose voices are way more important here, but I will say that I’m going to be annoyed when this wins the awards that should have went to CYRANO and ANNETTE. Performances are great, though. Zoe Saldaña is especially excellent.

Episode 610: We discuss Clint Eastwood and come to a consensus ranking of his Top 10 best films (as a director)! We also talk a little STAR WARS and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. Watch: youtu.be/q0mdx82y2bM Listen: linktr.ee/insessionfilm

I dug Anora for the most part, but I’m not sure Sean Baker will ever do anything better than The Florida Project. One of the best films of the last decade.

Wish I liked this more, but it’s still remarkably crafted and excellently performed. Enjoyed McQueen’s marriage of classic storytelling and his unique vision, even if it’s a little uneven.

So excited for this! #NowWatching

Outside of actually liking The Wild Robot, I’m genuinely surprised I thought The First Omen was decent. Definitely one of the better horror revivals I’ve seen recently.

As far as surprises go, the new Hellboy wasn’t half bad!

Probably A Quiet Place: Day One. I figured it'd be good, but not as great as it was.

For me, The Wild Robot. Did not expect to love it like I did

Orion and the Dark. Delightful for adults and children.

The Wild Robot. I had a feeling it would be good, but I was not expecting to ball my eyes out three times during that movie. I went back three more times and still cried every time.

What’s your favorite surprise movie of the year so far?

No one else like him. RIP

Have you seen Daughters on Netflix? If you want hope and resilience against all odds right now, that’s a must watch. So high-impact my ticket for Best Documentary was immediately punched in.

ANORA isn’t my favorite Sean Baker film, but it’s very entertaining and Mikey Madison gives an electric performance. One of the best endings of the year.

Podcast Review: We discuss Benjamin Ree's latest documentary THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF IBELIN! Watch: youtu.be/_mfk4PhOffM Listen: linktr.ee/insessionfilm

Still remains the closest to a religious experience I've ever had in a theater. Drove all the way to the Indy Science Center in the middle of the week in college for one of the few 70mm IMAX showings...I was reduced to a puddle by the end. Just a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL film. Nolan's most tender!

Yesterday was difficult, but I love movies and talking about them is a great form of therapy. Extremely grateful that we got to discuss two films last night on the podcast that I deeply loved. Really needed it.

Can’t stop thinking about this moment in The Brutalist today. Lady Liberty as a signal that the American dream is a myth; a promise that rings hollow

Hello all. For obvious reasons I’m gonna be more active here.
