This week on Episode 265 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Tomb Raider, we discussed our top 3 expeditions in film. Expeditions are a cinematic staple that in many ways defines what we love about going to movies. There’s something inherently joyous about watching characters on varying adventures that we would only be able to experience on the big screen. There are dozens of examples of this in film that include some of the most iconic moments in cinema history. So, this was a really fun topic to discuss this week.
