List: Top 3 Meta Moments

This week on Episode 274 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Deadpool 2, we discussed favorite meta moments in film. Movies have been meta since the inception of the moving picture itself (probably not true but it feels that way), so the vastness of this topic is quite cumbersome, but it was a topic we were eager to take on. Some of the best, and most humorous, moments in cinema have come in the form of being meta. And since Deadpool uses the tactic really well (at least we think so), we figured now is a great time to talk about the scenes that worked for us the most. On that note, what meta moments would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
