This week on the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Wicked and Emilia Pérez hitting theaters, we discuss our favorite musicals of the 21st century so far! We also talk a little box office, Cooper Hoffman breaking our hearts and Conan hosting next year’s Oscars.
– Box Office / Star Wars (2:28)
We open the show with our usual box office segment this week, highlighting for the last time the great run for The Wild Robot, which finished once again in the Top 5. We then pivoted quickly to Star Wars as they announced a removal of one if their films slotted for December 2026, a fun little irony given last week’s show.
– Cooper Hoffman / Conan / How to Train Your Dragon (13:28)
Over the weekend, we saw a heartwarming trend where Film Twitter united over Cooper Hoffman and how he invokes his father in one moment in Saturday Night. It’s something we’ve been talking about for two months now, and it was pure joy to see everyone talking about it on social media. So, naturally, we had to talk about it. We also wanted to highlight Conan being the new host of the Oscars. It’s a brilliant choice that will give the show a much needed new energy. And finally, we give our thoughts on the “first look” for the new live-action How to Train Your Dragon film coming out next year.
– Best Musicals of the 21st Century (47:29)
There have been some great musicals over the last 24 years, including a great mix of modern inventions and classical Broadway-style productions. For every Chicago, Cyrano, West Side Story or Les Misérables, we’ve seen a Dancer in the Dark, Annette, Hedwig and Angry Inch or La La Land. This was a really fun conversation.
– Music
Every Letter – Haley Bennett, Peter Dinklage, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Dessner Brothers
We Love Each Other So Much – Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Sparks
