This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we begin by remembering the late-great David Lynch and then end the show by discussing our most anticipated movies of 2025! Plus, a small conversation on the current awards season and recent claims of AI being used in the films up for contention.
– David Lynch (6:40)
After some opening banter, we open the show this week by remembering the late-great David Lynch. There was no one else like him. His legacy is marked with his patented weird and surreal aesthetics, but underneath all of that obscurity was a sentimentalist who believed in the human spirit. He’s an artist that we loved and will deeply miss.
– Awards Season / AI (40:42)
With awards season is full bloom comes the snipers of competition, and boy did we see some hit pieces over the weekend. While other films were noted, such as Emilia Pérez and Better Man, no one took the hit harder than The Brutalist. Part of it is because of the marketing around The Brutalist, and part of it is the general discussion around AI, but either way it sparked heavy debate. Since we recorded this conversation, Brady Corbet did clarity some things that make sense of our speculation on the matter.
– Most Anticipated Movies of 2024 (1:09:49)
The InSession Film Awards is one of our favorite shows each year, but it’s a new year and that means new movies to look forward to as we turn the page. 2025 could be quite the departure from last year as we’ll see more spectacle this year with the likes of Avatar: Fire and Ash, Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts, Captain America: Brave New World, Jurassic World Rebirth, and Superman among others. However; we’ll have plenty on the auteur side of things as well as we are getting movies from Paul Thomas Anderson, Bong Joon-ho, Wes Anderson, Lynn Ramsay, Kelly Reichardt, Steven Soderbergh, Richard Linklater, Chloe Zhao, Ethan Coen, Guillermo del Toro and many more. There is a lot to be excited about for 2025. That said, what would be your top 5 most anticipated movies of the year?
