This week on the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Steven Soderbergh already having two films out this year, we thought it would be fun to go through all the year’s where directors had multiple films out in a given year! But we don’t just stop there, we rank our Top 10 pairings and determine which director had the best double feature. Finally, we continue our Best Picture Movie Series with the 1963 film Tom Jones!

– Director Double Feature (14:04)
It’s always interesting when director’s have two films come out in the same year, and it’s even more surreal when you realize that some of the best films ever made are featured in this context. To name a few, Steven Spielberg (who has done it twice), Alfred Hitchcock, Ingmar Bergman, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Akira Kurosawa have all had multiple films in a given year. So, to make it even more fun, we decided to rank the top 10 combos of films that these directors have released in a single year. It wasn’t easy to narrow down, but this was a really fun discussion.

– Best Picture Movie Series: Tom Jones (1:10:52)
We continue this series with one of the more overlooked Best Picture winners in Tom Jones. It doesn’t have nearly the reputation as many of its contemporaries, and after seeing the film, it’s easy to see why that is the case. Tom Jones is quite the departure from others who have won the big Oscar. Its comedic flavors do give it an interesting legacy, but we argue that it has its limitations as the film is uneven in execution, despite its genuinely compelling subversions.
