This week on the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Warfare coming to theaters, we had a war movie draft discussing the best war movies of the 21st century so far! We also continue our Best Picture Movie Series with the 1967 winner In the Heat of the Night.

– War Movie Draft (8:15)
After some opening banter, we begin the show this week with our War Movie Draft, where we discussed the best war movies of the 21st Century so far. There have been some incredible war movies over the last two decades and we thought it would be a fun exercise to do a draft (pun intended?) to see whose lineup would make for a great film festival. After listening and hear our picks, who do you think won this draft between JD and Brendan?

– Best Picture Movie Series: In the Heat of the Night (1:18:51)
We continue this series with another fascinating entry into the Best Picture canon given the context of 1967. In the Heat of the Night might not go down as one of the best films to ever win the award, however, it was the right film for the year in which it won. Just three years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as tensions were still immensely high, comes a movie with a revolutionary lead character and remarkable performance by Sidney Portier. That cannot be overstated, giving In the Heat of the Night an importance that makes it a worthy winner.
