List: Top 3 Adolescent Heroes

This week on Episode 229 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Spider-Man: Homecoming, we discussed our favorite adolescent heroes in film. As mentioned on the show, our criteria this week sparked some really fun conversation as to what “adolescent” really means when it comes to movie characters and some of the complicated journeys they go through.
