List: Top 3 Adult-Child Friendships

This week on Episode 320 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Shazam!, we decided to talk about the best adult-child friendships in film. Adult-child friendships are not only a trope that many films have used, but they’re some of the best relationships we’ve seen in film over the years. There’s something endearing about it and there’s often some sort of poignant message that makes the journey we go on with these characters all the more affecting. Meaning, there were tons of great options for this list and we enjoyed dissecting the films/friendships that rose to the top for us.. That said, here are our lists:
