List: Top 3 Sense of Scale Movies
This week on Episode 281 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Ant-Man and the Wasp, it felt appropriate to talk about films that have best utilized a sense of scale in film.

At the very least, it sparked some enjoyable conversation. On that note, what movies would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
