List: Top 3 Struggling Artist Movies

This week on Episode 332 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Yesterday, we thought it would be fun to talk about struggling artist movies. To say this was a challenging topic is putting it lightly. “Struggling artist” is a vague term and can mean many things depending on criteria and how that is defined. Simply as is, there are a gazillion movies to choose when it comes to this arena, so we did our best to narrow down the options with the rules we choose for our individual lists. Despite the challenge, we are confident that you’ll enjoy the films we ended up picking. That said, what would be your Top 3?
