List: Top 3 Uses of Product Placement

This week on Episode 207 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by The Lego Batman Movie, we decided to discuss product placement in movies, which is an interesting topic in relation to film. Most of the time when you mention “product placement” and “film” in the same sentence, it’s usually in a negative context. However, this week we decided to spin that and talk about our favorite uses of product placement in film. There are, believe it or not, great uses of real-life products in film that will go down as some of the best moments we’ve seen the last 30-40 years.
