This week on the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Disney’s live-action Snow White, we come up with our top 5 animated movies to pitch to Hollywood for the next live-action adaptations! Plus, we continue our Best Picture Movie Series with the 1964 winner My Fair Lady.
– JD on The Electric State / Black Bag (5:51)
After missing the review episodes last week, JD opens the show by giving his thoughts on the Russo’s latest with Netflix in The Electric State and Soderbergh’s second film of the year Black Bag. Simply, one of these films is arguably the worst of the year and the other is undoubtedly the best film of 2024 so far.
– Live-Action Adaptation Pitches (24:45)
We live in a world where remakes and IP rule the day, so instead of fighting it, we thought we would have our say at where this saga should go next. In this exercise, we bring up a lot of animated films that we think would transition well to live-action (in theory, because, you know, execution matters) and in the end come up with a top 5 that we are going to pitch to Hollywood. What do you think of our list?
– Best Picture Movie Series: My Fair Lady (1:22:24)
We continue this series with a Best Picture winner that did not age gracefully at all. My Fair Lady is one of the ugliest films to win the big Oscar over the years, and while that could have been fascinating if handled well, the film fails to stick the landing. Leaving audiences in a muck that just doesn’t sit well when the credits roll. Perhaps miscast, but Audrey Hepburn is innocent.
