This week on the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by this new era of Josh Hartnett, we discussed our Top 5 actor comebacks in film! We also talk about the Jake Schreier/X-Men news and the films premiering at Cannes that we’re most excited about.

– Opening Banter (0:40)
We begin the show this week with some fun opening banter talking about Mother’s Day and the best mothers in film. From Arrival to Almost Famous to Aliens, and many, many more movies, we’ve seen some great mothers in film. Do you have a favorite?

– Jake Schreier News / Cannes Preview (12:55)
Coming off the heels of our Marvel discussion last week, we thought it would be appropriate to discuss the Jake Schreier news that he might be the next director for the upcoming X-Men film in the MCU. We loved Thunderbolts* deeply, but is he the right choice for the project? And to round out the segment we wanted briefly talk about the movies premiering at this year’s Cannes Film Festival that we’re very excited about. If it lives up to the hype, it’s going to be one of the richest Cannes festivals in recent memory.

– Top 5 Actor Comebacks (1:29:13)
Using this new era of Josh Hartnett as inspiration, we thought it would be fun to talk about the best actor comebacks in film. There are certainly a few ways to define this given the varying narratives around actors who have made their way back into the cinematic landscape. However you decide to look at it, there are some amazing stories out there of actors who have come back to film and had a major impact, making this a really fun topic to discuss. With that said, what would be your Top 5?
