This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we reviewed the latest film in the James Bond franchise, Spectre. Here at InSession Film, we quite like us some James Bond, and our guest Justin, considers this one of his favorite characters of all time. So, this discussion was a lot of fun and full of enthusiasm. There’s also a fun motif that was unexpected, but bonus points to those who catch it.
That being said, what Top 3 James Bond movies would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
*Keep in mind we have different criteria for our lists as well

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, Matt and Justin from Simplistic Reviews joins us to discuss Spectre, the 24th film in the James Bond franchise, and also our Top 3 James Bond movies. And with Star Wars: The Force Awakens just around the corner, we started our Star Wars Movie Series with a fun discussion of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Fair warning, this show went a little long but it was a lot of fun. We, of course, discussed a lot of James Bond and why we tend to enjoy this franchise overall. And as big Star Wars fans, discussing Episode 1 was a tough task, but we did our best to explain why it fails as a film.
Anyway, check out this week’s show and let us know what you think in the comment section. Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting of the InSession Film Podcast!

This week on the InSession Film Podcast: Extra Film segment, we review the James Vanderbilt’s Truth, starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford in the roles of Mary Mapes and Dan Rather. We also take a look at the iPhone 5 shot indie, Tangerine.
Well, given the titles talked about on last week’s show, we decided this week to discuss films with only one word in title. Okay, that’s not true, it’s just worked out that way and the these two films provided some great discussion.
Have fun listening to this week’s Extra Film segment and let us know what you think in the comment section below. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

It’s become a fairly common opinion in the last year or two that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or “MCU”) is getting a little overextended. Marvel Studios is churning out films at a pretty incredible rate, and each of them is virtually guaranteed to rake in about $200 million or more. But with a lineup of films planned up to 2020 and beyond, it’s all starting to feel like a bit much.
Part of the reason for that feeling, however, is that most of these movies are sequels and collaborations, meaning they’re ultimately just rehashing familiar themes and character struggles from the heroes we already know. Marvel is remedying this fact by introducing some new characters and film concepts in the next few years, but I believe they could do even better to branch out. After all, if the MCU is going to keep on expanding, it may as well do so with some variety.
None of these projects is guaranteed just yet, but here are a few films the studio may still produce.
VENOM
Often viewed as a sort of evil version of Spider-Man, Venom is a very popular comic book villain that was unfortunately butchered in Sam Raimi’s shockingly horrific film Spider-Man 3. But that doesn’t kill the idea that this is a really unique character in the Marvel universe that could make for a very interesting movie. Venom is in essence a sentient alien substance (or symbiote) that requires a human host—so, naturally, he goes about infecting folks and endowing them with his powers in the process.
Before Raimi’s third Spider-Man film tanked, there were actually plans for a Venom spin-off. But when the franchise ended and The Amazing Spider-Man came about as a hasty reboot, the Venom film was temporarily scrapped. Evidently though, recent work between Sony Pictures and Marvel (basically, giving the Spider-Man film license back to Marvel Studios) has resulted in a renewed possibility for such a spin-off. Variety reported earlier this year that Sony, in collaboration with Marvel, is planning to move ahead with a standalone Venom film. So this one is still a possibility, even if it may not come directly from Marvel Studios.
BLADE
Various entertainment news outlets have reported that Wesley Snipes has had extensive discussions with Marvel about resurrecting (or possibly just rebooting) the Blade franchise he starred in over a decade ago. That franchise started off quite well before fizzling out by the third movie, but it retains a fairly enthusiastic following, making a reboot a potentially profitable idea.
But more than Snipes’ reported talks with Marvel, it’s several other indications in the video game world that are making a reboot seem more likely. Betfair’s collection of games has long hosted a number of titles featuring licensed Marvel characters, but lately it has been spotlighting the Blade character more prominently even than the Avengers. Like other Marvel characters, Blade serves as a character backdrop for a slot machine, but in recent weeks he’s been front page material. Not-so-coincidentally, the character has also recently been added to the Marvel Heroes 2015 online MMO. Given the hold Marvel has on its entertainment empire, this hardly seems like an accident. It may even be a prelude to the official announcement of a reboot.
MOON KNIGHT
The Moon Knight is a lesser-known Marvel hero to anyone who’s not a fairly devout comic fan, but he also happens to be one of the coolest characters in the whole of Marvel lore. A lot of that is due to his mysterious, caped costume, but the character himself is also pretty fascinating: his real name is Marc Spector, and he’s basically a boxer-turned-soldier who ends up on a wayward mission lost in the Egyptian desert. There, he nearly dies before he’s saved by Khonshu (the Egyptian Moon god) who transforms him into a kind of demigod. Spector returns to the U.S. a wealthy man and basically becomes a Batman-esque crime-fighting vigilante under the guise of the Moon Knight.
A great costume, a Batman vibe, and the chance to do something entirely different ought to tempt Marvel into a major project revolving around this character—and it seems that maybe that’s just what’s happened. According to Comic Book Movie, Marvel and Netflix have added a Moon Knight show to their expanding slate of Netflix original series ideas. The show is expected to come out by or before 2017 and looks like a done deal. It would still be pretty great to see this character added to the film lineup, too.
GHOST RIDER
The situation with Ghost Rider is much like that of Blade. There was already a film franchise that garnered some attention among fans but ultimately fizzled out. And in the time between then and now, the cinematic rights to the character have been returned to Marvel Studios.
Inquisitr quoted Kevin Feige, the creative boss at Marvel Studios, as indicating he had no specific plans for a new Ghost Rider reboot after regaining the rights. However, between Ghost Rider, Blade, and also the Punisher (another character whose rights recently went back to Marvel), it’s become difficult to imagine films won’t be developed. Whether or not a new Ghost Rider project would fit into the same MCU we’ve come to know remains to be seen, but it feels like a safe bet that the character sees the big screen again.
This week, as we anticipate our discussion and review of Spectre, we wanted to look back at the history of James Bond. For our top 3, we’ll be discussing our favorite James Bond movies, but for our poll, we want to know which actor you prefer as Bond. There’s been more than two, obviously, but the consensus seems to have Sean Connery and Daniel Craig as the favorites.
So, we wanted to ask, out of the two, which one do you prefer? Vote in the poll below!
This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we reviewed the Sandra Bullock film, Our Brand is Crisis, dealing with an early 2000’s Bolivia Presidential campaign. So for our Top 3 this week, election themed movies made sense. As referenced several times during the show, not all of us were familiar with this particular type of film (ahem, JD), however there are some amazing films that we were able to come up with for our lists this week. Perhaps we stretched our criteria a little bit, but hey, it’s what makes it fun.
That being said, what Top 3 election themed movies would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
*Keep in mind we have different criteria for our lists as well
JD
1) All the Presidents Men
2) Lincoln
3) The American President
Mike
1) The Manchurian Candidate
2) Election
3) Batman Returns
Brandon

2) Election
3) The Campiagn
Honorable Mentions (Combined) Ides of March, Air Force One, The War Room

Going off of that, we also discuss our Top 3 election themed movies, which was a fun discussion. And thanks to Pixar, we finished off the show with talking some of our favorite movie marketing.
One of these days, both JD and Brendan will be back on the same show together, but once again huge thanks to Mike for filling in this week and thanks to Brandon for being a wonderful guest. This show is a lot of fun and we had a great time riffing during the Top 3 and discussion segments.

– Movie Marketing (1:14:11)
For our discussion segment this week, we were inspired by the new Inside Out marketing video that features all of Riley’s emotions watching the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which we found brilliant. So, we decided to talk about some of our favorite movie marketing we’ve seen over the years.

This week on the InSession Film Podcast: Extra Film segment, JD is back in the saddle as the guys discuss Studio Ghibli’s latest, and maybe last film, When Marnie Was There as well as the swedish comedy, A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence. Yep that’s the real, and whole, title.
All we can say is, hopefully Studio Ghibli isn’t really finished. They’ve created some of the best animated films of all time and everything they do is at least good quality. When Marnie Was There is no different.
Anyway, have fun listening to this week’s Extra Film segment and let us know what you think in the comment section below. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Movies are good, yes? Assuming you’re not being forced to read this by a group of semi-terrorists, you’re on this website because you also love movies. There’s nothing better than settling down in the cinema (or at home) to watch a movie. You watch every trailer, you prepare for the experience and then… it’s terrible.
How can that be? The trailers looked good! It made it look intriguing or action-packed or (at least) entertaining.
As great as it is to watch a movie, there’s nothing worse than getting catfished by some great trailers that lead to a crappy film.
Today we’ll be looking at some of the best trailers of the 2000’s. They won’t necessarily be for bad movies, but some will definitely make the list. So, in no particular order, here are some of the very best trailers Hollywood has treated us with since 2000.
Prometheus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmJOO6D5RvA
Okay, so right off the bat let’s get one of the great-trailer-for-an-awful-film contestants out of the way. The trailer for Prometheus really is great – it doesn’t really give away the plot, and it provides some really great visuals. It conveys a sense of fear and despair that made the Alien franchise great, and it made it appear that Prometheus would be a worthy successor in the franchise. Oops. It’s too bad it wasn’t better as a film, but the trailer was great.
Cloverfield
Now, say what you will about Cloverfield – the shaky cam made you sick, there wasn’t enough of the monster, etc. – but the trailer was really incredible. It sparked interest, gave an enormous sense of scale, and left everyone wanting more. It conveyed a sense of confusion and terror. Unfortunately, the film was a bit of a let down.
Transformers (Teaser)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoVkYuCiHsA
The original Transformers film was a bit mind-blowing. It certainly wasn’t perfect, and the shortcomings of the franchise are well documented now, but the original film gave fans their first taste of what the Transformers could be on the silver screen. Michael Bay has since destroyed it, but the original teaser was incredibly cool.
Inception
The names attached to this film had already piqued interest, but once the trailer dropped it was a mind-blower. The giant folding city, the ominous voice over, and the spinny spinny room make this trailer as confusing as it is captivating.
Watchmen
Originally attached to The Dark Knight, the trailer for Watchmen made great use of director Zack Snyder’s greatest skill – stunning visuals. Great voice over, and the Smashing Pumpkins track in the background give the trailer a truly unique, almost music video-like, quality. It was almost like ripping panels straight out of the comics.
The Dark Knight
Speaking of The Dark Knight, we can’t talk about great trailers without including this one. It gives fans just enough plot, while giving everyone the sweet Batman action they wanted to see. I remember seeing this trailer for the first time, when Heath Ledger’s Joker made my hair stand on end. Great score, great visuals, great cast, A+ trailer.
Superman Returns
The trailer for Superman Returns is great mainly because of how it ends. The scene when the bullet deflects off Superman’s eye is great. It’s an incredible way to showcase the Man Of Steel’s powers. Unfortunately for the film, they squandered away the best scene in the trailer by surrounding it with garbage.
Battle: Los Angeles
A slow burn sets us up in the beginning, then a series of quick cuts adds to the suspense of the action set pieces. The cut to black at the end was particularly effective, and like all good trailers it left everyone clamoring for more. But Battle: Los Angeles shares something in common with so many of the films on this list – it wasn’t too good.
The Strangers
Geesh, don’t watch this one alone. Or in the dark. Or at home. The skipping audio over the top of the quick cuts of axes, knives, and all out terror make this trailer as scary and eerie as they come. The final line: “Because you were home,” still makes my skin crawl. Hold on for a second, I’m going to go re-lock every door in my house.
Godzilla
A nearly perfect trailer for a modern monster flick. When Zilla’s first appeared through the closing bay doors (a scene that wasn’t in the film) the theater I was in erupted. It shows just enough of the King Of Monsters to get everyone salivating, and we get a great voice over from Bryan Cranston.
The Social Network
The cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” in the background pushes this trailer from good to great. Opening with all-too-familiar screenshots of FaceBook was a great touch as well, and the “You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies” tagline is perfect.
Iron Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWWd6p2JHKo
I know it’s probably hard to remember a time before an established Marvel Cinematic Universe, but this is the film that kicked it all off. Within seconds Robert Downey, Jr. sets the tone as the snarky, witty, and brash Tony Stark. Add in some pretty sweet visual elements and Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” for a soundtrack, and you’ve got one heck of a trailer.
This week for our Episode 140 InSession Film Podcast: Bonus Content, DJ Valentine joins us once again for another edition of Nerdin’ Out, this time talking more Star Wars as we get a new trailer for The Force Awakens and season 2 of Star Wars Rebels begins!

Movies that feature great directors and a great screenwriter, now you’re really talking. Collaborations between brilliant directors and writers usually make for some of the best films of all time. Of course not all work out well or make a hit, but when they do hit, they hit hard.

With Steve Jobs coming to theaters this weekend, we wanted to pause a minute to talk about Danny Boyle. He’s a director that certainly has his own unique flavor and his best works are some of the best films we’ve seen over the last 20 years or so. In fact, 127 Hours made Brendan’s #2 film of the 2010-2014 decade so far. That being said, what is your favorite Boyle film? Vote in the poll below!
This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we reviewed Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Bridge of Spies. Spielberg has certainly been known for his unique fingerprint that you can certainly see in all of his films, making him one of the best filmmakers of all time. And depending on how you look at it, “Spielbergian” could mean several different things. Perhaps his sentimentality that he’s known for? Or his amazing action set pieces? Or perhaps it’s his world building that you love? Either way, there’s a lot to choose from and the conversation was quite interesting
That being said, what Top 3 “Spielbergian” moments would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
*Keep in mind we have different criteria for our lists as well
Brendan
1) I’ll Be Right Here – E.T.
2) Roy’s First Encounter – Close Encounters of the First Kind
3) Manufacture Chase Sequence – Minority Report
DJ
1) Truck Chase Sequences – Raiders of the Lost Ark
2) T-Rex Attack – Jurassic Park
3) We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat – Jaws
Mike
1) The Assassins Vengeful Murder of the Dutch lady – Munich
2) “I Pardon You” Scene – Schindler’s List
3) Indiana Jones Shoots Swordsman – Raiders of the Lost Ark
Honorable Mentions (Combined)
Private Ryan Backstory/I Keep This For Myself – Saving Private Ryan, Captain Miller Trying Not To Cry – Saving Private Ryan, Oscar Schindler Ring Scene – Schindler’s List, Quint Speech – Jaws, Welcome to Jurassic Park – Jurassic Park, Among many others…
Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below. Spielberg obviously has many other moments we didn’t get a chance to talk about, so there’s a good chance your list is different than ours. That being said, what would be your Top 3?
