InSession Film Podcast

Kong: Skull Island / Top 3 Movies - Wear Its Influences / Rome, Open City - Episode 212

On this week's show we send a feast of reviews your way, so gobble up all you can before the chance has passed. 

As the title suggests, this particular serving of the show is very much a mix of sweet and sour. Our starter is a stimulating blend of film news and eclectic reviews, including brand new segment 'Stream Team' in which we pull tasty recommendations from some of your favourite streaming platforms and dish them up smorgasbord-style. For the main course, we offer up a high-concept plate of savage sci-fi on a bed of social commentary as we review Netflix stomach-turner 'The Platform'. Finally, our dessert will cleanse the palate and delight the senses as we bring you the sweet confection of our Top 5 Uplifting Films.
