Review: Enola Holmes 3

InSession Film Podcast ·

2026/07/08

On this episode, JD and Megan discuss the latest film from Netflix in ENOLA HOLMES 3! It's weird how the film came and went without any fanfare and barely any discourse. The tepid response to this film is interesting given how well received the first two were, but perhaps that's why Netflix kept it so quiet.

Review: Tuner

InSession Film Podcast ·

2026/07/07

On this episode, JD and Megan discuss not just one of the best surprises of the year, but generally one of the year's best films in TUNER! Leo Woodall gives one hell of a performance in a movie that shouldn't work, and yet it all somehow comes together wonderfully. Which is to say, we had a blast dissecting this one.

Review: Supergirl

InSession Film Podcast ·

2026/06/30

On this episode, JD and Megan discuss the second movie to debut in the new DCU in SUPERGIRL! The film has been quite divisive at best (shocking, we know), but its execution does leave something to be desired, even if it's affable on paper. We do our best to find the root causes of its failures while also highlight what does work about the film.

Review: The Death of Robin Hood

2026/06/25

On this episode, JD and Megan discuss Michael Sarnoski's visceral new film THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD, starring an incredible Hugh Jackman!
