On this episode, inspired by Kevin Jacobsen's captivating series of prompts where he asked who you would vote for if the last five Oscar winners (in any particular category) were up against each other, we thought we would do the same but for our InSession Film Awards winners! So it turned into a fun retrospective on our awards winners over the last six years, many of which we still love, but as you may expect, some of our winners may have changed if we had a re-do.  We also talk about the incredible box office opening for PROJECT HAIL MARY and we talk about the new trailers for DUNE: PART 3 and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!
