On this episode, JD and Brendan dive into Zak HIlditch's new(ish) zombie film WE BURY THE DEAD, starring an incredible Daisy Ridley! We're a little late to the party here, but the premise here is quite fascinating and the film uses a buffet of zombie lore to establish something unique.

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by HOPPERS jumping into theaters this weekend, we did our Pixar Movie Draft! Pixar's top-end filmography is about as good as it gets, with some of the very best animated movies ever made. This was a competitive and very fun conversation.

We also talk about Paramount buying Warner Bros. and why we think it's a very bad move for the industry. And with the Actor Awards happening over the weekend, we wanted to give some thoughts on the current Oscars race.
