The "theme" of the 4th session of #FILMTALK with #POPCORNX is "sci-fi", with a InstagramLive slightly later than the "designated" 11am, with a 1PM session lasting about half an hour as well (so that looks to be a "by-default" duration for future sessions lol). The session is currently watchable on my IGTV here (embedded below).
The 5 movies are:
Blade Runner 2049
Riddick
The Next Three Days
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
