¡Celebramos nuestro primer aniversario en CinemaJam! Y para festejarlo, octubre es el mes de "Nuestras Imperdibles", esas películas que amamos y siempre volvemos a ver. Arrancamos con una joya de Michael Mann: The Insider (1999).

En este episodio, Sebastián y Pablo analizan este intenso thriller corporativo. Exploramos la increíble transformación de Russell Crowe, la controversial actuación de Al Pacino y por qué esta película, filmada hace más de 20 años, se siente como un eco de una era periodística completamente diferente. ¿Fue Jeffrey Wigand un héroe por convicción o por venganza? ¿Es esta una de las mejores actuaciones de Al Pacino o una de las peores?

Acompáñanos a desentrañar los hilos de poder, ética y la lucha por la verdad en una de nuestras películas imperdibles.
