#1 "Wholy bad performance Batman" Best Worst Batman Debate

Welcome to The Reel Debaters! We'd love to tell you that you'll find the elegance of Leonard Maltin and the thoughtful criticism of Roger Ebert here but if we're being honest, that's for those "other" film podcasts.

Welcome to the thunder-dome of Movie Debates friends. Here at The Reel Debaters we come up with situational debates and find out if our most beloved characters can make it off the screen in real life scenarios and if your hosts could survive in a plot from some of cinemas and tv's best . 

For our first podcast we offer the best of the worst of the actors who have had the chance to play the caped crusader , BATMAN! 

Cast: Micheal Petrow, Martin Navarro, Aron Doell and featuring Marc Cowell.

*note the name change, you are not listening to the wrong podcast, great minds think alike and we had to change our name*

About Us

Could James Bond be a Chef? Should The Ghostbusters have their own restaurant? What would Indiana Jones and Lara Croft's wedding look like? Maybe you want to find out if Conan The Barbarian could teach Sex Ed?

Welcome to The Reel Debaters, where real life meets reel life...

Each week you’ll hear 4 debaters sit down as they come up with a new tussle where they compare, contrast and insult each other with their takes for your listening pleasure. They'll either insert themselves into a story or see how they fare or bring the characters into real life scenarios that make less than no sense. As a bonus you'll get access from within the film industry and listen to "reel talks" about our favorite moments, scenes and stories.

Tune Thursday for a new episode and if there’s something you wanna hear beaten to death send us an email thereeldebaters@gmail.com

The Reel Debaters Podcast
Where The Art Of Cinema Meets The Power Of Debate
Could James Bond be a Chef? Should The Ghostbusters have their own restaurant? What would Indiana Jones and Lara Croft's wedding look like? Maybe you wanna find out if Conan The Barbarian could teach Sex Ed?

Welcome to The Reel Debaters, where the art of film meets the power of debate.

Each week you’ll hear 4 debaters sit down and use one of their many formats where they compare, contrast and insult each other with their takes on that weeks argument. They'll either insert themselves into a story and see how they fare or bring the characters into real life scenarios that make less than no sense.

When not arguing you can also listen to their "reel talk" session where they trade stories, ideas and reviews on the world of motion pictures and television and "special features" which is the interview series that brings you behind the scenes stories from the film industry
