About Us

Could James Bond be a Chef? Should The Ghostbusters have their own restaurant? What would Indiana Jones and Lara Crofts wedding look like? Maybe you wanna find out if Conan The Barbarian could teach Sex Ed? We have the answers if you're curious... Welcome to The Reel Debaters, where real life meets reel life Micheal Petrow and Martin Navarro with their best good friends have gone too many sleepless nights while these and more questions like them continue to go unanswered. Each week you’ll hear 4 debaters sit down as they come up with a new tussle with a variety of patented and proven formats where we compare, contrast and insult each other with our takes for your listening pleasure. We’ll either insert ourselves into the movie or tv show and see how we fare or bring the characters into real life scenarios and see how they hold water and as a bonus give you access and interviews in the North American Film Industry

About the Podcast

The Reel Debaters Podcast
Where The "Art" Of Cinema Meets The Power Of Debate
Based in the heartbeat of Canada and surrounded by Manitoba's booming film industry, The Reel Debaters Podcast is a motley crew of film-obsessed nerds, comedians, and selected colleagues that sit down each episode and use one of their many "patented formats" to argue and insult each other for your amusements with situational debates created from their favorite films and shows

Example:
Could James Bond be a Therapist?
Should The Ghostbusters have a restaurant?
What would Indiana Jones and Lara Croft's wedding look like?
Wanna know if Conan The Barbarian could teach Sex Ed?

You get the picture.

At The Reel Debaters, we cover all your film needs. We argue the best releases, big and small, and reassess great films.

Between debates, you can listen to The Reel Talk Sessions where we trade stories, and behind-the-scenes knowledge while arguing our favorites, and interviews that bring you right to the front door of the film industry
