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 Chef?
Should The Ghostbusters have their own restaurant?
What would Indiana Jones and Lara Croft's wedding look like?
Maybe you want to 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 our interview series that brings you right to the front door of the film industry

Welcome to Where The "Art" Of Cinema Meets The Power Of Debate.
