Thank you again to Reena, Sam for your time and knowledge and to Paisley for giving us access to nerd out over her time playing Bob Odenkirk’s (Better Call Saul) Daughter in Nobody(2021) directed by Ilya Naishuller (John Wick) with Christopher Lloyd (TAXI, Back To The Future) and Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman)

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 wanna 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 and 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 interviews 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

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
