About Us
Set in the backdrop of Winnipeg’s booming film industry, The Reel Debaters Podcast is a motley crew of film-obsessed nerds and selected colleagues that sit down each episode blending comedy and a deep insight of cinema with ridiculous, satirical debates and facetious musings on media.

Could James Bond be a nanny?
Best new SNL Cast?
What would Indiana Jones and Lara Croft's wedding look like?
What if Conan The Barbarian could teach Sex Ed?
When not arguing the world of make-believe you can listen to the reel talk sessions which get more conversational with the best of film and TV as well as industry interviews from inside Manitoba film industry, across Canada, and to Hollywood’s front door.
