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
Where the Art Of Cinema Meets The Power Of "Debate"
The Reel Debaters is what happens when unapologetic movie nerds, sharp minds, and pure love for cinema collide, all from the heart of Manitoba's vibrant and ever-growing film industry

Each week, this crew of cinephiles and industry insiders sits down to explore film and television through a lens that’s equal parts irreverent and insightful. It’s where deep respect for storytelling meets a sense of humour that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Oh, they go off the rails in the best way.

Could James Bond hold down a job as a nanny?
What kind of wedding would Indiana Jones and Lara Croft have, and who’s surviving it?
Could Conan the Barbarian handle a high school sex-ed class...yeah, we asked that too.

But behind the laughs and the ludicrous hypotheticals is a genuine curiosity about how we connect to the stories we tell, the characters we create, and the impact film has on who we are.

Outside of the debates, their Reel Talk sessions and industry interviews dive into rich conversations with creators from Winnipeg to Hollywood — actors, producers, directors, and the voices shaping the screen, right now.

This is more than a movie podcast.
It’s a cultural jam session, a celebration of film, and a tribute to the joy of asking, "What if?"

New episodes weekly. Welcome to where the art of cinema meets the power of debate.
