The Reel Debaters

Inspired by High Fidelity and the "Top 5" List, The Reel Debaters were founded by unapologetic movie nerds with "sharp minds" and a pure love of cinema from Manitoba's vibrant, growing film scene. Each episode, a crew of cinephiles and industry insiders sit down to explore film and television through a lens that’s equal parts irreverent and insightful, with deep respect for storytelling and a sense of humor that doesn’t take itself too seriously. When not arguing with each other to cinematic death, they fill the gaps with conversations from within Manitoba’s film industry stretching all the way to Hollywood's doorstep. They even talked to a Kennedy. No, not that one. Behind the ludicrous landscape that is their collective consciousness lies a genuine curiosity about how we connect with the stories we tell and the impact film has on who we are. "I agreed that what really matters is what you like, not who you are like… Books, records, films – these things matter. Call me shallow, but it’s the f****n’ truth" Rob Gordon
