The Reel Debaters

The Reel Debaters are a cocktail of unapologetic movie nerds and sharp minds with a pure love for cinema broadcasting from the heart of Manitoba's vibrant and ever-growing film scene. Each episode, this crew of cinephiles and industry insiders sits down to explore film and television through a lens that’s equal parts irreverent and insightful, with a deep respect for storytelling and a sense of humour that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Using Brackets, what-if scenarios, Top 5 lists, and a matrix of comparisons, there isn’t a topic they won’t touch. Leave a voicemail. They dare you.  When not arguing with each other to a cinematic death, they fill the gaps with interviews from Manitoba’s film industry all the way to Hollywood's front door. They even talked to a Kennedy and still wonder how that happened. Behind the laughs and 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. This is more than a podcast. It’s a cultural jam session celebrating the joy of asking "What if?"
