The Reel Debaters

#316 Oscar Alternatives. What if What if What if?

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 19:00:00 -0500

The Oscars are supposed to be the final word on the best film of the year. But every movie fan has at least one moment where the envelope opens, and the reaction is: wait… what?

This week on The Reel Debaters, we step into the cinematic multiverse and debate the Oscars that almost were. If a single vote, campaign, or moment of momentum had shifted, the Academy’s history might look very different.

And what else would Oscar week be like with a conversation about good old Timothy Chalamet stepping on his own campaign with not-so-kind words about the ballet and opera, which gets a little attention as well.

#312 Jeff Churchill

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we lace up with legendary Hollywood shoemaker Jeff Churchill, the man whose craftsmanship has quite literally carried some of cinema’s biggest characters across the screen.

From the emotional textures of Jojo Rabbit to the high-speed intensity of Mission: Impossible, and across the superhero universes of Marvel and DC, Jeff has been quietly shaping movie history… one pair of boots at a time.

We go behind the scenes of his fascinating career, exploring:

-How he got started in the world of professional costuming and shoemaking

-What really goes into designing footwear for stunts, action, and character authenticity

-The pressure of working on massive franchise films

- Collaborating with costume designers, actors, and directors

-His creative process, from sketch to screen

-The hidden storytelling power of a great pair of shoes

With over 8 major films and series featuring his work hitting screens soon, Jeff’s craftsmanship is about to be everywhere. If characters are running, fighting, flying, or saving the world… chances are, they’re doing it in his shoes.

Tie your laces, step into the spotlight, and walk with us through one of the most fascinating careers in modern filmmaking.

#311 "10 Things We Fan Fic About You" Best Teen Heartthrob Fan Fiction Debate

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500

Welcome back to the circus.

Episode #311 is stacked with fan fiction fantasies, Oscar-season chaos, and a classic Reel Debaters internet skirmish that absolutely did not need to happen.

This episode includes:

The Teen Heartthrob Fan Fiction Debate

We challenged each other to pitch the best teen heartthrob fan fiction idea imaginable. Tropes were abused. Logic was abandoned. Dignity left the building early. You’re welcome.

Movie Reviews

Mel Brooks’ The 99 Year Old Man – Does the comedy legend still have the spark, or is this one strictly for the diehards?

Predator: Badlands – New setting, same primal rules. We break down whether the franchise still knows how to hunt.

The Threads Fight That Wouldn’t Die...

Michael found himself deep in the trenches of Threads after arguing that Avatar being nominated for Best Costume Design actually makes sense. What followed was a spirited, slightly exhausting debate about CGI, world-building, and where costumes truly begin and end.

https://www.wetaworkshop.com/projects

Oscar Drama Corner...

We also dig into why Wicked: For Good failed to land an Oscar nomination, with industry chatter pointing to awkward marketing, confusing campaign messaging, and reported voter fatigue. Was it politics, poor strategy, or just bad timing?

#310 Coming Soon To A Calendar Near You, The 2026 Film And Tv Preview

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500

The future is knocking, and it’s holding a release calendar.

In Episode 310, we crack open the crystal ball and take a long look at what 2026 has lined up for movies and television. From big studio swings to prestige TV gambles, we sort the hype from the head-scratchers and argue about what’s worth getting excited about.

Before we race ahead, we rewind briefly to Hollywood’s first major awards stop of the year with a review of the 2025 Golden Globes and....

The continued blur between film and television prestige, with streaming platforms flexing hard
A noticeable shift toward international stories and creators getting real spotlight
Wins that felt inevitable and some shocking losses
Whether the Globes are finally finding their footing again, or just better at throwing a party

#309 Sinners, Witches and Alien(s) The 2025 Year In Review

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 19:00:00 -0500

“Can’t go back and keep making same mistakes. Must keep moving forward and make new ones.”

Thanks, Bridget.

Before we officially close the book, the Reel Debaters hit rewind one last time.

In Episode 309, we look back at the beautiful chaos that was 2025. The movies we loved. The shows we binged. The decisions that left us staring at the screen asking, “Who approved this?”

We debate what ruled the year, what completely missed the mark, and what surprised us for better or worse. Film, streaming, industry nonsense. Nothing escapes the recap.

Old arguments resurface. Closure is not guaranteed.

In Episode 308, the Reel Debaters sit down with the Director Finn McCager, Actor and Stunt performer Kristen Sawatzky and Cinematographer Jesse de Rocquigny of Give a Chad a Spot for a deep dive into the making of the film.

We cover:

The origin of Give a Chad a Spot and how the story came together
Writing the script and shaping the film’s tone
Casting, performances, and character development

What happens when the Reel Debaters go Secret Santa shopping… for their favourite movie and TV characters?

Bad ideas, inspired choices, and a lot of judgment. In Episode 307, the cast debates the perfect Secret Santa gifts if they were shopping for iconic characters, deciding who deserves something thoughtful and who’s getting a wildly inappropriate gag gift.

Then it’s back to business with sharp takes on Knives Out, Wake Up Dead Man, reactions to the Jake Paul fight, Bugonia, and more.

#306 Doug Morrow and Ashley Hyra and The Make Up From The Long Walk

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 19:00:00 -0500

This week on The Reel Debaters, we’re heading behind the blood, sweat, and prosthetics with Doug Morrow and Ashley Hyra, the makeup artists behind The Long Walk.

Doug and Ashley take us deep into the creative trenches of modern film makeup, breaking down their methods, the realities of working on set, and the problem-solving wizardry required when things do not go according to plan. From long days in the chair to last-minute fixes under pressure, they share candid behind-the-scenes stories straight from production.

We also talk about what it’s like working in today’s film industry, how the craft has evolved, and what still keeps them inspired. To round things out, we get personal with what they like to watch when they’re not creating movie magic themselves.

Press play and walk with us.

#305 Fatal Adaptation. When movies go episodic

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 19:00:00 -0500

On Episode 305 of The Reel Debaters, we debate the best movies adapted for television.

Some films thrive when stretched into episodic storytelling, gaining depth, character arcs, and cultural staying power. Others lose what made them special the moment the opening credits roll.

From prestige series to cult curiosities, this is a no-holds-barred debate on when adaptation elevates the original… and when it pulls the plug.

🎙️ Topics include:

Why Hollywood keeps adapting movies for TV
Films that became stronger as a series
Adaptations that misunderstood the source
Nostalgia vs reinvention
A game of what genres and themes we should never touch

#304 Aaron Merke and Safehaven

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 19:00:00 -0500

This week, we descend into the shadowy corridors of Safehaven, the new supernatural thriller premiering on Tubi.

This week's guest is a double-threat force behind the series: the head of special FX and makeup design and the actor who steps into the enigmatic role of Francis Zelk, Aaron Merke

We get to find out more about the architect behind Safehaven’s bruised dreamscapes and haunting practical effects, and also being one of the faces pulling you deeper into the show’s mystery.

On this episode, he walks us through the strange dance of designing terror for the cast while performing within it.

From early concept sketches to surreal on-set moments, from building creatures out of psychology to embodying a character tied to the show’s unsettling atmosphere, we explore how Safehaven’s world was stitched together.

About SAFEHAVEN

Based on the graphic novel, Safehaven follows Jenna Frost, a teenager tormented by visions that claw at her sanity and reality. As those visions take shape, the town’s darkest corners crawl into the light. The series blends psychological horror, supernatural lore, and YA drama into one slow-burning nightmare.

#303 "A Tale Of 2 Witches" The Wicked Episode

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 19:00:00 -0500

We’re heading back to Oz — and this time, it’s all about the movie.

Episode 304 is your full-blown Reel Talk review of Wicked (2024)

It's all on the table: the performances, the music, the visuals, the changes from the stage, and whether the movie sticks the landing as one of the most anticipated musical adaptations of the decade.

We break down everything, including:

Did Wicked, the movie, hit the emotional beats fans expected?

Ariana Grande vs. Broadway Glinda — who floats higher?

Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba: misunderstood icon or emerald hurricane?

The songs — which ones soared and which ones felt… magically mid?

CGI, chemistry, choreography… and yes, who actually hit those notes.

Is this the future of musical blockbusters or just another glossy adaptation?

Expect classic Reel Debaters chaos: bold opinions, friendly yelling, unlicensed attempts at the high notes, and at least one of us trying not to cry at “Defying Gravity.”

Short reactions to what else we watched this week:

Pluribus — still looking for someone who’s seen it.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — Whitney, please.

The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker — the chaotic neutral energy is real.

HIM — horror? comedy? emotional damage? You decide.

#301 Three Men, a Little Lady and "The End Of Our Own Making"

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 19:00:00 -0500

In this episode of The Reel Debaters Podcast, we sit down with the creative minds behind The End Of Our Own Making — a tense, character-driven Winnipeg production that explores the fallout of an active shooter targeting the staff of a private security company.

Host Michael Petrow is joined by writer/director Cam Paterson, actors Darcy Fehr and Suzanne Pringle, and director of photography Ryan Herdman to unpack the emotional weight, creative process, and technical challenges of bringing such a raw and relevant story to life.

From crafting tension in confined spaces to navigating the emotional toll of portraying trauma, the team dives deep into what it means to tell a story that reflects both humanity’s fragility and resilience.

They also discuss:

How the script evolved from concept to screen
The importance of authenticity in performance and production
Capturing intensity through cinematography and sound
The collaborative spirit of Manitoba’s film community
Why The End Of Our Own Making is more than just a thriller—it’s a mirror to the world we live in

Whether you’re a filmmaker, cinephile, or supporter of local cinema, this episode shines a spotlight on the depth and talent of Manitoba’s indie film scene.

#300 "A Reel Nightmare On Debate Street" Best Halloween Special

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 12:15:00 -0500

It’s our 300th episode, and we’re celebrating with a scream! The Reel Debaters mark this milestone by facing off in one wicked debate:

What’s the best Halloween special — movie or TV?

From nostalgic sitcoms to cult horror flicks, each debater brings their own version of Halloween greatness to the ring:

Emily enchants the room with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, WandaVision, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and Hocus Pocus.

Charles brings chaos with That ’70s Show Halloween Special, Goosebumps, Mars Attacks!, and Freddy vs. Jason.

Michael keeps it weird with Ernest Scared Stupid, Donnie Darko, The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror, and Stranger Things.

We break down the contenders, set the scene, and go all-in on the debate because someone has to bring order to all this.

#299 "No Country For Old Tribes" | The Survivor Debate #2

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 19:00:00 -0500

What happens when Hollywood’s biggest characters get stranded on a deserted island with nothing but their egos, alliances, and a few hidden immunity idols? Welcome to The Reel Debaters’ Survivor Island — where we take some of our favorite movie heroes, villains, and misfits and throw them into a cinematic version of Survivor using the modern 26-day format.

We break down the tribes, alliances, and inevitable betrayals as these on-screen legends battle it out for the ultimate title: Sole Survivor of Cinema.

Will John Wick build a shelter or burn it down? Can Elle Woods out-charm the jury? And what happens when Tony Stark tries to “optimize” camp life?

#298 Coby Friesen and Cruising In Gomorrah

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 18:00:00 -0500

This week, we sit down with writer-director Coby Friesen to talk about his haunting and provocative new short film, Cruising Gamorah — a bold exploration of faith, repression, and desire set against the eerie calm of a reportedly haunted creek. Childhood friends Chris and Alex reunite for a camping trip that spirals into tension, temptation, and truth as their worldviews — and hidden feelings — collide under a dark, watching presence.

We dig into the film’s origins, the creative balance between spirituality and sexuality, and how Colby crafted such an emotionally charged story within Winnipeg’s thriving indie scene.

*We got new mics, so we're working out the tiny hum you hear in this one, apologies from the kitchen*

#297 From Suplex To Cineplex "Best Wrestler Turned Actor"

Sat, 04 Oct 2025 19:00:00 -0500

Who is the greatest wrestler-turned-actor of all time? From Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s box-office domination to Dave Bautista’s dramatic chops, John Cena’s comedic timing, and Roddy Piper’s cult hero status, the Reel Debaters step into the ring for a 12-actor single-elimination showdown to crown the ultimate crossover champion.

#296 One Milkshake After Another | The Films of Paul Thomas Anderson

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 10:00:00 -0500

This week on The Reel Debaters, we put the spotlight on one of modern cinema’s most fearless filmmakers: Paul Thomas Anderson. From the wild nights of Boogie Nights to the quiet tension of Phantom Thread, PTA has built a career on characters who burn, ache, and sometimes explode.

Is he one of the last true auteurs working today?

How does he slip so seamlessly between genres without losing his voice?

Would he ever embrace streaming, or is the theater his only home?

And with his upcoming film One Battle After Another, what past PTA films feel like battles in their own right?

#295 "The Fast and the Footsore" | The Long Walk Debated

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 19:00:00 -0500

What if Stephen King’s The Long Walk didn’t star a bunch of random teenagers… but instead your favorite TV and movie characters?

We’ll debate:

Who gets cast in this twisted endurance test?
What cinematic levels, scenes, and rules shape the road ahead?
What prizes could make the suffering worth it?

Think The Hunger Games meets The Truman Show with a dash of Wipeout. It’s a mash-up only we could dream up, and the results are hilarious, chaotic, and maybe just a little cruel.

#294 "Blue Suede Booze" | Bubba Ho-Tep Commentary

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 19:00:00 -0500

Five years ago, Steve and Michael cracked open too many drinks, fired up Bubba Ho-Tep on Tubi, and decided to attempt a watch-along.

Blue Suede Booze is now being heard for the first time because, wow, can we get distracted and forget we're recording...

What started as a casual commentary turned into ad-break insults, behind-the-scenes trivia, and the occasional (read: frequent) long pause of wheezy, drunken laughter.

In this episode, we revisit that wild night of Elvis vs. an ancient mummy, celebrate why Bruce Campbell is the undeniable GOAT of cult cinema, and stumble our way through insights about prosthetics, Don Coscarelli’s directing, and the strange beauty of this weird little horror gem.

#293 It’s So Fluffy! Despicable Me 4 Commentary Live At Movies In The Park

Sat, 30 Aug 2025 19:00:00 -0500

The Reel Debaters went full Minion mode this week as we set up shop at Movies in the Park for a live commentary on Despicable Me 4!

In This Episode:

-How we got kicked off the stage by a recording from our hosting duties

-Should voice actors always change their voice, or is it okay to bring their own sound to the mic?

-What really went on behind the scenes to turn a villain and his Minions into a global animated empire?

-Which childhood animated favorites still hold up—and which deserve to be sent to the “Gru’s gadgets gone wrong” pile?

-And of course, we dive deep into the DreamWorks / Illumination cinematic universe, because nothing says “family fun” like corporate synergy and fart jokes.

From banana-level brilliance to plots that feel a little despicable, we’re breaking it all down with laughs, tangents, and a little nostalgia sprinkled in.

Grab your popcorn, watch out for stray freeze rays, and join us for a night where the only thing more animated than the screen… is us.

#292 David MacInnis and Nobody 2

Sat, 23 Aug 2025 19:00:00 -0500

This week on The Reel Debaters, we sit down with actor and stunt performer David MacInnis for a wide-ranging conversation about the craft, the industry, and his latest bruises courtesy of Bob Odenkirk in Nobody 2.

David is known for his commanding yet vulnerable performances. A highly physical and imposing performer, trained in both the martial arts and dance, he infuses his characters with a deep, physical life. David is a classically trained actor, having graduated from the prestigious Conservatory Acting Programme at the University of Alberta, he is as comfortable on set as he is on stage. With over 60 film and television credits, David continues to be highly sought after in the ultra-competitive Toronto market. He has worked on-camera across the country and on stage in Canada and the US.

#291 "Bobsticals and Opportunites" Pitch It With Bob Odenkirk

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 15:45:00 -0500

This week on The Reel Debaters, we roll out the red carpet for Bob Odenkirk… well, not literally, but we do put on our Hollywood producer hats and pitch him the projects he didn’t know he needed. From a Mr. Show movie to a Broadway spectacle to the world’s least helpful cooking show, we’re giving Bob the career path no studio exec would ever approve.

We break down the contenders, set the scene, and go all-in because someone has to bring order to all this.

#290 "Spoof There It Is" Naked Gun and The Parody Comedy

Sat, 02 Aug 2025 19:00:00 -0500

Nice Beaver

This week on The Reel Debaters, we break down The Naked Gun Series—a masterclass in chaos that still sets the gold standard for spoof comedy. We’re talking best moments, why Leslie Nielsen is the GOAT of deadpan, and what makes this series so damn good decades later.

Plus: with a reboot on the horizon, can it rescue modern comedy, or is lightning too weird to strike twice?

Frank Drebin never aimed straight, but the laughs always hit.

#289 Cape Expectations: A Superman Breakdown

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 17:00:00 -0500

The cape is back, the tights are real, and that soundtrack!

This week, we dive headfirst into James Gunn’s shiny new take on the Last Son of Krypton — the 2025 Superman reboot.

We ask the important questions:

-Is this Superman a Boy Scout or a bad boy with a heart of gold?

-Is Lex still doing real estate scams, or has he upgraded to NFTs?

-Can a modern Superman movie fly without crashing into a CGI multiverse?

-Break down the new cast, suit, and tone

-Compare it to past Supes (Cavill, Reeve, Routh — the whole Kryptonian Rolodex)

And dig into James Gunn’s attempts to make Superman fun and grounded

#287 — "Brains, Guts, and Load Outs: Zombie Survival Showdown"

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 08:00:00 -0500

With 28 Years Later infecting theatres, the Reel Debaters bunker down for the inevitable question: Can they survive a zombie apocalypse?

This week, the panel locks and loads for a full-on Zombie Survival Draft, where each debater builds their ultimate survival kit AND argues which movie or TV character would lead humanity out of the undead wasteland. Think The Walking Dead, but with more yelling and fewer supply runs.

Segments Include:

The Ultimate Survival Loadout Draft – Weapons, shelter, snacks? We draft from five survival categories and try not to get bitten.
Who Leads the Resistance? – Debaters pick a character from a zombie film or TV show to lead their post-apocalyptic crew.

Reviews:

Final Destination: Bloodlines – Is fate still fatal, or is the franchise finally out of gas?
Until Dawn – a chilling, cinematic thrill ride that proves every choice counts—and bad ones get you killed in 4K.
The Studio – a razor-sharp satire that hilariously skewers Hollywood egos—Seth Rogen’s best roast since This Is the End

The Reel Debaters Trivia+, where fandom celebrates

Think you’ve got the Jedi brainpower to survive our trivia night?

Prove it at Star Wars Trivia Night at Little Brown Jug on July 19th.

Ep #286 – Let Cartoons Be Cartoons?

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 09:00:00 -0500

This week, the Debaters ask: Why remake perfection?

From Disney’s CGI fur-fests to soulless shot-for-shot snoozefests, we're debating the highs, lows, and WHYs of live-action remakes of animated classics.

Do they honor the originals or recycle your childhood for a quick buck?

DEBATE TOPICS INCLUDE:

The best and worst live-action remakes
Should animation just stay animated?
Is “The Photorealistic Lion King” just Nat Geo with Beyoncé?
Which remake improved on the original (spoiler: it's rare)

🎬 PLUS:

A Severance Season 2 preview: Will work/life balance ever recover?
A review of The Four Seasons – not the hotel or the pizza joint
Good Will Hunting gets dissected with therapy, math, and Boston accents

#284 Beers, origin stories and "Given er": Deaner '89 with Director Sam McGlynn

This week on The Reel Debaters Podcast, we’re cracking a two-four of cinematic nostalgia with director Sam McGlynn, the director behind Deaner '89 — the Canadian Screen Award-nominated film that brings FUBAR legend Deaner (Paul Spence) back for one more righteous ride.

Filmed right here in Manitoba, Deaner'89 is more than just a throwback — it’s a love letter to late '80s mullet culture, prairie punk rock, and shotgunning beers. Sam takes us deep behind the scenes to chat about:

The origins of Deaner '89 and how the film went from cult idea to award-nominated classic

Shooting in Manitoba

Working with a Canadian comedy icon — how Paul Spence is still givin’er

What does it mean to get nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for his first feature?

If you grew your first stache to a Tragically Hip song, or just love hearing how indie filmmakers keep the Canadian comedy spirit alive, this one’s for you.

So grab a cold one, toss on your denim tuxedo, and join us for a heavy dose of hoser hilarity and heartfelt hustle.

🎬 Watch Deaner'89 on Crave right now!

Sat, 24 May 2025 08:00:00 -0500

#280 "A smart and funny satire that delivers comedy and criticism" Movies Reviews and Critics"

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 19:00:00 -0500

This week on The Reel Debaters we dive headfirst into the evolving world of film reviews and movie criticism—from the glory days of newspaper columns and Siskel & Ebert to today’s TikTok hot takes, Letterboxd essays, and influencer-driven Rotten Tomatoes scores.

-What does it mean to be a movie critic in 2025?

-Are critics still tastemakers, or has audience reception completely taken over?

-How does this shift affect the studios, the box office, and even the films we get made, and more

We argue the value and relevance of traditional vs. modern film criticism, the rise of algorithm-driven opinion, and how platforms influence the conversation around movies more than ever.

Reviews:

The Pitt – The return of the primetime medical drama by the creators of ER kills with 10 million views per episode

It Ends With Us – The book was divisive, and now the film might be even more so. We unpack the adaptation and does it capture emotional weight or Hollywood melodrama

The White Lotus: Season 3 – With the latest location, new cast, and thematic shift, what did all this incest mean?

Stephanie Guest

My name is Steph and I'm currently located in Winnipeg, Canada. I've been drawing ever since I was 9 years old. I used to pause my VHS tapes of Sailor Moon and Pokemon and try to copy what I saw. When I was a teenager I had aspirations of moving to Japan and becoming a manga artist, like so many young weebs do. I started Designs by Saka in 2018. I had recently started collecting enamel pins centered around One Direction. There were a lot of options available for Harry Styles, but not many for Niall Horan. I figured I could draw some myself, so I dusted off my old tablet and rediscovered my love for art.

Jessica Seburn and Rebel Grief Guide

Jess Seburn is a death doula, writer, and recovering stand-up comedian here in Winnipeg. As a death doula, she provides end-of-life and grief support to rebel hearts and brave weirdos. Jess’s work is all about making the conversation around death more approachable, putting compassion and dark humour into a blender and always hoping for the best. Her bona fides for this episode include writing for a local video production company, and crying so hard she has thrown up. Her work has included features in CBC, The Uniter, and The Winnipeg Free Press. In 2024, she was featured as a grief expert in CBC Gem’s, Finding Diamonds.

GAME DAY is a raw, humorous, and emotionally gripping film about an Italian American

family from Philadelphia who gather every Sunday to watch their beloved Eagles. But on

this Sunday as each quarter of the game unfolds, arguments, fights, and bitter realizations

arise within the family, exposing deep divisions and rivalries that turn child against parent,

husband against wife, with grandparents and siblings battling it out until the bitter end.

Who will win?

Co-written by Philadelphia native Dean Simone, GAME DAY is a story for our time about

a family that fights passionately among themselves but never gives up on each other.

Property master Dean Goodine learned hands-on from some of the best in the industry on sets like Unforgiven and has worked on The Incredible Hulk, SEE, Inception, The Assassination Of Jessie James By The Coward Robert Ford and Star Gate Atlantis and SG1.

Ep. 40 Covid Watch #2

Thu, 23 Apr 2020 01:13:24 -0500

Due to the ever changing times we decided that if we were going to continue the show it had to be done with Covid in mind. While we apologize for not being able to give you the style of show we love to make we have figured out we can still argue dumb sh%$ about movies with out being in the living room. The live debate has been put on the shelf for the moment mostly because its impossible to edit and WAY more fun in the same room. That said , welcome to Covid Watch. We've gone to a one on one format, think more UFC and less Royal Rumble with not only cast members but friends, family, podcasters and some special guests as well. You'll be hearing arguments like always, interviews and we'll be trying out some new ideas because we all have the time. Lastly we've made our peace with the idea that TV should be allowed on the show. The big screen shall play with the little screen...for now. On the phone this week are cast members Jimmy Skinner, Chris Stanton and Mark Cowell.

Ep.39 Covid Watch #1

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 01:54:53 -0500

Hello Debaters, we're back.....well, we've changed but it's only temporary Due to the ever changing times we decided that if we were going to continue the show it had to be done with Covid in mind. While we apologize for not being able to give you the style of show we love to make we have figured out we can still argue dumb sh%$ about movies with out being in the living room. The live debate has been put on the shelf for the moment mostly because its impossible to edit and WAY more fun in the same room. That said , welcome to Covid Watch. We've gone to a one on one format, think more UFC and less Royal Rumble with not only cast members but friends, family, podcasters and some special guests as well. You'll be hearing arguments like always, interviews and we'll be trying out some new ideas because we all have the time. Lastly we've made our peace with the idea that TV should be allowed on the show. The big screen shall play with the little screen...for now. On the phone this week are cast members Martin Navarro and Dan Goldberg with their watch lists and talk Tiger King and It's always Sunny in Philadelphia and Micheal Petrow talks with film professional Myron John Tataryn about working with Henry Cavill while looking after his dog and where he thinks Westworld is headed.

Ep.38 Movies in the time of Covid

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:13:14 -0500

The whole point of watching a movie is to be taken away from the mundane and the normal. With the way things are going right now in the world, a good movie is needed now more than ever to give your mind a break from all things Covid-19. The debaters get into their favourite comfort movie, what they're disappointed about thats being postponed, what they're enjoying at the moment while on covid watch, what the movie industry could do to stay a float right now with our "professional" opinions and as always a few things we never plan on talking about. In the living room this week is Jimmy Skinner, Dan Goldberg and Micheal Petrow and ON THE PHONE is Mark Cowell as he self isolates after getting home from Cuba. Nothing stops that man from talking!

#37 "2 men enter, 1 man leaves" Best Deathmatch Debate

Thu, 19 Mar 2020 02:21:00 -0500

How many of us have watched a movie and said “ I could totally survive________ if that happened to me” This week The Reel Debaters ask themselves that very question while pulling a debate from a not well known genre called “ Humans hunting Humans”

Inspired by The Running man, Death race and Surviving the Game the cast argue their weight in salt and see if they could survive a movie that has anything to do with a tournament/challenge/cultural event that ends in a winter take all/deathmatch scenario.

Debate: Each cast member picks a movie that has one of the previously mentioned events in it. They must argue why they feel that their present day version of themselves would survive, how they would do so and what skills they think would help them in their quest.

Rules: Only access to what’s in the movie for defence and offence and you have no time to train. It's off the couch and into the ring.

In the living room this week is new cast member Dan Goldberg ( 3 episodes in a row!) Jimmy Skinner , Micheal Petrow and first timer and awesome human comedian and artist JD Renaud

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 or 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 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

#36 Special Features: Make Up Artist Doug Morrow

Wed, 11 Mar 2020 22:57:00 -0500

Welcome to special features were Micheal sits down with film technicians , actors, writers, directors and more and pulls the curtain back on the magic of filmmaking

This week The Reel Debaters starts Doug Morrow, owner of Character Illusions Inc Make Up Studio and a 30+ year veteran in the movie industry doing beauty and character makeup, puppets and prosthetics.

Doug shares stories about set life, working on such movies as Jumanji (1995) and Happy Gilmore (1996), what it takes to "make it" (pun intended) in the movie industry and coming home to Manitoba which is now a hot spot for filming in Canada and so much more we are more than likely turning this into a 2 part episode. Kind, humorous and full of knowledge, in short, Doug is the perfect guest. Joining him in the living room are Jimmy Skinner, Micheal Petrow and Mark Cowell.
