So!

It’s been a few since our last episode. Reasons are as follows:

1.It’s summer. Outside is better than a basement studio.

2. I threw my back out 2 weeks ago for the first time ever (welcome to your 40’s) and I’m just starting to get back to my gymnast like flexibility (normal flexibility is all I’m hoping for) so sitting in a basement studio has been torture every time I try.

3. See #1

So expect less than normal programming and we’ll post when I’m able to get back in a chair.

Stay tuned for our live street debate this year, movies in the park with and lots more over the summer.

Thank you. Continue doom scrolling or listen to us. I can promise we sow no division like the rest of social media unless it’s about

The Reel Debaters

We all know real life is the inspiration for if not all, most of the movies we love to watch come from.

A Movie just watches better when you know that parts of our culture and history make it to the big screen don’t you agree?

Born out of weekly nights pontificating about cinema while ingesting chicken wings and cheap The Reel Debaters found a way to argue movies outside of the box.

Hosted by Micheal Petrow, a few comedians, some film professionals, a pop culture nerd and a rotating door of movie geeks they sit down each episode and answer some of films least debated arguments like “Who would make a great Prime Minister” or “What ensemble cast would you want to be a secret Santa to”
