Reel Sick Podcast
Reel Sick Podcast ... Its a Movie podcast but better? Four friends—Kris, Dylan, Jim, and Casey—who take films way too seriously… and not seriously at all. From cult favorites and indie gems to messy blockbusters, we dive deep, talk shit, and chase meaning in the chaos. Each episode kicks off with a quote from the movie, then unravels into passionate takes, weird connections, and the kind of conversations you’d have after a midnight screening. If you love movies and can handle a little madness, you’ll feel right at home.
