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.

Episode 39 - Animal Kingdom (2010)
16 hours ago
16 hours ago
This week on Reel Sick Podcast, the crew sweats it out in their brand-new (and very poorly ventilated) studio to unpack the grimy Australian crime drama Animal Kingdom (2010). Jim brings the pick and some heavy grandma energy, Dylan praises Ben Mendelsohn’s psychopath game, Casey Jade has thoughts on incest vibes and weird family dynamics, and Kris wonders where all the money from these so-called bank robbers actually went.
Together they dive into themes of power, control, loyalty, and why you should probably never trust a smiling grandma in a silk robe. Also: awkward kisses, surprise cop executions, and a Christmas story involving crystal meth and a gallon of milk.
