The Reel Take Podcast

During this lockdown, it can be tough when you're stuck in the same place, hour after hour, day after day. Tempers can become frayed and even the closest of podcast hosts can fall out over the silliest of things...like how Sinead keeps leaving the toilet seat up, like how Ross' beauty products are everywhere  and how Niall spends every evening practicing Mongolian throat singing. But even tho...

Freedom-loving people everywhere! In this edition of The Reel Take, to mark the 2020 US elections, we head on the campaign trail to make podcasts great again as we look at Presidents in the movies. So ask not what this podcast can do for you, ask what you can do for this podcast. Listen to it. That's what you can do.

In this week's installment of The Reel Take, we discuss those movies that became smash hits, but are actually pretty terrible. Looking at the state of the film industry, you might think this episode will be 5 hours long, but we manage to contain ourselves.

In the second episode of The Reel Take, Sinead, Ross and Niall talk about films that have flopped at the box office; both the turkey's that deserved to bomb and the hidden gems that didn't. Plus, Ross watches one more movie before we kill him and we once again murder a scene.
