The Reel World Podcast

Jerome and Kevin are back for a new year of looking at shows that may or may not have been canceled too soon. This month, it's the 2010 FX series Terriers, a show neither Jerome or Kevin had watched before preparing for this podcast. Why did this critically acclaimed show not get a strong recommendation from Jerome or Kevin? You'll have to listen and find out!

Ben Phillips & Jerome Cusson watched a LOT of movies in 2022, and recorded a conversation about their respective Top 10s for your theoretical enjoyment.

It's time once again for The Reel World's two superhero podcasts to cross the streams, as Ben, Matt, Jerome & Brian break down Phase 4 of the MCU and answer some burning questions. Plus the ever-chaotic combined rankings of every movie and show. Enjoy the madness!

So here we are. After 100 films, it's the end of the road for There Will Be Movies... for now. In an effort to go out with a bang, Ben and Matt recorded in person for the first time and invited a special guest in the form of Ben's partner Alex, leading to some fun bickering about When Harry Met Sally.

Jerome and Kevin are back again to discuss the second and sadly final season of the HBO show, Togetherness. Their final podcast of 2022 discusses the highs and lows of all the relationships. Stay tuned to find out what's next for the podcast as they enter a new year.
