Description

We’re Danny and Marcel—two lifelong movie nerds who finally turned all those late-night debates and hot takes into a podcast. Reel Chums is where we dive into the movies we love and love to hate, swap behind-the-scenes trivia, and geek out like the film junkies we are. Think of us as your movie-obsessed friends turning casual chats into deep dives, rewinds, and “did-you-catch-that?” moments. From cult classics, blockbusters, or comfort rewatches—we’re here to break it down and have fun. If you love movies and want to hang with a couple of chums who do too, you’re in the right place.
