Here, we avoid real life by looking at Reel Life...
Created in partnership with 99.3 CountyFM, Reel Life is a podcast on Film as a medium wherein we discuss aspects of Film which you will ACTUALLY want to keep on your mind. Join us as we explore if we consider trailers to be Film, what makes a good sequel, which aspects of designing fiction go into a final project, writing advice, and more --- all with a good hit of general tomfoolery.
We have no idea what we're doing... BUT THAT'S THE FUN PART!
Proudly hosted by Duncan Smith in partnership with 99.3 CountyFM --- the Voice of the County.
!!!THE VERSION WITH THE CURSING!!!
For this, our second episode, Duncan and Gage discuss the concept of sequels --- meta, we know. Within are emotion-driven discussions of our favourite and least favourite Film sequels, accompanied by a fun drinking game for every time Duncan shits on Disney.
What qualifies a good sequel?

Episode 1.5: The Reel Life of ScreenPlay
Welcome BACK to Reel Life!
In this episode, recorded AFTER episodes 2 and 3 but released beforehand because editing is hard and takes a long time, Duncan and Gage remember titanic figures who passed away recently (as of recording) by recalling our favourites of their greatest hits.
Rest in peace to Catherine O'Hara, Hayden Panettiere, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Peter Cullen, and more. They will live forever in our hearts. <3
Welcome to Reel Life, the show where we avoid real life by looking at Reel Life.
