This week on The Reel Debaters we go fist to cuffs over what makes a great prison movie.

We like options so we kept the rules pretty simple.

1.The primary location needed to take place in penal facility (no flashback scenes where someone did a dime in Attica).

2.The movie had to be about doing time , not just the prison being the location of the movie. 

Movies being argued this week are Papillon, The Green Mile, Midnight Express and Shawshank Redemption. 

Cast: Aron Doel, Micheal Petrow , Martin Navarro and Mark Cowell.

Welcome to The Reel Debaters, where real life meets reel life...

Each week you’ll hear 4 debaters sit down as they come up with a new tussle where they compare, contrast and insult each other with their takes for your listening pleasure. They'll either insert themselves into a story or see how they fare or bring the characters into real life scenarios that make less than no sense. As a bonus you'll get access from within the film industry and listen to "reel talks" about our favorite moments, scenes and stories.

Tune Thursday for a new episode and if there’s something you wanna hear beaten to death send us an email thereeldebaters@gmail.com
