A Millennial and Gen Zer clash over what makes their movies a classic. A Reel Pain is a movie debate podcast hosted by John Choate and Matthew Pursell, where generational nostalgia meets fresh perspective—and not everyone leaves happy. John, a millennial with a deep love for iconic ’80s and ’90s films, introduces Matthew to the movies he grew up believing were untouchable classics. Matthew, a Gen Z movie fan shaped by more modern cinema, returns the favor by bringing films John somehow missed along the way. This is a debate that you don't want to miss! Subscribe today!
