OnlyReelFans is a podcast series that acts as a movie club, and much more. At the start of the pandemic, Karen Twins Productions founders, Dillon Antonius Bentlage and Brian Reilly, formed a monthly movie club where they’d pick a theme (genre, actor, director, etc.) and take the month to watch a set of movies that fell under the theme. Once the month ended, they would do a call to discuss what they watched. After a couple of months of doing this, they decided to turn the movie club into a podcast. Now, everyone can tune in to listen to Dillon, Brian, and special guests virtually gather to do a fun, semi-deep dive into the films they watch each month.
