Dan Monaghan

Dan is the creator of Reel Takes, a Philadelphia-based TikTok channel where more than 105K followers tune in for two clear pillars of content: punchy movie breakdowns and concise commentary on the day’s biggest political and cultural headlines. His caption-rich clips make film history feel accessible and unpack the news with the same straightforward, conversational style.

In 2025 Dan leaves the 9-to-5 to focus on content creation full-time, giving both pillars more depth and frequency. He also brings his cinematic insight to Good Will Podcasting, the twice-weekly show he co-hosts with Conor and Stone, tackling new releases, cult favorites, and the wider pop-culture landscape.
