Animal Farm

She's the Man

Some men are born podcasters, some record podcasts, and some have podcasts thrust upon them   The global tournament of international soccer (which we will not name for fear of being sued) is upon us, so the Becks are taking a look at the soccer movie She's the Man, inspired by William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. How did Amanda Bynes give the world Channing Tatum? Should Bynes' character been allowed to be subbed off then subbed back on in the climactic soccer game? Which Beck pooped their pants in the 7th grade? All these answers and more in this brand new episode!   www.ko-fi.com/soonmajorpod [http://www.ko-fi.com/soonmajorpod]   www.linktr.ee/soonmajorpod

Slaughterhouse-Five

And so it pods   The Becks conclude the season on Books We Didn't Get In High School with Kurt Vonnegut's classic novel Slaughter-House Five and its 1972 film adaptation. In this episode: Billy talks about bombs, Codie attempts to get the pod a copyright strike, and Toby bites a toe.

Lord of the Flies

Sucks to your podcast!   The Becks are stranded on podcast island, so what better to do than discuss William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies and its numerous filmed adaptations? In this episode: Codie takes a rare stint on the soapbox, Billy reveals deep Billy lore, and the Becks discuss which character would be played by a human in the Muppets' Lord of the Flies.

Animal Farm

All podcasts are equal, but some podcasts are more equal than others   The Becks continue their homework this season with George Orwell's Animal Farm, adapted to film three times including in 2026. In this episode, they discuss modern satire like South Park, how to drink at parties, and Billy tries not to react to another Philly sports playoff loss while recording.

Fahrenheit 451

Do you ever read the pods you cast?   The Becks begin their "Books We Probably Didn't Understand In High School" season with Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and its adaptations by Francois Truffaut and HBO. In this episode, they break down the themes of this classic novel, analyze why the 2018 film didn't work too good, and a hefty criticism of AI.
