O Brother, Where Art Thou?

I am the man of constant podcasts   The Becks take some time off from their time off to bring you a brand new episode on the Coen Brothers' 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, based on Homer's classic epic The Odyssey. Join them as they deep dive into this very The Treatment-coded film, answering questions like: why are there so many cows? what happened to Odysseus' son? and did anyone on set even read the source material?

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

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?
