Fantastic Mr. Fox

Beagles love podcasts
 
The Becks are ringing in 2025 with a cussing good movie based on a Roald Dahl book: Fantastic Mr. Fox. Listen in for such insights as Billy being unable to find the word "resources", Codie forgetting who Bret Hart wrestled at SummerSlam 1992, and both Becks thinking 122 minutes is less than 87. Enjoy!

Join in with your own copy of 1951's A Christmas Carol and watch along with Billy and Codie as they break down how the film expands on the novel, the cheesy effects, and Amazon's terrible attempt at closed captioning.

The Orchid Thief/Adaptation

We open with royalty-free trailer music...
 
Billy is back writing another description for an episode of a podcast; this one is about Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief and its 2002 adaptation Adaptation. He's trying to figure out some jokes to add to the description but he has writer's block, so he's handing the keyboard off to his twin brother Hank. Listen to the podcast or whatever to find out if someone shoots someone, and there's dirty language, and maybe even a romance angle? Enjoy!
