DadPod (feat. Doug Pfeifer & Rod Ballard)
Episode 36
The moms took their turn; yesterday the dads were on deck. Noah and Chance called “Big Rod” and “Digdoug” to discuss a pair of movies about early 20th century sporting. (It’s worth noting that the dads chose movies independent of each other.)
First, Chance called his father to discuss 2005’s Cinderella Man, listening to classic fights on the radio, and remembering Great Depression anecdotes passed down through the family. At 27:15, we transition to Rod Ballard’s selection of Chariots of Fire. There’s talk of post-WWI anxiety, Antisemitism meeting classism, and Olympic running. Ya know, dad stuff all around.

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel was a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
We cherished our 8-year run, talking to filmmakers like Gus Van Sant, insulting each other’s taste, and laughing to high heaven.
Chance’s new movie podcast, The Kick, continues to explore curated sub-genres and movie geekery. Noah is a frequent and beloved guest.
