‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ with Grace Solem-Pfeifer
Episode 37

In true “Odyssey” fashion, we’re adding a few more stops to this Homeric kick. Today, it’s the Coen Brothers’ 2000 adaptation of “The Odyssey” — a banjo-picking romp full of scoundrels, sirens, and Depression-era commentary on the battle between newness and nostalgia. My sister Grace is here to discuss why “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” was one of our childhood touchstones, flex some translation knowledge, and play a disturbing album sales game.

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.
