Soccer Players: Period Dramas with Sebastian Beacon

On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes the charming and delightful actor and star of 2021’s “Time Now” and the celebrated short “On the Way North” Sebastian Beacon to the pod! On tap in today’s Bar Talk are reactions to Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza,” HBO’s NBA Lakers miniseries “Winning Time,” and getting nostalgic with the “60 Songs That Explain the 90s” podcast. Sebastian and the guys chat about his journey across the proverbial pond, becoming an American citizen, international acting styles, and what makes British actors so brilliant at American accents. Then, the fellas go back in time and back to the field as they compare soccer players to period dramas from Megan Rapino’s “Gentleman Jack,” to Harry Maguire’s “Gladiator,” to Mia Hamm’s “Amadeus.” In today’s Last Call, George anticipates the season finale of “Succession,” while Dave celebrates his brother Matt’s new bar The Marvel in Chicago! Producer Mary Bess praises New York City’s new noncitizen voter legislation while condemning the Supreme Court’s inaction around Texas abortion rights.
