May 10, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBWhen our robot overlords take over Earth in the near-future, we just hope they show some favor to the BVK crew based on this episode where we choose our favorite robots and cyborgs to ever appear in a movie. Some of these picks are pure terror inducing evil and some of them are amazing companions always willing to go the extra mile, but ultimately somebody's choices had to be judged as the best. We left that task up to Scotch Beck's older brother, Tim, with the hopes he'd be able to prevent ...

BVK returns with one of the biggest blockbuster movies of all-time where we discuss all the important details of this classic such as how much detail SkyNet puts into the T-800's junk, how much disability the LAPD had to pay out in this flick, and how John Connor being ten years old is absolutely hilarious.

April 26, 2022 11:00 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBNot all movie dystopias are equal.

The first of 5 road trip pods, the BVK crew invaded L.A. to talk Billy Madison with the legendary character-actor Larry Hankin. Larry regaled the boys with tales of co-starring with Clint Eastwood, being killed off on Friends, and ad-libbing lines on Breaking Bad.
BVK #58 - BVK Draft: Most Memorable Drivers in Film
March 31, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBWhat happens when your most memorable draft judge has a chance to select their own team? You bring in another memorable judge to choose a winner and you just pray they don't select Scotch Beck. Mo, who once did a 13 second quarter-mile in a Geo Tracker, shows up to bring his driving wisdom to the table to pick the team with the most memorable wheelpersons in movie history.

March 15, 2022 11:00 - 2 hours - 83.2 MBDavid Anspaugh (director of Hoosiers, Rudy) joins the BVK crew for their first ever legitimate "Drinking with the Director" segment! And while, one certain person (ahem... Brad) had just recently watched Hoosiers for the first time, a lot of great discussions take place including the best tactics to use to act drunk, why you should always cast real athletes in sports movies, and why you shouldn't make a "Director's Cut" of a film without involving the director.
BVK #52 - BVK Draft: Best Coen Brother's Character
March 10, 2022 14:31 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBIs it the dialogue? Is it the quirkiness? What makes for an excellent movie character? The BVK crew jumps in and selects the best characters from the films of the Coen brothers and all hell breaks lose.

March 03, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBWE'VE REACHED 50 EPISODES!

Some picks are funny, some are downright horrifying, but the BVK crew brings along Scotch Beck to find out who will hold the keys to the car by the end of the draft! Punches may or may not have been thrown!
BVK #49 - SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
March 01, 2022 12:00 - 2 hours - 82.9 MBIt's episode 49 of the BVK podcast and we had to go big, or go to the big house at least. We tackle Shawshank Redemption with the shocking fact that one of the BVK crew had never seen this film! We also have a special guest, Mike, who brings some insight into the prison system from his own experiences in it and he also sizes up the crew and lets us know which BVK members would make it through the first night.
BVK #48 - BVK Draft: Most Memorable Mothers in Film
February 24, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 66.5 MBThe BVK crew picks a very narrow topic this week, by choosing the most memorable moms in all of cinema. Some of these moms are terrific, some are terrible, and we asked our friends from the California True Crime podcast (look for them this March on the new Court TV show, Someone They Knew with Tamron Hall!) to join us once again to examine all the evidence and decide who is guilty of picking the best and worst moms movies have to offer.
BVK #47 - HEREDITARY
February 22, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBIf you haven't joined the BVK cult yet, then go ahead and jump on board now as we cover our eyes and look between our fingers to talk about Hereditary.

BVK #43 - DEFINITELY, MAYBE
February 08, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBIn our pre-Valentine's Day pod, the crew gets all sentimental and lovey-dovey about Ryan Reynold's ab-less, Definitely, Maybe.

BVK #21 - Training Day
November 16, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 78.3 MBWhat better way to break down Denzel's classic than with an actual police officer and longtime friend, Lieutenant Dan! In this jam packed episode, the BVK crew finds out that Nate is a half-deputized cop, they ponder what Lightning McQueen would be like on PCP, and they discuss why Dr. Dre should stick to making Beats and beats rather than acting.
