Some men are born podcasters, some record podcasts, and some have podcasts thrust upon them

The global tournament of international soccer (which we will not name for fear of being sued) is upon us, so the Becks are taking a look at the soccer movie She's the Man, inspired by William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. How did Amanda Bynes give the world Channing Tatum? Should Bynes' character been allowed to be subbed off then subbed back on in the climactic soccer game?
