    The Detective
    Nov 27 2025

    In the criminal justice system, the podcasts are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the authors who write novels and the producers who adapt them into films. This is one of those stories.

    The Becks continue their dive into hardboiled crime stories, this time with Roderick Thorp's 1966 novel The Detective and its 1968 film adaptation starring Frank Sinatra. In this episode, they discuss the LA rain, remember funny family names, and try to prevent Tobias from being a menace in the background. Enjoy!
