Episode 9 | Bend It Like Beckham (2002)

This episode features a movie from Gabi's list: 'Bend It Like Beckham' (2002)! This film was an unexpected sensation when it was released, likely due to a combination of David Beckham's appeal and the fact that director Gurinder Chadha's passion and connection to the subject matter is very much on display. Everyone involved in this movie seems to be having fun, and the result is a sweet, unassuming, heartwarming, yet very memorable story.We cover lots of themes in this episode, including the impact of using deception as a tool to get what you want (and how it almost always implodes), the idea of our dreams and obligations being mutually exclusive, the meaning that parents tend to attach to their children's choices, and the amazing effect that openness can have on our ability to be receptive and learn new things.Thanks for listening! We'd be so grateful if you could leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts.Interested in connecting with Jessica or Gabi?
