Can someone tell me which episodes the Billy fights were on? I think they must have been before I started listening!

Billy makes me pull my hair out

I'd rather stab my ears with scissors than listen to another KATG review of Parasite. *plays Chemda's Hustlers review again *

Andrea should be on all Billy episodes. During the early malarkey neither Billy nor Chemda were making a whole lot of sense, completely missing what the other was saying, but when Andrea comes in it's like she's the bridge/translator between them and it gets kind of beautiful.

I also liked that the episode briefly became Next Week on Only In New York, even though Keith apparently not having already heard the fisting story shamefully outed him as a non-listener of that awesome podcast.

I was buying something using PayPal while listening to this episode. Now I can only read it as PayPig.

Thanks Billy.

I watch a lot of movies in Russian (with English subtitles when my wife watches with me) and 90% of the time subtitles are just fucking awful, neutered, and dumbed-down, probably due to onscreen speed. It would be cool to see if any native speaking people saw the movie and weighed in on the dialogue. I'm sure in a movie like that dialogue could make or break the movie experience.

Also, I'm yet to see Hollywood movie where character pretends to be fluent in Russian and be comprehensible, c'mon, they spend months on a single fight choreography but can't get a decent language coach.

I grew up with pretty much everything international being dubbed when it's shown on German TV. That's probably why I don't find it odd/weird/annoying because a) I'm so used to it and b) they usually do a great job with different actors having different voices (and famous movie stars always having the same voice actor in dubbing) but also in getting the dubbing as close to the mouth movements as possible.
I watch most English speaking shows in the original now because I speak it fluently but obviously not everybody is lucky enough to have that training.

And I agree with Lithunica it's super annoying if films have an actor pretend to speak a foreign language and totally butcher it - there must be plenty of either foreign actors you can hire for the task or at least use a foreign voice actor to dub it for them.
