Bazza, We'd like to add transcripts and stuff, but keep in mind that we're now doing Movie Madness and Qing Wen once a week each, as well as a regular podcast every day, and we haven't gotten any extra staff or anything. So the additional resources may not be possible for the time being. Also, we have purposely been releasing Movie Madness at a somewhat "random" time sometime during Wednesday specifically to counter the time zone advantage. But the random drawing thing solves the problem as well.

Amber received a ton of correct guesses for this one, but just in case you were that one person that got it wrong, you can find the answer here. Amber picked the winner by choosing randomly from the correct answers submitted within the first 24 hours, and the winner is.... Scottyb! Scottyb, be sure to get in touch with Amber about claiming your prize. And congratulations.

peggy, 你同意aaronpan说的吗? "女孩子军训并不怎么艰苦,男孩子的训练和当兵就没有什么区别了"

I'm so disappointed. I really hoped it was written 脧 (zuō), but apparently that character is already being used to mean "reproductive organ of infant." True story. [Source: Wenlin]

Bazza, Thanks for pointing out those errors; I have fixed them all. In answer to your question, the pinyin for 已经 (yǐjing) is not wrong (although yes, you will hear "yǐjīng"... I imagine it's something like the pronunciation of often/ofTen in the USA). I have fixed 或者 (huòzhě).
