Quite a few of the translations in the audio fix are also wrong.

A lot of your dialogues seems to take on this theme of one person preaching to another about something they're not doing carefully or correctly...almost in a mother and child manner. While occasionally interesting this theme is getting old fast. Please kill the naggers!

I remember being pretty blown away seeing that movie as a kid too. Good fun.

I like this series and I hope you guys do more fiction like this. One idea I had was for a detective series similar to the old time radio mysteries. You could follow the life of a disgruntled detective, for example. I think using fiction is a great medium because it takes you out of the "I have to study this now" mentality--you can just enjoy the story and learn without pressure. Learning the vocab also helps you to piece together what's going on in the narrative which leads to more involvement.

Amber is there nothing like the 7-11s or the other convenience stores in Shanghai? I rely so much on those it's insane.
