"I really think we should do a film people have seen." Echo had been nursing her reservations for the last hour. There we were standing in the studio just about to record a special hour long Christmas show devoted to experimental 20th century French cinema. Dubbed Chinese clips of segments from Blood of a Poet and Testament of Orpheus were queued and ready to go. We had even forced Brendan into an old, matted bear costume to add a certain je ne sais quoi to the proceedings."Perhaps she's right," Brendan's muffled voice sounded weary. "I'm not that familiar with experimental film, and it's really hot in here." And so faced with the prospect of a staff mutiny, we backed down and switched to this Hollywood film. We're guessing you've seen it, but can you guess the movie from nothing more than its mandarin dub? If so get your guesses in to echo@popupchinese.com. A month of free premium access to Popup Chinese is up for grabs. Keep it for yourself, or give it away to someone else as a special Christmas present.

paglino9 - there is never a good excuse to grow a beard. Good podcast otherwise, although I have no idea what the movie is this week.

nice podcast. I think I've also guessed this one, although it took me quite a while to see through the misdirection.
