ESL Podcast - Previous Episodes show

Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:15 Explanations: 3:07 Fast dialogue: 16:50 Cameron: What did you get for Christmas? James: I got a box set of my favorite TV show of all time, the McQ Files. It contains all five seasons of the show, deleted scenes, and outtakes. I can’t wait to watch it all! Cameron: Didn’t you see the entire series when it was shown on TV? James: I did, but the bonus features make it a must-have for a big fan like me. Cameron: I just don’t see why people spend good money buying shows they’ve already seen. James: Hey, wait a second. Didn’t you run out and buy the Podinator trilogy box set when it went on sale last month? Cameron: Uh, yeah, but that’s different. Those are movies, not TV shows. The Podinator box set had the director’s cut and commentary, not to mention never-before-released scenes. James: Hadn’t you seen all three movies when they were shown in the theaters? Cameron: Yes, but… James: And don’t you own all three movies on video already? Cameron: Well, maybe I do but… James: Then I don’t see why you needed to buy the box set. I think it’s best that you give it to me. Cameron: Touché. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
