In this episode, we consider some cultural studies perspectives on several intriguing stories. We explore how an Australian voice actor channels her 'inner Cate Blanchett' for Japan's high-speed train announcements. We also analyze Prime Video’s adaptation of “Like a Dragon: Yakuza,” focusing on the omission of the iconic song “Baka Mitai” and the subsequent clip of Kiryu singing it. We discuss the fascinating article “5 Words We Got by Misunderstanding Fictional Characters” from Cracked.com. Finally, we examine the news of “Alien: Romulus” being released on VHS in December.
