Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Tony & Carl look at the rise and proliferation of subtitles in watching film and TV. More people are building them into watching even content in their own language, but why?

Plus! In what is also the first 'Bond Corner' in a while, they get into the potential censoring of content in classic Roald Dahl & Ian Fleming novels based on racial content. Should these books be changed or censored? And if they are, what can of worms does it open up?
