The first rule of Movie Madness is that you always follow a “chick-flick” with a “guy film”. And this week’s installment isn’t as easy as last week’s either. Elementary students might get the gist of what’s going on, but we’re guessing you’ll need to be a healthy Intermediate before most of the dialogue falls into place. This is a great movie by Dave’s favourite American director: part four in Mystery Movie Madness.
As before, your challenge is to recognize the Hollywood film based on a short audio clip. We try harder (hypothetically) not to give away the answer this time….

After our poorly received but critically-hailed “silent film week”, we’re back in the saddle with a new mystery for language-loving movie-goers. And the good news is that this installment is pretty easy. But is it easy enough to be called Newbie-level? You tell us: here’s part three in our (now) ongoing feature: Mystery Movie Madness.
Once again, the question is… can you recognize the Hollywood movie based on this audio clip?? Bonus points if you figure out the answer before John “master of cinema” Pasden hits the jackpot.

Has it really been…one year today? 52 shows that started good and kept getting better and better with each publication? You’d better believe it…and join us, as we’re joined by the gals and one of the ’suits’ (who knows more about naughty nightwear than all of us!).

Hi guys,
Just wanted to inform everyone that the RSS feed is finally fixed! All the filenames and mp3 tags are in order as well. I’d advise everyone to re-subscribe to the feed and grab the correct mp3 files.
To get it to work on your iTunes,
(1) Copy the URL link: extra.chinesepod.com/feed
(2) Open up iTunes and go to “Advance” > “Subscribe to Podcast” section
(3) Paste the URL link: extra.chinesepod.com/feed on the box provided and press OK
You should now get the Saturday Show podcast list post V3 (April 14 onwards)!
Also, due to Youtube problems with Wordpress, we’d put up a link in each podcast instead of an embedded player. We’ve also put up our Youtube channel link on the right hand sidebar.
Have fun everyone! 
- Eileen
If ‘Changes’ are good enough for the likes of David Bowie & Shannon Hoon, then they’re good enough for us: CPod Youtube Video
What’s changed?
- We’re now recording from another studio…except that you can’t see that…because (change #2):
- Aric bought a new HD camera (JVC HD, but can’t get his Mac to convert the files and is offering up a ChinesePod T-shirt to whomever helps him), but can’t use the files he shot, meaning (#3 comin’ up):
- He’s recording from his home…but the audio podcast is still there, which Jenny talks about:
- Not changing her clothes…while Aric talks about:
- Changing the entire structure/layout/location/direction of the Greatest Saturday Show In The World…but we need your help
…and loads of other things that have to do with change.
But the biggie is #5 – while the move to V3 was good from a language acquisition perspective, it didn’t do much in terms for getting the word out about our little show; so please, offer up any advice you might have…it’s not often we admit we can’t do things on our own, enjoy it.
