I want to tell you my secret now.

I see death.

Silent trade in paper.

No, I am the father.

Oh, gosh, but... What's in the box? What's in the box?

You blew it.

You blew it up.

Damn you all the hell.

Hello and welcome to another Slate spoiler special podcast.

I am Dana Stevens, movie critic at Slate,

and today I am joined by Sam Adams, who's the senior editor of our culture blog, Browbeat,

to talk about and help me get this right, Sam, Borat's subsequent movie film, delivery of prodigious

bribe to American regime for make benefit once glorious nation of Kazakhstan. That's my very mild version of the Borat voice. I believe that's correct. They're actually like, we'll talk about this. There are like four different subtitles in this movie. So it's quite a dilemma for people who are sticklers about that. But I think officially that's what it ends up as. I actually have to say I love the title. I think the title is one of the funniest things about the movie, and I enjoy saying it, so I was glad to have the chance to.

So, of course, Borat's subsequent movie film is the 14 years later sequel to Sasha Barron Cohen's really kind of comedy industry changing, or at least in 2006 it seemed that way, first Borat movie. And maybe we

should start off. I feel like we need to put this in a little bit of a frame for those people who

might not have been, I don't know, old enough or somehow plugged in enough to have gotten

the hype around what the first Borat movie was in 2006. Do you have

anything to say about that? I mean, in terms of sort of contrasting what a borat one means to what

a borat two means? I mean, I think, you know, the first Borat was considerably, much as I hate to

use this term, it's inevitably we'll have to, considerably edgier in 2006 than this one is now.

I mean, it was a style of mostly kind of British comedy that started to come on, I guess, sort of in the late 90s, like the office, the British office was part of it.
