The con is on! Makoto Edamura is thrown into a world of heists, capers and schemes bigger than he could ever imagine when he is introduced to Laurent Thiery and his crew of ragtag swindlers and hustlers. So too must Patrick enlist the help of Andrew, Jet and Lac to uncover the layers of the dub for Netflix’s newest anime crime drama Great Pretender. Does the English localization for the series get away with the loot, or is it a bunch of smoke and mirrors? Find out tonight on Dub Talk!

Ever find yourself wondering how a particular line was delivered in the studio, or which voice actor just absolutely nailed a challenging scene? Dub Talk digs into those details. This isn't just a checklist of what's new; it's a conversation about the craft and character behind the English adaptations of anime. We get into the performances that bring favorite roles to life, discussing the nuances that make a dub feel authentic or fall flat. You'll hear us break down episodes and films, talking about directorial choices, script adaptations, and the occasional brilliant or baffling casting decision. It's for anyone who appreciates the art of the dub, from seasoned fans to those just curious about what happens after the original recording booth. Tune in to the Dub Talk podcast for thoughtful, often lively reviews that go beyond the subtitles. We're here to talk about the voices you know, the ones you're about to discover, and the work that goes into making an imported story feel like it was spoken just for you.
