Wow that one’s even worse - the one I spotted is just like an auto-correct error.

I’m glad I’m not dependent on them but dreading if I have hearing loss in later life and still want to watch my movies. Especially with the rise of either AI or just not giving people long enough to do the job on streaming. There was a show on Disney+ called Wedding Season and because the app is terrible it kept playing with the subs on every time, and it was very obvious that if a person had written them it was a person who had never met an Irishman, or hell even anyone from outside the US, as the sub on the male lead were just incomprehensible
