Promising Until a Questionable Edit in Episode 4
8 September 2020
I really liked the first few episodes and it really is enjoyable seeing props from the hit films; however, I saw something questionable in the Pirates of the Caribbean episode.

As the host was given a boat tour to see the rocks at St. Vincent, he was guided by a black captain who had a Caribbean accent (please forgive me if I don't know which specific one). The Caribbean man was speaking perfect English and the accent wasn't even that thick but he was given subtitles. The audio was perfectly fine too.

Moving on the the next scene/guest, Mr. Francois, a white man who was an extra on the film had a stronger accent than the captain, yet was given no subtitles.

Maybe I'm overreacting and reading into it too much but frankly, I was dismayed when I saw that contrast.

I want to be proven wrong if I seem to be making assumptions.
