In case you find those fictional characters dumb, primitive, and do not like Sacha, you also have to listen to it: you will be very much surprised, how dedicated and educated Sacha is and what he wants to provoke using this excentric style. I personally disliked Ali G in the first place. After a while I discovered the ingenious part of him. I started to very much like Sacha's characters and now I have a very high opinion on him. This episode confirmed my opinion. You are going to hear very funny incidents during the filming of several movies, why and how Sacha gets his deep knowledge of American law specifics, how many times he almost got sacked, arrested, or even killed and much more. So far, it's one of the best podcast episodes I ever listened to.
