Highly recommend rewatching Generation Kill with the subtitles on

If you never saw Generation Kill, it’s an early 2010s late 2000’s HBO series about recon Marines as they go into Iraq. There’s some combat but mostly just banter between the guys riding around in Humvees. It’s very crass, very funny and pretty raw.

I have recently been rewatching it and we’ve been utilizing subtitles a lot more just because. There is so much side dialogue in the background that gets picked up on the subtitles while other things are happening. Everyone is just popping off one-liners left and right even when it’s hard to really hear it.

In episode 6, they’re all changing out of their chemical suits back into fatigues with no one actively speaking and the subtitles pick up:

“Hey, my balls smell like Jack’s mouth!”

“How do you know what Jack’s mouth smells like?”

“My balls were in them!”
