This is the story of how I am like a polyglot or something cos I speak 5 languages... or 6 languages... or 2... or 1... or none... depending on whose side you're on and whether your definition of speaking a language is: "Can say hello..." or "Can summarise thousands of pages of documents in order to present a compelling argument to a jury in an uninterrupted 5 hour speech without once hesitating or using a filler word..."
Anyway I speak some languages and I speak some better than others... here is my polyglot story.

OK you've reached the end of an (admittedly short) description meaning you're here for the quiz question (answer in the comments!)
From what movie is my blooper reference at the end (there are several movies in the franchise so be specific!) _
My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic. RØDE is an Australian company and the only reason you don't see their microphones EVERYWHERE is that certain other brands spend more on marketing. I have recorded music with my podmic, and I have a music degree. That's how much I trust the audio quality.
If you want the mic that plugs directly into your computer via USB, they have the Podmic USB.
This is the black version: https://brandstore.rode.com/products/podmic-usb?sca_ref=7915119.qd860tcG8Q
This is the white version: https://brandstore.rode.com/products/podmic-usb-white?sca_ref=7915119.qd860tcG8Q
If you don't need the USB function (you have your own audio interface for XLR cable), you can use the cheaper versions:
https://brandstore.rode.com/products/podmic?sca_ref=7915119.qd860tcG8Q (black and silver, non-USB)
https://brandstore.rode.com/products/white-podmic?sca_ref=7915119.qd860tcG8Q (white, non-USB)
