Jim and I went to the outer reaches of the solar system with Ad Astra, the paradoxically slow moving, absorbing, thoughtful, but action packed sci-fi film starring Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones. We spend the better part of an hour talking about what we thought the film was about, and the strange, ultra-realistic yet dreamy quality to a lot of the proceedings. I think we both admired the film more than loved it, but I at least wouldn't be surprised if further contemplation (and watches) revealed some hidden depths.
We'll see you in two weeks for The Joker!

Film Reviews

It’s a slick episode of Shogun. Mariko, played by Anna Sawai, has been a stand out character since the pilot. In this episode she unleashes her full power and charges full steam ahead into battle. Yabushige is just as psychotic and humorous as before. Would he make a last minute “conversion” to save his own skin? It might be the laugh Jim and A.Ron need after this episode.

Shogun - S01E09 - Crimson Sky

Following their coverage of Kill Bill: Volume 1, Jim and A.Ron are back to cover Kill Bill: Volume 2 to complete the set. It’s an ultra-violent, ultra-visceral, ultra-Tarantino movie. Between the feet, blood, and swords, Jim and A.Ron try to dissect the enigma of this movie. Even seasoned action lovers should bring a barf bag.

Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004) 20th Anniversary

In this episode of Shogun, Jim and A.Ron clock the character changes. Toranaga is at the beginning of something great. Yabushige is ranking deaths. Mariko has a wicked kill. Blackthorne beats up his fellow sailors. There is change on the horizon for this world.

Shogun - S01E08 - The Abyss of Life

Dev Patel stars and makes his directorial debut this year with Monkey Man. This is a stylish movie from the costume design, to the music, to the fights. Jim and A.Ron were fully engrossed in the desperate violence and action that is woven through the story. If you’re a fan of slick action, this is the next movie for you to check out.

Monkey Man (2024)

Shogun just can’t miss. This episode recontextualizes some of the death-oriented attitudes of previous episodes. Jim and A.Ron, self-described aging prostitutes, are tackling this episode with all the fervor of someone preparing for battle. With ice cold lines, tragic backstories, and surprises bursting through the wall, this episode will have you on the edge of your seat.
