  • Ghost of Tsushima and The Modern Bushido Myth ft. Oleg Benesch | GHG Show - 2nd Takes

     Please consider supporting us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/glasshousemedia 

    “We call ‘em Weebs” - Alex CG 

    After our conversation about Ghost of Tsushima late last year we weren’t quite done thinking about the modern samurai myth. Alex CG (they/them) reached out to Oleg Benesch to chat a little more about how the interpretation could be inaccurate and potentially forward some unintended perspectives.

    (Quick note: CG makes a comment that the Japanese communist party is the biggest in the world, it is actually just One Of the biggest. Also, there's a comment about Japan not having a national lockdown, which was true at the time of recording).
