Shogun - S01E10 - A Dream of a Dream

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.

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.
