This harrowing drama was written and directed by Stephen Gaghan and features a star-studded cast with George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Jeffrey Wright. The threats are real, and America seems to be a lot of them as people put their thumbs on the scales of economy and justice. Let’s ponder the questions, “What level of corruption will create a facade of a functioning society? Is shadowy corruption better than a feudal state putting people to the sword? Are you depressed yet?”

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.
