If you’re a fan of robots, AI, Asimov-ian scifi, this might be the movie for you. Following on the all-too-relevant theme of AI, The Creator tells the story of a future where a large part of the world has embraced augmented humans, and the other hates it. It’s visually arresting and sometimes tonally unbalanced, but it will leave you with plenty to think about. And it was a struggle to get into the theater, so thank Jim and A.Ron for braving the difficulties.

Now that Jim and A.Ron have seen both the 2024 and 1980 iterations of Shogun, find out how they stack up. Did NBC make a show of the same caliber and passion as Rachel Condo and Justin Marks? Will Jim and A.Ron dare to pick up the 1152 paged tome by James Clavell?

Shogun (1980) - Part 4

Shogun 1980 pulls an interesting detail from the book, both Mariko and Blackthorne communicate in Latin. Though the 2024 adaptation was superior, one thing it will NEVER have is John Rhys-Davies pitching a fit! The differences in Mariko’s portrayal in 1980 by Yoko Shimada and the 2024 version by Anna Sawai are evident. Get the dish on the good and the goofy in Shogun 1980.

Shogun (1980) - Part 3

There are a few bumps in the road in Shogun 1980. Bad wigs aside, this show doesn’t flesh out characters in the same way Jim and A.Ron were hoping for. Mariko, a fan favorite from Shogun 2024, is severely lacking. But where this show compensates is in the absolute bonkers directing. 
“Shogun” and Japonophilia
