114 - SHŌGUN review! Finally, East meets West without the CRINGE
In this week's episode we covered Bladerunner 2009 news, Stray Kids at the MET Gala, Scavengers Reign news, as well as mini-reviews for Challengers and X-Men '97, before moving on to our main review for the episode, Shogun on Disney+.
This period drama set in 1600s Japan offers a refreshingly tasteful and accurate blend of Eastern culture and Western aesthetics. It also is reminiscent of the journey of a lot of befuddled English teachers that we worked with during our own time in Japan.
Is this the future of Western Asian media? What would we like from a season 2? Let's discuss.
