114 - SHŌGUN review! Finally, East meets West without the CRINGE
May 21, 2024 Season 4 Episode 16
Danh and Thavy

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.
