Shōgun

I

gotta say, though, like, oh, I think we should do a different one for Shogun season two.

Yes.

Because I think it's Top Knots and Man Buns.

There was a lot of what happened with that show after season one really started to kind of lose its luster in the public eye.

And they have Shogun, obviously, which we're very much looking forward to Season 2, which will be a 10-year time jump into the future.

10 years? Yeah, dude.

Not sure how they're pulling this off, but I'm excited for it.

I remember season one and being so...

Did you ever watch the show Ronin? Or what was it called? I think it was called Ronin.

Fuck.

I don't know.

On FX?

Yeah.

Are you talking about Shogun?

Shogun.

Yeah.

And Shogun, like, I didn't...

Shout out to Shogun because I think it's a beautiful show.

Done very well.

And there are a few very intimate moving scenes in Shogun related to sake.

So...

Yeah, I think there are a couple films, but there must be other instances where sake show up in movies, like sake bombs.

Yeah.

And I will say right now that I think the number one thing that I'm willing to concede that the show does that isn't totally accurate, which I don't need this to be totally accurate in order for me to like it or whatever, but it's that this paints, obviously, an extremely rosy glow over, first of all, the philosophy of the samurai, which there's a lot that's cool about, but also their political goals.

In the movie, it's like we, the samurai, All we want to do is die for the emperor and for our people.

That's all we're interested in doing.

But it it very explicitly doesn't go so far as to like the obvious comparison to me is like, oh, so we should feel pretty bad for wiping out the Indians because they also probably had valuable cultural traditions that we didn't understand.

The movie does not go there.

It shows you that about the samurai, but it very explicitly feels like it's distinguishing the samurai from the natives, which I thought was funny.

That's funny.

All right.

At 70, we've got Widows Bay at 69, Brooklyn Nine-Nine at 68, Barry at 67, Dexter 66, House of Cards 65, New Girl 64, Big Bang Theory 63, Shogun 62, Watchmen 61, Dark.

Yes.

Okay.

Um, Barry, you never seen Barry, just be prepared for some unbelievable like moments.

Um, there's like, you know, car chases and, and battle scenes and a feral child and, and you know barry is like a wacky like acid trip ride sort of show but um it's very compelling it's the it's basically a hitman who wants to become an actor instead of being a hitman and right man life just keeps absorbing him

there you go it keeps getting pulled back in the biggest gainer in this group is Shogun going from 86 up to 63 barely hilariously almost patching passing Watchmen, which tumbled 23 spots versus Shogun's gain of 23, but they crashed right at the center at 62 and 63.

That's crazy.
