21 GIU 2024 · If you already miss Donald Sutherland, or want to see him in a role where he's doing his best Donald Sutherland, come join us in watching Bass Reeves. David Oyelowo had this story he wanted to make and share... and for some reason Hollywood wasn't ready to do a story that rotated on the axis of a black lead Lawman. But with the success the 19th century stories around Yellowstone  the same money decided this was worth a shot. So WE - with you - get to follow along on the story of the first Black U.S. Deputy Marshal west of the Mississippi.   So come along to this complecated world that is shot so gorgeously in the area where Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma come together.  And see all the new problems and coalitions and choices and ideas that are all happening in this wild and vibrant place and time.

14 GIU 2024 · And now for "Something Fun" Technically not in the 19th C last round... too early And now we blow right by the 19th C and end up in the 20th C. What is WRONG with us?  Well, after all the death and blood, it's time to watch no blood and all the jokes.  Mel Brooks takes on the The Western as an institution, as well as the Hollywood Production codes, which had just been axed in the early 60's to be replaced by the voluntary rating system we see today - G, PG, & R (General, Parental Guidence & Restricted) But before those were solidified, Mel Brook went out to the Back 40 and skewered all the tropes, and made decades of people giggle at boundary pushing naughtiness.  And you'll get to see how the "prim and proper" plus cowboy mythology is still painting us today - even if just by giving us stuff to rebel agains or fight over.

7 GIU 2024 · So we've come to the end of Shogun - a story that both haunted and informed us in our younger years.   Racist, Orientalist - as a book, YES!  But this version. as far as I'm concerned redeems the Entire Venture.  And as a 1970's work written by a former prisoner of war during the Japanese Occupation during WW2, writing a book trying to get into the somewhat legendary history of Japan - it did what James Clavell wanted, it introduced Japan as a complex society to America and Britain and it's still sprawling empire at the time.  Writing is hard, editing is much much easier.  Clavell's 1st try - needed some work, but somebody had to bust open the doors.  And Shogun did that. Now - how did the Blackthorne/Anjin-san story actually end?  Unclear.  But that's fine with me. Now let's all cheer for whatever H. Sanada has up his sleeve and hope it comes with All The Costumes.

31 MAG 2024 · Are Jamie & Greta fighting?  Is Mariko sad about her son no longer being hers - or did she just eat some bad fish, and never really cared?   But at least everyone can agree that Yabushige is the master of the expressive grunt, even if Fuji is the queen of eye-acting.  And we all know what's going to happen to Yabu next ep. Oh yeah... and we will be laughing at Ishido's expense as he steps on all the rakes.  Dames - can't talke to 'em, can't listen to 'em.  Listen and find out all the ways Anjin looks ridiculous (and yet somehow compelling?) this week As always - you can reach us on the internets.

25 MAG 2024 · I dunno what is up with this episode, but the comparrisons are flying fast and thick.  But what really matters is Greta's synopsis of Romeo & Juliet along with the implication that Toronaga is actually a bit of a Drama Queen and the analysis of Japanese house construction technology. There's the problem with what happens when you do try to go home again, and what happens when going into the trap is actually the best option.  Lots goes down in this Episode of Shogun... and we are here to tell you all about it.

17 MAG 2024 · Curious George should have taught us - be wary of the man in the unusual hat.  But we just won't learn.

19 APR 2024 · Doctors, Courtesans, Archery (and yes the English bowmen used the Yew Tree!) Tricky Bureaucracy - I tell ya, this show has it all. If there's one thing to learn, that husband is not out of the way until you see the body.  No presumptive closes with those people. But also, if you get motion sick - you CAN be too rich in feudal Japan. Once again - a lot is going down in the Kantō, in Osaka, in the Bay - and you want to be there to see it all!  So come join Greta & Jamie and see how we relate this visually sweet show to what we really care about in the 19th century.  I tell you, this is where it starts to get good.  Optional HW: Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel  You can find us: Jamie Lewis (https://plagueofstrength.com/& IG @plagueofstrength) & Greta Hardin (The History of American Food podcast & @THoAFood all over) Look for us weekly and on Instagram & Threads: @pcgpodcast
