Hello everyone and welcome to this spoiler review for show gun episodes one and two that are currently

streaming on ethics and Hulu here on the outlaw nation. I am the outlaw of John Roca.

Joined today by my co-host on the Cinephiles,

a man who is very steeped in the knowledge

of James Clovell and of the original source material for this book,

Shogun, my friend and co-host on the cinephiles,

Steve Morris.

Steve, how are you?

I am really good and I'm so glad that we're doing this.

It's funny funny I just

texted you to say hey how is show gun and you said you want to do a show and I'm

like yes yes I do because as you said like these are these books were

very important to me the original mini series was very important to me the original miniseries was very important to me this is big stuff you know yeah

you speak of the miniseries certainly in 1980 this miniseries was massive for those of us

who are old enough to remember it starring

Richard Chamberlain and oh my God why can't him a foodie the great to share of a

foodie from the from a Kira Kurosawa's films and numerous other films himself and so you had a lot of royalty going into that series and although you have

here karate here kosmo Jarvis not necessarily on the same level

as Richard Chamberlain was back there in 1980,

but no less of an interesting choice

as an actor, an interesting approach to this character of Blackthorne.

So we're going to get into it here in this review.
