Summary

Jo and Rob return to break down the sixth episode of ‘Shogun.’ They discuss the effective use of flashbacks in this episode, the theatrics behind Toranaga’s political maneuvering, and how the show deftly deploys violence. Along the way, they talk about the growing jealousy that revolves around Blackthorne. Later, they’re joined by ‘Shogun’ series cocreators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo to talk about making sure the humor from the novel translated from the page to the screen, the power of Fuji’s reaction shots, why Toranaga was the perfect role for Hiroyuki Sanada to play, and much more.

0:09.3	a podcast that dives deep into one album per season examining the music, lyrics, and meaning of one song per episode.

1:26.4	so far. Yeah, exactly. Rachel and Justin were amazing. We only really intended to talk to them for like 20 minutes, but they were just so fascinating. And then I was like, should we cut the interview down? We both, we all three of us listened to it. We're like, ah, it's just gold. So you're getting the full thing, pretty much.
