Bald Move Prestige is where the best of the best come to shine. In the Prestige podcast, we talk about serious dramas, excellence in filmmaking, and everything in between; on television or on the big screen. Prestige doesn’t cover sci-fi, but if that is your thing, you might be looking for Bald Move Pulp.
This episode of Shogun begins with the carnage of the previous episode. A.Ron and Jim bring the show coverage you crave. When the meat cart is full, someone is going to pay. Mariko’s family name is revealed. Blackthorne is given a chance to leave…maybe.
Love Lies Bleeding (2024) is a body-building, sapphic romance with unexpected turns. Katy O’Brian is on track to become a 3C Badass. From director Rose Glass (Saint Maud) comes a darkly funny and action-packed movie that transforms as the characters do. It’s bad haircuts all around, but it’s the 80s, what do you expect? Blink if you’re ok, Kristen.
Jim and A.Ron are here to entertain and analyze the latest episode of Shogun. Is Toranaga about to be undermined by his own family? Speaking of family, Mariko’s family mystery probably means she has power behind her. Blackthorne is enough of a polyglot to piss people off. Do you know the origin of the term “loose cannon”?
This episode of Shogun has it all; assassination attempts, female warriors, and a random rifle shot. As the body count climbs, the desperation for power grows. A.Ron, master of sail, and Jim, master of nothing at all, are here to break down the surprising elements that are true to history.
Shogun introduces new characters which means new favorites for Jim and A.Ron to discuss. Get to know the intriguing backstories and motivations of the different people in their struggles for power and survival. When someone is coded a traitor this early, it makes the guys at Bald Move a little suspicious. Listen along as the plot unfolds.
The pilot, or Anjin, is a rapid introduction in the world of Shogun. A.Ron and Jim are excited to dive into seventeenth century Japan’s history and culture. This show presents a fully realized world that is both intense and beautiful. And it is surprisingly funny!
Ethan Coen sets out as a solo director once again to give us Drive Away Dolls. A quirky romp full of intentionally offensive humor, one unforgettable MacGuffin, and drug-fueled sequences. It’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you cringe. And Jim can’t think of any innuendos off the cuff…probably a good thing.
The next Bald Move First Run movie is Dune 2!
Shogun is hitting your Prestige feed! Shogun already has a long-time fan in A.Ron, and Jim is eagerly approaching this story for the first time. This FX show is based on the novel by James Clavell. If you are a fan of royal court based drama, think Game of Thrones, this is the next show for you.
The American Dream has always been just that, a dream. Death of a Salesman (1985) is based off of the 1949 Arthur Miller play of the same name. This adaptation features powerful performances from Dustin Hoffman and a young John Malkovich. It’s thoroughly depressing, but magnificent to watch. Have something funny in your queue for viewing after.
