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”?
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!
AppleTV+’s For All Mankind Season 4 has reentered the atmosphere. As this season splashes down, Jim and A.Ron are here to discuss their thoughts and listener feedback. Hear about how actress Krys Marshall wanted this season to end for her character Dani. And finally, Jim and A.Ron have some hopes and predictions for the Season 5 we hope we get!
Jim is back! He and A.Ron are covering the season finale of AppleTV+’s For All Mankind. The principal characters are catching up to the audience, not always the most exciting thing. It’s a strong show, and even though this season may not have had the thrill of previous seasons, there’s still plenty to enjoy. Bye, Bob!
Since Jim is still crusty, B. Michael Krol steps up to co-host AppleTV’s For All Mankind with A.Ron. With the end of the season rapidly approaching, the threads are starting to tangle. Margot has a rendezvous with Sergei, the North Koreans wired the base for sound, and Ed might come clean to his daughter. Will the Goldilocks asteroid shake things up? Just like the real life earthquake that struck while we were recording?
Danny Ocean would be proud. Ed heads the illicit mission of stealing that Iridium asteroid. Where he excels in rogue activities, he fails at being a grandpa. Dani is being pushed to her limits, and with the greed surrounding her, can she remain the guiding light in the show? With only a little bit of runway left in the season, will Jim and A.Ron get all they’re hoping for?
Jim thinks it’s a return to form. A.Ron isn’t so sure this is going to bode well for the future of the show. Margot is making bold new steps. Are we starting down a Dark Margot plot line? With the revolt and Dev’s impending arrival, Mars is shaping up to be a rogue state. And Ed, please, that is ENOUGH cheese.
Is the fourth season of a show fated to always be the gas leak season? Ed is unemployed and is looking for a new angle. Maybe he has a bad case of Mars brain. Margot’s “resurrection” shocks Aleida. Can Aleida forgive her? And Jim and A.Ron are looking forward to Dev arriving on Mars!
If you’ve played Stardew Valley, you know the immense value of Iridium. There’s an Iridium asteroid and its capture would ruin global trading for Russia. Old Man Ed is destroying his relationship with Dani. Dev says good-bye forever. How would you hide someone on the Mars base?
Political tensions are high and attempted murder makes things worse! Dani finally unleashes on Ed. The Soviets soft launch a coupe. And Martian rock engagement rings are the next craze. Join Jim and A.Ron as they review the newest episode of For All Mankind.
