055 Laying the Ghosts At Last - Bass Reeves Ep 7 & 8
19 JUL 2024 · Bass is coming to the end of his trail.
And it has to do with the ghost that has taken up residence inside his head - Esau.
That insidious speech: I, the Evil Guy - am not so different from you, The Good Guy who has messed up a bit along the way in the pursuit of good.
The thing where cruel people doing cruel things to make their personal life better is somehow equated with good people trying to reduce cruelty in the world. And those people dedicated to making things less cruel, becasue they are suckers for redemption fall for this bit of hogwash. And let it eat at their brains.
And this is where we find Bass. Fighting his way out. Trying to do good, and not go down that sticky black hole. Godspeed Bass.

How to Make the Coolest Man Lose Control - Bass Reeves Ep 6
12 JUL 2024 · So you're a good guy. You know you've made some mistakes along the way - and you SOMEHOW got away with it. But you've made your way most of the time following the rules, dealing Justice - and bringing folks to Justice, or bringing Justice to folks.
But our man Bass - it's all off kilter now. He's lost his way, and Justice somehow is no longer the way to redemption. In fact, it seems to be feeding Evil.
What's a man to do when a ghost takes up residence in your head - and no one can understand that the world seems off it's center?
What's a man, a law man, a Freedman to do?
Go a little mad it seems. Come along for the the ride and the hunt. Stay for the history commentary.

Carnivals & Trance Music - Bass Reeves Ep 5
5 JUL 2024 · The 19th Century contains so much of what the modern age is - and we get to see some of the stranger aspects in this episode…
The Medicine Show or Carnival with spiritualism, menageries and mountebanks.
And then the merging of the ancient work songs with the modern era - to create the soundtracks we now live with.
And of course, the beginnings of traveling to go some place - just to see it.
The idea that the world is a big giant place filled with wonders we have never imagined coming to a town or a room near you - where “you” is just a regular person - rather than a fabulously wealthy person… That is a huge legacy of the 19th Century.
As is the frontier lawman - which is why we are hanging out in the world of Bass Reeves.
We slosh around in a few metaphors... and Esau (Barry Pepper) rises boack to the top like the scum he is to start haunting our man.

On the Trail with Bad Bad Guys - Bass Reeves Ep 4
28 JUN 2024 · So is Bass Reeves the inspiration for the Lone Ranger - or not? Or does it not matter that much in the end.
For as much as people like to look back on the past, on the 19th century as simpler times with more direct paths and clearer values...
Turns out it was not. There were fewer distractions sure, but there were still hard decisions that had to be made, becasue people were just as much out for themselves then as they are now, and perfectly willing to justfy it then... just the way they do now.
In the midst of that - Bass is trying to sort out - how do I be the Good Guy?

21 JUN 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.

Blazing Saddles - Naughtiness Returns to the Movies & We Get the "R"
14 JUN 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.
Saddle Up!

The End... Or Is It? Is there a Shogun Multiverse Now? - Shogun Ep 10
7 JUN 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.
And don't forget to join us next week for something fun!

Death & Other Heart Breaks - Shogun Ep 9
31 MAY 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

Of Course It's A Trap - Shogun Ep 8
25 MAY 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.
