  1. Good suggestions above. One of my favorites is based in “modern” late 90s Japan. The Hunted(1995), staring Christopher Lambert and John Lone. Basically American businessman in Japan meets a woman, they spend the night together in their hotel, he accidentally walks in on a ninja assassination. They begin hunting him, a kendo master who is the last in the line of a samurai clan in a life long feud with the Ninja Clan steps in to protect him. Kodo (the taiko drum group) did the soundtrack. It’s a movie I loved as a teenager. I still quote plenty of lines from the movie to this day. Plus you get to see Joan Chen topless. Plus plus because I went to see what else they have been in. Lady Mariko from the 1980 shogun plays Samurai Takeda’s wife and archer.
  2. My wife and I had to pause it we busted out laughing so hard
  3. Subtly good finale. Great show, never read the book but I do feel robbed of an episode of the boat ride to Osaka.
  4. That was a wide open match. A far call from the Mou-Pep bloodfests
  5. About to watch the finale in a bit. Love this show
  6. Anyone else’s stream going crazy on the app?
  7. Also separate question, how many of yall that like this show have seen Scorsese’s movie Silence? I just learned of it this weekend and wonder if it’s any good and worth a watch if the wife and I love Shogun…
  8. My understanding was that Oni no Hanzo was a distinguished Samurai serving Tokugawa Ieyasu directly. And would engage in guerilla warfare and covert attacks leading ninjas on these raids. . But my understanding is far from fully knowledgeable
  9. Whew! On to Bayern. Hala Madrid!!! I still hate PKs
  10. God I hate PKs… I’m gonna be sick It is funny to hear Hey Jude while Bellingham is there!
  11. One who is a Samurai must before all things keep constantly in mind, by day and by night... the fact that he is going to die. Now I want to go rewatch the Hunted
  12. Shinobi were Japanese. Considered the dishonorable way by samurai since their roles was usually covert and mercenary in nature. Also their whole premise was to work in secrecy
  13. Fuck man… That whole episode was dusty in my house
  14. Couldn’t have been a better afternoon as a Madrid fan. Atleti out, Barca toasted! Now to stress out about tomorrow at UAE stadium…
