Send us a text

Prepare for an epic clash of opinions as Dan and I tackle the cinematic spectacle that is "47 Ronin," with none other than Keanu Reeves leading the charge. This isn't your typical samurai tale; it's a whirlwind of fantasy, questionable character choices, and a wild Dogecoin gamble that's almost as fantastical as the film itself. You won't want to miss the fireworks as we go head-to-head over the film's rewatchability, the enchanting yet underutilized witch, and the mishandling of a hefty Netflix budget.

Venture with us into the murky waters of "47 Ronin's" often bewildering narrative choices, where samurai and sorcery collide with mixed results. The emotional weight of classics like "Gladiator" hangs over our discussion as we consider what elements could've bolstered this film's storyline. We don't hold back, pondering the cultural authenticity versus Hollywood glitz and the stumbles in engaging international audiences. Plus, we've got a full roster of other screen gems and blunders to dissect, from the reality-warping "Gogglebox" to the eerie authenticity of "Baby Reindeer."

Rounding out our cinematic rollercoaster ride, we sift through the confusion and entertainment that "47 Ronin" provides, questioning Tengu Forest's narrative oddities and the climax's chaotic escape. And for the aesthetically driven, we share thoughts on "Rebel Moon's" visual appeal despite its narrative shortcomings. So, whether you're here for the critique, the comedy, or simply to hear Dan and I spar over the merits of on-screen sorcery, you're in for a treat. Just press play and join the debate that's as sharp as a samurai's blade and as unpredictable as a witch's spell.
