The 19th Century - the American Spirit really comes from here.
Fighting, Food, Fashion & Fraud
Plus mayhem, bombast, fornication, mendacity, debauchery, slander, sensationalism and vapid triviality... and swearing.
Yet it's the least understood American century - far more than the Civil War, the Railroad & Cowboy Movies. Through 20th & 21st century TV & Movies, Jamie Lewis of Plague Of Strength & Greta Hardin of The History of American food will take up on a wild ride through the most exciting parts. These history junkies will talk you through a wild assortment of media as we discuss things like:
physical culture & body buildingmedicine showscarnivals & the circussex workorganized crime& ever so many fightsPlus the 19th century is the source of: artificial purple dye, electricity, coast to coast instant communications, gas lighting, photography, the bowie knife, the colt revolver and the gatling gun, cardboard boxes, cigarettes, refrigerated train cars, bodybuilding as entertainment, modern gymnastics, all the current fighting sports, the submarine, and the very first automobiles.

Death & Other Heart Breaks - Shogun Ep 9
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.

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

Emo Lyrics & Silly Hats - Shogun Ep 7
Curious George should have taught us - be wary of the man in the unusual hat. But we just won't learn.
Good stories, expert neeling and why does everyone feel the need to share their relationship woes in the midst of the most tenuous moments?
Kilingon revelations & more Zombie Buntaro for all of us to enjoy,
