reasons why i like uncle warren

The other week, someone showed me something called “Hobo With A Shotgun” on the Engine. But I was tired and bleary-eyed, and misread it as 'Hobo Shogun.’ I was, for a moment, happy that there was such a thing as “Hobo Shogun” in the world.

Weeks later, I am still inexplicably saddened that there is not a film out there called “Hobo Shogun.”
