This episode serves as a means to an end for the relationship between Jack and Ashi. Soon they find a monster chasing them and they must prepare to fight. As a sandstorm encompasses them, they take shelter in a crashed alien ship. Their affection for each other continues to grow. The action has Jack and Ashi constantly finding themselves in awkward situations in the midst of the fighting.Įventually Jack and Ashi abandon the camel and continue through the desert on foot.
With an obviously evil right from the get-go ninja cat army here to provide action scenes. Eventually they find transport via giant alien camel and romantic jokes/shenanigans ensue. Jack ( Phil LaMarr) and Ashi ( Tara Strong) are continuing their journey and stop in an Arabian-esque town to eat. The latest episode of Samurai Jack is essentially a vehicle to set up a romance. (Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, and Bon Jovi are among the constant musical presences in my family.) What a world we live in. Unless of course you have a family that is fiercely proud of its cultural roots (Italian-American in my case, as Dean Martin’s real name is Dino Paul Crocetti) and makes sure to introduce you to classic music at an early age. I promise you, in spite of watching this episode multiple times for this review, the entrance of one of Martin’s signature songs, Everybody Loves Somebody, always catches me off guard because of how unbelievable it is that television executives would allow it when most people today likely have no idea who Dean Martin is and have never heard his incredible music (sadly). I didn’t know Samurai Jack mixed with Dean Martin (Songs: That’s Amore, Ain’t That a Kick in the Head? Movies/Television: At War with the Army, The Dean Martin Show) is something I wanted but now it’s here.
