Goodness, Dot has herself running any which way but loose. In this episode of Fargo, The Tiger, we love to see how hard it is to cage a tiger (of any kind). Charpie thinks this was a Lorraine episode. Bill thinks it’s a  nice exposition on Dot, Lorraine, and Indira. Either way we welcome this as we plod our way through the story of debts and credits. What is really going with the story here, and what are we saying about how we view debt? Scoop up a wee bit of these early morsels on FX’s Fargo. Let us know what you think.

S5 – Episode 408 Dec 202301:10:51

We skip over all the spooky scary attempted kidnap stuff for some commentary about one phrase. After that, it’s on to pancakes and our understanding or the lack thereof about the Liar Paradox. We even sneak in smidge of chat about actual elbow macaroni hotdish. This is why we do it folks. Dig into a quick take on Insolubilia on FX’s Fargo season 5, episode 4. Go Tigers!

S5 – Episode 301 Dec 202301:14:44

In The Paradox of Intermediate Transactions, we get all sorts of fun information. Roy’s got some work to do for Oden to try get life back to 1776, Ole takes us on a journey back to 1522 (suck it 1776), and everyone seems to find out Witt and Olmstead are not giving up the thread of this case.

Oooo la la, after we learn a bit more about Roy we dig into a heaping spoonful of Ole backstory. Is it Ole or Bryn? Or is it both? Either way It’s his home now. Dot is saddened by the mandatory waiting period. It’s the witching hour, so eat your sins.

 

S5 – Episode 227 Nov 202301:07:05

Things are starting to heat up in 2019 on Fargo. On “Trials and Tribulations” we find a lot out about what kind of man Roy Tillman is and is not. The continued story of finding out that Dot is not to be messed with and maybe for good reason. She’s more than meets they eye. Just when the drum conspiracy theory starts, Charpie takes us on a Star Wars adventure. All this and more on Fargo Talks Fargo.

Welcome back to Fargo friends! We’re back for another season and the Fargo universe is rolling into 2019. Since this is aired right before Thanksgiving and FX gave us a double-header, we’ve combined  into one super duper hot dish. Things are looking grim for Ole and his partner when they attempt to kidnap worthy adversary, Dot. She’s not a housewife, she’s a tiger. Erstwhile, Roy…in his moist repose…is pulling thread to get Dot back. I guess this shows attending a school board meeting is bad news, ya?

Well gee dang it all…we seem to have come to another end to another season of Fargo on FX. Bill and Charpie talk about their final thoughts on the season. After we eased on down the road with the Fadda and Cannon crews, where have we ended up? Was this season up your alley or was it a ladder to nowhere? We try to resolve a bit of what we have seen this season. In the end, some are home gain and some haven’t quit found their home. The Goldilocks tales pokes its head into the story again via East/West. We hope we’ve manage to win a few friends and influence some people this season. Thanks for joining us again. All this for what? A little bit of money? Be well folks. Beware the Jabberwocky.

Yikes we work on reconciling the end of this season…no we don’t since it’s the hotdish. Both of us are a bit stunned by things and attempt to serve up our thoughts without going too deep into the main course. Are we satisfied? Only a rewatch will bring these things to light, man.  Send us your thoughts. Until the final breakdown, enjoy this Jell-O salad (don’t @ me. I know it’s not oranges). https://www.fargomoorhead.org/restaurants-bars/article/midwesterner-jello-salad/ Yummy!

 

S4 – Episode 1024 Nov 202001:21:55

We somehow connect this episode from Stevie Wonder to The Wire to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. You know, the usual stuff from us. Odis is still smiling on his way out. Bill can’t let go of Oz. Charpie is full-blown in cahoots with the duality of Raddoppiarlo. We can’t let it go. Sorry not sorry. Incredibly solid showing from Buel, Ethelrida, and Satchel.  Mild nautical theme pickups from Snowman and/or The Roach. Holding strong on that fact that it’s a curse NOT a saving entity for these women. It’s a dang slave ship asshat people, not a helper. Oh, did we mention deep context on gadfly? Join up on our journey. Grab your footing and keep your pistol holstered. Scarecrows and such. Happy now?

S4 – Episode 10 – Hotdish23 Nov 202000:15:37

Fresh off a twister of an episode last week, we find ourselves learning about Happy in episode 10 of Fargo Season 4. We’ve got a double cross by cousins, our two possible “Dorothy” characters emerge at their own crossroads in a new world, and a pair of characters disappear from this earth. Like Rick Astley, we are never gonna give you, Raddoppiarlo, up this season. Dueces…Aces…you choose. Don’t forget the lingering specter of Theodore Roach. That is an evil even Oraetta can’t handle. Deals are being made.

S4 – Episode 918 Nov 202001:20:27

How can we even start this show breakdown. East/West Fargo Episode 9 is a fully-packed episode. Likely our biggest Oz payoff of the season. Houses divided. Tin Woodman, Hickory in search of oil, sister racist witches, and a dang unfinished billboard. What are guys like Rabbi and Satchel to do in this crazy mixed up world. Calamity ensues. Snowman comes back at the end (of the podcast not the episode). The future is now! Just not for Omie or Willy. We can try help. Join us on this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo at we celebrate Satchel’s birthday. Happy Birthday, young man!

S4 – Episode 9 – Hotdish16 Nov 202000:17:15

Things aren’t always as black and white as they seem in the episode of Fargo. In episode 9 East/West, we journey with Rabbi and Satchel to Liberal, KS to see where they are hiding out. We see Omie set his snare. Oddly, Satchel and Rabbi stay at another “house” that is divided. Things spin up quickly near the end. The future is now, folks! WTF does that even mean?

S4 – Episode 810 Nov 202001:07:59

In this episode, The Nadir, on Fargo Talks Fargo the guys break down what’s going with nadir. Bill pronounces the word improperly but Charpie deems it nice and fancy. We share fun facts about a record in the episode from Duke Ellington. Who is at a low point? What was the actual order Odis received from the caller? That dang Snowman has got more than a button nose. More numbers this week and we wrap up with some poetry sent in via Regina. So long, Swanee! Timothy…see you later law man.

S4 – Episode 8 – Hotdish09 Nov 202000:15:18

Josto professes his love. Gaetano and Josto find a way to seal their deal. Loy sets things in motion when he realizes the brother have not self-destructed. Deafy and Odis team up for the bust of the episode only to have Snowman chill the whole situation out in his special way. Zelmare is off running. Who will she run to? Will Ethelrida and Lemuel have a chat but Dibrell warns against being friends with your captor.  Have a scoop while it’s hot.

This week we clear up that carrot controversy thanks to listener, Robert.  Keep the insights coming we love it. What is Lay Away all about? What is being put aside? Lions, tigers and Palominos, oh my! Charpie delves into a large prediction of fan fiction.  Join us as we break down episode 7 of Fargo, Season 4. Does anyone read these?

S4 – Episode 7 – Hotdish02 Nov 202000:17:44

Welcome to another episode of Fargo Talks Fargo and the hotdish. In this episode we see Oraetta get her groove back, Loy and Josto play angles that don’t seem to be understood by their crime family and the “word” is out about Satchel. Gaetano is aware of Josto’s play. Will more fun ensue? Charpie thinks phone lines are messy. Serving up our strange style of Midwest. Have a scoop why don’t ya?

S4 – Episode 627 Oct 202001:04:48

Bill and Charpie break down Episode 6 Camp Elegance in this episode. Fan mail and theories abound. The Wizard of OZ references will not be going on away to strap in. Ethelrida has a creepy birthday. Charpie launches his new podcast “Deafy and the Carrot” but Bill isn’t so sure.  Is Oraetta a witch? Is America the Wizard? Loy has some interesting art about beheading. Josto is a messy boy. All this and fun chat about Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. Aw jeez…that’s a lotta stuff. Shout out to Will Clinger.

S4 – Episode 6 – Hotdish26 Oct 202000:16:17

Happy Birthday Ethelrida! Charpie notes the quicker pace and staccato movement this episode 6 of Fargo. Camp Elegance shows the movement of the gears of war picking up pace. Odis gets a shower scene straight out of the movie Fargo. Gaetano gets bested by the ladies on the lam. Dr. Harvard gives Oraetta a stern talking that mostly goes nowhere. In the end, Antoon has a tough decision that isn’t rewarded.

 

S4 – Episode 520 Oct 202001:19:30

In an episode of speeches, Bill and Charpie lament only slightly about too much of said speechifying (it’s a word we swear). We learn about Paris of the Plains and that the guys don’t know much about boulevards. They still can’t let go of the Wizard of Oz and have some serious relations. Be sure to listen to the bitter end. Some new information has come to light, man. Join us in this episode of FTF while Charpie breaks down Puccini. So very much going on here. Yup. RIP Doctor Governor. Bill misses you already.

S4 – Episode 5 – Hotdish19 Oct 202000:20:03

Holy jeez. What the heck is going on? Bill is very distraught about this episode. He’s not ready to let go of Clarence Royce of the Wire. The gents chat about Glynn Turman. The end of wisdom is upon us. All of this, a bunch of deep signs, and bourbon on this episode of the hotdish. Vissi d’arte!

S4 – Episode 413 Oct 202001:09:31

Just another normal week here, ya know. Fargo continues in this fourth episode of the fourth season with some spooky, spooky business. It’s chilling to see what happens here so grab a pair of mittens.  Bill and Charpie seem to linger on the concept of songs about drummers versus the use of youngster percussionist in war. Keep your eyes peeled as this is a double double again we think. Can’t keep up? Pair, Paris, or pear either way we feel like we are twinning. Paring this all down we offer bonus points for catching our random audio references.

S4 – Episode 4 – Hotdish12 Oct 202000:15:28

Great Caesar’s ghost! What the heck was that creepy fella doing on the stairs at the Smutney house? Charpie reveals his bird theory around Oreatta. Bill agrees it is a solid play. Strange note: why was the guy shoveling snow that didn’t need to be shoveled. Hot and fresh. Enjoy.

 

S4 – Episode 306 Oct 202001:01:06

Get ready for some double double double action in this full breakdown of Raddoppiarlo. Bill has an epiphany about the show title but still struggles to pronounce it correctly. Charpie digs into the dark history of the Nuremberg trials. The guys also mix in some discussion again about the play of religion and extra-natural forces at work in the Fargo universe. Bonus material is where to find a good cigarette vending machines in the late 80s, Wizard of Oz and ruby slippers.

S4 – Episode 3 – Hotdish05 Oct 202000:14:45

Fresh off skipping classes in Italian, the guys attempt to pronounce the third episode’s show title, Raddoppiarlo. It doesn’t go well. Charpie brings things to the Disney universe and Bill is perplexed but agrees it is worth some more thought. Religion is afoot in many areas of the show. Plus some quick chat about food again! Here is a picture of Peg-leg Pete too.

 

S4 – Episode 203 Oct 202001:03:12

In this episode, The Land of Taking and Killing, Bill and Charpie discuss the lion in the cage. Who is it? We meet some jail-weary travelers in Zelmare and Swanee. Ethelrida is clearly getting under Oraetta’s skin so she decides to make Ethelrida her new pet project. Here’s to hoping that it doesn’t end up like Mr. Cosmopolis. They guys talk about Gaetono’s performance. Also try the calzones. They are a riot! Also pizza talk from the midwest to your podcast door.

S4 – Episode 02 – Hotdish02 Oct 202000:15:32

This week sure feels fuller than a fella at a lutefisk feed. Charpie and Bill dish up a little bit of action on episode 2. Somehow they end up reminiscing about Don Draper and smoking. Bill needs people to start dying so he doesn’t have to keep so many names straight. All this and a shocking supper-time moment for the guys in the end. Warm it up, folks!

Well wouldn’t ya know it, Noah and crew at FX and Fargo have jam-packed the episode full of history and nuance. Bill and Charpie discuss the meeting of so many characters. Also what’s up with swapping kids like 80’s Topps playing cards? Jeez, Bill would trade his 1950 Josto for a mind Rabbi 1950s Fargo playing card.  Is Nurse Mayflower our new Lorne Malvo? Has Mayflower met her match in a quick-witted Ethelrida. Who’s is the man in the street after Thurman Smutny wants to read his teenage daughter The Wizard of Oz? So many questions and so much information to keep and gather. Also, WTF is every 5 feet 10 inches about? Joplins, Herbst, and so much more. Gee dang it all, Noah. Let’s go!

S3 – Episode 1026 Jun 201701:38:45

Bill and Charpie wrap up a fantastic season 3 of FX’s Fargo. This aggression will not stand, man. Wrench and Nikki take action against the V.M. Varga crew at a storage facility. Emmit realizes he is not food, especially not a can of Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup that the guys can’t stop talking about. Feel free to rawhide a can for us. Gloria resigns, takes back her resignation, and moves on to a higher government calling. Oh, plus Sy attends a holiday party good as new (sans cup of tea). Thanks to the cast, crew, and all involved in another entertaining season of Fargo. And thanks to all the listeners of Fargo Talks Fargo for tuning in.

S3 – Episode 10 – Hotdish22 Jun 201700:26:25

Ermagerd…we can’t believe this is the end of season 3. Bill and Charpie lament the ending of the hotdish. Send some hope into the world that Noah Hawley wants a season 4, will ya? We chat (briefly) about the season finale and fall into madness, cream of mushroom soup, and Charpie shows us his rap skills. Enjoy your dish. Ok then.

The guys get into a discussion about what it all means. Important stuff, like will a Blender Bottle make a decent Margarita. The answer is yes. Fargo S3, Episode 9 “Aporia” has us moving back to symmetry in cinematography with a nice does of reflection. Charpie wonders if the crime bosses should just figure out how to forge signature rather than go through all the trouble of murder. Bill wants to know what it all means. You know, like life and stuff. Is a fake grenade nepravda? This pressing question and more happen on the episode of Fargo Talks Fargo.

S3 – Episode 9 – Hotdish15 Jun 201700:22:45

Bill and Charpie invent a new opening song. Things get deep when we talk about Village Inn breakfast. What does this have to do with Fargo? Nothing, but we like breakfast. Nikki shows her own brand of swagger and we talk unicorns of the sea. Get the dish while it is still hot! Pray for the Moe Dammik zamboni death.

S3 – Episode 811 Jun 201701:10:13

Fargo’s Episode 8 “Who Rules the Land of Denial” brings us back to the chilling Fargo we all know and love. After a bit of a slow play, episode 8 ramps up the body count and tension. In a start first half, we follow the journey of Nikki and Wrench as the attempt to escape the animal farm crew of Yuri, Meemo, and Nameless Dude. Bill believes many character have been in denial this season. Charpie seems to agree. We also find that Sy isn’t a fan of bitter ball tea, and Emmit is ready to chat. All this is wrapped up in this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. F*ck it Dude, let’s go bowling.

We were super lucky to chat again this season with Maggie Phillips, the Music Supervisor for FX’s Fargo. Season three has been just as great as last year and Maggie walks us through a bit of the behind the scenes work that goes into picking music. Maggie hangs with us as we cover Fargo, nonsensical Italian-American songs, stories about Don Rickles, and more. Maggie chatted with us after episode 5 aired and gave us a few hints about upcoming music and thematic ideas. Tune in!

The guys break down Episode 7 “The Law of Inevitability” on this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. Both Bill and Charpie go back and forth about what they think Nikki Swango is really up to. And what’s up with that bear? Why is VM opening the gifts? Sy breaks down during his Mr. Rogers work to home clothing swap, but shows his heartfelt humanity during the process. Gloria and Winnie deal with idiot men (no shocker there). All this and more. Enjoy!

S3 – Episode 7 – Hotdish01 Jun 201700:27:08

So many scenes and so little time on the hotdish to discuss it all. Dammick is the climate change denier of good detective work, Bill thinks that Nikki is a still a cat, and Charpie continues his deep web of conspiracy theory. Both guys are excited to see Russell Harvard on the show again. If you don’t know, look him up. Hello, Mr. Wrench! Simmer down…it’s a photo from season 1.

Fargo’s Season 3, Episode 6 “The Lord of No Mercy” takes us to a few deep places we didn’t expect. Bill and Charpie find themselves still talking about pravda and nepravda as VM spins tales. Meemo is a fine instrument, while Yuri is blunt. All this and more on the full breakdown this week. Plus, fun with email subject lines in the mail grab bag. Bill starts a new metal band as well. Enjoy!
