Fargo Talks Fargo

Aw geez, what the heck just happened there? Lemme just sit here and wait or what not. The guys record their reactions to Fargo Episode 6. What’s up with the bullseye? Why is Emmit so paralyzed to help? Meemo can be a snappy dresser.  A wolf head? Yeh you betcha. All the the hot news to dish up.

Bill and Charpie both worry a bit about Stella not noticing that it’s not Emmit going it to the lady in the hooker wig. We cover the House of Special Purpose and the relation (albeit poorly) to Emperor Nicholas II of Russian and their demise at the Ipatiev House. A deep discussion about VM’s bits in the mug and the origin of the liquid Sy drinks. Does Nikki have 9 lives? In the end Charpie makes a...

Welcome to another hotdish about FX’s Fargo. Some unwitting moves made by Nikki and Ray in their package drop. Speaking of packages…VM Varga finds another place to put his package. Best Mug Ever. What more can we say? Oh, yeah. That’s about it. Ok.   Thanks to our sponsor for this season,  Fargo Brewing Company . Visit their taproom, plan a trip and get here…just do it. You won’t regret it. Woodch...

The Narrow Escape Problem and Peter and the Wolf cross paths in this episode of Fargo. Charpie has a more singular view of narrow escape, while Bill applies it to many character situations. The fun of watching Ewan play a character playing a character was not lost on both guys. We dive into a strange cream soda and summer sausage chat, Burt Lurdsman is a strange name, and all sorts of other intere...

Aces to the narrator of this episode of Fargo. Nice to have a blast from the season 1 past on this episode mashed up with the talk of Peter and the Wolf. The guys talk about The Narrow Escape Problem, Charpie thinks Chief Moe is the grandfather more than Sy, and Bill insists on Campbell’s Soup in his hotdish recipes. Also more tampon talk and the intro of Winnie. The story pace will surely quicken...

Fresh off the airplane and rocking in a hotel lounge, Charpie joins Bill to break down episode 3 “The Law of Noncontradiction”. Does this episode mean anything, does it matter, or are we all just particles floating endlessly until we collide? The guys talks about it as well as Watchamacallits, and Bill bowling and eating Pizza Patrol with Don Hertzfeld. We also connect Barraboo, Wisconsin, last se...

Bill is joined by Jerome again for the hotdish this week to quickly chat about Fargo Season 3, Episode 3. We get the backstory from the newspaper clipping as Gloria heads to Hollywood on an investigative journey. We meet young Thaddeus, Howard, and the lovely Vivian. There is cocaine and a diner. Basic Hollywood, right? Oh, and some Arby’s. Thanks to our sponsor for this season,  Fargo Brewing Com...

Fargo Season 3, Episode 2 “The Principle of Restricted Choices” builds on the previous episode opening the world of Fargo up even more. Charpie joins Bill via Japan this week to talk about the building storyline. The guys revel in a moment about the midwestern quality of passive aggressive conversations mirrored in Ray and Emmit’s late night conversations. Irv needs more than IT help. Nikki channe...

Warm up the oven for some tasty hotdish. Bill is joined by another Fargo-raised host, Jerome, this week while Charpie wings his way to Japan. Jerome loves Sy’s spot on accent and mannerism, Bill just wanted somebody to pee on the rug, and we learn from Nikki Swango about one  way to leave a nasty notes. Thanks to our sponsor for this season,  Fargo Brewing Company . Visit their taproom, plan a tri...

Bill and Charpie dive into the world that is the first episode of season 3 of Fargo “The Law of Vacant Places”. Bill can’t help but continue the trend of Big Lebowski references and makes some strange prognostications (STFU Bill…er…Donny). Charpie holds down the sanity of the episode with memories of Red Owl bags. Was Ennis watching season 2 of Fargo on his tv? Was that really a Hugo award? Will B...

Bill and Charpie are back for what will be another fantastic season of FX’s Fargo and Fargo Talks Fargo. This season kicks offs with a few changes from the guys about the full show breakdowns moving to Sunday recordings and release. Both are happy to see the Fargo cast and crew off the a great start. East Berlin? AC units falling from the sky? More crime and murder? Sounds like another good time o...

Bill and Charpie answer post-show questions they have been receiving. They also pick the winner of the Fargo survival kit and announce a few more prizes that will be going out to six “lucky” winners.

Include in the podcast feed is Charpie and Bill having pizza at F...

Bill and Charpie get together in Fargo to talk about their feelings and break down the show. Amidst a technical difficulty they have to go back and record a bit of the show. Sorry for the interruption in the show folks. It’s another end to another great season of Fargo. Both feel pretty darn satisfied with the outcome of the final episode and wax on some topics. Gail Kitchen utters a mumble. Hanze...

It has come to that time again this season on Fargo when we tie up the loose ends, leave the rest to the imagination, and say so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen goodbye. What a wild ride. Episode 10, Palindrome, proves to be just as wonderfully juicy as previous episodes. Peggy still has a possible screw loose, Lou has some great news via payphone, and Hanzee likes to watch baseball in the park. M...

Bill and Charpie have a conversation with Fargo Season 2 music supervisor, Maggie Phillips and chat about the songs behind the stunning season and how she came to be a music supervisor. Things get even more interesting when Maggie has Jeff Russo, Fargo’s composer, join in the conversation. Settle into your seats. This one is a doozy. Two hours of Fargo nerdy music and fun. A big thank you to both...

Bill and Charpie talk about all the big payoff that come due in Season 2 Episode 9 “The Castle” of FX’s hit, Fargo. The massacre comes to fruition in this episode. Bill feels the UFO was a long time coming and the hints were all there in the first 2-3 minutes of episode. Charpie dissects a bit of Kafka. Both enjoy the way Hank is played this season. Hanzee drops a stunner on Floyd. Both guys felt...

Ermahgerd! Martin Freeman narrates this episode which was ba-na-nas! Bill and Charpie are almost at a loss for what to talk about. Betsy takes a fall. Lou is run out of the town. Hanzee plays a serous hand and gets shabby. You can’t take Bear down easily. Ben Shit (no typo) makes a reference to Rapid City. Ed and Peggy are up to tricks. Hank we love you. Oh…and a UFO. No big deal. All this and mor...

Charpie feels this has been the masterpiece so far this season. Bill isn’t sure yet, but loved the episode a bunch. In Episode 8 “Loplop”, we find out a lot about Peggy’s state of mind as the show opens. Dodd turns out to have a bit of comedic if not dark comedy chops in true Coen-form. The props, sets, lighting, photography, and just plain everything in this episode is wonderful. Please go back a...

Grab a glass of Chablis and sit down for some hotdish with us. We learn how Ed and Peggy got Dodd to take a dysfunctional family trip with them after much prodding. Hanzee is on the hunt again and will go to great lengths to find out what happened to Dodd. Hank and Lou discover the leftovers from the Blomquist basement bash. All this and more on this week’s hotdish with Fargo Talks Fargo.   Thanks...

Full recap of Episode 7 “Did You Do This? No, You Did” finds Bill and Charpie actually recording in the same rom together. Simone still has herself in a bad spot. Are her troubles over at the hand of Bear? Floyd seems to be setting some sort of trap or plan in motion with unbeknownst to Hank. Karl is a man of many talents and helps create a tender moment with Betsy. Mike Milligan makes some big mo...

Remind us to never get the windows washed in Fargo. This quick recap/reaction has Charpie in town with Bill to chat. Simone is an angel in white but has she met the undertaker. Bill thinks Karl could also be the the sausage king of Chicago. All this and more on this episode of the hotdish. Also keep an eye out for real Fargo buildings in this episode. WTF is Hank doing in his study? Thanks to our...

Season 2, Episode 6 “Rhinoceros” charges us up with a lot of tension and a heavy dose of Karl Weathers. We talk with Carmela of the fxfargo.tumblr.com site this week. Simone tips Mike’s hand once again, The Gehrhardts are on the move to fix their butcher issues and retrieve Charlie, and Peggy is still committed to self actualization.   Thanks to our sponsors for this season of Fargo Talks Fargo. P...

Season 2, Episode 6 “Rhinoceros” is a tense one at times. Bill and Charpie give their quick reactions on this episode of the hotdish. Turns out Ed isn’t the only one who can’t sit in Peg’s chairs. Dodd and Bear have a go until Floyd brings order. Stand-offs and guns blaze. Ed is a the rabbit now according to Charpie. Karl Weathers has his…burp…moment. Thanks to our sponsors for this season of Farg...

In our Episode 5 recap of Fargo’s FX, we break down “The Gift of the Magi” with Joe Riley again. War is on and it’s a sneak attack. Tomato..tomahtoe….Honzee….Hanzee…either way that guy is tough as hell. We chat about Dodd feeling on top of the world, but think Floyd is onto him and there may be some recourse. Ed has a burning desire to leave top, except that Peg sold the car and seems to want to s...

Hot and fresh, ya know. Episode 5 “The Gift of the Magi” was a doozy 0n FX’s Fargo. The hunt and war are definitely on as shots are fired and the bodies begin to drop. Ed and Peggy play the show title as best they can. Dodd gets Charlie into some pork chops or the like…and shot. Simone is caught in the middle and likely nobody looking out for her except Floyd.  Another fun filled fiery episode of...
