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. Read More
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. Read More
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.

You know, like life and stuff. Is a fake grenade nepravda? This pressing question and more happen on the episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. Read More
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.

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.

All this is wrapped up in this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. F*ck it Dude, let's go bowling. Read More
We were super lucky to chat again this season with Maggie Phillips, the Music Supervisor for FX's Fargo.

Maggie chatted with us after episode 5 aired and gave us a few hints about upcoming music and thematic ideas. Tune in! Read More

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 season's Shakey Graves w/ Monica Martin soundtrack music, and so much more. It's a strange one folks. Settle in. Read More

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 Bill and Charpie ever figure out how to play Bridge? All these burning questions will be sort of answered on this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. It's time to set the scene, eh? You betcha!
