Ep 226: "Fargo" Revisited


Listen Later

You're darn tootin' we're giving this 1996 Oscar winner a rewatch. The snow-covered sleeper hit and critical darling, the Coen brothers' Fargo captured audiences with its dark humor, nifty accents, and one oft-talked about woodchipper scene. Now, decades later, has the kidnapping comedy's charm worn off? Can the film's cold tone be forgiven with a few well-placed "You betcha" line readings? And, now that Frances McDormand has three Best Actress Oscars, how does Fargo really stack up? The Old Roommates brave the elements and give it all a rewatch through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
