Best Film Ever

Episode 58 - Fargo

Listen Later

This week we're joining the Minnesota State Police (our prowler might need a boost) as we check out Siskel & Ebert (Ebs!)'s 1996 film of the year in the Coen Brothers' Fargo.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie - and Ethan from Talking The Mickey – as we head to Siberia with Family restaurants with pseudo-Scandanavian accents before snuggling up with a nature documentary before bed.  It's definitely not a lemon of a 58th episode as we discuss

  • Why the credits only list Joel Coen as director
  • If the 'Minnesota Nice' accent is harder for British ears to distinguish than Canadian/Kiwi ones
  • Whether Marge & Norm have hollow lives
  • The tropes that the Coens were trying to dismantle regarding how pregnant women are presented in Hollywood
  • The power play that William H. Macy put forth to get the part
  • The purpose of dealer plates in North America
  • Why Carl was cheaping out over the Sierra when he had $920,000 stashed away elsewhere
  • Whether or not Fargo is the Best Film Ever
