510 - Bisquik
It’s the season finale of Fargo Season 5, did Noah Hawley pull it off? The overall plot and the character of Munch gave this season a Grimm’s Fairy Tale feel. This was one of the best episodes of the season,...

505 - The Tiger
Lyons and tigers and…and…involuntary psychiatric commitment. Oh my! The backstories are coming out in this episode. Working in healthcare is dangerous when Dot is at your hospital. And are we headed toward a Dot/Munch team up? Get your fix of...
12.07.2023
504 - Insolubilia
It was the Home Alone episode that Jim and A.Ron have been waiting for. Did it meet expectations? Munch is leaving cryptic messages. John Hamm hasn’t raised his voice once, but is he in control of the situation? Listen in...

503 - The Paradox of Intermediate Transactions

11.10.2020
408 - The Nadir
There's an ironic quality to the name of this episode, The Nadir, given that the previous two episodes were our least favorite of the season. This episode is a return to form with some excellent Raylan Gi-- er, Marshal Deafy...
11.04.2020
407 - Lay Away
Another connective episode that has been chopped and screwed from other episodes into its final form leaves us not dissatisfied, but not exactly blown away either. We hear good things about the remainder of the season though, so the pace...
10.27.2020
406 - Camp Elegance

06.09.2017
308 – Who Rules the Land of Denial?
FX’s Fargo threw audiences a supernatural, out of nowhere curve ball this week in “Who Rules the Land of Denial” and A.Ron…. loved it? The man who hates a fishnado, the man who revolts at the first sign of UFO, is...
06.02.2017
307 – The Law of Inevitability
FX’s Fargo continues to pick up steam as it heads into the final stretch, with “The Law of Inevitability” dealing with the aftermath of Emmitt’s loss (he doesn’t acquit himself well), Sy coming to grips with the destruction of his world, and...

305 – The House of Special Purpose

05.11.2017
304 – The Narrow Escape Problem
There is a whole lot to ponder in “The Narrow Escape Problem”, the latest episode of FX’s Fargo. Communist propaganda, meditations on the 1%, Joseph Stalin, bulimia, Ewan McGreggor playing a different Ewan McGreggor playing yet another Ewan McGreggor; an Ewan...
05.04.2017
303 – The Law of Non-Contradiction
Jim and A.Ron struggle to wrap their minds around the apparently “useless machine” of an episode of FX’s Fargo, “The Law of Non-Contradiction”. Is the ep an artistic triumph, or ultimately a pointless treadmill of plot? Is Gloria married or divorced?...
04.27.2017
302 – The Principle of Restricted Choice
FX’s Fargo was very, very good this week, expertly blending the unfathomable pinheadery and sublime comedy that has become the series hallmarks in “The Principle of Restricted Choice”. We talk about the dramatic possibilities of using one actor to play two...
04.20.2017
301 – The Law of Vacant Places

12.02.2015
208 – Loplop
FARGO WINS THE WEEK! In “Loplop”, Fargo hits all the notes; comedy, drama, suspense, without ever causing any tonal conflicts, and sets the season on it’s final, no doubt bloody, and most likely weird, trajectory. It wasn’t perfect; we felt a...
11.25.2015
207 – Did You Do This? No, You Did It!
Lots of stuff to talk about, from Simone’s tragic end, to Mike Milligan’s desperate gamble, to Mama Gerhardt’s turning snitch, Lou triumphant, and say, what the heck has Peggy, Ed, Dodd and Hanzee been up to during this episode? Lots...
