“This is a true story. The events depicted in this film took place in Bemidji, MN in 2006. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.”

Are Lesley and Ben keeping up the theme of snow crimes this season? Oh you betcha! It’s time for Ben’s staff pick and while watching Fargo was an obvious choice, it was impossible to decide which one of the stellar four seasons to pick, and even harder to pick a single episode.

But since we can’t not talk about Stephen Root, we had to cover the one episode of Fargo Season One that he cameoed in. It’s Loren Malvo vs. Lester Malvo. Which morally bankrupt monster is coming out of the hotel elevator alive?

Syndicated with Lesley and Ben is a twice monthly podcast about television, genre and storytelling in which your hosts watch one episode of a new show and explore the history of television one episode at a time. From family room sitcoms to space exploration shows, reality TV to procedurals and game shows, we’re going to cover it all and give you the context you need to understand the wonderful world of television and the stories we love.

Our Logo is by Terra Bosart, the theme song is by Mandra Sigma and the show is edited by Jay Gagnon.
