Fargo Talks Fargo

Bill and Charpie break down Episode 8 The Heap in this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. Lester has some “out with the old in with the new” in this episode, Molly makes a case with Bill again, Budge and Pepper find new circumstances, Ida and Molly chat, and other plot points. Then Noah Hawley chucks in a bit of an unexpected curveball that shifts the story. Charpie rocks a rant about red sauce and midwest white sauce for tacos. We talk about sorites paradox as well as Detective Kitty O’Day. Through it all, Bill is convinced of the soft heart of Bill Oswalt. Files are grains of sand in The Heap or are they characters in the show?

Noah Hawley drops a great show on us in this week’s Fargo. Episode 8 “The Heap” shows us each character still dealing from the consequences of their recent actions. Lester is no longer a cowardly lion, Molly is trying her hardest to still shake what she know in her gut to be true, and Gus has his florist on speed dial. That’s when Noah drops it on us. Time shift and what happens after.

Tom Musgrave, who plays Bo Munk on Fargo, joins us for a special episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. We meant to chat about Episode 7 with Tom, but had such a fantastic time talking with Tom about his time on the show that is we cut it into it’s own episode. Tom hails from Valley City, ND which is about an hour from Fargo and also attended college in the Fargo-Moorhead area. We hear about Tom’s audition process, his work on the show, and his experiences.

Bill and Charpie go it alone in this breakdown. The opening of this show was a fantastic play of acting, editing, and music. Lester’s plan masterfully goes off without a hitch since Molly isn’t there to ask questions. Gus has a new mission to get Molly a spleen, but only seems to find guilt and flowers. Mr. Wrench and Molly chat as much as they can and Lester is ready to get back to work (or to work it). Lorne racks up some travel miles. DLH – RNH -FAR. I hope he got double miles for these trips. Gina and Lester are reunited. Molly seems to be losing it all. So much for “We’re gonna win this one, Gus Grimly”. Plus get out and read this great write up by James Garcia on Talkbacker.com.

FX’s Fargo is moving towards it’s end this week in Episode 7 – “Who Shaves the Barber”. Bill and Charpie agree that the opening of this episode is fantastic. We get a quick explanation of the fish from the sky, Lester’s master plan is working out (so far), Molly is pretty damn forgiving of Gus, Lorne is evil, and Gina Hess rocks Lester. Enough said.

John Lamb, features writer from the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, joins us this week to recap the storm of the century on FX’s Fargo. Buridan’s Ass has us a bit confused about it’s application to this episode, but we rip through the episode bit by bit to dissect as usual. Chumpf rocks his last piece of exercise equipment. John wants to hear more Metallica used in the show and is appalled by hospital care in Bemidji. Lester and Chas come to a very pointed discussion. Coffee time with Molly and Gus and so much more in this episode. Enjoy as Charpie and John argue the finer points of accurately dying on screen. Gus makes a huge mistake and sky fish…yes sky fish.

On the Hotdish we rejoin Chumpf in his Turkish closet and his last time using the Darth Vader line. Charpie thinks the mob/crime boss stereotype is a bit overdone. We finally get to see the evident glow of Storm Watch 2006 that has been building and a shootout at the Duluth OK Corral. A Minnesota Fish-Fry could happen, but not how you think. Lester continues to be a “bad boy”. We can’t wait to do our full episode recap tomorrow night. Stay tuned in folks.

Joe Riley, from GrillingAddiction.com, joins us again to talk about Episode 5 of Fargo from FX. We chat about “flashbacks” and the proper terms for use and if we like it. Bill wrangles Charpie and Joe from their glorious reunion from Fargo Talks Fargo Preshow 1. The Six Ungraspables is a big turn for the show lining up moving pieces as the show moves towards the wrap. Things are heating up for Molly Solverson, Gus Grimly has a chat about a really depressing “parable”, Lorne Malvo is still a mystery and a very smooth character, but a total evil person (like Chris Brown). Holy smokes more parables and a crazy idea about them from CityPages columnist, Tatiana Craine.

Noah Hawley really has  a thing for flashbacks and we get another in the beginning. Bill suggests Lorne is yet another animal. Lester is a festering in jail with his new buddies and we finally find out more about the Mitvah Tank. This and so much more on this episode of the Hotdish from Fargo Talks Fargo. As a bonus we introduce a new way to get $1 off a beer at Fargo Brewing Company’s tap room. Have a listen to find out how or follow us on Facebook/Twitter.
