Fargo Talks Fargo

Well gee dang it all…we seem to have come to another end to another season of Fargo on FX. Bill and Charpie talk about their final thoughts on the season. After we eased on down the road with the Fadda and Cannon crews, where have we ended up? Was this season up your alley or was it a ladder to nowhere? We try to resolve a bit of what we have seen this season. In the end, some are home gain and some haven’t quit found their home. The Goldilocks tales pokes its head into the story again via East/West. We hope we’ve manage to win a few friends and influence some people this season. Thanks for joining us again. All this for what? A little bit of money? Be well folks. Beware the Jabberwocky.

Yikes we work on reconciling the end of this season…no we don’t since it’s the hotdish. Both of us are a bit stunned by things and attempt to serve up our thoughts without going too deep into the main course. Are we satisfied? Only a rewatch will bring these things to light, man.  Send us your thoughts. Until the final breakdown, enjoy this Jell-O salad (don’t @ me. I know it’s not oranges). https://www.fargomoorhead.org/restaurants-bars/article/midwesterner-jello-salad/ Yummy!

We somehow connect this episode from Stevie Wonder to The Wire to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. You know, the usual stuff from us. Odis is still smiling on his way out. Bill can’t let go of Oz. Charpie is full-blown in cahoots with the duality of Raddoppiarlo. We can’t let it go. Sorry not sorry. Incredibly solid showing from Buel, Ethelrida, and Satchel.  Mild nautical theme pickups from Snowman and/or The Roach. Holding strong on that fact that it’s a curse NOT a saving entity for these women. It’s a dang slave ship asshat people, not a helper. Oh, did we mention deep context on gadfly? Join up on our journey. Grab your footing and keep your pistol holstered. Scarecrows and such. Happy now?

Fresh off a twister of an episode last week, we find ourselves learning about Happy in episode 10 of Fargo Season 4. We’ve got a double cross by cousins, our two possible “Dorothy” characters emerge at their own crossroads in a new world, and a pair of characters disappear from this earth. Like Rick Astley, we are never gonna give you, Raddoppiarlo, up this season. Dueces…Aces…you choose. Don’t forget the lingering specter of Theodore Roach. That is an evil even Oraetta can’t handle. Deals are being made.

How can we even start this show breakdown. East/West Fargo Episode 9 is a fully-packed episode. Likely our biggest Oz payoff of the season. Houses divided. Tin Woodman, Hickory in search of oil, sister racist witches, and a dang unfinished billboard. What are guys like Rabbi and Satchel to do in this crazy mixed up world. Calamity ensues. Snowman comes back at the end (of the podcast not the episode). The future is now! Just not for Omie or Willy. We can try help. Join us on this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo at we celebrate Satchel’s birthday. Happy Birthday, young man!

Things aren’t always as black and white as they seem in the episode of Fargo. In episode 9 East/West, we journey with Rabbi and Satchel to Liberal, KS to see where they are hiding out. We see Omie set his snare. Oddly, Satchel and Rabbi stay at another “house” that is divided. Things spin up quickly near the end. The future is now, folks! WTF does that even mean?

In this episode, The Nadir, on Fargo Talks Fargo the guys break down what’s going with nadir. Bill pronounces the word improperly but Charpie deems it nice and fancy. We share fun facts about a record in the episode from Duke Ellington. Who is at a low point? What was the actual order Odis received from the caller? That dang Snowman has got more than a button nose. More numbers this week and we wrap up with some poetry sent in via Regina. So long, Swanee! Timothy…see you later law man.

Josto professes his love. Gaetano and Josto find a way to seal their deal. Loy sets things in motion when he realizes the brother have not self-destructed. Deafy and Odis team up for the bust of the episode only to have Snowman chill the whole situation out in his special way. Zelmare is off running. Who will she run to? Will Ethelrida and Lemuel have a chat but Dibrell warns against being friends with your captor.  Have a scoop while it’s hot.

This week we clear up that carrot controversy thanks to listener, Robert.  Keep the insights coming we love it. What is Lay Away all about? What is being put aside? Lions, tigers and Palominos, oh my! Charpie delves into a large prediction of fan fiction.  Join us as we break down episode 7 of Fargo, Season 4. Does anyone read these? Free mug from us here in Fargo to the first person to email [email protected] with the subject line “I can help.” Ok then see ya later you tasty macarons.

Welcome to another episode of Fargo Talks Fargo and the hotdish. In this episode we see Oraetta get her groove back, Loy and Josto play angles that don’t seem to be understood by their crime family and the “word” is out about Satchel. Gaetano is aware of Josto’s play. Will more fun ensue? Charpie thinks phone lines are messy. Serving up our strange style of Midwest. Have a scoop why don’t ya?
