Fargo Talks Fargo

Bill and Charpie break down Episode 6 Camp Elegance in this episode. Fan mail and theories abound. The Wizard of OZ references will not be going on away to strap in. Ethelrida has a creepy birthday. Charpie launches his new podcast “Deafy and the Carrot” but Bill isn’t so sure.  Is Oraetta a witch? Is America the Wizard? Loy has some interesting art about beheading. Josto is a messy boy. All this and fun chat about Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. Aw jeez…that’s a lotta stuff. Shout out to Will Clinger.

Happy Birthday Ethelrida! Charpie notes the quicker pace and staccato movement this episode 6 of Fargo. Camp Elegance shows the movement of the gears of war picking up pace. Odis gets a shower scene straight out of the movie Fargo. Gaetano gets bested by the ladies on the lam. Dr. Harvard gives Oraetta a stern talking that mostly goes nowhere. In the end, Antoon has a tough decision that isn’t rewarded.

In an episode of speeches, Bill and Charpie lament only slightly about too much of said speechifying (it’s a word we swear). We learn about Paris of the Plains and that the guys don’t know much about boulevards. They still can’t let go of the Wizard of Oz and have some serious relations. Be sure to listen to the bitter end. Some new information has come to light, man. Join us in this episode of FTF while Charpie breaks down Puccini. So very much going on here. Yup. RIP Doctor Governor. Bill misses you already.

Holy jeez. What the heck is going on? Bill is very distraught about this episode. He’s not ready to let go of Clarence Royce of the Wire. The gents chat about Glynn Turman. The end of wisdom is upon us. All of this, a bunch of deep signs, and bourbon on this episode of the hotdish. Vissi d’arte!

Just another normal week here, ya know. Fargo continues in this fourth episode of the fourth season with some spooky, spooky business. It’s chilling to see what happens here so grab a pair of mittens.  Bill and Charpie seem to linger on the concept of songs about drummers versus the use of youngster percussionist in war. Keep your eyes peeled as this is a double double again we think. Can’t keep up? Pair, Paris, or pear either way we feel like we are twinning. Paring this all down we offer bonus points for catching our random audio references.

Great Caesar’s ghost! What the heck was that creepy fella doing on the stairs at the Smutney house? Charpie reveals his bird theory around Oreatta. Bill agrees it is a solid play. Strange note: why was the guy shoveling snow that didn’t need to be shoveled. Hot and fresh. Enjoy.

Get ready for some double double double action in this full breakdown of Raddoppiarlo. Bill has an epiphany about the show title but still struggles to pronounce it correctly. Charpie digs into the dark history of the Nuremberg trials. The guys also mix in some discussion again about the play of religion and extra-natural forces at work in the Fargo universe. Bonus material is where to find a good cigarette vending machines in the late 80s, Wizard of Oz and ruby slippers.

Fresh off skipping classes in Italian, the guys attempt to pronounce the third episode’s show title, Raddoppiarlo. It doesn’t go well. Charpie brings things to the Disney universe and Bill is perplexed but agrees it is worth some more thought. Religion is afoot in many areas of the show. Plus some quick chat about food again! Here is a picture of Peg-leg Pete too.

In this episode, The Land of Taking and Killing, Bill and Charpie discuss the lion in the cage. Who is it? We meet some jail-weary travelers in Zelmare and Swanee. Ethelrida is clearly getting under Oraetta’s skin so she decides to make Ethelrida her new pet project. Here’s to hoping that it doesn’t end up like Mr. Cosmopolis. They guys talk about Gaetono’s performance. Also try the calzones. They are a riot! Also pizza talk from the midwest to your podcast door.

This week sure feels fuller than a fella at a lutefisk feed. Charpie and Bill dish up a little bit of action on episode 2. Somehow they end up reminiscing about Don Draper and smoking. Bill needs people to start dying so he doesn’t have to keep so many names straight. All this and a shocking supper-time moment for the guys in the end. Warm it up, folks!
