S1E13 - Fargo (1996)

<h1>Episode Notes</h1> <p>One of my favorite films of all time, Fargo tells the story of a duo of inept, small-time crooks (portrayed by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare). The two become involved in a convoluted plot to kidnap a Minneapolis car salesman's wife in exchange for cash and a new car. In this scene, the criminals discuss the details of the crime with salesman Jerry Lundegard, portrayed by William H. Macy: The scheme doesn’t go quite as planned, and an adjacent crime brings the duo into the jurisdiction of Brainerd, Minnesota. The new crime is investigated by Brainerd Chief-of-Police Marge Ginderson:</p> <p>Long-time Coen collaborator Frances McDormand won an Oscar for her role. The rest of the cast put on stellar performances in this intriguing and tight crime drama that also won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Great performance infused in the Coen Brothers unorthodox sense of dark humor makes for a fun and occasionally shocking narrative.</p> <p>Billups Allen’s book <a href="https://goner-records.com/products/billups-allen-101-movies" rel="nofollow">101 Films You Could See Before You Die</a> is available through Goner Records. </p> <p><a href="https://wyxr.org/groove-tomb" rel="nofollow">The Groove Tomb</a>: Billups Allen plays songs from his years of record collecting interspersed with clips from horror and cult soundtracks.
