Jim and A.Ron talk about the excellent, but under-appreciated, Justified on FX.
Who’s in more trouble? Raylan, Boyd, or Quarles? We break down this and more in this week’s episode covering another awesome hour of Justified. Join Jim and A.Ron as they discuss Limehouse making power plays, Raylan’s legal trouble, Quarles’ being tempted by the Beast within, Raylan putting on a clinic for how not to handle the police, and ask; does Wynn’s carpet match the drapes?!
Things on Justified are heating up faster than a hand soaked in lye and hit with a steam jet! Join Jim and A.Ron for a discussion of problems in the round barn, the importance of keeping drugs away from schools, the suddenly complicated political situation in Harlan’s Sheriff elections, Raylan’s new digs, Tim not being impressed with Raylan’s “mad ninja skills”, Quarles wheeling and dealing, and the dramatic return of Gary! We cap it off with a brief spoiler section in which we consider the preview for next week’s episode in order to glean any insights that may be had and some info about casting news.
In Ted K’s latest missive as our very own Eastern Kentucky embedded reporter, he included a couple of outstanding photos of Harlan. I’m going to turn it over to him to discuss: Ted K: I took a trip to Harlan County this weekend and while there was able to capture a photo from the exact spot…
In case you missed it, be sure to check out our interview with Justified writer/producer Taylor Elmore that we released earlier tonight. After that, join us for a discussion of Quarles’ hobbies, Raylan having a bad day, what’s up with Winona, Limehouse’s rebellion, and Arlo’s possible senility. Then in the feedback section we hear from our fans, including another informative dispatch from our embedded Kentucky reporter, Ted. We cap it off with a brief spoiler section in which we consider the preview for next week’s episode in order to glean any insights that may be had.
Thanks to listener Ed K, we were put in touch with Writer/Producer for FX’s Justified, Taylor Elmore. Mr. Elmore was kind enough to give us about an hour of his time for a wide ranging interview that touches on his history with the show, the process for creating Justified, his thoughts and opinions on the plot, writing, and production of the show, and a few tidbits about up coming plot points for the second half of season three!
Special thanks goes out to our listeners who contributed some of the questions; Sandy, Michael G, Lucas, Daniel M, and redditors TheGreatNinjaYuffie, sniffles_snort, and notonekind. It was fun, we’ll have to do it again, sometime, maybe as a season three wrap up?
It’s the end times for Dewey Crowe! Repent ye sinners, and make amends before the Guns Come Out. Join Jim and A.Ron for a discussion of Winona and Ava’s support of their men, body horror, Raylan’s most creative police shooting yet, just how stupid Dewey is, Boyd’s message, and Quarles’ receipt. We have a big debate in the end about the final scene of the episode and what it all means. All this, listener feedback, and some minor spoilers for next week!
Ho-ho-hold your horses, now! We got a brand new episode of Justified to talk about! It’s a particularly brilliant one, the dialog was just amazing.
We discuss Carpetbagger’s imitation preacher routine, Devil’s loyalty, Dickie’s swagger, Raylan’s race relations, Boyd’s pitter patter, the finer points of vehicular assault, and the three point turning of pig shit.
What a great episode! It had it all, a cool “gangster of the week”, maximized levels of Raylan and Boyd badassery, links to the main season arc… really, you can’t ask for much more from a show.
We talk about why we feel like this episode works so well, the many versions of Boyd the show has presented us, Raylan’s recovery, why we’ve firmly come down on the “anti” side of the Raylan/Winona shipper debate, this show’s Breaking Bad and Taxi Driver allusions, and Johnny Crowder’s loyalty. We also consider some fan feedback, including another fantastic segment from our own embedded reporter, Ted.
Justified takes a bit of a procedural turn in episode two of season three, titled “Cut Ties”. How does that sit with Jim and A.Ron? We discuss our reactions, good and bad, Boyd’s master plan for Dickie, Karen Sisco Goodall’s tongue in cheek tribute to a classic Leonard Elmore character, Art’s bad ass turn, and the tasty, tasty first appearance of Noble Hollow’s own, Limehouse! I think I’m going to need a spot, here.
We are super stoked to start our third full coverage series, this time Justified from the FX network. After a marathon viewing session of seasons one and two, A.Ron and Jim are ready to kick this one off right. Join us for a discussion of the primary relationships of the show, analysis of the new…
