In this podcast, we discuss Fargo episode 104, “Eating the Blame”. A.Ron and Jim talk about hand wounds, the increasing Jokerfication of Lorne and their various feelings about that, the troubled relationship of Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench, the ties between the movie and the television show, and a special segment from our resident Fargophile, Eric from the Personal Arrogants podcast. All this plus a light dusting of your feedback!
Catch Jim, A.Ron, and special guest contributor Eric from our brother-cast Personal Arrogant’s thoughts on the latest episode of Fargo, “A Muddy Road”. What do spiders, Sioux Falls, and Jewish culture have to do with a series of brutal homicides in America’s mid-west? Damned if we know, but boy do we want answers!
Have you ever seen a menacing shit? Jim and A.Ron have, and it was terrifying. Aside from threatening bathroom behavior, the guys talk about the horror of being put into an ice hole, dinks and leptons, the efficacy of flashbacks, the Supermarket King and his royal court, and bullying postal workers. All this and plus a light smattering of feedback. Hope to see you back next week!
Jim and A.Ron break down their thoughts on the first episode of FX’s new series, Fargo, “The Crocodile’s Dilemma”. In the podcast, we discuss the parallel’s between plot and characters of other Coen productions, such as “Fargo” and “No Country for Old Men”, how well they nailed the look, sounds, and “feel” of “Fargo”, and how the show runners cleverly played with some of our assumptions about how the characters would act and behave. All this, plus a smattering of feedback, and a few words of warning regarding some serious spoilers floating around on the ‘net.
Hey everybody, surprise! Jim and I are going to take a leap of faith and start covering Fargo day one! This cast is just a little stub where we talk about our affection for the Coen Bros, our favorite Coen movies, and show case our complete lack of foreknowledge about the upcoming season.
It’s time to close the doors on Series One of Mr. Selfridge–we think. It’s possible that Jeremy Piven has been running around, setting all the clocks five minutes ahead.

Kelly & Tom go nuts for tea huts in their coverage of Mr. Selfridge Episodes 7 & 8. Their more quick-witted than usual observations extend to remembering that Drunky McGin exists, the plight of colorblind Edwardians, the return of Lady May’s hair bra, how Selfridge’s might have capitalized on the sinking of Titanic, Mr. LeClair’s…
In this recap of Mr.Selfridge episodes 5 & 6, Kelly and Tom crash headlong into a heap of scandal! They go to the papers with tales of gin-soaked bums, Jeremy Piven’s excellent yelling skills, a (nearly) fool-proof method of telling the Selfridge children apart, Lady May’s gigolo-naming system, which ‘ships are okay to support, the worst flashback…
Kelly and Tom return at long last with a recap of Mr. Selfridge episodes 3 & 4 sure to delight and amaze even the most curmudgeonly Cousins! They cover the awfulness of Viking River Cruises and the PBS video player, the over/under on whether Lady May and Ellen Love are actually vampires, Fake Gyllenhaal’s dilettantism,…
Kelly and Tom set out to change the way the internet experiences Mr. Selfridge. Their discussion of the two-hour Masterpiece Classic premiere involves a LOT of made-up names, LinneyWatch 2013, the smile that dropped a thousand panties, the Ginger Gregson, a Torchwood alien, and the niceness of people being nice to one another. All this,…
