Fargo (1996) | Ep. 15 - Part 1
Oh ya, you betcha. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the Coen brothers' snowbound crime classic and the cheerfully pregnant police chief at the heart of it.
In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, directors Joel and Ethan Coen, the cast, and the second act — including the famously cheeky ""true story"" card, William H. Macy's flailing Jerry Lundegaard, and the bleak white Minnesota expanse.
There's a wood chipper in the third act, and we're not there yet. Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
