Discussion of Phone Call, Song Quote, Horror Elements, and Love for the Show

Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney reunite to break down the first three episodes of ‘Fargo’ Season 5. They give a brief overview on their relationships with past seasons of the series and the Coen brothers’ film it’s loosely based on, before then discussing why this time around feels like a return to form. Next, they unpack this season’s thematic through line that places the wives at the center of the story, walk through a taxonomy of the recurring ‘Fargo’ archetypes up until this point, and highlight their favorite needle drops from the episodes.

Hosts: Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney
