663: "You Betcha" | Fargo (1996)

This week we're heading north to break down Fargo, the Coen Brothers' pitch-black crime comedy where a mild-mannered car salesman (William H. Macy) hires two bumbling criminals (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife, and a very pregnant, very polite police chief (Frances McDormand) follows the trail of bodies through the snow. It's a real good time, you betcha, with a whole lot of 'oh jeez' and 'yah, no, for sure' on the way to some of the coldest murders in the movies. Grab a hot

Host

School district tech director by day, movie podcaster by night, and dad/husband always — John’s love of movies began at an early age watching many of his lifelong favorites with his dad. His formative movie-watching years were shaped by The Blues Brothers, Superman II, the Star Wars trilogy, the Muppets, and Amadeus… among many others. John leans toward Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, Sam Raimi, and Richard Donner as favorite directors. His ears perk up when you play any score by James Horner, John Williams, and Alan Silvestri.
