Episode Details

Pete and Hannah continue their deep dive into the AFI movie canon this week with a closer look at the Coen Brothers’ Fargo (1996). The duo unpack the film’s darkly comic take on crime, its unforgettable characters, and the bleakly beautiful Midwest setting that helped cement Fargo as a modern classic. From botched kidnappings to biting humor, they explore why this black comedy remains so influential—and so rewatchable—nearly three decades later.
