The Oh, Welcome to the Fargo Podcast, the Fargo Podcast, FX I'm Jim I'm Aaron and today we're talking about season four episode nine titled east slash west

You probably don't say the slash it's probably just east west.

Ayr on, what do you think of this episode?

Boy, I tell you what, the Fargo Talks Fargo Podcast must have been eating their words

because they've been predicting a Wizard of Oz

uh homage all season and then look look at this no one talked about

Wizards there's no mention of Oz

internal references to those because not only is a tornado obviously one of the famous things that happens in Wizard of Oz it also is the

the way a serious man closes out the film. There is just a lot going on here that I'm sure we're going to talk about in terms of symbolism.

And it was a lot of fun to watch, but I don't know how it's actually going to roll back and inform you know like like

aid our enjoyment of the main plot of Fargo this season which I don't think is in that

dire of need of fixing but it is you know yeah like it like if if the next two
