Summary

Amy & Paul kidnap 1996's Coen Bros' untrue true-crime tale Fargo! They weigh the moral yin and yang of Marge Gunderson and Jerry Lundegaard, learn about a Japanese woman who took the opening title card a little too seriously, and debate if Fargo is the ultimate representative of what the Coens do best. Plus: William H. Macy told Joel Coen he would do *what* for this part?! Next week Unspooled takes a break from this snowy series with the original Scream!

areas, very cold areas or where people are are trapped in well, I guess snowing cold areas.

0:55.8

I mean that's it. It's a cold mini series. It is me expressing my grief of not being able to go

to Sundance which I needed. So take me to Sundance, take me to cold wintery places where I can
