According to Charlize Theron, the Minnesota accent was one of the hardest ones she ever had to learn, for North Country. Then she arrived in northern Minnesota, and it was so cold outside she could barely open her mouth, and the accent just happened naturally.

Buscemi also was in the Coen's Miller's Crossing in which his character is killed by gunshot. In this one he ends up in the woodchipper of course, and in Lebowski he's cremated, so when he dies in a Coen movie, his remains are progressively tinier. And of course in Lebowski, Stormare's character finally gets his pancakes!

The scene with Marge and her old friend from High school seems out of place and random, but it's the conversation and the revelation later that he was lying that leads her to revisit the dealership, to not take people at face value just because they're meek.

Emily's "Scotty Doesn't Know" joke. Chef's. Kiss.

The Coens have a sharp comedic wit that runs through even dark tales like Fargo. Try Suburbicon, written by the Coen bros and directed by George Clooney.

Probably not the first to say it, but if you all haven't watched the Fargo TV show yet you should check it out.

“…end of story.” Funniest darn scene in the movie!

"Scare-roused" .. I nearly choked 🤣🤣🤣 Ima hafta use that word, thanks! BTW love the reactions always.

Now you need to watch the series. Showed my wife this movie after we'd started season one. Now she's hooked and we've watched them all.

There is a 2014 movie called Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, where the synopsis is: A jaded Japanese woman discovers a hidden copy of Fargo (1996) on VHS, believing it to be a treasure map indicating the location of a large case of money.

I'm from Minnesota, my accent isn't this bad. It's noticable, but not this bad. But yes, we do sound like this.

"Scare-oused" will now forever be a part of my vocabulary 😂

Where I live, the use of salt was much more prevalent than it is now. It was not just salt, but salted sand. The problem was with the air pollution from the sand being kicked up, and our temperature inversions would trap the airborne sand particles creating our infamous 'brown cloud.' They now spray a solution of magnesium chloride, which slows down the freezing of the snow as it melts. The problem with mag chloride is that it is basically like corn syrup, so thick it gets tracked inside. The problem with both methods is that if you don't wash your cars real well afterward, it can cause rust where it lingers on the cars. Don't ya know.

Miss Em, that impression at the end!!! Now I know what a Jamaican from Fargo would sound like! 😂

The farther you get from Minneapolis, the stronger the accent gets, especially the northern half of MN. The accent in the movie is about as strong as it gets though. That is, unless you cross the border to the north, then its "Canadasotan"

There is BBC science/comedy Podcast called “The Infinite Monkey Cage”, and one of their early episodes was about Forensic Science. On that episode they discussed the best ways to dispose of a body and wood chipper came up first. The pathologist said this was a big mistake as it turned one large piece of evidence into millions of fragments and droplets of evidence which guarantees you’ll get caught!

I LOVE this movie!! I was working at Tower Records in Toronto on Oscar night that year, and met up with friends after work at a popular bar in the Gay Village. When Frances McDormand won for Best Actress the whole place erupted in cheers. She was so amazing in this role. As was the rest of the cast.

I can vouch for the conditions up there after spending 2 winters stationed in Grand Forks ND. ND and MN get the arctic winds sweeping down out of Canada. I've been out in -60 wind chill so yes it does get cold. Typically cars have a heating block so people plug them in every night to keep them from freezing. MN does have lots of trees and lakes, much more scenic than ND.

The real life wood chipper incident with the wood chipper, the husband forever sleeped his wife and put her in a chest freezer for several months. Once she was good and solid, he cut her into manageable pieces with a power saw and put the frozen pieces through the wood chipper.

So glad you guys got a chance to watch this together! This is one of those 'bucket list' films that everyone should make time for. When you're able, you might enjoy the TV series. It has a very similar vibe, and explores a lot of the same themes.

"look jerry, you're not selling me a damn kaar" sad when he got shot

Another funny fact: My freshmen year of college I had a roommate from MN. A big group of us were watching Fargo and snikering at the MN accents. My roomate unironically turns to the group and says in the THICKEST MN I've heard, "We doon't all sooond like that." Everyone in the group, expectedly, lost our shit. Fun times.

Another Coen Brothers film with Frances McDormand is Blood Simple - another dark comedy. I'm from Minnesota - moved to Colorado - told my sister who lives in Hibbing about Fargo and the accents. And how funny it was with the Asian Mike Yamagida with the Minnesotan accent. When I went to visit her, we went to a restaurant and there was an Asian waiter with the Minnesota accent - she asked "is it like Fargo?" I said, "oh ya." I'd love to do a sequel with Marge tracking down all of the details and evidence and run-ins with stupid criminals (there are a lot of tales of stupid criminals in Minnesota, like the men who broke into a cabin and snorted a bunch of cocaine they found which turned out to be the ashes of the owners' mother and dog. It would be fun to have the trials of Shep and Gaere and Jerry. Jerry awaiting trial in prison trying to make deals with other prisoners. So much good stuff.

The money case from the movie is the same one used in No Country for Old Men.

The Red Dead joke made me lol! I love this movie dearly. I recommend Magnolia, William H Macy is so great in that too. So many great actors in it

Wow, despite being cold, Matthew nearly wears what I would be wearing in that cold (except probably a t-shirt instead), while Emily outfit looks cozy/comfy AF. It looks as if Matthew would have ordered himself a sexy lumberjill, to get through the winter, lol.

Definitely get the undercoating in Minnesota. The winter will eat your car in no time. Too bad they didn't fit some 'ope's' into the dialogue. Minnesotans say Ope for all kinds of things, bumping into someone, tripping up a step, knocking something over, saying a startled ope when you realize the line has moved ahead while you've been daydreaming. Ope is oops, sorry, excuse me, etc.

Great film. I'm actually going to meet William H. Macy in March.

As a native Minnesotan I loved every moment of Emily's reactions! 😂

The question about what happened to the briefcase is answered in the tv series.

"They don't drink milkshakes there I assure you." They do, just not the kind you're used to.

Another great reaction! I know many will echo this, but the show is also SO worth watching. Seasons 1, 2, and 5 are absolutely superb (each season is a separate story, and incorporates the tone, accents/locations, and many easter eggs/references to the movie). Season 5 especially was fantastic and so moving.

My Dad was born and raised in Bemidji, MN, pretty far north smaller town. He lost his accent after leaving about age 18 to live out west (Montana, California, then Utah fir many years. But we visited family in Bemidji every year (took our summer vacation there) and yes, there is minor exaggeration but northern, small town people DO speak like that. The accent and overall style if speech and grammar is pretty spot on, if ever-so-slightly amplified here. Had an Uncle who stayed in Bemidji until his death in 2021, you'd be shocked and tickled if you heard him on the phone (wish I had recorded one of our phone conversations.)

I've heard the woodchipper story. The husband rented a woodchipper. Killed his wife and ran her through the machine. So obviously he cleaned the machine really well. This made the rental agency very suspicious because the only reason people ever cleaned equipment that well was to try to limit the amount of inspection done on return. So they figured he'd broken it and did a full inspection. This revealed the wife's wedding ring stuck in the teeth. They called the police. The police went looking for the wife and found the husband and murder scene. Not sure if it happened in Minnesota or Wisconsin I've lived all my life in one state or the other.

OMG! Bro! What a hot take!!!

As someone who was born in North Dakota, and grew up in Minnesota, I can confirm that the accent is overplayed for comedy, but there is definitely a pronounced accent here. Around the Minneapolis and St. Paul, you’d be hard pressed to find people who talk like they do in the movie, but further away from the cities that you get into some of the more rural areas, especially up in northern Minnesota, you do find people here and there that have an accent similar to what you are hearing in the movie. And my dad and I will do the Steve Buscemi bit if we’re driving somewhere and the other one hasn’t said anything in awhile. 20:15 And this is why if you are going to shoot someone close up, you aim for the head.

Great reaction, from someone who lives up here in MN. Really enjoy the way you guys work. And as always, Pippin is a star. I’m very hard to sell on most TV series, especially if they’re built around a movie I love, but the Fargo series is a rare exception. Each season more or less stands on its own, with a different cast, so it’s not like a big commitment that must be followed, and the seasons are about 10 episodes each. Seasons 1 and 2 are classic, and season 3 is very good. Only 4 tends to go off track. And after a long break, 5 is now being released with much enthusiasm.

“Cuz the machine’s broken.” Lololol
