Ep. 3: Fargo

The Drunk Projectionist

When the Coen Brothers released "Fargo" in 1996, pretty much all of North Dakota and Minnesota got upset. "We don't talk like that," they said. Well, the Drunk Projectionist's Todd Melby is from North Dakota and he's here to tell you they do. In this episode, you'll hear an audio documentary he produced with Diane Richard. The doc features the film's dialect coach Elizabeth Himmelstein (7:00), actor William H. Macy (10:10) actor Stephen Park dissecting his Mike Yanagita role (15:30), marketing the city of Fargo to tourists (20:20), film professor Bob Cowgill (26:55), actor Bain Boehlke talks about his role as Mr. Mohra (30:50), female cops discuss Marge Gunderson (33:45), actor John Carroll Lynch on his role as Norm Gunderson (42:00), director Ethan Coen (44:45) and actor Tony Denman on his role as Scotty Lundegaard (46:15).
