Fargo's Silver Jubilee - Airs Nov 3rd & 8th

We Don't Talk Like That: 'Fargo' and the Midwest Psyche by 2 Below Zero ~
In 2016, Todd Melby made an audio documentary about the 1996 movie 'Fargo'. His research started him down a rabbit hole which would eventually lead to the publication of his fantastic new book A Lot Can Happen In the Middle of Nowhere: The Untold Story of the Making of Fargo. We're going to listen back to that original doc and remember what all the fuss was about. Initially, 'Fargo' stirred widespread curiosity about snowy winters, funny accents, and bloody mayhem on the frozen tundra. It also won two Oscars and inspired a popular television series. But how well did it actually capture and reflect the region? Producers Diane Richard and Todd Melby unravel the mystery behind the parkas, prowlers, and wood chippers in interviews with actors William H. Macy, John Carroll Lynch, Stephen Park, Tony Denman, dialect coach Liz Himelstein, women in law enforcement, and many more. Narrated by Bruce Bohne of Deputy Lou fame. You bet you can file this under essential listening for diehard fans of "Fargo."

To celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, the Heights Theater is showing Fargo on Thursday, November 11th at 7:30pm. GET TICKETS HERE. As part of his book tour, author Todd Melby will also be there to introduce the film and help us to peer behind the movie making curtain!
