Yeah, you betcha we're talkin' Fargo. Not the movie, that was from 1996, but the terrific TV series that started in 2014 with an all-star cast including Billy Bob Thornton, Colin Hanks, Alison Lohman, Martin Freeman, Adam Goldberg, Bob Odenkirk, Oliver Platt, Glenn Howerton, and more. This was a wonderful reimagining of the spectacular source material. We break it down the PCY way.
Since all things Fargo have such a deep connection to Minnesota, we took this opportunity to draft the best in pop culture from our great state. Whether you knew it or not, Minnesota has a plethora of options to choose from. Listen now to hear what we picked!

July is a special month for PCY. Last year we went on vacation and talked about all the Vacation movies. This year we're doing a staycation. Everything is Minnesota-related! This first episode will tell you everything you'd want to know about our great state.
10,000 lakes, the Mall of America, the State Fair, Paul Bunyan, Minnesota Nice, hockey, and the weather are just some of the topics we tackle here. Minnesotans will love this one because we love our state. Non-Minnesotans will love it for the education and fun!

"When you make love, do you look in your mirror?" It's an age-old question. But it's just one of the many topics addressed in Def Leppard's seminal album Hysteria. Giff couldn't get enough of this classic in 1987, and he still can't now. Does it hold up for Brad and Pete? What about the few songs that weren't hits? How does it compare to Pyromania? Turns out there is a lot to say still today.
Not only do we answer those questions, but we even veer off at the end of the episode to finish our tour of 1987 with our favorite TV of the year. As 11 year-olds, there was plenty we were watching. Turn this one up now. It's time for you to start getting it, really getting it. Are you getting it???

Now that you know all about Minnesota, it's time for some fun. The next three weeks are all guests and games. This episode focuses on movies filmed in or related to Minnesota. For this one, Giff has created a brilliant spinoff of the initials game made famous by our local radio station KFAN.
To challenge Brad and Pete, we've got three other contestants. You already know Dave. He's back! But so is Brian Rappe from our Office Space episode! Then we have newcomer Chris. He'll tell us about his pop culture influences before things get heated as we all face off for the pride of being #1.

This is it!! This is the 100th time we've done this. To commemorate, we are talking about maybe the most perfect film ever made: Three Amigos! OK, maybe it isn't perfect, but to us, it encapsulates so much about who we are and what has influenced us that it is the perfect choice for this occasion. From Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short to cameos from Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman to El Guapo to Santa Poco to the music of Randy Newman, this movie has everything. Oh, and it came out when we were 10 years old in 1986, the perfect time to hit us just right.
In addition to covering every aspect of this classic, we also share our favorites episodes to share with you so far in the first 100 AND we share the top 5 things we were excited to show our kids as they were growing up. This is a jam-packed episode!
If you are a regular listener or even checking us out for the first time, we can't thank you enough. Thank you for indulging our silly thoughts and jokes.
