The store across the street from Bud's Butcher shop is named "Mike Zoss". Mike Zoss Productions is the production company owned by the Coen brothers. It was apparently named after a pharmacy where they grew up in Minnesota. In No Country for Old Men, Chigurgh also blows up a car in front of a place called "Mike Zoss Pharmacy". The song that plays while Peggy is on the way the way to the body shop to pick up their car is a cover version of the song "Let's Find Each Other Tonight" by Jose Feliciano. Feliciano briefly appeared as himself in Fargo. He performs a solo version of the song in the scene were Steve Buscemi is on a date with an escort girl. The song was also not written until a few years after this season takes place. I'm sure there's more Coen Bros. references, but these are the two that really stood out to me.

2023-10-30 01:34:50 +0000 UTC"gift of the magi" indeed, great story to look up if you're not familiar. go Peggy, its the thought that counts. Also love Noreen probing Ed with Camus mortality right before someone tries to kill them. King Bruce as shallow Reagan was a perfect surprise.

2023-10-28 23:33:49 +0000 UTCThe scene with Mollys mom and her dad in kitchen when the dad says "If your Mom was here she would know what to say"...that killed me. You know that he knows his daughter is probably going to die...and no parent should have to handle that.

2023-10-28 22:37:15 +0000 UTC"maybe the girl and the young Gerhardt will fall in love" as kid comes in to kill the Butcher....Ok Cassie.
