Fargo: season 2 recap/review

Season 1 box art

Season two of Fargo premiered on FX, last season was done just as well as the film and connected to it nicely just when people were wondering how the show was made from the film. If you didn't get a chance to see either, you can click the above image for the show or catch-up on your preferred streaming service.

This season takes place in 1979 and looks at the earlier generation of law enforcement in the Solverson family. If you remember Molly Solverson from season 1 you'll be familiar with the name. That's what makes these stories in the Fargo universe unique. The first season was lightly connected to the film by connecting the money Steve Buscemi's character from the film left in the snow, to a family in the series.

This season is doing it with a family name to introduce a whole new list of characters for season two. The first half hour has enough surprises in it to draw you in for this season, if you're not watching it, you should. Its on pretty late because the violence definitely pushes the limits for TV.

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.

I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed .

The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans. Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better. Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
