("The Tiger" aka The Power Suit Episode)

Helping them cover Fargo Season 5, Episode 5, Lisa & Dean are thrilled to be joined by special guest Scott Winant, a two-time Emmy award-winning director and producer who has worked on high-profile shows like Breaking Bad, True Blood, Yellowjackets and \u2026Season 1 of FARGO! (How many people get to say they\u2019ve directed Key and Peele as FBI Agents? Well Scott has!) Scott shares his unique insights on the Fargo series given his former director of photography was none other than Dana Gonzalez who directed this week\u2019s episode \u201cThe Tiger\u201d.\xa0 As usual, we dissect the cinematic choices, the wardrobe (Lorraine and her intricate power suits), the unfolding origami of the story and the showdown between our two favorite villains.\xa0

We also take a moment to remember the wonderful actor Andr\xe9 Braugher who sadly we lost this week. Scott directed him in the pilot of \u201cMen of a Certain Age\u201d and shares his remembrance of this powerful performer.\xa0
