malfeasance

Why are we facing so many disasters? Trains are derailing, chickens don't lay ages. Avian flu supposedly spreading through the chicken farms. Random acts of theft and assault go unpunished. Leaders make decisions that seem to be completely contrary to the so called public good. Why? Is it fifth generational warfare?

After a cold, geographic Leech Anatomy 101 segment (2:29), Aaron, Banks and Evan dive into Fargo's leechiest themes (13:46), scenes (21:24), and characters (32:19). To get some relief, the guys head into another frosty Leech on a Beach segment (38:10). They conclude by considering the film’s medicinal qualities (41:27) and giving an overall rating -- from 1 to 4 -- of the film’s leechiness (47:33).
