Filmwhys #23 Fargo and Hellboy
Welcome to yet another episode of Filmwhys aka the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast. This time around Justin Gott from Man, I Love Films and The Rambling Ramblers Podcast helps expand my Coen Brothers filmography by asking me why I haven’t seen Fargo, one of their best if not their best film to date. Featuring Minnesota accents, a wood chipper, and Marge Gunderson in a backdrop of stark white snow. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen Hellboy, one of the movies that helped bring Guillermo del Toro to the big time with his imaginative take on the blue collar demon in a governmental supernatural research agency.

Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights 
Big Del Toro fan. Hellboy is a fabulous movie. Is one of my favorites of all time.
I like the sequel better, though I have to say that Justin wasn’t quite as big a fan of it.
The sequel has quite a lot of good points. The biggest strike against it is that it has a bit too silly of a tone. If it was any sillier, I wouldn’t like it. Perlman is also less in character and playing the parts of himself that aren’t Hellboy (while in the first he played himself but still staye in character, if that makes any sense). From what GDT has revealed about his plans for a possible third film (*fingers crossed*), the finale to the trilogy will be quite dark indeed, maybe even darker than the first.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love the second, but it has problems.
Of course, the first has problems, too.
