A self-indulgent Landman-adjacent note: I am Permian High School's football radio color analyst, and they did some Permian high football scenes to provide that authentic sense of the Odessa setting. Those scenes come from the 2024 Permian spring game, so I was down on the field while they were filming (we did not do the spring game on the radio -- we were there just to get a feel for the 2024 team, chat with coaches and players, and that sort of thing.) When I left the field I got a nod from Billy Bob. Go MOJO!
I feel like I've done a lot of interesting things in my career and my life, and yet hands down the thing people want to talk about when they find out is the Permian radio gig.
Might be worth watching for Hamm, who was stellar in the latest Fargo season. No doubts about how the writers of that show feel about conservatives....
"Hamm is barely used at all (though still much more than Moore) for most of those episodes, but in the fifth he gets a quality rant about the stupidity of oil and natural gas’ opponents that I can only assume was presented to him ahead of time as the lure for his participation. Nevertheless, the gap in quality material between this and his Emmy nominated turn in Fargo is vast."--Daniel Feinberg, Hollywood Reporter. So I decided it was entirely safe to watch this show as a reward for getting to the end of LinkedIn notifications (this could happen in the next few days)
I am appreciative that our host thought this review was safe to publish
The Jerry Jones scene is one of the stranger things I’ve seen on television. Jerry delivers this heartfelt, teary eyed monologue about the importance of family in business. Presumably this was all written by Taylor for him?
Also, it’s pretty clear when you watch it that he is not in the same room with Jon Hamm and Billy Bob Thornton when this is shot. I guess Taylor just had him read this monologue separately and used a double for coverage.
It's a weird scene in multiple ways. It basically justifies nepotism in business and I kept wondering if it was a subtle endorsement of Trump's business approach.
And yet... Jones knocks his monologue out of the park!

That's pretty cool.

Fabulous in Fargo - couldn’t stop watching

Oh the irony of stars fluffing the oil industry as their homes burn largely if not entirely because of that industry.
I could only watch first and second episodes, terrible IMO.
Jon Hamm exit interview published today with some comments on the Jerry Jones scene. B"H his home is safe

When the guy cut off his own little finger with his pocketknife is when I turned off the tv.

Isn't Trump's approach more like FoxNewspotism?
