Justified

Jim and A.Ron talk about the excellent, but under-appreciated, Justified on FX.

Taylor Elmore Interview – Season 3 Wrap Up

Hey Justified fans, we’re back for a season 3 wrap up! We’re happy to have Justified Writer / Producer Taylor Elmore on the show again to guide us through last season’s twists and turns and give us an idea of what we might be in store for in the coming season. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it.

313 – “Slaughterhouse”

The season three finale of Justified, “Slaughterhouse”! Some of you thought it was brilliant, some of you liked it, some of you were disappointed, but it happened, and now we need to talk about it, and where it leaves us for seasons to come. We talk about our reactions, the recap, what Yost says is coming down the pike, and lots of your feedback. Hopefully we’ll have one more retrospective with a special guest, but if not, see you next season!

312 – Coalition

A pretty satisfying lead up to the finale that is marred only by a cleverly camouflaged but ultimately implausible escape attempt that involved opening up a kimono a little too much for everyone’s comfort. Quarles, Boyd, Limehouse, Dickie, and Raylan are all on a collision course. Who’s going to survive? We’ll find out next week, but until then, enjoy our recap, listener feedback, and a less useless than usual spoiler section, if you’re into that sort of thing.

311 – Measures

As I sit watching A.Ron chug moonshine and polish his revolver I can’t help but recount our history, wondering if I’ve done anything that might justify retribution. I’m fairly certain that the worst I deserve is a dutch oven next week when we share a room at PAX but it makes a man nervous. Since he’s indisposed, there will be no witty remarks nor clever wordplay; unless you consider the revolver comment a euphemism.

310 – “Guy Walks Into a Bar”

It’s super late, and I’m in the grip of the ‘shine, so let’s make this short and sweet like the last gulp of Magg’s apple pie. This episode was Neal McDonough’s Emmy submission, and just about ’nuff said. Raylan is bad ass, Art is funny, Quarles is scary, Wynn wonders what the fuck he’s gotten into, and hell, there’s even some Dicky action. What more do you want?

308 – “Watching the Detectives”

Who’s in more trouble? Raylan, Boyd, or Quarles? We break down this and more in this week’s episode covering another awesome hour of Justified. Join Jim and A.Ron as they discuss Limehouse making power plays, Raylan’s legal trouble, Quarles’ being tempted by the Beast within, Raylan putting on a clinic for how not to handle the police, and ask; does Wynn’s carpet match the drapes?!

307 – “The Man Behind The Curtain”

Things on Justified are heating up faster than a hand soaked in lye and hit with a steam jet! Join Jim and A.Ron for a discussion of problems in the round barn, the importance of keeping drugs away from schools, the suddenly complicated political situation in Harlan’s Sheriff elections, Raylan’s new digs, Tim not being impressed with Raylan’s “mad ninja skills”, Quarles wheeling and dealing, and the dramatic return of Gary! We cap it off with a brief spoiler section in which we consider the preview for next week’s episode in order to glean any insights that may be had and some info about casting news.

In Ted K’s latest missive as our very own Eastern Kentucky embedded reporter, he included a couple of outstanding photos of Harlan.  I’m going to turn it over to him to discuss: Ted K:  I took a trip to Harlan County this weekend and while there was able to capture a photo from the exact spot…

In case you missed it, be sure to check out our interview with Justified writer/producer Taylor Elmore that we released earlier tonight. After that, join us for a discussion of Quarles’ hobbies, Raylan having a bad day, what’s up with Winona, Limehouse’s rebellion, and Arlo’s possible senility. Then in the feedback section we hear from our fans, including another informative dispatch from our embedded Kentucky reporter, Ted. We cap it off with a brief spoiler section in which we consider the preview for next week’s episode in order to glean any insights that may be had.
