Thanksgorging Week 5 - The Silence of the Lambs

Happy Cyber Monday, Goons!!! This last week of November, Jake and Ade go through The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme and adapted from Thomas Harris' novel of the same name (screenplay by Ted Tally--who also adapted Red Dragon!). We chose this one for its gorging/cannibalism by Dr. Hannibal Lecter, but also because it is truly a cinematic masterpiece. From its score by Howard Shore (Scanners, Se7en, Videodrome, The Fly, Big, etc...), to the incredible acting chops of Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lecter, Ted Levine as the titular Buffalo Bill, and the subtle nuanced delivery of Clarice Starling's character played by the amazing Jodie Foster, it is genuinely a captivating film that just so happens to cross multiple genres.

Find out why we think Dr. Lecter is such a fascinating, principled villain, in comparison to the likes of Dr. Doom and Magneto; why we believe Clarice Starling is more than just an object; and find out about all of the fun cameos by George A. Romero, Chris Isaak and Roger Corman, among many others.

In addition, we have several new designs available on our Redbubble at slasherspod.redbubble.com, please be sure to check them out and use Cyber5 for a discount.

Stick around for next month with our December theme!
