The Silence of the Lambs (1991) feat. Reyna Cervantes

The lambs have stopped screaming so we're going all-in on Jonathan Demme's critically-acclaimed and Oscar-winning film The Silence of the Lambs. Joining us is Reyna Cervantes, the co-host of the Horror In Session podcast!

In what is an admittedly unorthodox episode for us, we eschew a traditional plot summary in favor of a more analytical episode, looking back at the film's development while tackling the transphobic elements of Buffalo Bill and the impact it has had on the trans community in the 30 years since the film's release.

Plus, feminist horror, intent vs. impact, and what would a 4th season of Hannibal look like with Clarice Starling?

Reference: 30 years in, The Silence Of The Lambs’ Jame Gumb still deserves better, Harmony Colangelo for The A.V. Club
