The Silence of the Lambs

In 1991, Ted Tally adapted the Thomas Harris novel The Silence of the Lambs, and the world was never the same again. A rare Oscar-winning horror film, Silence stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starline, Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, with Ted Levine and Scott Glenn supporting as Buffalo Bill and Jack Crawford respectively. Equal parts thrilling, creepy, and satisfying, audiences and critics alike were impressed with this hard-hitting movie, and they continue to be as Silence of the Lambs continues to be considered one of the most influential films of all time. Made for $19M, Hannibal the Cannibal went on to rake in $272M at the box office and swept the big five categories at the Oscars. But does it hold up? Listen as Jon, Colin and Brent revisit the asylum and see if Hannibal has the same impact on their souls after nearly 30 years, chilling them to the bone as they are unable to look away, or if they fall prey to a sadistic woman suit maker who wants to do himself so hard while the boys put the lotion in the basket.
