Episode 57 - The Silence of the Lambs - a podcast by Movie Podcast

This week we're joining the FBI (our ID expires next week) as we check out only the 3rd film to win The Big Five Academy Awards in Jonathan Demme's The SIlence of the Lambs just a couple of weeks after its 25th anniversary.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie - and Ethan from Talking The Mickey – as we head to Quantico with lots of questions as we head for the last cell on the left.  It's an obstacle course of a 57th episode as we discuss

• How much was spent on the rights to the character of Hannibal Lecter


• Why the FBI gave the film their full cooperation


• If Hannibal Lecter is the most honest character in the film


• Why the filmmakers chose to dress Hannibal in white once he relocates to the federal facility


• Ian goes on a tangent about the meaning of the word 'quite'


• We debate who gives the better performance, Hopkins or Foster


• We debate which biopic is better: Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocketman


• Whether or not Silence of the Lambs is the Best Film Ever
