This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re uncorking a nice bottle of Chianti (fava beans optional) and diving deep into Jonathan Demme’s psychological horror masterpiece, The Silence of the Lambs.
Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling is just trying to graduate FBI school without too many nightmares, but instead she’s sent to have polite conversation time with the most terrifying dinner host in cinema history — Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a man who can dissect your psyche and your spleen in one sitting. All the while, there’s another killer on the loose: Buffalo Bill, the man who’s somehow more horrifying than the guy who eats people, and who has singlehandedly ensured that no one will ever hear “Goodbye Horses” the same way again.
We’ll sip and chat about everything from Hopkins’ bone-chilling “Hello, Clarice” to the art of making a basement scene so tense you’ll forget how to breathe. We’ll also explore why The Silence of the Lambs is still one of the most unsettling — and oddly classy — horror thrillers ever made.
So grab your drink of choice (maybe skip the Chianti if you’re squeamish), join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker, and let’s talk serial killers, FBI mind games, and exactly how much lotion is too much lotion in the basket.
