Come and celebrate the four year anniversary of Wake Up Heavy with this
Very Special Episode on a film in my
Top Ten of All Time list. Chris Stachiw
(The Kulturecast)
and Mike White (The Projection Booth Podcast) join me to discuss Jonathan
Demme's 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs.
Written by Ted Tally and based on the novel by Thomas Harris, Silence stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee, Scott Glenn as Special Agent Jack Crawford, Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and Ted Levine as Jame Gumb, aka Jamie Gumb, aka John Grant, aka Jack Gordon, aka Buffalo Bill. The film follows Starling as she matches wits with Lecter in an attempt to track down a notorious serial killer before he can kill and skin his next victim. The film was a huge financial and critical success and went on to win “The Big Five” categories at the 1992 Academy Awards.
