Have you ever noticed that many of the most iconic evil-doers in movies seem, well, pretty gay? Think Scar from the Lion King, Jafar from Aladdin, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Miss Trunchbull from Matilda, Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs. We have often regarded this as a problem to fix, a literal villainization that has hurt the queer community's public image. For this Pride episode, however, entertainment journalist and co-host of the podcast This Ends at Prom, BJ Colangelo, explains to us that there may be a more interesting way to look at it.

Norman Bates — the original "something is very off about this guy" villain. And Dr. Evil — because sometimes evil just needs a Mini Me and a cat.The real debate: Are the best villains the ones who think they're the hero? Jay says yes. Killmonger had reasons.

Si en capítulo anterior hablamos de los mentores que te hubiera gustado tener, hoy vienen a visitarnos LOS QUE TAMBIÉN TE GUSTARÍA TENER. La ficción está llena de héroes con grandes maestros. Pero los villanos tienen algo mucho más interesante: alguien que los rompió, los manipuló o les enseñó a mirar el mundo de otra manera. En este episodio analizamos a los mentores que moldearon monstruos. Los que enseñaron odio, ambición, nihilismo o poder. Palpatine, Ra's al Ghul, Magneto o Hannibal Lecter. Intentaremos responder a la gran pregunta: ¿el villano nace... o alguien le enseña a serlo? Con Mon Suárez. Y los memes de @diamocasin. Con El Selenita a cargo de la creatividad digital.

"Problem-solving is hunting; it is savage pleasure and we are born to it.” – Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Silence of the LambsJoin the Amys for a fascinating conversation with innovative dog trainer Melissa McCue-McGrath, who's turning canine noses into powerful conservation tools… What started as a simple passion project for a research article has grown into a mission-driven crusade against the spotted lanternfly—one of America's most destructive invasive species.We explore how scent detection training works, why dogs are uniquely suited for this kind of environmental work, and how Melissa is bringing this training into shelters—giving dogs not only enrichment and purpose, but potentially a second chance at adoption. From the science of odor detection to the real-world impact on ecosystems and agriculture, this conversation bridges behavior, enrichment, and conservation in a truly inspiring way.Whether you're a trainer, veterinarian, or just someone who loves seeing dogs make a difference, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what our canine companions are capable of, and how they might just help save our trees.Grab a cocktail, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees
Why are there so many songs about rainbows (and what's on the other side)? A bridge between worlds, a map to a pot of gold, the centerpiece of a Lisa Frank trapper-keeper, and of course, an ever-changing symbol of the LGBTQ+ community, the rainbow has been a profound part of the human experience for thousands of years. For this early Pride Month episode, science correspondent and bisexual seagull Lulu Miller explains to Sarah the history of our understanding of rainbows: why they exist, what they are made out of, and what they have represented. Together they discuss the figures that have tried to pin down this natural wonder, the power of its spectrum of meaning, and the comfort and terror of the infinity it once represented. Digressions include the boring transcendence of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the secret joys of trigonometry, and the best gay Hannibal Lecter.

On episode 211 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with In Shallows! Comprised of Bobby Wharton (guitar), Colin Trombley (vocals), Graham Fortier (drums) and Matt Pro (bass, clean vocals), In Shallows is a metalcore band based in Keene, New Hampshire. After forming in December 2019, In Shallows released their debut EP entitled Beneath The Surface in October 2021. Recorded at Hell Here Studios with Saving Vice guitarist Robbie Litchfield, Beneath The Surface proved to be another great metalcore debut in a long line of New England metalcore lineage. Since the release of Beneath The Surface in 2021, In Shallows has built their audience through numerous singles and energetic live shows, both at home and on the road. They've shared the stage with the likes of the aforementioned Saving Vice, Devitalized, Fight From Within, Rose Lane, Dead Within Days, and Valoria, among others. In Shallows' musical range has also included everything from covering Post Malone's "Hollywood's Bleeding" in 2022, to their 2023 hit "Venom," the latter of which is nearing 1 million streams on Spotify alone. On March 6th, In Shallows dropped their latest single entitled "Side Effects." For "Side Effects" and their forthcoming new record, In Shallows again teamed up with Litchfield. In this episode, Mike speaks with In Shallows about "Side Effects," including the gnarly music video with Colin in Hannibal Lecter-esque garb, working with Litchfield, covering Post Malone, their forthcoming record, growing as a band over the years, and more. This episode also features the aforementioned "Side Effects" from In Shallows, available where you get your music! Follow In Shallows on Instagram @inshallows.

This week we discuss how villains used to be good and have maybe gotten too soft over the years. What happened to the straight up villains of the past like Hannibal Lecter, John Doe, and Nurse Ratched. Evil has gotten weaker throught the years and we discuss how that happened while naming some of our favorite villains and how themes are now villains rather than characters. After that, Emily plays the villain tournament where she decides who is, in her opinion, the greatest villain of them all. Thanks for listening.

In a complaint that has seen more miles at this point than Dale Earnhardt, Jr could have ever hoped, Team Maxwell is once again evoking the name of a fictional serial killer.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com(commercial at 13 mins)Source:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/04/ghislaine-maxwell-jail-lawyers-hannibal-lecter-bail-requestBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team mounted repeated efforts to secure her release on bail ahead of trial, arguing that the conditions of her confinement in a New York detention facility were excessively harsh and unjustified. In court filings, her attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, described the environment as “reprehensible and utterly inappropriate,” emphasizing that Maxwell had been held for an extended period under intense restrictions despite having no prior criminal record or history of violence. The defense framed her treatment as disproportionate, particularly given that she was awaiting trial and had not been convicted, and used these arguments to support renewed requests for pretrial release.A central claim in those filings drew a dramatic comparison between Maxwell's detention and the fictional imprisonment of Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, with her lawyers arguing that the level of surveillance and control imposed on her was excessively invasive. They pointed to constant monitoring, restrictive conditions during legal visits, and what they characterized as degrading treatment to argue that she was being subjected to unusually severe measures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Lets do a breakdown of one of the best thrillers of the 90s to see if it still holds up in 2026. Or is it just Hannibal Lecter is so iconic?

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay have some fava beans and a nice Chianti before talking about the thriller masterpiece, 'The Silence of the Lambs.' Andy is the first to rub the lotion on his skin, as he recalls having to make an illegal deal with a looney guy who bred exotic moths, butterflies, and other creepy crawlies similar to Buffalo Bill. Then the boys dive into Jonathan Demme's classic that spawned countless imitators, and some truly regrettable sequels. The guys try to make sense of Hannibal Lecter's otherworldly abilities such as being able to smell as if he was part X-Men. This leads to comparing Anthony Hopkins' unforgettable turn as the cannibalistic doctor versus Brian Cox's more subdued portrayal in the '80s. Hopkins and Jodie Foster may have been bestowed with the most critical acclaim, but Ted Levine plays the actual villain in this film, and his Buffalo Bill is skin-crawlingly effective. Andy and Bombay wonder why he was never given the prestigious career that others had. Maybe it was the tuck scene that turned people off? They truly do not make them like this anyone — that refers to this box office studio smash, and this podcast.

Filmi, dokumentarci, televizijske serije, podkasti, literatura. Ni ga medija, v katerem se ne bi pojavljala ena najbolj - za nekatere navdihujoča, za druge strašljiva - figura sodobnega časa – serijski morilec. Naj gre za medijsko, popkulturno ali literarno reprezentacijo, nas zanima ta ekstrem človeštva: kaj ga žene? Zakaj je postal pošast? Kako izbira žrtev? Kako ga bodo oziroma so ga ujeli? Statistično gledano, so serijski umori redki, medijsko gledano, pa nemalokrat zapolnjujejo prostor in čas ter seveda vse kotičke naše domišljije. Pri tem nas ne zanima kriminal kot dejanje, temveč gre tudi za potrebo po pripovedovanju zgodb o zlu. V oddaji Intelekta o tem, kako mediji in pop kultura konstruirajo naše zaznavanje o serijskih morilcih in zakaj so tako priljubljen narativni element, ki pritegne pozornost. Gosti:- doc. dr. Eva Vrtačič z oddelka za kulturologijo in centra za metodologijo in informatiko na Fakulteti za družbene vede (z dr. Karmen Šterk je napisala monografijo Serijska kultura, popularni morilec: serijski morilec v popularni kulturi),- filozofinja in raziskovalka na Univerzi v Ljubljani dr.

Welcome to Light ‘Em Up!At the conclusion of the editing and postproduction process for this episode in preparation for its upload and debut - DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired from her role as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.Tonight, on this brand-new, intense episode we'll investigate and examine the more than 32 deaths that have happened at the hands of Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).It may come as a surprise, but the killing of Renee Good (a mother of three) and Alex Pretti (an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System Hospital in Minnesota) were not the first and they won't be the last.We'll drill down on the Department of Homeland Security — an organization led by individuals who lack both qualifications and integrity.This witch's brew often forces an organization — whether desired or not -- to eventually face severe consequences, ranging from operational inefficiencies to catastrophic, fatal incidents.Research indicates that when leadership prioritizes self-interest over competence and honesty, it creates a toxic culture that undermines safety and performance. ICE has made our streets unsafe with its tyrannical tactics, terrorizing our own people in the name of Trump.Since returning to office in 2025, President Trump has implemented a "hardline" and "maximalist" immigration policy focused on executing the largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history.The administration doesn't care how the policy is carried out — ONLY that it is — so that Stephen Miller can satisfy his own sick, sadistic wishes.Miller is credited with shaping the racist and draconian immigration policies of President Trump, and Noem oversaw carrying those decisions out, which include:— zero-tolerance policy, also known as family separation,— the Muslim ban and— ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.As we go to air with this episode, a federal judge accuses the White House of ‘terror' against immigrants in the U.S.The administration has pursued a whole-of-government approach to identify, detain, and remove undocumented immigrants, aiming for a "1 million per year" deportation goal.But, in the process, there've been:— tremendous oversights,— poor procedural safeguards and protocols put in place,— very little to no training for new hires,— negligence and outright lies which have led to more than 32 people's death across the nation.We'll introduce you to those who have lost their lives at the hands of the governmental “political theater” that is unfolding right in front of our own eyes, daily.We will report that the (former) DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem is an outright liar — as is her boss. That isn't opinion — that is fact and we have the receipts to prove it.Be sure to tune in for our reporting regarding a completely fabricated story — that Noem stated in one of her press briefings to the nation — about a man in deportation proceedings “cannibalizing” others, then, himself, like the fictitious character Hannibal Lecter, who Trump thinks is a real person.As we speak truth to power, we never cower — as we expose the fact that Secretary Noem has deported U.S. military veterans AND U.S. citizens and lied and covered up about that as well.As a painter paints and a singer sings, a liar lies.The streets of the U.S. are safer with Noem ousted at the top of DHS, but the man tapped to be her replacement isn't much of an improvement.Tune in for this episode and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we celebrate one of our great Welshmen: Anthony Hopkins! Our B-Sides include When Eight Bells Toll, Juggernaut, Spotswood, and Instinct. Our guest is the great Brian Raftery, whose new book Hannibal Lecter: A Life “traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann's Manhunter and Jonathan Demme's Academy Award–winning The Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV series Hannibal.” We discuss Hopkins' iconic voice, his tumultuous early years and struggle to become a leading man. There's his honest and interesting autobiography, his incredible range, his Wales-connection to the great Richard Burton, and his incredibly practical outlook to the acting profession. Brian, Conor, and I go long on the actors that have played Hannibal, the movie Freejack, Hopkins' directorial efforts August and Slipstream, and that time Hopkins played a working man's James Bond named Phil (When Eight Bells Toll). There's love paid to Bill Forsyth, Jodie Foster, Kate Burton, and The Edge.
When villagers in a remote Thai forest heard screams echoing from the woods every hour for three straight days, they were convinced the legends of ancient spirits haunting those trees had come to life. In Taiwan, a woman and her young daughter walked into an elevator, rode to the top floor of an 11-story building, and seemingly vanished, feeding into the internet's most haunting urban legends, “The Elevator Game”. And in England, a prisoner they call "Hannibal the Cannibal" has been locked in a glass cell underground for over 40 years, but how much of his legend is actually true?

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Brady back on the show to discuss the 1986 thriller Manhunter. In this Michael Mann-directed prequel (but not really) to The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter (or Lecktor (?) for some reason) is asked by the FBI to help track down a serial killer (RIP to Tom Noonan). Hannibal should really be charging for all the killers he tracks down We dive deep into the history of Lecter and the difference between this moive and Red Dragon (the real prequel to Lambs). Enjoy the podcast!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing).

Join hosts Gaius and Jackson on Back To The Blockbuster as we dive deep into the iconic film 'The Silence of the Lambs' on its 35th anniversary and its 2001 sequel, Hannibal, for its 25th anniversary. Explore the psychological thriller's enduring legacy crafted by director Jonathan Demme and screenwriter Ted Tally, based on the gripping novel by Thomas Harris. Delve into the unforgettable performances of Jodie Foster as the determined Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as the chilling Dr. Hannibal Lecter, alongside a stellar cast including Scott Glenn, Anthony Heald, Ted Levine, and Kasi Lemmons. Unpack the film's intricate narrative and haunting atmosphere that continues to captivate audiences decades later. In addition, we reflect on director Ridley Scott's visionary approach with Hannibal and how the source material and screenplay by David Mamet and Steven Zaillian created a much different beast from its predecessor. We revisit the performances of Julianne Moore as Clarice Starling, Gary Oldman as the grotesque Mason Verger, and Ray Liotta as the corrupt Paul Krendler, alongside returning stars Anthony Hopkins and Frankie R. Faison. Explore the darker themes and intricate character dynamics that define a much different chapter in the Hannibal Lecter saga compared to the first movie and how they measure up side by side on their respective milestone anniversaries.Where To Watch The Silence of the LambsWhere To Watch Hannibal
We've donned our culturally inappropriate samurai gear to do battle with the 2007 sequel, Hannibal Rising. You'll hear how quickly we think this movie goes off the rails as it starts to build sympathy for the serial killing character we know as Hannibal Lecter, so many tangents about a myriad of things that have nothing to do with this sequel, and a disagreement about what we should be talking about at the end of this film as one of us has clearly given up wanting to talk about this sloppy mess of a movie.

In honor of the 35th anniversary of The Silence of the Lambs (1991), we're releasing special retro coverage of the film. This commissioned podcast is brought to you by the generosity of one Aaron Spaulding, thank you! Aaron wanted us to check out the 1991 mystery/thriller, "The Silence of the Lambs", directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. It's no surprise that we're mesmerized by Hopkin's performance of the chilling yet suave and charming Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and found the film offered some smart commentary on a female breaking into a male dominated space as well. What might be to some surprise is Jim and A.Ron's relative unfamiliarity with the material, which led to some confusion in places. Hope you enjoy the podcast, I hear it pairs well with a nice Chianti. Hey there!

Remember that weird moment in the 2024 campaign cycle where Donald Trump started referring to how much he loved and identified with “the late, great Hannibal Lecter”? That was odd, right? I discussed that and more with Brian Raftery, whose new book Hannibal Lecter: A Life is both the perfect Valentine's Day gift for the love consuming your heart and a fascinating portrait of a bizarre creation from a reclusive writer. Indeed, the most interesting part of the book is the early deep dive into the life and writing of Thomas Harris, who has given just a handful of interviews over his nearly 50-year career.

Sigo dando vueltas al cierre de campaña en Aragón, con Azcón y Feijóo anunciados en el mismo cartel que Vito Quiles. Diríanse sus teloneros. Después de ver los resultados supongo que en este momento el genio que pensó que era buena idea estará siendo azotado en las mazmorras de Génova 13, que seguro que existen. Y me las imagino con fotos de Álvarez Cascos disfrazado de Hannibal Lecter. Se ve que el PP estaba detectando una fuga de voto joven a Vox y pensaron que, en vez de explicar las diferencias entre ambos proyectos, la mejor manera era mimetizarse con ellos.Recordemos que Quiles fue en las listas a las Europeas por Se Acabó La Fiesta, partido del que fue además jefe de prensa. Y que ese partido se presentaba también a las elecciones, obteniendo, por cierto, el triple de votos que Podemos. O sea que podemos decir que el resultado de unir a Vito Quiles con las siglas PP -las siglas de Gregorio Ordoñez, de Miguel Ángel Blanco, de Loyola de Palacio- ha terminado funcionado como una losa para el PP y como un resorte para su propio partido, que quedó bendecido por Feijóo como opción legítima. Una genialidad al alcance de pocos.A mí esto de Tellado alabando a Quiles me recordaba a Gil hablando de los chavales del Frente como si fueran boy scouts. Y menos mal que no han detectado una fuga de votos hacia el PSOE, que si no, por la misma lógica, habrían llevado al mitin a Óscar Puente. Aunque he pensado que si lo que querían era presentarse como alternativa al populismo, quizá lo de Quiles haya sido poco ambicioso. Yo habría llevado a los de Desokupa. U organizado una pelea entre Yung Beef y uno del Palmar de Troya. O una pelea de gallos. O mira, ya que estamos, que hubieran llevado directamente a Abascal y le hubieran pedido perdón por la enorme afrenta de haber tratado de robarle unos cuantos miles de votos.
This week on Dads From the Crypt, we're revisiting Jonathan Demme's landmark psychological horror film The Silence of the Lambs (1991) with special guest Rachel Shatto from Zombie Grrls.We break down what makes The Silence of the Lambs one of the most important films in horror history, from Anthony Hopkins' chilling, Oscar-winning performance as Hannibal Lecter to Jodie Foster's iconic turn as Clarice Starling. The conversation explores how the film blurred the line between horror, thriller, and prestige cinema — and why it remains the only horror film to ever win Best Picture.The Dads and Rachel also dive into the ongoing controversy surrounding the film, discussing its cultural impact, gender dynamics, representation debates, and how audiences interpret it differently today than they did in 1991. We talk influence, legacy, and whether The Silence of the Lambs still holds up more than 30 years later.Follow Dads From the Crypt!

"One thing that's really interesting to me...is that one of our great cultural critics is Stephen King... the basically the first big review of Red Dragon in the I think it was in the Washington Post in 1981, and it is not only a rave, but it is completely 100 spot on. Red Dragon is like stepping into a limousine where everything works... perfectly."In this very special bonus episode of MINHUNTER, I speak to the extremely talented journalist, author and podcaster Brian Raftery about his great new novel, HANNIBAL LECTER - A LIFE. Synopsis: Drawing from exclusive interviews and previously unseen archival materials, this one-of-its-kind biography of Hannibal Lecter documents the cannibal's journey from terrifying villain to unexpectedly adored antihero.This unique biography traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann's Manhunter and Jonathan Demme's Academy Award–winning The Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV series Hannibal. It also dives into the untold life and career of Harris, the secretive bestselling author whose passion for reporting, eye for grisly detail, and connections to the FBI helped birth not only Lecter, but also the modern true-crime genre. Along the way, Hannibal Lecter: A Life documents the many ways Lecter's rise reflected America's ever-growing obsession with real-life serial killers.Featuring all-new interviews with crucial figures from Lecter's past—including actor Brian Cox, director Mann, and former FBI special agent John Douglas—Hannibal Lecter: A Life is a deeply reported, wildly entertaining look at the making of one of the most beloved bad guys of all time.About Brian Raftery Brian Raftery's work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Wired, GQ, and The Ringer.

‘So-called turmoil or shortcomings in my life? I turn them into power or energy'Best known for playing the serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 thriller ‘The Silence of the Lambs', Sir Anthony's journey to Hollywood stardom started with humble beginnings.Born into a working class family in the Welsh steel town of Port Talbot in 1937, his parents first ran a bakery, and then later a pub. Their strong work ethic was imparted on their son, who, despite struggling socially and educationally in his early years, was determined to make a success of himself. Throwing himself into reading and creative pastimes like music and art, Sir Anthony studied at both the Welsh Royal College of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy for Dramatic Art.His early career saw him working alongside greats including Katharine Hepburn, Lawrence Olivier, Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole across both stage and screen, with his international breakout coming in the 1980 film ‘The Elephant Man', which received multiple Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.It would be another decade before he truly cemented his place as a Hollywood A-lister: playing the infamous serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter, regarded by many critics as one of the greatest film villains of all-time. The role won him the first of his two Oscars, with the second coming for his performance in the 2020 film ‘The Father'.But the 87-year-old's long journey to the very top was not only a professional struggle, but at times a personal struggle too, having also battled alcoholism early on in his career - which he says made him a difficult person to work with.Thank you to the Culture team for their help in making this programme.
