This week for Thanksgiving, the gang pays a visit to cinema’s favorite culinary villain in RED DRAGON, the third film in the Hannibal Lecter series. We’ll discuss the film’s efficacy as a procedural thriller, the 90s/2000s wave of forensic investigation dramas, and how this movie relates to The Silence of the Lambs. We’ll also touch on the myriad other interpretations of the sordid tale of Francis Dolarhyde: the man who turned a cleft lip and an abusive grandmother into a successful career of home-invading, film-developing, wheelchair-burning, and painting-eating.
