Hello, welcome to Hollywood crime scene. This is Rachel Fisher. Hello, this is Desi Jadikin. I'm excited.

Well, Desi, we have an exciting couple of episodes coming up to close out our annual Halloween month.

In 1999, Thomas Harris's book, Hannibal was published. Now, Hannibal, of course, is the sequel to his massively popular 1988 novel, Silence of the Lambs. Both books were turned into movies. Silence of the Lambs was released in 1991 and Hannibal in 2001. Did you see Hannibal? Yes. Did you like it? Um, yeah, I liked it. Well, I'm not saying it's a great movie, but I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was really scary. I know it was critically. I like all of the Hannibal Lecter movies. Me too. So I'm just a fan. I'm a fan of all of them from... And I've read all the books, too. Oh. Yeah. I've only read Silence of the Lambs. Yeah, I like the books. They're really easy reads. I mean, outside of the horrific content. They're fast reads. They're fast reads. And yeah, I've seen all the movies more than once. I really enjoy this series. I love this universe. Me too. I love the movie Manhunter.

A great movie. Which was the first Hannibal Lecter movie.

I like the one with Ray Fines.

Red Dragon.

Yeah, Red Dragon.

Yeah, Red Dragon was the remake of Manhunter.

Yeah, I love that movie.

I mean, I even like when Ray Leota, they're eating his brains.

I just like, I like these movies.

I do remember when Hannibal came out, it was trashed.

People were mad as, well, first people were mad because Jody Foster wasn't playing Clarice

anymore.

Right, it was Julianne Moore, which is like, how can you complain about that?

Yeah, we love Julianne more. We're not

going to do the movie just because Jody won't come back. We got to. Sorry. I mean, I'm glad

they made it. I thought Gary Oldman's character was terrifying. I mean, the thing I like about this

series of films is I'm into all of the villains. The actors playing the villains are always incredible. Yeah. And they're just going to make me like the movie. Like Gary Oldman, Reef finds Anthony Hopkins, obviously, and then Brian Cox. Right. I mean, it's just like, of course it's going to be amazing. Yeah, it's just an interesting world. I agree. I love it. I totally love it. I loved going to Florence too in Hannibal. Oh, I know. I love seeing it. I know. I thought, because the city, not to sound like an asshole, but the city definitely, like, played a character.

It was a character in the film.

Yeah, it changed things up.

We hadn't been really outside of America in the series at that point.
