Author Elaine Feeney joins Alan and Sarah to talk about Jonathan Demme’s 1991 Oscar-sweeping, pop cultural juggernaut, The Silence Of The Lambs. We talk about the complicated and controversial legacy of Buffalo Bill, looking Clarice in the eyes, our favourite shots, the magic of Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins, and Elaine tells us about showing scary films to her kids. It’s a good one.

Elaine is @ElaineFeeney16. Her latest novel How To Build A Boat is out now.

Alan is ⁠@alan_maguire⁠. He does a bit of standup but Juvenalia is his main thing right now.

Sarah is ⁠@griffski⁠. Her books are in all good bookshops. Her newsletter is at ⁠griffnotes.ghost.io⁠
