464. Buzzkill (2026)

The Nickelback of thriller movies. The Film Strip crew review Hannibal (2001). Hannibal Lecter is back! Unfortunately, so is a sequel that seems determined to forget everything that made The Silence of the Lambs great. We dig into Ridley Scott's Hannibal (2001), from wasted characters and questionable creative decisions to brain cuisine, face removal, and one of the most bewildering romantic gestures in movie history. Was this a worthy follow-up or did Thomas Harris and Hollywood lose the plot? We're hungry for answers. Just not Krendler's brains.Links: https://linktr.ee/FilmStripPodcast Apple: http://tinyurl.com/FilmStripApple Spotify: http://tinyurl.com/FilmStripSpotify YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/FilmStripPodYouTubeCheck out Ron's work in Memento Mori Ink: Issue #5
