The Popcornhead Podcast

Welcome Kernels and Cornheads to The Popcornhead Podcast!

Each week we will be analysing a different film, past or present, the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. We’ll talk pre-production, filming, our own thoughts, any historical context, and the occasional wormhole, things can get a little weird around here.

So if you enjoy film analysis from an often comical perspective, this is definitely for you!

In this episode, we explore director Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster.

We also uncover the three terrifying real-life figures who inspired Ted Levine's infamous composite killer, Buffalo Bill.

And we discuss the really important issues like can you take psychotherapeutic advice from someone who's criminally insane? What would Sean Connery pair a census taker's liver with? And does wearing a human suit really make you more sexually attractive?
