Jonathan Demme's 1991 'Silence Of The Lambs' is one of only three films to ever win "The Big Five" Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was an unconventional film in so many interesting and unique ways: female protagonist navigating two violently dangerous serial killers but also the male-populated world that looks down on and is dismissive of her even as it dangles her as bait. Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter is iconic, maybe the most beloved film villain of all time. Ted Levin's performance as Buffalo Bill was criminally overlooked for a Best Supporting Actor nod in one of the most egregious snubs in Oscar history. On the pod this week, we're joined by Friend Of The Pod Amanda Charlton, who was present for the filming of some of the jail scenes between Hopkins and Jodi Foster and tells us some fascinating anecdotes about the vibe on the set and some unexpected realities of filming movies that the average person might not know.
