Happy new year from the western side of the globe. To help bring in 2018, I once again brought Matthew Goudreau and Michael Guarnieri on to discuss part three of our Hannibal Lecter Retrospective series, the 2001 film Hannibal.

As always, the journey of bringing this story to the screen was quite the long path. After The Silence of the Lambs was released to massive critical and commercial success, artist friendly film studio Orion went bankrupt. Seeing a chance for redemption after originally giving up the rights to Hannibal Lecter following the box office failure of Manhunter, producer Dino De Laurentiis once again grabbed them and was determined to bring this now beloved character back to the screen. But in order to do that, he had to have Thomas Harris write the sequel in novel form.

Long story short, it would take ten long years to once again see Hannibal killing onscreen. And the world was ready. But despite being a huge box office success, 2001's Hannibal is not looked back on fondly. Will we agree?

Download below to find out, and be sure to check back next week when we return with Brett Ratner's Red Dragon.

0:12:30 - AROUND THE LEAGUE:  Who you got for the Superbowl?  Call in and give us your predictions for the NFL Playoffs?  Once again, we're left wondering WHAT THE HELL IS A CATCH?  Do the Patriots actually get calls shifted their way?  After the controversies, the guys discuss the playoff scenarios and who's actually got a shot.

0:54:45 - THE PICKS:  PJ is officially going to lose money (if he bet, that is).  TM and the Guests can still end up above .500 with the right picks this week!

1:08:12 - FANTASY:  Your Champ has been crowned!  On the back of Todd Gurley (and CJ Anderson), Emo Kev (aka The Poon Slayers) has taken home the trophy, the money, and the bragging rights for the 2017 BMFFL!  Congrats Eric, you deserve it.... Thank to everyone that participated, we'll be back again next year!

After Manhunter was a flop in theaters, producer Dino De Laurentiis sold the rights to the Hannibal Lecter character for cheap. At the same time, Jodie Foster, fresh off her Oscar winning performance in The Accused, read the book Silence of the Lambs and decided she wanted to produce a version of it. After some of Hollywood's biggest names passed on the film due to its subject matter, Foster and director Jonathan Demme assembled a team of bit players who eventually made one of the most frightening and beloved (horror?) films of all time.

Join me, Matthew, and newcomer to the series Michael, as we eat some liver and fava beans, and take in 1991's multi Oscar winner The Silence of the Lambs for dessert. How do we feel about it all these years later, and how does Michael feel about being put in this world for the very first time? Only one way to find out. We'll help you listen, Clarice, by clicking the button at the bottom of this article.

Chad C saw a bunch of shit, some of it you will be glad he did so you don't have to.  And one specific film that will make you run out to the theater immediately.  Also, if you've ever needed a reason (or another reason) to hate KC Chad, you'll find out said reason during his review of The Shape of Water.  Why do old dudes turn into old chicks when they're old?  So old.

0:00:00 - What's happening...

0:08:30 - BSV: Right off the hop! The guys check in on the BS Voicemail.  New callers, random topics and who the fuck is JV!

0:37:30 - AROUND THE LEAGUE: NOPE!  Fantasy Football is discussed....well, TM bitches about it.  Then we discuss this weeks Championship between Emo Kev & Chad C!

0:48:52 - AROUND THE LEAGUE - AGAIN: Does anyone know what a catch is anymore?  I would think almost everyone in the world thought Jesse James caught the ball... except the NFL.  What rules do we hate... what rules are stupid... and what rules can be determined by pieces of paper.

1:29:05 - THE PICKS:  TM extends his lead... PJ sucks and the guest try to hold their own.  We get another call in from our guest picker this week!
