On the Lithuanian-Soviet border towards the end of the Second World War, Rhys Ifans and his band of scavenger Nazi collaborators are feeling a little peckish, and a young Hannibal Lecter and his sister Mischa are on the menu, setting in motion a terrible chain of events that will result in the making of a monster. 

But before enacting his brutal revenge plan, the now teenaged Hannibal must first pop over to France to fall in love with his aunt and then become Doctor Ninja-man/Steven Seagal before he became a waddling dickhead!

Join us on CITIZEN FRAME as we wrap up our "Lecter Library" with the preposterous nonsense that is HANNIBAL RISING (2007)!

Enjoy!

"Remarkale boy. I admire your courage. I think I'll eat your heart."

The "Tooth Fairy" is back -- and so are Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter after, for some strange reason, someone in Hollywood thought it would be a good idea to remake MANHUNTER.

Yep, it's RED DRAGON (2002) up next on CITIZEN FRAME's "Lecter Library", featuring Anthony Hopkins going full-on pantomime villain, Ralph Fiennes wetting the bed and talking in a funny voice, Edward Norton looking like he hasn't slept in a week, and Mr. Wolf and Brett from PULP FICTION also popping up!

Enjoy!

"Bowels in or bowels out?"

CITIZEN FRAME's "Lecter Library" continues with a trip to picturesque Florence, Italy to catch up with the good Dr. Lecter at the opera, while Agent Starling, the greed-consumed Inspector Pazzi and the depraved Mason Verger and his herd of flesh-devouring Sardinian swine are in hot pursuit! Heck, there may even be time to munch on some human brain during a snazzy dinner party! 

That's right, it's HANNIBAL (2001) up next, so eat the rude!

Enjoy!

"It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again . . ."

On the latest edition of CITIZEN FRAME, we're off to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane with "Multiple" Miggs, Roger Corman and Precious the dog to check in on Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter as he assists the FBI in their pursuit of "Buffalo Bill", a charming gent who just happens to be making himself a lovely skin dress while performing a sexy dance to Q Lazzarus! 

It's "Goodbye Horses" all round as our "Lecter Library" continues with the multi-Oscar-winning THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991), starring Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins!

Enjoy!

"If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is."

"Hannibal Lecter Season" begins on CITIZEN FRAME, and before Anthony Hopkins arrived on the scene with his fava beans and Chianti, it was Michael Mann who first adapted Thomas Harris's work with 1986's MANHUNTER -- a dark, tense and stylish thriller concerning a cat and mouse chase between two deeply disturbed and haunted men, while a certain serial killer plays them both . . .

Don't miss it!

Enjoy!

"I'm the bad guy? How'd that happen?"

We may not be "economically viable" on CITIZEN FRAME, but tune into the latest episode anyway as we delve into FALLING DOWN (1993), directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall, a movie concerning the choices we are left to make after becoming exposed to the big lie that is modern life, more relevant today than ever before. 

Bleak, violent and at times darkly humorous -- but enough about the hosts!

Also, somewhat ironically for a podcast on a movie about a man having a complete breakdown, Ciaran and Trevor have their own "Falling Down" moment on the episode during a major bust-up over "subtext" -- don't miss it!

Enjoy !

"Where do I stand for a corner kick?"

We're celebrating the recent World Cup on the latest edition of CITIZEN FRAME with a trip to Nazi-occupied France for a look at ESCAPE TO VICTORY (1981), directed by John Huston and starring Sly Stallone, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow, Pelė, Bobby Moore and a load of other former footballers as the Allies take on the Germans in a match that also doubles as a bid for freedom!

There'll be lots of goals, overhead kicks, a nail-biting last minute penalty, and Michael Caine saying "bloody" a lot -- don't miss it!

Enjoy!

"Dead by dawn . . . dead by dawn . . . dead by dawn . . ."

Grab your chainsaws, boomsticks and Kandarian daggers as we're covering the newly released EVIL DEAD BURN on the latest edition of CITIZEN FRAME! 

A franchise created by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell that is considered by many to be the most consistent of them all, but is this new entry groovy or just some sort of exercise in French extremist torture porn?

We'll swallow your souls if you disagree with us!

Enjoy!

Be careful what you wish for! 

Bear likes Freaky Nikki but she just sees them as good friends, so he then breaks a "One Wish Willow" to win her over, and that's when things quickly take a sinister turn as Nikki turns truly freaky with violence and gore soon following. 

OBSESSION is the runaway hit horror movie of 2026, but is it all it's cracked up to be, or just an old story rehashed for the twenty-first century?

Listen in to the latest episode of CITIZEN FRAME to find out!

Enjoy!

It's DISCLOSURE DAY on CITIZEN FRAME!

On this emergency, bonus episode, podcaster turned celebrity chef Ciaran waxes lyrical about his exquisite new recipe for chicken noodle soup, while Trevor goes deep and heavy on the joys of the humble Pot Noodle and Bono's heartwarming charity work.

Incidentally, there's also a review of Steven Spielberg's latest movie, but the other stuff is so much more interesting than that -- and it's a load of absolute shite, too!

Enjoy!!
