Welcome back to Daddy Deep Dive: a spoiler-filled unpacking of the most special films. This time, Kylie and Elliott are joined by their long-time friend–the very cool, very smart, very thoughtful–Devin Smith to dive into Jonathan Demme's 1991 The Silence of the Lambs. In this conversation, they explore the complexity of media that contains violence against women and harmful depictions of queer and trans folks, nipple jumpscares, and how everything comes back to Dad.
