Due to FB's robots supressing certain book-related posts, just to let you know in a somewhat coded manner that the below volume is now a thing and you can find it via the usual places such as one with the same name as a Brazilian rainforest (links in comments section).

The first of several volumes on the way and covering each of the respective decades of the show . . .

"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!

Available from the link below and all the rest.

"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!

Available from the link below and all the rest.

"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!

Ahead of the Innsmouth Literary Festival next month in Bedford, the guys at the Innsmouth Book Club recently interviewed me where we discussed Lovecraft, martial arts and more, while I also dipped my hand into Dagon's Sack -- ooohhhh, matron! ;-)

Thanks for having me, guys!

"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!
