In this episode: -Michael Mann, style over substance? Hell no. -Sure Hannibal gets all the press but lets talk about William Peterson and Jodie Foster as Will Graham and Clarice Starling -Silence Of The Lambs, surprisingly socially sensitive for a big budget 90s serial killer flick -a dream woman -Dennis Farina -Mindhunter -party guests, ranked -and we figure out the perfect first date W
