Description

Well hello SICKOS (and goodbye horses) we're back talking about best pictures of the 90s, and here we have one of the most controversial of them all, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)!! this great big fat movie was protested when it came out 30 years ago, and it's still the topic of endless discussion and critique now, so we brought along our faithful pals Anna & Amy K to help us chop it up properly! Would you listen to this episode? I'd listen to this episode. I'd listen hard!
