This is another great one. And now it’s my turn to put on my pedantic hat: I could be wrong, but I think Hannibal Lecter just ate his victims. I think you’re confusing him with his copycat protégé who he’s supposed to help find in the film silence of the lambs. And that character’s name is Buffalo Bill. But this is going from memory.

I did a search before posting, and it was both.

"In The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter temporarily places a dead guard's face over his own to escape captivity in the Memphis courthouse."

But yes, Buffalo Bill (Jame Gumb) goes much much further. Lecter needed to do something for the copycat to copy.....

I do wonder why Trump doesn't talk about the "Late, Great, Jame Gumb".... The name is just not as well known these days, so isn't the name that came up in the podcast.

Love the hat -- 🎩
