140. The Silence of the Lambs, Thelma & The Killing of a Sacred Deer

THIS week we pour ourselves a nice glass of Chianti and cook some fava beans to enjoy as we give a reappraisal of The Silence of the Lambs. It's generally considered to be a masterpiece but does that FilmChat hivemind agree? THEN, Danny casts a critical eye over the supernatural coming of age film Thelma by Joaquim Trier. Was he bewitched by the film or did he think it should be drowned in a well? FYI the film is about witchcraft so that the last sentence was a brilliant joke.AND we give a scorching hot take on Yorgos Lanthimos latest slice of cultural satire/bleak tragicomedy in the form of The Killing of A Sacred Deer. Is Colin Farrell's performance in it better than his iconic turn as Bullseye in Dare Devil? I mean obviously of course not but it's still pretty good.PLUS we detail Disney's strongarming of cinemas in the build-up to the new Star Wars release, chat about the latest heads to roll in the ever-unfolding sexual harassment scandal and debate whether Antony's Hopkins performance as Odin in the Thor films is the one he'll be most remembered for.
