This is our NEW RELEASE review podcast, ONE HOT TAKE. Safdie’s great gift is complication. The pleasure is watching the bill come due—again and again—without the film ever losing velocity. Safdie and co-writer Bronstein’s structure is ruthless; setups bloom into havoc, payoffs land with cruel timing. Synopsis: Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. Isaac Feldberg Isaac Feldberg is an entertainment journalist currently based in Chicago, who’s been writing professionally for nine years and hopes to stay at it for a few more. On a typical evening, he sits down to surf the Criterion Channel and ends up, inevitably, on Shudder. You can find him on Twitter at @isaacfeldberg.

MINHUNTER: HANNIBAL LECTER - A LIFE w/ author Brian Raftery
05/2/2026 | 1h 2min
"One thing that's really interesting to me...is that one of our great cultural critics is Stephen King... the basically the first big review of Red Dragon in the I think it was in the Washington Post in 1981, and it is not only a rave, but it is completely 100 spot on. Red Dragon is like stepping into a limousine where everything works... perfectly." In this very special bonus episode of MINHUNTER, I speak to the extremely talented journalist, author and podcaster Brian Raftery about his great new novel, HANNIBAL LECTER - A LIFE. Synopsis: Drawing from exclusive interviews and previously unseen archival materials, this one-of-its-kind biography of Hannibal Lecter documents the cannibal’s journey from terrifying villain to unexpectedly adored antihero. This unique biography traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris’s 1981 novel Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann’s Manhunter and Jonathan Demme’s Academy Award–winning The Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV series Hannibal. It also dives into the untold life and career of Harris, the secretive bestselling author whose passion for reporting, eye for grisly detail, and connections to the FBI helped birth not only Lecter, but also the modern true-crime genre. Along the way, Hannibal Lecter: A Life documents the many ways Lecter’s rise reflected America’s ever-growing obsession with real-life serial killers. Featuring all-new interviews with crucial figures from Lecter’s past—including actor Brian Cox, director Mann, and former FBI special agent John Douglas—Hannibal Lecter: A Life is a deeply reported, wildly entertaining look at the making of one of the most beloved bad guys of all time. About Brian Raftery Brian Raftery’s work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Wired, GQ, and The Ringer. He’s the author of Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen, and the host of multiple podcasts for the Ringer, including the acclaimed Gene & Roger.
