Transcript
Marie Vigouroux:

I'm Marie Vigouroux.

Jeremy Greer:

I'm Jeremy Greer.

Marie Vigouroux:

And this is Rude Eats, a delicious podcast

Marie Vigouroux:

where we sink our teeth into every episode of the show

Marie Vigouroux:

Jake Lionheart (intro music): I want Will Graham, I really do

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal.

Marie Vigouroux:

and I think that we could have some fun. Then you can do

Marie Vigouroux:

anything you like. I might even go and help you catch the

Marie Vigouroux:

Shrike. I want Will Graham, I want that man for every meal and

Marie Vigouroux:

on demand. His mind shines and his body's cut. I know that he

Marie Vigouroux:

works for the FBI, but what other man has pure empathy and

Marie Vigouroux:

the ability to see my mind. Jack. What other thing have I

Marie Vigouroux:

ever asked you for besides never looking into my pantry? And I

Marie Vigouroux:

won't get that. Damn. I want Will Graham. I want him so and

Marie Vigouroux:

he really doesn't need to know what's in my meals or on my

Marie Vigouroux:

mind. I just want Will Graham to be mine. I want him, and I want

Marie Vigouroux:

him now. I said before, I don't care how. I'll give him tests.

Marie Vigouroux:

He'll draw a clock, and then his dark desires I will unlock.

Marie Vigouroux:

We'll be together, Willll and me. We'll throw some brand in

Marie Vigouroux:

the parties. We'll cut the flesh. We'll cook the meat.

Marie Vigouroux:

He'll eat the food just like me. Give me goddamn Will Graham.

Jeremy Greer:

Hi, Mary.

Marie Vigouroux:

Hi Jeremy.

Jeremy Greer:

The episode goes crazy this week.

Marie Vigouroux:

I am just so excited to talk about this with

Marie Vigouroux:

you. Like, I have been like, foaming at the mouth to not talk

Marie Vigouroux:

about it too much in DMS, because I'm just like, I need to

Marie Vigouroux:

talk about this with you.

Jeremy Greer:

Need to have it in person. Don't want to, don't

Jeremy Greer:

want to, don't want to ruin the podcast by having all of our

Jeremy Greer:

conversations in our DMS. Although, if you just send me

Jeremy Greer:

like a bunch of exclamation marks, I know that things are

Jeremy Greer:

happening.

Marie Vigouroux:

I mean, I did. I did send you like a few lines,

Marie Vigouroux:

I think, just like screams,

Jeremy Greer:

you were, you were kind of live blogging the

Jeremy Greer:

episode to me for a while, and it was great. I loved it. I'm

Jeremy Greer:

super excited to talk about this. I think this is one of the

Jeremy Greer:

best episodes of Hannibal. It's probably the best episode so far

Jeremy Greer:

that we've had, and so many so much stuff happens, and it's

Jeremy Greer:

going to be so much fun to dig into before we get into that. I

Jeremy Greer:

wanted to do a little bit of admin, if you don't mind

Marie Vigouroux:

of course, please.

Jeremy Greer:

So back on August 20, and this is probably coming

Jeremy Greer:

out in like 2026, or something. I'm not going to do the math,

Jeremy Greer:

but back in August 20, our friend Nell on the monster of

Jeremy Greer:

the week discord and the carrying wayward discord, a

Jeremy Greer:

listener to all of our podcasts, thank you, Nell, mentioned that

Jeremy Greer:

she had something to say about them, referring to will as high

Jeremy Greer:

functioning. And I'm just going to read this verbatim. So this

Jeremy Greer:

is, this is from Nell. "So many thoughts on the term high

Jeremy Greer:

functioning. The community increasing and increasingly,

Jeremy Greer:

people who do this research tend to use the term support needs

Jeremy Greer:

instead, so as to put the quote, unquote problem on society and

Jeremy Greer:

not on the individual. So if you're feeling uncomfortable

Jeremy Greer:

with the term high functioning when it comes to will the term

Jeremy Greer:

low support needs might feel more appropriate." And that

Jeremy Greer:

generated a whole conversation in the MOTW discord from people

Jeremy Greer:

who are on the spectrum and who there's like, there was just a

Jeremy Greer:

big conversation about it, which was super cool to read through

Jeremy Greer:

as a person who hasn't been super educated on that stuff, it

Jeremy Greer:

was very fascinating to read. So I like the idea of using low

Jeremy Greer:

support needs for will, because I think even the show sometimes

Jeremy Greer:

forget that they mentioned that he was on the spectrum in the

Jeremy Greer:

first episode, right? Like the show was like, Oh no, he's fine

Jeremy Greer:

now, but also he definitely has some support needs.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh yes, for sure, he definitely has some

Marie Vigouroux:

support needs. And I think the reason why Nell mentioned this

Marie Vigouroux:

is because I was like, oh, you know, like, I don't like the

Marie Vigouroux:

term high functioning, but I guess this is like, how the show

Marie Vigouroux:

describes him. And so Nell came in clutch with a better term

Marie Vigouroux:

that feels a lot more that does feel a lot more appropriate. So

Marie Vigouroux:

thank you so much Nell for for letting us know about that. We

Marie Vigouroux:

appreciate

Jeremy Greer:

We appreciate it.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, definitely

Jeremy Greer:

I don't remember which one of us reads the

Jeremy Greer:

episode description. Is that, you or me? I forget how this is.

Jeremy Greer:

I'm doing an eight podcast right now. So all of all of my admin

Jeremy Greer:

is so confused. What do we do?

Marie Vigouroux:

I feel like we have because I did it at one

Marie Vigouroux:

point, and then you started doing it, and then I did it

Marie Vigouroux:

again. So I can take it today. That's fine. So today we are

Marie Vigouroux:

covering Hannibal, season one, episode seven, sorbet. The BAU

Marie Vigouroux:

is called when a man is found in a hotel bathtub with his kidney

Marie Vigouroux:

removed, and Graham must determine whether this is the

Marie Vigouroux:

act of an organ harvester or if the Chesapeake Ripper has

Marie Vigouroux:

claimed his first victim in two years. Meanwhile, Crawford

Marie Vigouroux:

continues to be haunted by the discovery of Miriam Lass' arm.

Marie Vigouroux:

Dr. Bloom suspects that Crawford has become obsessed with

Marie Vigouroux:

catching the Ripper and is putting Graham in danger by

Marie Vigouroux:

making him chase the Ripper. This episode was directed by

Marie Vigouroux:

James folly sorry, written by Brian Fuller and Jesse

Marie Vigouroux:

Alexander, and it originally aired on May 9, 2013

Jeremy Greer:

Yes, so excited to talk about this one. I the

Jeremy Greer:

description does a lot here. Using the word haunted for Jack

Jeremy Greer:

Crawford is especially fun. We're gonna have a lot of fun

Jeremy Greer:

talking about that. And so, as we do on every episode the

Jeremy Greer:

podcast, we talk about the episode title, and we kind of

Jeremy Greer:

relate that to a theme. Tell me what a sorbet is Mary.

Marie Vigouroux:

So I had to do a little bit of googling about

Marie Vigouroux:

that, because I know that sorbet, ice cream and gelato,

Marie Vigouroux:

are all like separate things, right? So a sorbet is actually a

Marie Vigouroux:

frozen dessert like ice cream and gelato, but it's typically

Marie Vigouroux:

made of fruit juice or fruit puree mixed with water and

Marie Vigouroux:

sugar. And it's different from ice cream, because ice cream is

Marie Vigouroux:

typically made with like a custard base, so that's like

Marie Vigouroux:

cooked eggs with milk, and then we add cream and sugar to it. So

Marie Vigouroux:

sorbet is fruity, which I think is pretty apt for this episode

Jeremy Greer:

when we literally see Hannibal pining over will as

Jeremy Greer:

Chopin's D minor plays, Chopin's D minor plays, like Jesus

Jeremy Greer:

Christ.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh yeah. I mean, I this was so gay in the

Marie Vigouroux:

best way, like this was so fruity. I love these gay

Marie Vigouroux:

bitches. I love them so much anyway. So I still, I didn't

Marie Vigouroux:

really want fruity to be the theme of the episode, even

Marie Vigouroux:

though it really felt right. So I thought about it for a while.

Marie Vigouroux:

And then, like, when you think of sorbet, you think of like

Marie Vigouroux:

frozen, cold ice, you know, like, and since the episode also

Marie Vigouroux:

revolves around Hannibal, I assume that, like Brian fuller

Marie Vigouroux:

wanted us to make an inference there, right? So I thought about

Marie Vigouroux:

like the distance, particularly like the emotional distance that

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal creates around him, and he does that through his

Marie Vigouroux:

performance of a normal human being, which we know he is not

Marie Vigouroux:

right. And I think that given the rest of the episode, I would

Marie Vigouroux:

really like to focus on the theme of performance today.

Jeremy Greer:

What a great connection that you made

Jeremy Greer:

throughout that going from a frozen dessert to the theme of

Jeremy Greer:

performance is really, really great. Love, love those, those

Jeremy Greer:

connections Absolutely and it fits like, even in the episode,

Jeremy Greer:

like we're going to find out that Bedelia, Hannibal's own

Jeremy Greer:

psychiatrist, points out like he's wearing a person suit. He's

Jeremy Greer:

literally dressing up and putting on a performance as a as

Jeremy Greer:

a human being. And, you know, that's not the only performance

Jeremy Greer:

being happening, being made through here. So we're gonna,

Jeremy Greer:

we're gonna be able to connect this to a lot of the different

Jeremy Greer:

things that happen. And I'm, yeah, like, it's, it is a very

Jeremy Greer:

fruity episode. It's, I still find it fascinating that,

Jeremy Greer:

because, again, based on none of this relationship exists in the

Jeremy Greer:

books are in the original material, right? Like, there's

Jeremy Greer:

been there was never, to my knowledge, maybe people were

Jeremy Greer:

shipping it. And, like, there's an AO3 thing that goes back to

Jeremy Greer:

the when the books were released, I don't know. But to

Jeremy Greer:

my knowledge, there was never really any Hannibal and will,

Jeremy Greer:

like, romantically involved kind of thing at all. And so Brian

Jeremy Greer:

Fuller, to have made this decision at the outset, and then

Jeremy Greer:

to slowly build into this is just so interesting to me. And

Jeremy Greer:

then, yeah, it's just, it is a little fruity this episode,

Jeremy Greer:

sometimes literally,

Marie Vigouroux:

oh yes, exactly. And there's also the

Marie Vigouroux:

fact that, like, let's be honest, if somebody, if I was,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, at dinner and they served like, a sorbet, I would be like,

Marie Vigouroux:

This is really extra. And I feel like there's so much about this

Marie Vigouroux:

episode that's very extra. So anyway, like, I just thought

Marie Vigouroux:

that this is, I don't know I love the way they're naming

Marie Vigouroux:

their episodes, and the way that, like they're digging into

Marie Vigouroux:

themes and all that. I just, I think this is my favorite

Marie Vigouroux:

episode so far.

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, it's really good. It's super, super good. We

Jeremy Greer:

had a suggestion from our listeners. I don't actually know

Jeremy Greer:

who runs the account, no context monster of the week. I don't

Jeremy Greer:

know who that person is. I think I know, but I don't. I don't

Jeremy Greer:

want to dox them if they're not putting that out there. But the

Jeremy Greer:

Twitter account, no context Monster of the Week suggested

Jeremy Greer:

that we name, rename or one of our sections beat by eat instead

Jeremy Greer:

of beat by beat. So are you ready to go to our beat by

Jeremy Greer:

eatSection?

Marie Vigouroux:

I am very ready to go to our beat by eat section

Jeremy Greer:

I like how we're very both very carefully

Jeremy Greer:

enunciating that that's very fun

Marie Vigouroux:

beat by eat. It's especially hard for me

Marie Vigouroux:

because it's not my mother tongue. It's like beat by eat,

Marie Vigouroux:

you

Jeremy Greer:

you speak English better than I do. So if you've

Jeremy Greer:

ever been like, sensitive about your your ability to speak

Jeremy Greer:

English, please do not speak because you speak English way

Marie Vigouroux:

Well. Thank you. I'm technically bilingual,

Marie Vigouroux:

better than I do.

Marie Vigouroux:

but, like, it's sometimes, it's it, it's still hard, and I still

Marie Vigouroux:

hear my like, little, like tiny bit of French accent in there,

Marie Vigouroux:

and I'm like, Ah,

Jeremy Greer:

people LOVE IT people, people. Love people with

Jeremy Greer:

accents in general. I think so. I mean, look at Lana Del Rey.

Jeremy Greer:

She's taking a she's dating Cajun dude right now.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah! named Jeremy, apparently, yes

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, Jeremy Dufresne, which is the most

Jeremy Greer:

Cajun name you could possibly have. I love

Jeremy Greer:

I love that. Oh, my God,

Marie Vigouroux:

Or québécois, frankly, because I'm like that,

Marie Vigouroux:

that could be somebody from Quebec.

Jeremy Greer:

So we're going to start out at the FBI Academy

Jeremy Greer:

where Will is doing what he normally does is teaching his

Jeremy Greer:

class about the serial killer the Chesapeake River. He

Jeremy Greer:

explains that the Ripper is killing in sounders of three, so

Jeremy Greer:

three kills in the space of nine days. And he explains that a

Jeremy Greer:

sounder is a small group of pigs, which, of course, is the

Jeremy Greer:

way that will believes the Ripper sees his victims. We go

Jeremy Greer:

through I like this that they do this like they put these

Jeremy Greer:

pictures in the background. They don't focus on them too much.

Jeremy Greer:

You just see it kind of behind will. But we see pictures of the

Jeremy Greer:

rippers kills, which we actually had not seen, we haven't

Jeremy Greer:

experienced, except for the wound man kill, which is the one

Jeremy Greer:

that we saw in the previous episode, and he's going through

Jeremy Greer:

all of these. And it's just interesting to see, like,

Jeremy Greer:

they've been collecting this information for a long time, and

Jeremy Greer:

like, just how, how long Hannibal has been able to do

Jeremy Greer:

this right? And Jack walks in the room right as he's beginning

Jeremy Greer:

to explain about the Chesapeake Victor's Chesapeake Ripper's

Jeremy Greer:

last victim, which was Miriam lass, and the arm that was found

Jeremy Greer:

to two years later, after she disappeared, and he describes

Jeremy Greer:

the Ripper as consistently theatrical, which is just so

Jeremy Greer:

good.

Marie Vigouroux:

I love it so extra again, like the

Marie Vigouroux:

performance just in the word theatrical, which I love. And so

Marie Vigouroux:

already with this, like 20 second intro, I knew that this

Marie Vigouroux:

episode was going to be really good, like, there's just so much

Marie Vigouroux:

to unpack in just those few sentences. So first off, the

Marie Vigouroux:

Sounders, like, I guess it makes sense that Hannibal would or

Marie Vigouroux:

like that the Ripper would see his victims as pigs if he eats

Marie Vigouroux:

them, right? Like they're livestock to him, and I quote,

Marie Vigouroux:

not prey. And then the consistently theatrical part.

Marie Vigouroux:

Like, listen, Queen Hannibal Lecter doesn't dress the way

Marie Vigouroux:

that he does. To be called anything less than consistently

Marie Vigouroux:

theatrical. And like I said earlier, like this idea of like

Marie Vigouroux:

being theatrical also hints at the idea that there's a

Marie Vigouroux:

performance going on there, right? And in the case of

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal, like, we're going to see him performing so many

Marie Vigouroux:

different things for different people throughout this episode,

Marie Vigouroux:

and we're going to see how much of a toll that takes on him,

Marie Vigouroux:

too.

Jeremy Greer:

And we're going to our theme is underlined

Jeremy Greer:

immediately in the next scene where we have this incredible

Jeremy Greer:

shot of the inside of an opera singer's throat as the camera

Jeremy Greer:

pulls out and we see basically her esophagus, her throat, her

Jeremy Greer:

tonsils, her mouth, everything. It's a really like, intense,

Jeremy Greer:

meaty shot. And as it pulls out, we see this incredibly beautiful

Jeremy Greer:

woman singing an opera song. And I'm gonna make some notes as we

Jeremy Greer:

get to certain parts. So like, this is, I don't know how to

Jeremy Greer:

pronounce any of this stuff. You might have to help me out here.

Jeremy Greer:

It's below the review section in our notes.

Marie Vigouroux:

Okay, hold on. Let me scroll down. Like, oh my

Marie Vigouroux:

god.

Jeremy Greer:

It's performed by Emily Clausen. I know how to

Jeremy Greer:

pronounce that. That's okay.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh yeah. Oh yes. So the piangero la sorte,

Jeremy Greer:

I'm so glad you did that an not me. I just, I

Jeremy Greer:

Mia,

Jeremy Greer:

just wanted to mention this. I think it's, I don't know that it

Jeremy Greer:

provides a lot of insight, but I've really enjoyed spending

Jeremy Greer:

time this morning, like going to figuring out, like, what these

Jeremy Greer:

songs were, and trying to figure out if there could be any

Jeremy Greer:

connection. And this is song. This is sung from the

Jeremy Greer:

perspective of Cleopatra, who has thinks that she just lost

Jeremy Greer:

her love Cesare, and she's kind of mourning this at the same

Jeremy Greer:

time, she's losing her battle for Egypt. She partnered with

Jeremy Greer:

the Cesare to be able to capture Egypt, to be able to rule Egypt.

Jeremy Greer:

And her brother Talim, has killed cesares that she thinks,

Jeremy Greer:

and also taken over the city. So this, like, angry outburst that

Jeremy Greer:

she has, and this, the singer is incredible in the actual

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal TV show, she just has this angry look on her face that

Jeremy Greer:

is just incredible. Like, it's just so like, like, it makes you

Jeremy Greer:

want to go watch all opera all the time.

Marie Vigouroux:

I agree. I was like, You know what is, what is

Marie Vigouroux:

this song? I want to know more about it.

Jeremy Greer:

Very, very good. And, of course, this zooms into

Jeremy Greer:

his like, we see Hannibal in the in the crowd. And. Just a nice

Jeremy Greer:

little note here, kind of a connection to the books, that

Jeremy Greer:

he's sitting on an aisle seat. It's noted in the books for some

Jeremy Greer:

reason he always sits on the aisle. Yeah, just, just a nice

Jeremy Greer:

little nod. And we see him with the camera zooms into his ear as

Jeremy Greer:

he's listening to this and as it comes out. And we see his face

Jeremy Greer:

as he's literally tearing up. He's having this emotional

Jeremy Greer:

connection to this, this woman who has lost her love. And

Jeremy Greer:

again, you know, this is obviously a performance, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Because we're seeing an opera singer in this thing. But also,

Jeremy Greer:

like, we talked about it being kind of fruity. So I just wanted

Jeremy Greer:

to mention that, you know, this is somebody who believes he's

Jeremy Greer:

listening to a song from someone who believes that she lost her

Jeremy Greer:

love and her support.

Marie Vigouroux:

And it's also like, you know, yes, it's a

Marie Vigouroux:

performance, but there's, there's, there's this idea of,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, freedom through performance, right? Of when you

Marie Vigouroux:

watch the theater, when you watch movies, you also connect

Marie Vigouroux:

to these characters, you connect to to the performance that

Marie Vigouroux:

you're seeing. And so Hannibal is doing just that, right? Like

Marie Vigouroux:

he has trouble connecting to people when they're being

Marie Vigouroux:

themselves, but all of a sudden, when there's a performance, he's

Marie Vigouroux:

more able to connect. And I'm not too sure what that means for

Marie Vigouroux:

him, but I just thought that that was interesting.

Jeremy Greer:

That's so interesting because that's the

Jeremy Greer:

same way that will is, to a degree, right? He has problems

Jeremy Greer:

connecting directly to people. And maybe that's something that

Jeremy Greer:

will sees in, that Hannibal season will like from the

Jeremy Greer:

beginning, that they both have that problem connecting with

Jeremy Greer:

people one on one, but they can connect to like Will is

Jeremy Greer:

obviously connecting to the performances of all of these

Jeremy Greer:

serial killers. That's That's an incredible insight. Overall, I

Jeremy Greer:

love that. In the crowd, we also see Franklin, who we haven't

Jeremy Greer:

seen for several episodes. This is one of Hannibal's patients.

Jeremy Greer:

Franklin cannot take his eyes off of Hannibal during this

Jeremy Greer:

whole thing. Hannibal, of course, notices this and

Jeremy Greer:

completely just disregards it. And as the singer finishes up

Jeremy Greer:

the ARIA, Hannibal shoots up. He's the first one to stand up

Jeremy Greer:

and applaud, and Franklin mimics him, and we see his companion

Jeremy Greer:

Tobias, kind of look at him like, you nerd. What are you

Jeremy Greer:

doing? You're being so incredibly awkward right now.

Marie Vigouroux:

I just want to highlight before we move on to

Marie Vigouroux:

anything else that like this is a concert for hunger relief. I

Marie Vigouroux:

thought was just so diabolical, like, I loved it. I was like,

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, of course, it's for hunger relief. So that means that

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal is a patron of an organization for hunger relief.

Jeremy Greer:

It's so funny. It's so funny.

Jeremy Greer:

It's

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, my God,

Jeremy Greer:

the irony.

Marie Vigouroux:

Diabolical. Yes!

Jeremy Greer:

outside of one of the attendees knows Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

socially, and she's begging him to host another dinner party.

Jeremy Greer:

Have you seen him cook? It's a whole show, and basically

Jeremy Greer:

demanding that he host another one. There's some lines here I

Jeremy Greer:

didn't write down that I thought were kind of interesting, where

Jeremy Greer:

he talks about, you know, you can't, you can't just make up

Jeremy Greer:

the feast. The feast has to come to you and you the feast is

Jeremy Greer:

something that you eat to live and things like that. I think

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal just likes talking about food at some point. Like,

Jeremy Greer:

like, okay, okay, I get it. Girl, like, we get, we get what

Jeremy Greer:

you're going for

Marie Vigouroux:

And also this, you know, this is my our flag

Marie Vigouroux:

means death, like, brain rot, but like this idea of dinner as

Marie Vigouroux:

pageantry, right? Again, very extra, like, I love him and, and

Marie Vigouroux:

something that I thought was interesting too is like the

Marie Vigouroux:

attendee says that it's been a long time since he he's cooked

Marie Vigouroux:

for her, right? And Hannibal says that he will once

Marie Vigouroux:

inspiration strikes. So we get the feeling that, like, maybe

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal's been bored lately, probably from having to cool

Marie Vigouroux:

down all of his killing activities after killing Miriam

Marie Vigouroux:

Lass two years ago, right? So that's something to keep in

Marie Vigouroux:

mind. And it's also this idea that like inspiration and art.

Marie Vigouroux:

So like he sees his cooking as an art form,

Jeremy Greer:

right, as a creative endeavor, right? Yeah,

Jeremy Greer:

and he'll say later that he, like, transferred his passion

Jeremy Greer:

for anatomy into the culinary arts. Like, this is, this is

Jeremy Greer:

literally a passion for him. And you're right, like, it's

Jeremy Greer:

probably been a while, because it's been two years since they

Jeremy Greer:

found any known victims of the Chesapeake ripper. So it's been

Jeremy Greer:

two years since he's harvested a bunch of meat, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Well, it's also like, it kind of got me

Marie Vigouroux:

wondering, like, has he like, what's been happening in these

Marie Vigouroux:

two years? Like, has he just been cooling off, like, not

Marie Vigouroux:

wanting to draw too much attention, or has he just been

Marie Vigouroux:

like, kind of in a rut? Is is been like, is my question,

Marie Vigouroux:

because then that could imply that, like, meeting will, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

reignited his passion, right, which, you know, yeah, fruity.

Marie Vigouroux:

Love that

Jeremy Greer:

and Tobias arrive. He Franklin, rather rudely

Jeremy Greer:

inserts himself into the conversation to introduce

Jeremy Greer:

Tobias. Hannibal tries to handle this, like, I think, in a very

Jeremy Greer:

kind of, uh. Almost snobbish manner of being like, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

because the lady that he's talking to this demanding the

Jeremy Greer:

dinner party is like, how do you two know each other? And

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal's like, you know, there should be some mystery. And

Jeremy Greer:

Franklin can't just help but blurt out, like, I'm one of his

Jeremy Greer:

patients. And Tobias points out that Franklin was more

Jeremy Greer:

interested in Hannibal than he was interested in the

Jeremy Greer:

performance. And Hannibal is like, that's cool. Good to meet

Jeremy Greer:

you, see you later. Like, just it kind of summarily dismisses

Jeremy Greer:

the two of them in a very polite way.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, that it was so awkward. I loved it. I

Marie Vigouroux:

love how awkward. Like, Oh no, he's and, okay, so there's going

Marie Vigouroux:

to be a conversation later about that. But when I saw this, I

Marie Vigouroux:

figured that Franklin and Tobias were a couple. That was my

Marie Vigouroux:

immediate assumption

Jeremy Greer:

sure.

Marie Vigouroux:

So I'm just gonna say that right. I think

Marie Vigouroux:

that Franklin, you

Jeremy Greer:

would be right in I think, I think anybody

Jeremy Greer:

watching this would assume that

Marie Vigouroux:

right exactly, especially Tobias being, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

more interested in you than in the performance, you know, like

Jeremy Greer:

kinda jealous Exactly.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, that's jealous boyfriend, and I get it,

Marie Vigouroux:

because Franklin was definitely he wasn't acting right, like I

Marie Vigouroux:

wouldn't be happy if I was with him there, you know.

Jeremy Greer:

Well, don't worry, we're gonna learn a lot more

Jeremy Greer:

about Franklin and Tobias relationship, even in the next

Jeremy Greer:

episode, maybe Hannibal ends this by saying, Who's hungry to

Jeremy Greer:

everybody and causing just a bunch of laughter, which is very

Jeremy Greer:

funny. Like, it's a good joke, I guess, like, good job. And he

Jeremy Greer:

just can't help himself, right? Like, that's the, that's the

Jeremy Greer:

thing about this. He just can't help himself from doing this.

Marie Vigouroux:

I feel like Hannibal is kind of like, okay,

Marie Vigouroux:

so in the relationship that we have, like he is the you where,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, you can say things that are like, you can double speak

Marie Vigouroux:

to the listeners

Jeremy Greer:

yes.

Marie Vigouroux:

So like, you can tell me something that is

Marie Vigouroux:

gonna go way over my head, but listeners are gonna be like, I

Marie Vigouroux:

can't believe he just said that, because you know what's going to

Marie Vigouroux:

happen. And it sort of feels like this is what's happening

Marie Vigouroux:

here, where Hannibal is like, who's hungry? So to everybody,

Marie Vigouroux:

it's like, oh, he's hungry because it's a hunger relief

Marie Vigouroux:

thing. Ha, ha, ha, bad joke. But then for us, it's like,

Marie Vigouroux:

chilling, because he's just saw these people, and he's, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

That was rude. Who's hungry, and we know he's a cannibal, so,

Marie Vigouroux:

yeah,

Jeremy Greer:

so he's probably already thinking about eating

Jeremy Greer:

Franklin at some point.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, exactly. And, yeah, exactly, yeah. I

Marie Vigouroux:

just, I just kind of love that. Like, like, you said, he can't

Marie Vigouroux:

help himself, like, so regardless of the performance

Marie Vigouroux:

that he's putting on for others, like, his true nature is always

Marie Vigouroux:

creeping back up.

Jeremy Greer:

He just lives his life like he's on a TV show.

Jeremy Greer:

He's constantly put together, like, doing all these fancy

Jeremy Greer:

things. Like, he's got everything ready to go with no

Jeremy Greer:

preparation. Like, it's like watching Martha Stewart, like,

Jeremy Greer:

cook at dinner, and she's just, like, brings it out of the oven

Jeremy Greer:

in two minutes, right? She's minutes, right? She's like,

Jeremy Greer:

okay, an hour and a half later, the casserole is finished. Or

Jeremy Greer:

like, it's just constant performing. We finally get our

Jeremy Greer:

intro, and then we go over to Jack. As he's entering the

Jeremy Greer:

morgue at the FBI headquarters, he begins to hear a phone ring

Jeremy Greer:

coming from one of the body drawers, and as he opens it, he

Jeremy Greer:

finds Miriam lasses arm holding the phone that is ringing, which

Jeremy Greer:

is disturbing by itself. But of course, the what ends up

Jeremy Greer:

happening is Jack awakes because his actual phone, in real life,

Jeremy Greer:

is beginning to ring. And I think, you know, we talked a lot

Jeremy Greer:

about unraveling last last time, and I think this is just another

Jeremy Greer:

example of that, of just him come becoming a little unraveled

Jeremy Greer:

at the Ripper is poking at him right as Will's about to say,

Marie Vigouroux:

I know like and the fact that he's having

Marie Vigouroux:

nightmares like that, he that the Ripper is getting into his

Marie Vigouroux:

head the same way that he is getting into wills. I mean, it

Marie Vigouroux:

has to be bad news for the FBI. Just that can't be good. I love

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal, but that can't be good. Possibly

Jeremy Greer:

Can't possibly be good

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, no, exactly.

Jeremy Greer:

It's a case. And so will picks, excuse me, Jack

Jeremy Greer:

picks Will up and says, you know that we found this guy. He's got

Jeremy Greer:

his liver pulled out. There's some other damages. We think it

Jeremy Greer:

could be a ripper case, but don't worry, you're gonna get

Jeremy Greer:

the crime scene fresh. And Will says Fresh as a daisy, like he's

Jeremy Greer:

kind of remarking on this term fresh. And they discuss the

Jeremy Greer:

Ripper. And Will says that Jack wants him wrapped around the

Jeremy Greer:

Ripper so much that he won't go back to class, that he will just

Jeremy Greer:

have it'll the the idea of the Ripper will consume him so much

Jeremy Greer:

that he'll have to catch the Ripper before he can go back to

Jeremy Greer:

his normal life. And he warns Jack. And I love, I love the

Jeremy Greer:

delivery on this line where he says, Don't let the Ripper stir

Jeremy Greer:

you up. And he specifically points out, like the reason that

Jeremy Greer:

the Ripper gave you Miriam's arm was for was specifically to poke

Jeremy Greer:

at you, to make you, to trip you up basically.

Marie Vigouroux:

And Jack responds with something that I

Marie Vigouroux:

found to be really heartbreaking, because he goes,

Marie Vigouroux:

Why not the rest of her? Yeah, it's a bummer. And again, like

Marie Vigouroux:

for us, knowing that Hannibal is a cannibal, it's like, Oh, Jack.

Marie Vigouroux:

Jack, oh, oh, poor baby. Let me hug you like

Jeremy Greer:

it's probably one of like three worst outcomes

Jeremy Greer:

that you could have for one of your, you know, mentees, right?

Jeremy Greer:

But in this, in this kind of environment, Jack is convinced

Jeremy Greer:

that this is the first of three Ripper victims and they're going

Jeremy Greer:

to he sees this as his opportunity to catch the Ripper,

Jeremy Greer:

which, of course, last time when this happened, he not only lost

Jeremy Greer:

the Ripper, he lost Miriam. He doesn't intend to waste this

Jeremy Greer:

opportunity. They get to the crime scene where nobody has

Jeremy Greer:

touched the body, except for maybe Beverly and z

Marie Vigouroux:

i just love that Jack was like, you're gonna

Marie Vigouroux:

get the crime get the crime scene fresh. I've been Beverly,

Marie Vigouroux:

like I touched the body, and I may have touched it too. Oh my

Marie Vigouroux:

god. You guys really are children.

Jeremy Greer:

They describe the surgery to remove the liver and

Jeremy Greer:

the heart as performed and then unperformed. And I, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

this was before we wrote notes. I was just watching this. It's

Jeremy Greer:

really interesting that they use that, that word, as we are

Jeremy Greer:

creating performance as a theme throughout this episode.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah and I think that's also really cool,

Marie Vigouroux:

right? This idea of surgery as a performance, because we do think

Marie Vigouroux:

about surgery like he performed surgery, or she performed

Marie Vigouroux:

surgery, so I just love when the theme shows up like that,

Jeremy Greer:

If you think about like, you know, in the medical

Jeremy Greer:

profession, like you were sometimes performing surgery for

Jeremy Greer:

an audience of people who are watching how you do it, right,

Marie Vigouroux:

of course, yeah

Jeremy Greer:

which is fascinating, too, this guy's

Jeremy Greer:

kidney is missing, and the killer went for his heart. But,

Jeremy Greer:

of course, but the heart is still there. So it's time for

Jeremy Greer:

will to go into Hunter vision mode. When the pendulum comes

Jeremy Greer:

out, he begins in the main part of the house. He sees the moose

Jeremy Greer:

walk through

Marie Vigouroux:

Jared!

Jeremy Greer:

We call this. We call this the stag for so long,

Jeremy Greer:

and then you make one moose joke, and now it's the moose for

Jeremy Greer:

And now it's Sam Winchester. What is Sam Winchester doing

Jeremy Greer:

life.

Jeremy Greer:

here?

Jeremy Greer:

Why is six foot nine Sam Winchester walking through the

Jeremy Greer:

set of Hannibal right now

Marie Vigouroux:

with his very, very big jeans

Jeremy Greer:

I bet there's some, some supernatural slash

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal fiction out there, huh? Like the boys are hunting

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal.

Marie Vigouroux:

There has to be right?

Jeremy Greer:

There has to be. God Hannibal would despise Dean

Jeremy Greer:

Winchester just absolutely, or he would just so completely

Jeremy Greer:

break Dean Winchester, right? That would also be super fun.

Jeremy Greer:

Anyway, let's not talk though I'm going down a maybe revealing

Jeremy Greer:

too much about myself.

Marie Vigouroux:

Like he would, he Yes, absolutely, he would be

Marie Vigouroux:

really, I think he would find him really rude, but also, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

there would be a little like, interest, right? Like he'd be

Marie Vigouroux:

like, what, what, what? What are you

Jeremy Greer:

demons are often the collection of evils in our

Jeremy Greer:

minds. Tell me, Dean, what evil do you have in your mind? What

Jeremy Greer:

evil Are you hunting? We should write this. If it's not already

Jeremy Greer:

written, we should, we should collaborate and write this.

Marie Vigouroux:

I Yeah, oh my god, okay, all right, making a

Marie Vigouroux:

note.

Jeremy Greer:

I'll find a I'll find a comic artist, and we

Jeremy Greer:

will, we will make a comic book out of this. This would be

Jeremy Greer:

brilliant. I just, want tell me, Dean. And then you just

Marie Vigouroux:

And then you just see Sam Winchester with

Marie Vigouroux:

antlers, walking through the room

Jeremy Greer:

just in the background like nobody noticed

Jeremy Greer:

this. He's just like, we're gonna get into this. So will

Jeremy Greer:

narrates this, as he usually does. He says that the victim

Jeremy Greer:

woke suddenly from a deep sedation, and they begin to

Jeremy Greer:

fight. Will throws this dude in the bathroom, and that's when he

Jeremy Greer:

realizes this man's heart is seizing up. So will digs into

Jeremy Greer:

this man's chest with the scalpel, spreads his ribs and is

Jeremy Greer:

holding his heart in his hand. And then this is throughout all

Jeremy Greer:

of this, like the music is really intense, and we see this

Jeremy Greer:

like thumping out. Like thumping heartbeat throughout and it's

Jeremy Greer:

going faster and faster. As will, shoves his hands in this

Jeremy Greer:

man's chest and holds his heart. He realizes that the killer was

Jeremy Greer:

massaging this heart to save this man. And as we as he

Jeremy Greer:

realizes that, like the heartbeat and the soundtrack

Jeremy Greer:

slows down to a more normal rate. So he's literally saving

Jeremy Greer:

this man's life. He comes back to our world and calls for Jack,

Jeremy Greer:

and is like it tells him what he saw, and says, would the Ripper

Jeremy Greer:

do that? Probably not right, for what we know about the Ripper

Jeremy Greer:

probably would not do this.

Marie Vigouroux:

No, certainly not.

Jeremy Greer:

There's a brief commercial break, and then the

Jeremy Greer:

scene is Jack and will in the bathroom, and z is standing in

Jeremy Greer:

the doorway, basically insisting that it's got to be the Ripper,

Jeremy Greer:

like there's he says there's 22 signature components. And will

Jeremy Greer:

disagrees and just kind of casually walks over and just

Jeremy Greer:

closes the door in the man's face, which is just really

Jeremy Greer:

funny.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, and honestly, like, I can't remember

Marie Vigouroux:

which one came out first, if it was Sherlock, or if it was this,

Marie Vigouroux:

but, like, this is a scene that is directly pulled or, like, you

Marie Vigouroux:

know, it's, it's a Sherlock moment, literally, where

Marie Vigouroux:

Sherlock Holmes in the BBC, Sherlock, like, closes the door

Marie Vigouroux:

on one of the ERTS called Anderson, and he's like, yes,

Marie Vigouroux:

Anderson, and just closes the door because Anderson is just

Marie Vigouroux:

being annoying and rude and wrong. And those are things that

Marie Vigouroux:

Sherlock absolutely hates.

Jeremy Greer:

There's actually a note in, I thought it was the

Jeremy Greer:

wiki, like the fandom wiki page that I saw this that mentioned

Jeremy Greer:

that, and I had never, I must. I don't remember. I didn't see, I

Jeremy Greer:

didn't watch the last season of Sherlock, but I watched the

Jeremy Greer:

first two seasons, and I didn't remember that at all. But I must

Jeremy Greer:

have been on the IMD page. Someone mentions it very

Jeremy Greer:

specifically, of like, oh, this is definitely a call to

Jeremy Greer:

Sherlock.

Marie Vigouroux:

It's how it felt! it's in the first episode,

Marie Vigouroux:

the very first episode, I think, like, the pink, the study in

Marie Vigouroux:

pink, actually, it's so good. It's so good. I loved the first

Marie Vigouroux:

few seasons of Sherlock, and this was like this again,

Marie Vigouroux:

tickled my, tickled my, my heart, this time, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Massaged my, my cold, dead heart.

Jeremy Greer:

The IMDb trivia page notes that great detecting

Jeremy Greer:

minds both behaving, both misbehaving impolitely alike,

Jeremy Greer:

which is a good sign. Jack insists at this point, or excuse

Jeremy Greer:

me, Will says, I'm, I think this is just a kid or a doctor

Jeremy Greer:

student just trying to make money on the like a black market

Jeremy Greer:

kind of thing. The Ripper. You know, he's this guy who left the

Jeremy Greer:

man in church with his tongue ripped out and used as a

Jeremy Greer:

bookmark in the Bible that he was reading, which is a

Jeremy Greer:

reference to one of the Hannibal kills in the books, which is

Jeremy Greer:

kind of cool. and Jack says, we'll catch the river. Or,

Jeremy Greer:

excuse me, Will says we'll catch the river Ripper. And Jack says,

Jeremy Greer:

I want to catch him now, and it's kind of spooky.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, it is spooky because he openly says

Marie Vigouroux:

that, like, he's basically going to kill him when he catches him,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, I think he says something like, you're not going to be

Marie Vigouroux:

able to shoot him, because I will do that first, right? And

Marie Vigouroux:

like, Listen, this is why I feel that Jack should have been

Marie Vigouroux:

pulled from this case, because it's clearly too personal for

Marie Vigouroux:

him, but it does make for great TV, because, like, of course, I

Marie Vigouroux:

don't want him shooting my little Meow, meow, don't shoot

Marie Vigouroux:

him. I love him.

Jeremy Greer:

Will. God damn it. I'm gonna keep doing it. I'm

Jeremy Greer:

sorry, everybody. I'm sorry. I don't know what it is. It's

Jeremy Greer:

like, if I do it once, the whole episode is cursed, but if I

Jeremy Greer:

don't manage the first if I can get over the hump, then I'm good

Jeremy Greer:

for the whole episode. It's so weird. Jack asked Will how he

Jeremy Greer:

sees the Ripper. And Will says he sees the Ripper as one of

Jeremy Greer:

these pitiful things born in a hospital that they don't even

Jeremy Greer:

put on machines. They just let it die. Except he doesn't die.

Jeremy Greer:

He just looks normal. And this is all dialog ripped directly

Jeremy Greer:

from Thomas Harris from the books. This is exactly the

Jeremy Greer:

thing. Yeah, it's like live line for line, which I thought was

Jeremy Greer:

cool.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh my god. And I think one thing that I really,

Marie Vigouroux:

really loved is when he says, nobody can tell what he is

Jeremy Greer:

so good because of the performance that he's

Jeremy Greer:

putting on right like nobody sees the real man. And of

Jeremy Greer:

course, as the classic Hannibal move, we're gonna cut directly

Jeremy Greer:

to Hannibal after this.

Marie Vigouroux:

I love this. I love this so much again, like, I

Marie Vigouroux:

find that the editing of this is just so brilliant, the writing

Marie Vigouroux:

everything is great, right? So this is like, what will just

Marie Vigouroux:

said to Jack, is basically what Miriam lass had also told Jack

Marie Vigouroux:

before. Right? It was much less poetic when she said it, but she

Marie Vigouroux:

did say that, you know, he had no remorse, but he isn't a

Marie Vigouroux:

drifter, and he doesn't have a history of trouble with the law.

Marie Vigouroux:

So I'm sort of like back to thinking about how I think that

Marie Vigouroux:

Jack picked Will Graham to work on this case specifically

Marie Vigouroux:

because he was so different from Miriam, but then he's now

Marie Vigouroux:

hearing him come to the same conclusions that she did two

Marie Vigouroux:

years ago. Like that must be really hard on him, and we're

Marie Vigouroux:

going to see that he kind of like mixes them up in his mind

Marie Vigouroux:

at some point soon in this episode.

Jeremy Greer:

And we, you know, Alana is going to talk about

Jeremy Greer:

this in a little while too, just like Jack's lenience and

Jeremy Greer:

reliance upon will, to Will's detriment, and also obvious,

Jeremy Greer:

obviously to Miriam's detriment, like, hopefully, will doesn't

Jeremy Greer:

get his arm cut off right? Like That would be horrible,

Jeremy Greer:

hopefully, hopefully. But in Hannibal's office, it's time for

Jeremy Greer:

Franklin's appointments. You could tell he's excited to talk

Jeremy Greer:

about Hannibal as he sits on the edge of his seat and tells

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal like, oh, I kind of thought you would be at this

Jeremy Greer:

performance. And I tried to get your attention, and it didn't

Jeremy Greer:

work, but I could tell that you knew I was trying, and Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

is you could tell he's almost disgusted by Franklin.

Jeremy Greer:

Throughout this entire conversation, it's, it's got to

Jeremy Greer:

be pretty miserable for Franklin to be honest with you. And he

Jeremy Greer:

tries to say, like, hey, you know they would be unethical for

Jeremy Greer:

us to acknowledge one another in our relationship outside of this

Jeremy Greer:

room. And because you know you're you're a patient,

Marie Vigouroux:

it's especially unethical for Hannibal to point

Marie Vigouroux:

him out as a patient, right? Like the patients can say, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

because it belongs to them, right? Like they, they they're

Marie Vigouroux:

not bound by confidentiality about their own life. But like

Marie Vigouroux:

therapists, psychiatrists, doctors are bound by

Marie Vigouroux:

confidentiality. Like a doctor cannot point out, this is my

Marie Vigouroux:

patient, but a patient can say, this is my doctor,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, I made a my therapist moved on, so I had to

Jeremy Greer:

find a new therapist, and she was telling me this. I made a

Jeremy Greer:

joke at the end. It's like, oh, well, you know, we can be

Jeremy Greer:

Facebook friends now. And she was like, No, the ethics. I was

Jeremy Greer:

like, Oh, okay. And because we live in

Marie Vigouroux:

that's a good therapist!

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, because we live in a cursed world, I open

Jeremy Greer:

up like Facebook, and then my suggested friends, her profile

Jeremy Greer:

picture shows up for the first time, and like, never, has never

Jeremy Greer:

showed up before, and like, the year that I've been going to and

Jeremy Greer:

I was like, this is just weird. Facebook, I don't need you

Jeremy Greer:

listening to these conversations.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh my god, I hate this so much. Facebook

Marie Vigouroux:

listens to you.

Jeremy Greer:

I know it's just not it's not fun. Franklin

Jeremy Greer:

desperately wants to be friends with Hannibal. And he even says,

Jeremy Greer:

like, it makes me sad that I have to pay to see you. And

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal is just growing more and more frustrated through this

Jeremy Greer:

conversations. And yeah, like, you just Franklin. Like, just

Jeremy Greer:

Franklin,

Marie Vigouroux:

I know I mean, this is like, this gave me major

Marie Vigouroux:

secondhand embarrassment, like the office level of secondhand

Marie Vigouroux:

embarrassment. Like, I just again, oh, Franklin. Like, you

Marie Vigouroux:

need better boundaries, you know, like, because even if

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal wasn't a cannibal, like, this is just so awkward,

Marie Vigouroux:

so so awkward. Like, you can tell that Hannibal is not having

Marie Vigouroux:

it. Like, let it go. Just say you're sorry and move on. Like,

Marie Vigouroux:

find a different therapist.

Jeremy Greer:

And it's different than the way that he was with

Jeremy Greer:

Bella, right? Which is the, really, the only time we've seen

Jeremy Greer:

him in therapy mode, besides Franklin. And with Bella, he's

Jeremy Greer:

very patient. He has insight, and he obviously, like, is

Jeremy Greer:

trying to manipulate her so he can close the check, so he can

Jeremy Greer:

eventually eat every can eventually eat everybody in the

Jeremy Greer:

FBI. But here he could tell he's just, like, dismissive, almost.

Jeremy Greer:

And it's, it's just really, it's just, it's like you said, it's

Jeremy Greer:

very awkward. It gets even worse when Franklin describes crying,

Jeremy Greer:

listening to Michael Jackson and beginning to cry, not because

Jeremy Greer:

he's dead, but because, now that he's dead, Franklin won't be

Jeremy Greer:

there. Can't be his friend, and if he was Michael Jackson's

Jeremy Greer:

friend, he says, I would be able to save him. I'd be able to, you

Jeremy Greer:

know, I'd be able to save him from what he did to himself. And

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal says, like he has a question, like, what would your

Jeremy Greer:

part of this friendship be like? What would you gain from this

Jeremy Greer:

friendship? And Franklin says, I would just get would just get to

Jeremy Greer:

touch greatness, which is what he's he sees in Hannibal that

Jeremy Greer:

he's reaching out to, even though he's responding to maybe

Jeremy Greer:

the worst kind of greatness that has ever been so,

Marie Vigouroux:

I mean, so Hannibal, first off, is just so

Marie Vigouroux:

unimpressed when Franklin says, Sorry. I just think this is so

Marie Vigouroux:

funny, like, because Franklin says that he's feeling like

Marie Vigouroux:

crying over Michael Jackson, and, like, we saw him tearing up

Marie Vigouroux:

over like an opera piece by Handel, and Franklin is talking

Marie Vigouroux:

about pop music. And like, you can just tell that Hannibal is

Marie Vigouroux:

just so insulted that Franklin says that, like, they love the

Marie Vigouroux:

same things that would make great, great friends. Like, dare

Marie Vigouroux:

I say, he finds him rude,

Jeremy Greer:

of course.

Marie Vigouroux:

But there's, there's, like, another thing

Marie Vigouroux:

that I was really fascinated with in this moment, um,

Marie Vigouroux:

especially on my first watch. And it's how, like, Franklin

Marie Vigouroux:

basically says that if he had had been friends with Michael

Marie Vigouroux:

Jackson, like he could have helped save him from himself.

Marie Vigouroux:

And I sent you a DM about this, and you didn't like it, but I

Marie Vigouroux:

said, you and I are kind of like Franklin,

Jeremy Greer:

I don't like that

Marie Vigouroux:

because we both think, we both think that the

Marie Vigouroux:

same thing about Hannibal, really, like, I can fix him, no,

Marie Vigouroux:

really, I can

Jeremy Greer:

I can fix him. No, just take it. I can do it.

Marie Vigouroux:

But Daddy, I love him.

Jeremy Greer:

Have you? Have you seen American Psycho?

Marie Vigouroux:

I haven't.

Jeremy Greer:

Okay, not. I'm not one of those dudes that holds up

Jeremy Greer:

American Psycho. It was like one of his favorite movies or

Jeremy Greer:

something. But there's a, there's a famous speech in that

Jeremy Greer:

where as the main character is about to kill some some people,

Jeremy Greer:

he talks about Huey Lewis, in the news, he goes into this,

Jeremy Greer:

like, really in depth musical analysis of why it's one of the

Jeremy Greer:

most important albums of the of the decade. And at the same

Jeremy Greer:

time, he's, like, covered in plastic andaxe murdering people,

Jeremy Greer:

right? Like, it's kind of a fascinating scene.

Marie Vigouroux:

Excellent.

Jeremy Greer:

Yes, I agree. I know what I just what I was

Jeremy Greer:

watching this and listen. Franklin talk about Michael

Jeremy Greer:

Jackson. I was reminded of that scene. I was wondering what how

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal would feel about him talking to him, because, like,

Jeremy Greer:

you're right, that he's insulted because there Franklin is

Jeremy Greer:

comparing, like, pop music to this, this opera and but I think

Jeremy Greer:

like, if Franklin could sell like, if Franklin could speak

Jeremy Greer:

about Michael Jackson's music, he could sell it to Hannibal as

Jeremy Greer:

being powerful, but it's not about the music, right? It's

Jeremy Greer:

completely about something different. It's about this

Jeremy Greer:

relationship that He's invented in his head. And that's that's

Marie Vigouroux:

but that's the thing, I think Hannibal also,

Marie Vigouroux:

fascinating to me,

Marie Vigouroux:

like in his performance of a human being, right? Of a quote,

Marie Vigouroux:

unquote, normal human being, also, like, tends to gravitate

Marie Vigouroux:

towards like, very high brow stuff, whereas like, we tend to

Marie Vigouroux:

think about pop music as lower brow than like, than than opera.

Marie Vigouroux:

And I kind of wonder how much of that is because he's trying to

Marie Vigouroux:

be somebody to present the face of somebody that he's not really

Marie Vigouroux:

and so I wonder how he would react if somebody were to

Marie Vigouroux:

explain it, like, on an emotional level, like what it

Marie Vigouroux:

means to like Michael Jackson's music

Jeremy Greer:

I bet will have some garbage opinions about

Jeremy Greer:

Music, man, like, he's probably like, no, no, no, no. Hannibal,

Jeremy Greer:

like, seriously, like, arms wide open is one of the anthems of

Jeremy Greer:

the 2000s and we need to listen to it together. Like He's six

Jeremy Greer:

feet from the edge. Hannibal, He's six feet he doesn't know,

Jeremy Greer:

listen to me. Man, it's powerful. And Hannibal is just

Jeremy Greer:

like, My God, why do I love this man?

Marie Vigouroux:

But Hannibal makes allowances for will, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

we'll, we'll see that later, but he makes allowances for will

Marie Vigouroux:

that he doesn't make for other people.

Jeremy Greer:

Oh, yeah, and we, actually, we've already seen

Jeremy Greer:

that, right? With the when Hannibal smelled him and was

Jeremy Greer:

like, What is this aftershave that you're using? Like, it

Jeremy Greer:

turned him off, but like, he was, he still allowed it, right?

Jeremy Greer:

He still It wasn't off putting to him, or maybe it was off

Jeremy Greer:

putting but like he still accepted it. I guess we should

Jeremy Greer:

say

Marie Vigouroux:

he's, I think this is him thinking, like, I

Marie Vigouroux:

can fix him. No, really, I can. He's like, I can give him a

Marie Vigouroux:

better after shave

Jeremy Greer:

the soundtrack to the show. We're gonna cut from

Jeremy Greer:

here to our girl, Gillian Anderson. She is playing the

Jeremy Greer:

character of she's not named in this episode, but Bedia du Mari,

Jeremy Greer:

M, a, u r, i e r. Am I saying that right?

Marie Vigouroux:

DuMaurier?

Jeremy Greer:

There you go. And before we even get into this

Jeremy Greer:

character, or Gillian's performance, or anything that

Jeremy Greer:

happens, I want to just mention real quick that they originally

Jeremy Greer:

meant to cast Angela Lansbury in this role. I can't imagine

Marie Vigouroux:

what a different vibe

Jeremy Greer:

what a huge different vibe. And for those of

Jeremy Greer:

you out there that know everything that is gonna happen

Jeremy Greer:

with the Bedelia during the events of Hannibal, like just, I

Jeremy Greer:

just want you to picture Angela Lansbury in those roles and just

Jeremy Greer:

get the biggest fucking laugh, like I did, because I love

Jeremy Greer:

Angela Lansbury. I think she's probably one of the has she

Jeremy Greer:

died? Is she dead? I don't even know if she's alive anymore.

Marie Vigouroux:

I don't know. I don't know. I think of her as

Marie Vigouroux:

permanently alive.

Jeremy Greer:

no, oh no, no. She passed two years ago, october 22

Jeremy Greer:

but she's probably one of the greatest actors, actors of our

Jeremy Greer:

generation. But some of the stuff that happens on the show

Jeremy Greer:

would be really weird to see, you know, grandma, murder

Jeremy Greer:

writer, doing some of this stuff.

Marie Vigouroux:

So for for transparency, I do. I knew that

Marie Vigouroux:

Gillian was going to be on this show, and I know I had heard

Marie Vigouroux:

like her character name before, and I also know that she might

Marie Vigouroux:

not be a great person. But again, like, I feel like that's

Marie Vigouroux:

kind of like what the show is. Like, there are no great people

Marie Vigouroux:

on this show, so like, but I do, like, that's what I know, just

Marie Vigouroux:

so that people are aware of, like, what I know.

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, I would, I would go so far as to say, like,

Jeremy Greer:

there's no, there's definitely protagonists, but there's no

Jeremy Greer:

heroes on this show, right, which I think is super

Jeremy Greer:

interesting. There's, there's maybe one or two, and we will

Jeremy Greer:

talk about them as we get to them

Marie Vigouroux:

but anyway, she is so beautiful,

Jeremy Greer:

heartbreakingly gorgeous,

Marie Vigouroux:

such a vision.

Jeremy Greer:

I mean, just like, yes, yeah, I'd like, Have you

Jeremy Greer:

ever, this is such a weird pull. Have you ever seen the Reddit

Jeremy Greer:

post where it's like, you know, if you could go back in time.

Jeremy Greer:

What would you do? Like, what would you go back and what would

Jeremy Greer:

you want to change? And like, one of the first posts, and

Jeremy Greer:

like, so highly upvoted, is this man who talks about, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

I've lost my wife to cancer. She was the most beautiful woman in

Jeremy Greer:

the world. I just, I would go back and just spend more time

Jeremy Greer:

with her. I just, I miss her every single day. And the the

Jeremy Greer:

first post in response is, I also choose that guy's dead

Jeremy Greer:

is. I mean, she is, like, she opens the door and it's like,

Jeremy Greer:

wife. Just she is so heartbreakingly beautiful. And

Jeremy Greer:

the reason I'm thinking about that is like, this is like, if

Jeremy Greer:

you're this is the ultimate, like, dead ex wife. She just

Jeremy Greer:

looks that heartbreakingly beautiful, like in every action

Jeremy Greer:

movie where the, you know, the main star gets motivated by his

Jeremy Greer:

dead ex wife. It's this, this image, this beautiful woman that

Jeremy Greer:

has this heartbreaking face. So anyway, I'm sorry that was, that

Jeremy Greer:

was a long rant to talk about how beautiful Gillian Anderson

Jeremy Greer:

you know, like the My heart skipped a beat,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, she has that effect on people.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, absolutely. And especially like

Marie Vigouroux:

in this part where she's, like, so confident and just so like,

Marie Vigouroux:

oh, okay, okay.

Jeremy Greer:

another thing I want to mention is that this is

Jeremy Greer:

a wholly created character for the show, so this has not ever

Jeremy Greer:

been anything in the books or the previous movies, which is

Jeremy Greer:

fantastic because this is Hannibal's psychiatrist, and

Jeremy Greer:

they sit down, and they begin to have a conversation. And much

Jeremy Greer:

like any conversation in Hannibal where there's therapy

Jeremy Greer:

happening, it's almost impossible to keep up with all

Jeremy Greer:

of the incredible writing. She says that, you know, these

Jeremy Greer:

sessions generally go better when she's perfectly honest.

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal says, I'm I'm being honest. And she goes not

Jeremy Greer:

perfectly, which is just, I just love the verbal sparring and all

Jeremy Greer:

of this. She describes talking to a version of Hannibal, and

Jeremy Greer:

she hopes that what she says gets to, gets behind that, and

Jeremy Greer:

it gets to because he's wearing a well tailored person suit. And

Jeremy Greer:

again, this gets back to our theme of performance, like I

Jeremy Greer:

mentioned earlier, like this is him pretending to be a normal

Jeremy Greer:

human person and going to psychiatry. But she recognizes

Jeremy Greer:

the fact that this is all fake, but she's still trying to talk

Jeremy Greer:

to whatever or whoever it is behind that suit.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, she said something about like, how she

Marie Vigouroux:

hopes that the real you gets what he needs, kind of thing.

Marie Vigouroux:

And that's making me think that, like she's basically the that we

Marie Vigouroux:

see right as the audience. She's basically the first person to

Marie Vigouroux:

see Hannibal's performance, even though, at this point it seems

Marie Vigouroux:

like she doesn't necessarily see through it, like she can't quite

Marie Vigouroux:

tell what's behind it. Or maybe she doesn't, we just don't, or I

Marie Vigouroux:

just don't know it yet. But at this point in time, it feels

Marie Vigouroux:

like she may not quite know what is behind this, this well

Marie Vigouroux:

tailored person suit, which, oh my god, what a great line

Jeremy Greer:

an amazing phrase, because my person suit is not

Jeremy Greer:

very well tailored. My person suit is very ill fitting, so

Jeremy Greer:

it's baggy, and places I don't want it to be baggy, it's it's

Jeremy Greer:

weak in places I don't want it to be weak.

Marie Vigouroux:

Well, again, it's this idea of like, well

Marie Vigouroux:

tailored, right? Like, so it's very Hannibal, right? Who makes

Marie Vigouroux:

sure that all of the details are perfect. There's like, he has

Marie Vigouroux:

this, you know, this obsession about control, but also about

Marie Vigouroux:

perfection. And, of course, his persona right to move away from

Marie Vigouroux:

the person suit, but like, his persona is well tailored, so

Marie Vigouroux:

much so that, like, she's like, that's not people aren't like

Marie Vigouroux:

that, like normal people aren't like that. So you are wearing a

Marie Vigouroux:

well tailored person suit. But there's something else

Marie Vigouroux:

underneath that.

Jeremy Greer:

We learned that because he asked her something

Jeremy Greer:

about, do you describe me as a well tailored person suit to

Jeremy Greer:

your psychiatrist friends? She says, you know, I don't talk to

Jeremy Greer:

about any of my patients with my psychiatrist friends. In fact, I

Jeremy Greer:

don't have any patients other than you, because you're the

Jeremy Greer:

only one that insisted I couldn't retire. And I find

Jeremy Greer:

that's a really fascinating insight into this relationship

Jeremy Greer:

that we are just now learning, that we're learning about for

Jeremy Greer:

the first time, because it kind of, you know, we're going to

Jeremy Greer:

talk here in just a minute, where he's kind of wanting to be

Jeremy Greer:

friends with her. And it's this line is so strange to me,

Jeremy Greer:

because it almost like tips the power balance in his favor.

Jeremy Greer:

Because, like, Why? Why would she agree to be his therapist if

Jeremy Greer:

she's retired? Like, what is it that's drawing her back to him?

Jeremy Greer:

What is it that he's making her Why is he making her do this?

Jeremy Greer:

Why her? And it's just kind of interesting to me, especially

Jeremy Greer:

because she asked him, she says, you know, maybe this is not a

Jeremy Greer:

person suit, maybe this is a human veil, which is also just a

Jeremy Greer:

remarkable phrase. And they start talking about friends, and

Jeremy Greer:

you know, he says, you know we're friends, or you know we're

Jeremy Greer:

at least friendly. And Bedelia's like, we're absolutely not

Jeremy Greer:

friends, homie. We don't, you know, she goes, You know, when

Jeremy Greer:

we finish this, I'll pour you a glass of wine, but she'll be

Jeremy Greer:

drinking it on the other side of the veil. And again, just go

Jeremy Greer:

back to that line of like, You're my only patient. You

Jeremy Greer:

wouldn't let me retire. Like, why? What has happened? What is

Jeremy Greer:

this relationship? Right?

Marie Vigouroux:

No, I agree with you. Like, I was like, Oh,

Marie Vigouroux:

well. So it's interesting, because the way that I

Marie Vigouroux:

understood that was that, like, she, she's still like, she still

Marie Vigouroux:

has to have some sort of like, she still has to consent to see

Marie Vigouroux:

him right, like she could, she could just not open the door,

Marie Vigouroux:

you know what I mean, yeah, and so I think, I think she's really

Marie Vigouroux:

like, again, this is just like, first impressions but I think

Marie Vigouroux:

she's really intrigued by this man, right? And so that's why

Marie Vigouroux:

she kind of keeps them on as a patient. But I think also like

Marie Vigouroux:

they are each other's like intellectual equals, and I think

Marie Vigouroux:

that probably both of them have trouble finding that like in

Marie Vigouroux:

their lives, and so there's, like, this bond that's been

Marie Vigouroux:

created between these two people. Because, like, you

Marie Vigouroux:

cannot tell me that Bedelia is also not like wearing a very

Marie Vigouroux:

well tailored person suit. Like, there's something about this

Marie Vigouroux:

woman

Jeremy Greer:

well, and some of it is the trappings that we see

Jeremy Greer:

her in, too, this extremely, very clean, organized,

Jeremy Greer:

respectfully tasteful kind of furnishings that she has in the

Jeremy Greer:

room, very It seems very expensive. And you know, she's

Jeremy Greer:

she's wearing a nice tailored dress, and she has perfectly

Jeremy Greer:

coiffed hair, she offers him a glass of wine. So you get the

Jeremy Greer:

like, even if they're not, even if we don't know that they're

Jeremy Greer:

intellectual equals, we kind of feel that they're operating on

Jeremy Greer:

the same plane, yes, and I think the implication is that they are

Jeremy Greer:

intellectual equals. Because otherwise, why would Hannibal be

Jeremy Greer:

here, right? Like, there's no he would never subject himself to

Jeremy Greer:

somebody poking around in his head, like Dr Gideon described

Jeremy Greer:

Alana doing in the previous episode. And yeah, this

Jeremy Greer:

relationship is fascinating, and I can't wait to talk about it

Jeremy Greer:

more.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, I'm really excited about it too, to

Marie Vigouroux:

be honest with you. And like, when I first watched it, it was

Marie Vigouroux:

really, really surprising to me, because, like, we had just seen

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal like being so upset and having so much contempt for

Marie Vigouroux:

Franklin, wanting to be his friend, and yet he's basically

Marie Vigouroux:

put in a similar position now, right? Like he's seeing a lot

Marie Vigouroux:

more into this relationship with his psychiatrist than there

Marie Vigouroux:

really is, or even than there should be, right? And and the

Marie Vigouroux:

psychiatrist having to, kind of, like, put him back, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

reframe him, and be like, no, no, you're my patient. I'm your

Marie Vigouroux:

I'm your therapist. Like, there's, there's no friendship

Marie Vigouroux:

there. So it was like, Oh, okay. So like, you also are seeking

Marie Vigouroux:

ways of, like, just touching greatness, just like Franklin,

Marie Vigouroux:

right? So, ah, it's tickling my brain. And I'm also thinking

Marie Vigouroux:

about, like, bedelias line, that she's basically because she's

Marie Vigouroux:

basically saying, like, even if you weren't my patient, you

Marie Vigouroux:

wouldn't be my friend, because you constantly have to hide who

Marie Vigouroux:

you are, right? Like, when she says, like, drink, you would be

Marie Vigouroux:

drinking it on the other side of the veil. And I kind of love

Marie Vigouroux:

that again, like it makes me think that, like, she knows a

Marie Vigouroux:

lot more about who he is than he lets on, and that's why he's

Marie Vigouroux:

like, Oh, she knows me, and she's she, she knows me, and she

Marie Vigouroux:

still, like, accepts me, I guess, like she loves me, or

Marie Vigouroux:

loves me, maybe despite who I am, I like, I don't know this is

Marie Vigouroux:

a weird relationship, but I gotta love it. I love it so

Marie Vigouroux:

much.

Jeremy Greer:

It's good, it's good. And the good news is we

Jeremy Greer:

will get to explore this relationship to all of all of

Jeremy Greer:

its nooks and crannies in time. Evil laugh. Insert evil laugh.

Jeremy Greer:

Will arrives to find Hannibal drinking. This is kind of an

Jeremy Greer:

awkward transition, because this episode was originally supposed

Jeremy Greer:

to be like the fourth episode in the series. But really, Brian

Jeremy Greer:

Fuller was like, Maybe we should develop Hannibal more before we

Jeremy Greer:

show him killing three people to make a fantastic feast. Like,

Jeremy Greer:

maybe we should build him up a little bit. So they reshot this

Jeremy Greer:

a little bit, and this is one of the kind of follow ups from this

Jeremy Greer:

is because we go from seeing him drink a pink wine at Bedelia's

Jeremy Greer:

house to him drinking pink wine at his office when will comes

Jeremy Greer:

in. Just a little weird. So

Marie Vigouroux:

I kind of, I kind of loved that, actually,

Marie Vigouroux:

because, um, it did feel a bit choppy, but I, but I loved it,

Marie Vigouroux:

because it's like he's, he saw this glass of wine as being

Marie Vigouroux:

like, maybe a step toward friendship and closeness with

Marie Vigouroux:

Bedelia, and so he's trying to recreate that with will. And I

Marie Vigouroux:

just, I kind of love that. I love that he is, like, so

Marie Vigouroux:

desperately trying to be friends with will.

Jeremy Greer:

And this is going to come up because he Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

describes his relationship with the psychiatrist, his with his

Jeremy Greer:

psychiatrist as unconventional, and will says we have that in

Jeremy Greer:

common. And you know, Hannibal specifically told Jack, when

Jeremy Greer:

Jack asked that he was not Will's therapist, that they just

Jeremy Greer:

have conversations, right? So again, like Will, Hannibal. Will

Jeremy Greer:

is very, very, wants to be very, very clear about these lines and

Jeremy Greer:

their relationships and how exactly that's defined, which is

Jeremy Greer:

fascinating to me, like that's just the way that Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

works, I guess.

Marie Vigouroux:

And it's it's also like, because this is when

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal asks Will if he's really his patient, or if

Marie Vigouroux:

they're simply having conversations. And will replies,

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, I think is the answer to that. Just like, Oh, poor

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal again, being like, reframed about the nature of his

Marie Vigouroux:

relationship with somebody, right? Like, he doesn't want

Marie Vigouroux:

will to be his patient. He wants him to be his boyfriend. So

Marie Vigouroux:

clear.

Jeremy Greer:

I love this so much, because will says yes to

Jeremy Greer:

both of those so that they're just talking, Hannibal decides

Jeremy Greer:

to offer him a glass of wine, saying it would be

Jeremy Greer:

inappropriate, given that it's a late appointment, and they're

Jeremy Greer:

just, you know, friends. And he tells will that he's been seeing

Jeremy Greer:

a psychiatrist since he decided to become a psychiatrist

Jeremy Greer:

himself, which I think is another like, just so extra.

Jeremy Greer:

Like, I just, I just, it's so, it's so just the idea of the

Jeremy Greer:

amount of work you have to do to become a psychiatrist, like the

Jeremy Greer:

years of study and like, classes that you have to take, like,

Jeremy Greer:

it's not like he just decided to become a psychiatrist, or, like,

Jeremy Greer:

I can decide to go fishing tomorrow. I can't decide to go

Jeremy Greer:

be a psychiatrist tomorrow. Like, I can't. But just the idea

Jeremy Greer:

that he was like, Nope, I'm gonna be a psychiatrist, let me

Jeremy Greer:

just, I had mean, do I have to have my own? And then he changes

Jeremy Greer:

the subject again,

Marie Vigouroux:

it's this idea of like, Oh, if, if I want to do

Marie Vigouroux:

this, then I must do that. Because that is the accepted

Marie Vigouroux:

thing. Like, it's the the desire to fit in this society, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Which is also something that I think a lot of neurodivergent

Marie Vigouroux:

people can can relate to, which is interesting, because will has

Marie Vigouroux:

never really tried. We haven't really seen will trying to fit

Marie Vigouroux:

in. He actually kind of rejects that idea. And I wonder if maybe

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal doesn't think that that's really fascinating to

Marie Vigouroux:

him.

Jeremy Greer:

They drink wine. It looks will look so awkward

Jeremy Greer:

with a glass of wine in his and it's he's so comfortable in his

Jeremy Greer:

like, flannel clothing, and his like, kind of dressed down as

Jeremy Greer:

compared to like, the accoutrement that Hannibal has

Jeremy Greer:

in his office, and his like, super put together suit that

Jeremy Greer:

will just holding a wine glass, and that just looks awkward to

Jeremy Greer:

me. It's very funny. Hannibal changes the subject to the

Jeremy Greer:

latest Ripper case, which he read on Freddie Loundes blog,

Jeremy Greer:

and begins to ask, Will you know what? Is this a ripper victim or

Jeremy Greer:

not, right? Like, is this something that do you think Jack

Jeremy Greer:

is going to be finding out about all this other kind of stuff

Marie Vigouroux:

Listen, I like Hannibal, is just such a chaos

Marie Vigouroux:

Gremlin, you know, he's trying to convince will that maybe the

Marie Vigouroux:

Ripper was never the same guy, right? And will just completely

Marie Vigouroux:

dismisses this idea for no other reason than he thinks that it's

Marie Vigouroux:

completely absurd to think that the Ripper could have a friend.

Marie Vigouroux:

And again, ouch. Like, Hannibal is just getting like, you know,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, Oh my God. Like, nobody likes him. I just wants a

Jeremy Greer:

So horrible. That's so horrible. Will, are

Jeremy Greer:

friend!

Jeremy Greer:

you so mean to our boy? I know they talk about the kill and

Jeremy Greer:

they talk about the rippers killing. And will describes it

Jeremy Greer:

as, you know, very everybody was been brutalized. Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

prompts, what was the brutalization hiding and will is

Jeremy Greer:

kind of taken aback by the idea that, you know, oh, there, there

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, I agree.

Jeremy Greer:

were organs missing. Like, could this be organ harvesters? Could

Jeremy Greer:

this be, like a group of people that we thought was the Ripper?

Jeremy Greer:

And we go from here to a past shot, which we know because it's

Jeremy Greer:

in, faded black and white. And Hannibal, for insurance

Jeremy Greer:

And we go immediately from. This to the man in the morgue at the

Jeremy Greer:

purposes, is getting, like his blood drawn. And the man is

Jeremy Greer:

relatively rude because he, you know, he's demands to know if

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal has any infections, and kind of condescendingly explains

Jeremy Greer:

the differences between infections and diseases. And we

Jeremy Greer:

see Hannibal request his business card, which is

Jeremy Greer:

shouldn't be ominous, something that I do constantly like this

Jeremy Greer:

is a thing that happens in my life almost every single day.

Jeremy Greer:

Why is this so ominous? And we know because we cut from here to

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal, or the same man, the same doctor, pulling over on the

Jeremy Greer:

side of the road because his gas tank is leaking, and Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

pulls up directly behind him, and this, like, slow walk

Jeremy Greer:

directly to him is so intimidating and so scary, and

Jeremy Greer:

we because we know what's going to happen, and it's, it's, it's

Jeremy Greer:

terrifying, and, like, the music cranks up, we get this, like,

Jeremy Greer:

good, good, solid. I really enjoy Hannibal's original music

Jeremy Greer:

soundtrack, like the clanging and everything. I think it's

Jeremy Greer:

really good. A lot of people do not like it. Like, a lot of

Jeremy Greer:

people are like, there's a bunch of memes of like, Hannibal looks

Jeremy Greer:

at will a glass breaks, somebody drops a piano. But I actually

Jeremy Greer:

really enjoy it when the music, like, steps up and gets real

Jeremy Greer:

weird like this,

Jeremy Greer:

FBI. He's literally been sawed in half. And Zeller is there

Jeremy Greer:

saying that the man's kidney and heart were removed, and saying,

Jeremy Greer:

Well, that's, that's what the Ripper was looking for in the

Jeremy Greer:

first victim we found. And interspersed throughout all of

Jeremy Greer:

this, as we're talking, it's Hannibal just preparing meat,

Jeremy Greer:

like, you know, wrapping up the heart or and like pulling the

Jeremy Greer:

liver and like stuffing the liver with something, or

Jeremy Greer:

whatever. It looks so delicious. It looks so good. I just have

Jeremy Greer:

all of this. Just looks so tasty.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, like I'm not even an organ person. Like,

Marie Vigouroux:

I don't love eating organs, like I try to avoid them as much as

Marie Vigouroux:

possible, but I would definitely try some of those dishes. Like,

Marie Vigouroux:

why do I want to eat this?

Jeremy Greer:

That's the problem. I had this conversation

Jeremy Greer:

on my podcast a long time ago with my buddy Gary. Like, I

Jeremy Greer:

think one of the horrifying things about being friends with

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal is like, eventually you realize, like, he fed you human

Jeremy Greer:

meat, right? And you're like, Oh yeah, I eat human meat. That's

Jeremy Greer:

really disgusting and horrible. I don't think I would feel that

Jeremy Greer:

bad about it, though I feel like I'd be like, I mean, it sucks,

Jeremy Greer:

like, but I didn't kill anybody. Like, it's not my fault.

Marie Vigouroux:

What would be really horrifying for me is,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, oh, shit, I liked it. You know, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, that would be like, I have to, like, really

Jeremy Greer:

horrify reevaluate some things in myself. But I think, like,

Jeremy Greer:

I'm a strong enough personality that, like, like, I absolutely

Jeremy Greer:

love tiramisu. I don't eat tiramisu every single day of my

Jeremy Greer:

life. You know what I'm saying. Like, I could probably resist

Jeremy Greer:

eating human meat after the after I learned it was human

Jeremy Greer:

meat. I don't think I, you know what I'm like. I don't think I

Jeremy Greer:

would like, like, crazy, yeah, just be like, Oh, just cook it

Jeremy Greer:

rare next time or something. I don't know what I'm saying.

Marie Vigouroux:

Also, there's also something about like, yeah,

Marie Vigouroux:

this podcast is going places, unexpected places, to be honest.

Marie Vigouroux:

But there's also something about, like, how he only, only

Marie Vigouroux:

seems to be harvesting organs. Like, I, for some reason I feel

Marie Vigouroux:

like, like, can't believe I'm about to say this out loud in

Marie Vigouroux:

front of a hot mic, but like, there's so much meat in a human

Marie Vigouroux:

being, and you choose to get only the organs. Like, it seems

Marie Vigouroux:

weird to me. But anyway,

Jeremy Greer:

I think let's remember that for the

Jeremy Greer:

conversation that will and Hannibal have a little bit later

Jeremy Greer:

in this episode, because I think it applies. But Zeller keeps

Jeremy Greer:

talking about this victim that's been cut in half, and that how

Jeremy Greer:

they found him on a school bus, literally looking across my

Jeremy Greer:

aisle from himself. And I found this so hilarious, because,

Jeremy Greer:

like, the guy was condescendingly explaining to

Jeremy Greer:

PhD psychiatrist Hannibal what the difference between infection

Jeremy Greer:

and diseases are. And Hannibal literally sent this dude back to

Jeremy Greer:

school on a bus cut in half, like, it's so good.

Marie Vigouroux:

Listen, I didn't even think about that.

Marie Vigouroux:

And then I read your notes. And honestly, I think, like I was

Marie Vigouroux:

taking my notes last night, and I just like, no, like, I didn't

Marie Vigouroux:

think about it. It's so freaking brilliant. It's so good. Plus,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, Hannibal is also like, a surgeon, of course, he knows the

Marie Vigouroux:

difference between a disease and an infection. This is so good.

Marie Vigouroux:

This is he's so extra,

Jeremy Greer:

So extra will still believes this is two

Jeremy Greer:

killers, that it was the Ripper did this one, but not the first

Jeremy Greer:

one. Zeller is still unbelieving. Still the kind of

Jeremy Greer:

the argument and will kind of presents this idea of organ

Jeremy Greer:

harvesters. They talk about organs and like USB cables,

Jeremy Greer:

which must drive a bunch of medical people watching the show

Jeremy Greer:

crazy like I can't imagine, but they posit the other guy, whose

Jeremy Greer:

name I still don't know, on the team, that kind of says, like,

Jeremy Greer:

maybe it could be two different people. One's an organ harvester

Jeremy Greer:

pretending to be a serial killer, and one's a serial

Jeremy Greer:

killer that harvests organs. And then there's a lot in here.

Jeremy Greer:

Zeller says at some point that he took to will, like, that's

Jeremy Greer:

how the Ripper rips, which is very funny, because it's a runny

Jeremy Greer:

joke between me and Autumn. We one Christmas one year they have

Jeremy Greer:

a Jack the Ripper board game. And so, like, I had heard that

Jeremy Greer:

it was fun to play or whatever, and we're not typically like a

Jeremy Greer:

board game family, but we had a friend over, and Autumn's dad

Jeremy Greer:

was there, and this was before he had a stroke. So like, you

Jeremy Greer:

know, we could, we could all play board games together. And

Jeremy Greer:

in typical board game fashion, like it took forever to figure

Jeremy Greer:

out the rules and do all this stuff. And like, the goal of the

Jeremy Greer:

game is to track down the Ripper Jack, the Ripper. And like,

Jeremy Greer:

we're going through all this thing, and Autumn's dad at one

Jeremy Greer:

point, like, we have the Ripper quartered, and he just, like,

Jeremy Greer:

out of nowhere is like, ah, that's the house that the Ripper

Jeremy Greer:

does is ripping, like, just cracked us up. It's become like

Jeremy Greer:

a running joke with us, so to hear it in this shit was very,

Jeremy Greer:

very funny.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, that's so good. I love that. And this is

Marie Vigouroux:

also where like Will says that the Ripper wants to perform

Marie Vigouroux:

right, that, like every brutal choice has elegance grace, and

Marie Vigouroux:

that his mutilations hide the true nature of his crimes. And

Marie Vigouroux:

if that's not exactly what Bedelia said earlier in this

Marie Vigouroux:

episode, then I don't know what she said.

Jeremy Greer:

And of course, we get the great cut to Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

right after this, just immediately cut to Hannibal. Oh,

Jeremy Greer:

my God, this time he and Alana bloom are in the kitchen

Jeremy Greer:

preparing a meal. Um. And he's creating something called tomato

Jeremy Greer:

brains, which is what's invented by the chef that, like, invented

Jeremy Greer:

a lot of the dishes on the show where you basically, like, peel

Jeremy Greer:

tomatoes and like, make them into this, like, different kind

Jeremy Greer:

of dish, in an effort to, like, find the extraordinary and

Jeremy Greer:

ordinary objects, quote, unquote, which I thought was

Jeremy Greer:

just kind of interesting they are. This is just a flirty

Jeremy Greer:

little like date night. I guess I don't know what this is. This

Jeremy Greer:

is so flirty Hannibal has made -

Marie Vigouroux:

I think he described it perfectly. It's a

Marie Vigouroux:

flirty little date night.

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal has made a specific beer for Alana,

Jeremy Greer:

because she prefers beer over wine. He's aged beer in a wine

Jeremy Greer:

barrel and bottled it himself. It's her own private reserve at

Jeremy Greer:

his house, which is the most extra thing that you could

Jeremy Greer:

possibly do. Like, I don't know how many quote, unquote flirty

Jeremy Greer:

little dates they've been on, like, we saw them drinking

Jeremy Greer:

together, talking about Abigail a few episodes ago, but if this,

Jeremy Greer:

like, assume this is the first or second date, and I'm like,

Jeremy Greer:

got you a whole store of alcohol at my house, girl, it's a little

Jeremy Greer:

extra.

Marie Vigouroux:

That's a lot of effort. Like, that's a lot of

Marie Vigouroux:

effort,

Jeremy Greer:

so much.

Marie Vigouroux:

It makes me wonder about the nature of the

Marie Vigouroux:

relationship between Hannibal and Alana. And I think we get,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, a little bit more about that just later in the scene.

Marie Vigouroux:

But like, I was like, is he, like, is he interested in her

Marie Vigouroux:

that way? Like, it kind of sounds like it, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah. Because as they, as they continue to talk,

Jeremy Greer:

he asked, you know, are you avoiding, on purpose, the

Jeremy Greer:

subject of will Graham, and she's like, oh, yeah,

Jeremy Greer:

absolutely. Like, I don't want to know. She even says, I don't

Jeremy Greer:

want to know anything about will outside of our friendship,

Jeremy Greer:

right? Like, I don't, I don't want to know anything about him

Jeremy Greer:

that I couldn't learn just being his friend. And she talks about

Jeremy Greer:

working on the Ripper case, when around the time Miriam

Jeremy Greer:

disappeared, and I didn't quite get this at the time, I was

Jeremy Greer:

interviewing PhD candidates, and it's kind of implied he she was

Jeremy Greer:

doing it for him, but or maybe they're working in like, the

Jeremy Greer:

same facility or something, I don't know. And Hannibal just

Jeremy Greer:

looks at her in his flirty lit away as, like, those candidates

Jeremy Greer:

thought we were having an affair. Why didn't we, like

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal stop?

Marie Vigouroux:

I know, right, yeah, and it's interesting,

Marie Vigouroux:

because, like, so basically, if I understand correctly, like

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal sort of, like, manipulated the situation so

Marie Vigouroux:

that Alana would be away from Miriam when she was doing the

Marie Vigouroux:

digging into the Ripper Alana. Yeah, that's what I got from

Marie Vigouroux:

this conversation. I might be wrong again, just because I

Marie Vigouroux:

don't know the whole thing. But, like, it sort of seems like he

Marie Vigouroux:

wanted to keep Alana alive and didn't want her to be too mixed

Marie Vigouroux:

up in this whole Ripper thing. Yeah. And so like, why didn't we

Marie Vigouroux:

have an affair? Like, what an interesting question to ask

Marie Vigouroux:

someone

Jeremy Greer:

maybe the flirtiest thing I've ever heard

Jeremy Greer:

in my entire life. Like, they thought we were having an

Jeremy Greer:

affair, why didn't we, like, stop it, get out there.

Marie Vigouroux:

Tell me a lot. Didn't we have an affair?

Jeremy Greer:

This just went to rated X. How did that happen?

Jeremy Greer:

What are we doing,

Marie Vigouroux:

right? But so again, it's like, so what? I

Marie Vigouroux:

don't know. I don't I mean, personally, I don't love them

Marie Vigouroux:

together, but I clearly it's in the text, right? There's

Marie Vigouroux:

something that like they're kind of dancing around. I think him a

Marie Vigouroux:

lot more than her, but it's yeah, anyway,

Jeremy Greer:

she says that he and will have that in common.

Jeremy Greer:

And he says having affairs, which is perfectly she says, No,

Jeremy Greer:

flirtatiously, changing this subject. And you know, anytime

Jeremy Greer:

something gets maybe a little uncomfortable, and he says, or

Jeremy Greer:

maybe we just have you in common. Stop it. Stop it.

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal, stop it. I don't know what you're doing right now.

Jeremy Greer:

Please stop

Marie Vigouroux:

I mean, I know what he's doing right now. I

Marie Vigouroux:

have it in my notes. I'm like throuple?

Jeremy Greer:

and this conversation ends with Alana's

Jeremy Greer:

just saying, like, you know, she compares what Jack is doing to

Jeremy Greer:

will, the same thing that Jack did to Miriam, like, just being

Jeremy Greer:

so focused on catching the Ripper that he doesn't care

Jeremy Greer:

about their well being, and how she just wants everybody to

Jeremy Greer:

leave will alone, to let him, like, kind of live his life.

Jeremy Greer:

Live his life. I'm curious what you think overall, like,

Jeremy Greer:

obviously, we've kind of given your thoughts a little bit, but

Jeremy Greer:

just like in summation about a potential relationship between

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal and Alana, because obviously, we're like Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

and will like, we're pro we're on this side, but this is so

Jeremy Greer:

flirty, and so it doesn't feel out of character for Hannibal,

Jeremy Greer:

but it feels like almost out of perspective, like we just don't

Jeremy Greer:

expect this from him. And I'm curious how you feel about this

Jeremy Greer:

on the first watch.

Marie Vigouroux:

So I'm okay. This is a good question, because

Marie Vigouroux:

I haven't really reflected on it. So it's a good opportunity

Marie Vigouroux:

to do that. I sort of feel like there's like a love triangle

Marie Vigouroux:

that's happening between the three of them, where Alana is a

Marie Vigouroux:

lot more interested in will than in Hannibal. Hannibal is a lot

Marie Vigouroux:

more interested in will than in Alana. Will is just like

Marie Vigouroux:

clueless, because he's will Graham. But I think that

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal is trying to get close to Alana in order to get close

Marie Vigouroux:

to will as well, right? And so when it comes to Hannibal and

Marie Vigouroux:

Alana, I think she is kind of just like enjoying what's

Marie Vigouroux:

happening, just for what it is, which, you know, as as we know,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, they're not having an affair, but there's like,

Marie Vigouroux:

flirtatious this and that, and she's kind of like, oh, well,

Marie Vigouroux:

whatever. Like, this is fun. Why? Why stop it? Even though I

Marie Vigouroux:

don't think she's as interested in Hannibal as she is in will,

Marie Vigouroux:

where was I going with this?

Jeremy Greer:

No, I think, I think you're right. Yeah, I

Jeremy Greer:

think that, I think that all lines up is like, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

because it's probably very fun to be flirty with Hannibal, but

Jeremy Greer:

it's also probably also probably pretty intimidating, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Like, I could see, like, I want to be in his kitchen hanging out

Jeremy Greer:

and drinking his beer wine and making delicious food, but like,

Jeremy Greer:

I don't necessarily want to take him home to mom and dad. Like,

Jeremy Greer:

I'm a little that's a little intimidated.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, there you go. I think there's, there's

Marie Vigouroux:

that. And I think that Hannibal, like, is also, you know, Alana

Marie Vigouroux:

is pretty cool. She's able to tell that, like she's tasting

Marie Vigouroux:

oak in in the beer that he made her right, like, and I think

Marie Vigouroux:

that he's like, Okay, well, you know, she's not Will Graham, but

Marie Vigouroux:

she she'll do right, like she's,

Jeremy Greer:

she's okay, fine,

Marie Vigouroux:

she's okay, she's all right. She's not

Marie Vigouroux:

Bedelia. She's not like Will Graham, but like she's, she's

Marie Vigouroux:

cool, right? Like she comes to my dinner parties and eats my

Marie Vigouroux:

food. I'd be told me that I make good beer.

Jeremy Greer:

I'd be I'd be remiss, as a X Men podcaster to

Jeremy Greer:

not talk about how well this lines up with Cyclops gene and

Jeremy Greer:

Wolverine especially. And I don't know you, we may have

Jeremy Greer:

talked about this at one time, but like in the most recent

Jeremy Greer:

comics, like, there's one of those diagrams of the x mansion,

Jeremy Greer:

and it was revealed just recently, apparently, like

Jeremy Greer:

there's a door between cyclops and jeans and Wolverines room

Jeremy Greer:

now, like it's a connecting room. And I just yep, yep,

Jeremy Greer:

that's Hannibal will and Alana.

Marie Vigouroux:

Anyway. That's how I see it personally, like to

Marie Vigouroux:

me, that's, that's what this relationship is like. Yeah.

Jeremy Greer:

So as they talk about Jack, we switch to Jack.

Jeremy Greer:

He's back to walking alone in the morgue, which seems like a

Jeremy Greer:

real depressing way to get your steps in. But I'm not Jack

Jeremy Greer:

Crawford, so, but I have no judgment. He doesn't this time.

Jeremy Greer:

There's no phone ringing, but he decides to go over and check the

Jeremy Greer:

drawer anyway, and as he opens it up, it's empty, but behind

Jeremy Greer:

him on a morgue table, we see, Will Graham, the corpse of Will

Jeremy Greer:

Graham sit up and look at him? And we see his arm missing, just

Jeremy Greer:

like Miriam lasses. And we see, like the incision, the Y

Jeremy Greer:

incision from his autopsy. And as will disappears, like Jack

Jeremy Greer:

kind of comes to but he's already awake, like the last

Jeremy Greer:

time we saw this, this was a nightmare. Now he's literally

Jeremy Greer:

having this, this happen to him while he's awake and walking

Marie Vigouroux:

I mean, listen, Jack is having a real hard time,

Marie Vigouroux:

around.

Marie Vigouroux:

right? Like between his wife and this and Miriam Lass coming

Marie Vigouroux:

back, literally from the dead, and him worrying about will and

Marie Vigouroux:

like, seeing the similarities between Miriam and will, and I

Marie Vigouroux:

think, also realizing the error of his ways in so many ways.

Marie Vigouroux:

Like he's basically at the point where he's like, kind of, you

Marie Vigouroux:

know, in the last episode, where he was like, I know when I'm

Marie Vigouroux:

awake. Like, I he doesn't know when he's awake anymore. And,

Marie Vigouroux:

yeah, unraveling, I think, is what's going on here. Like, and

Marie Vigouroux:

is that what Hannibal does to people? Because, like, now we

Marie Vigouroux:

have will to who this is happening. Now we have Jack,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, who's next? Alana, like,

Jeremy Greer:

I don't know. Don't forget about a girl

Jeremy Greer:

Abigail, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Abigail!

Jeremy Greer:

she's briefly in this episode in a little while,

Jeremy Greer:

but like, this is exactly kind of the thing that he was doing

Jeremy Greer:

to Abigail, which is making her, like, hallucinate while she was

Jeremy Greer:

awake.

Marie Vigouroux:

I try to think, I try to not think too much

Marie Vigouroux:

about Abigail, but yes, that's right,

Jeremy Greer:

that's a good instinct. It's a good instinct.

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, it'll serve you well for this podcast and for the show. I

Jeremy Greer:

think we get to what's probably the highlight of this episode,

Jeremy Greer:

and maybe, maybe just in terms of, like, fun, maybe the

Jeremy Greer:

highlight of the season. For me, it's difficult for me to

Jeremy Greer:

remember exactly everything that happens in this season, so I

Jeremy Greer:

might change my mind. But like, this is such a just a

Jeremy Greer:

delightfully, like, debaucherous montage where we see, we see

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal pulling a business card, pulling out of his out of

Jeremy Greer:

his recipe book, a recipe card, and then going out and, like,

Jeremy Greer:

killing somebody, basically, and then bringing home the meat. And

Jeremy Greer:

this is set to a might need your help again le veau d'or, which

Jeremy Greer:

one is from fost. It's the meat gathering montage.

Marie Vigouroux:

Le Veau d'or

Jeremy Greer:

So this is an opera about mephysophthales

Jeremy Greer:

trying to tempt fast into hell. And I put this picture in here

Jeremy Greer:

because I was looking at this YouTube video. I was like, I

Jeremy Greer:

have to put this in the notes. This is crazy. The song that is

Jeremy Greer:

playing throughout all of this is Mephistopheles, like having

Jeremy Greer:

just basically beating the streets, like fucking with Faust

Jeremy Greer:

and Wagner and like some other people, and singing this

Jeremy Greer:

irreverent song about a giant golden calf. And if you look it

Jeremy Greer:

up on YouTube, like the opera made a giant golden calf is

Jeremy Greer:

huge. And I just, I just love this image, and I love the idea

Jeremy Greer:

of this, right? Like, obviously, this is the song itself. Is

Jeremy Greer:

like, we're getting everybody together to get drunk and

Jeremy Greer:

worship this. This, you know, pagan altar, basically. And this

Jeremy Greer:

is what Hannibal is doing, right? He's, he's gathering up

Jeremy Greer:

his meats, he's pulling in the harvest, and he's killing, like,

Jeremy Greer:

this is fun for him. This is the first time that the Ripper has

Jeremy Greer:

ripped, and truly, in two years, as he as he starts killing these

Jeremy Greer:

people and collecting their meat, and we see him, like,

Jeremy Greer:

package this meat very carefully and prepare it and put it in

Jeremy Greer:

little freezer bags and put it in his freezer. And it's, uh,

Jeremy Greer:

It's so delightful. What is in that pantry, what is in that

Jeremy Greer:

pantry, Hannibal,

Marie Vigouroux:

and it's, it's also like, you know, inspiration

Marie Vigouroux:

struck again. Which, which I find really interesting that it

Marie Vigouroux:

would strike in this moment, right, where he's like, both

Marie Vigouroux:

very in control of what's going on, right? He has his hands all

Marie Vigouroux:

over Jack Crawford, he has his hands all over Will Graham all

Marie Vigouroux:

over Alana bloom like, he seems to have everything very much in

Marie Vigouroux:

his control. And yet on his personal life, like there's

Marie Vigouroux:

also, there also seems to be a level of, like, longing for

Marie Vigouroux:

connection with other people. And so therefore, like, a loss

Marie Vigouroux:

of control, like he cannot control who he gets, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

emotionally intimate with. Let's put it that way, because the

Marie Vigouroux:

people that he would want to have those friendships with are

Marie Vigouroux:

basically like, yeah, I don't know. There has to be some kind

Marie Vigouroux:

of distance between us and and I just like that difference

Marie Vigouroux:

between, like, being in control and lacking control is just so

Marie Vigouroux:

delicious to me.

Jeremy Greer:

It's the question you asked earlier, which is,

Jeremy Greer:

like, what has he been doing for the last two years? I think is

Jeremy Greer:

really insightful, especially because we're seeing him be

Jeremy Greer:

inspired by this. And if we it's difficult to tell, like, how how

Jeremy Greer:

much time has passed since we've begun the show, since Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

has met Will, and they've started doing all of this. We

Jeremy Greer:

get the impression that it's several months, though, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Like, we get the impression that it's it's not just like this

Jeremy Greer:

hasn't all happened in a week, like this is all happening over

Jeremy Greer:

the course of months. And I would imagine, if we look at his

Jeremy Greer:

life, the only thing we really know about him is that he has

Jeremy Greer:

been that he has had this practice, and presumably he's

Jeremy Greer:

been working with patients like Franklin, and we see him be

Jeremy Greer:

incredibly bored, and, you know, getting no inspiration

Jeremy Greer:

whatsoever from Franklin. So being pulled into this meeting

Jeremy Greer:

Will Graham having, establishing a new, closer working

Jeremy Greer:

relationship with Alana, having this connection to Jack

Jeremy Greer:

Crawford, having this child murderer baby in Abigail like

Jeremy Greer:

obviously, probably did inspire him, right like this. These are

Jeremy Greer:

the things that he lives for. And it's interesting that you

Jeremy Greer:

said that he's in control of all this, because this, to me, feels

Jeremy Greer:

like him just creating chaos, of just even though he's like a

Jeremy Greer:

controlled form of chaos, but he's pushing all of these

Jeremy Greer:

buttons, not necessarily knowing where they'll go, like, having a

Jeremy Greer:

good idea, but not knowing exactly what will happen, just

Jeremy Greer:

causing all of this chaos around them and being like, all right,

Jeremy Greer:

all of this is established. Like, time to throw a feast.

Jeremy Greer:

Like, let's go. I'm ready. It's so good. It's just so so good.

Marie Vigouroux:

I love that. Actually, yeah,

Jeremy Greer:

we get some comedy beats too. Because after, after

Jeremy Greer:

this montage, we go to the morgue, where there's now four

Jeremy Greer:

bodies. Hannibal has killed the Ripper has killed his three.

Jeremy Greer:

They talk about the organs being removed one cause, like a spleen

Jeremy Greer:

Who the heck needs a spleen transplant? Still thinking, this

Jeremy Greer:

is organ harvesters, and it would just cuts immediately to

Jeremy Greer:

like, a blender, like, chopping up a bunch of pink slush. Like,

Jeremy Greer:

just so good.

Marie Vigouroux:

It's so funny. It is so funny. Like, it's very

Marie Vigouroux:

dark humor, but it is so funny. And I love it.

Jeremy Greer:

It's a It's what my friend Gary calls a rough

Jeremy Greer:

chuckle. And I just, it's just a real rough chuckle,

Marie Vigouroux:

very true.

Jeremy Greer:

They talk about one of the people missing part

Jeremy Greer:

of their intestine. And it's like, you know, either we're

Jeremy Greer:

looking for a person with a short intestine, or, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

the Ripper is making sausage, and then we see the Ripper

Jeremy Greer:

literally making sausage. It was everything. Was it the last

Jeremy Greer:

episode, I think that you mentioned sausage making or

Jeremy Greer:

something. I can't remember

Marie Vigouroux:

something about like, how we don't we don't want

Marie Vigouroux:

to see, like, we don't want to see how the sausage is made up.

Marie Vigouroux:

Today, we literally see how the sausage is made. And I think I

Marie Vigouroux:

DM do that. I was like, I can't believe that I said that will

Marie Vigouroux:

have people screaming, for sure.

Jeremy Greer:

I was, I was using, you know, stuff like

Jeremy Greer:

that, for the video that we made. So I, like, knew that was

Jeremy Greer:

coming, and I've just been waiting. So it's just been

Jeremy Greer:

really, I do a lot of waiting for you to find out things on

Jeremy Greer:

this podcast. Will still thinks That there's two killers, that

Jeremy Greer:

at least one is the ripper,

Marie Vigouroux:

and Jack is really not happy about that.

Jeremy Greer:

From here, we go back to Hannibal's office, where

Jeremy Greer:

Franklin has arrived for his next appointment. And Franklin

Jeremy Greer:

is very excited, because he has spotted Hannibal shopping for

Jeremy Greer:

cheese at the local cheesery. He says he's a he's a super he says

Jeremy Greer:

cheese is my passion. He asked if Hannibal has ever heard of

Jeremy Greer:

tyromancy, which is the divinization of cheese, which I

Jeremy Greer:

believe was a real thing. When I looked it up on Google,

Marie Vigouroux:

I know, right? I had to look it up. I was like,

Marie Vigouroux:

What is this?

Jeremy Greer:

What is this? And how do I get involved? Frankly,

Marie Vigouroux:

so, okay, so just just again, like not

Marie Vigouroux:

knowing what's going to happen, but seeing the way that things

Marie Vigouroux:

are moving with with Franklin and Hannibal, and knowing that

Marie Vigouroux:

there's an episode called fromage later, which is French

Marie Vigouroux:

for cheese, I'm like, he's gonna eat Franklin. Like he's gonna

Marie Vigouroux:

eat Franklin poor baby Franklin,

Jeremy Greer:

poor, poor Franklin, he's obviously trying

Jeremy Greer:

to make this connection with Hannibal. He's spotted Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

at like, the best dairy place in Baltimore, or whatever. And

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal just has this, like, kind of throwaway line of, it's

Jeremy Greer:

a very small town. And he says, as much as he loves cheese,

Jeremy Greer:

Tobias doesn't eat dairy. And when Hannibal says, Do you

Jeremy Greer:

desire tobias Sexually franklin, gets very defensive. And it's

Jeremy Greer:

like, you know, Oh no, it's not like that at all. Like, don't

Jeremy Greer:

get me wrong, I was in a fraternity, I did things but

Jeremy Greer:

like, it's not my it's not my brand. And I'm like, what does

Jeremy Greer:

that fucking mean, man? Like, what do you

Marie Vigouroux:

I I mean, listen, I have so many

Marie Vigouroux:

questions, although, like, anyway, many that I don't want

Marie Vigouroux:

answers. But yeah, this was really surprising to me, that he

Marie Vigouroux:

was, like, not actually in a relationship with Tobias, or

Marie Vigouroux:

maybe he's just, like, not just denying it, even though that's

Marie Vigouroux:

what may be happening. I'm not, I'm not entirely sure what's

Marie Vigouroux:

going on there.

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, it could even be, and this is just

Jeremy Greer:

speculation. I don't, I don't actually know or remember

Jeremy Greer:

exactly, but it could be like, Franklin has tried, right, and

Jeremy Greer:

Tobias shut him down. So now it's now it's like, oh no, no,

Jeremy Greer:

this. I don't even that's not my thing. And Hannibal, I think,

Jeremy Greer:

picks up on a little bit of this, because he says, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

Tobias is your best friend, but you're not his best friend. I'm

Jeremy Greer:

like, ouch. Please don't ever say that about me, about

Jeremy Greer:

anybody. So anybody. It's such a it's such a harsh thing to hear.

Marie Vigouroux:

It is and and the body language really changes

Marie Vigouroux:

in this moment. Like the whole scene, it's, it's so telling

Marie Vigouroux:

what happens, right? Like, at first, like you said, Franklin

Marie Vigouroux:

is like, sit on the edge of his seat. Like, he's so excited to

Marie Vigouroux:

be, like, talking to Hannibal about cheese. And he's even,

Marie Vigouroux:

like touching Hannibal's leg at one point, like, to his great

Marie Vigouroux:

displeasure, to be honest. And as someone who does not like to

Marie Vigouroux:

be touched casually like that, I totally get it. Like, Get your

Marie Vigouroux:

hands off of me, right? And then, like, he gets really

Marie Vigouroux:

defensive about Tobias. Like, he bolts back, like, right back

Marie Vigouroux:

into his seat, and he crosses his legs immediately, and he's

Marie Vigouroux:

trying to put, like, as much distance between him and

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal as possible. And again, like, it's like, but you were

Marie Vigouroux:

so, like, I thought that you fancied Hannibal Right? Like, I

Marie Vigouroux:

can't anyway. And throughout the exchange, like, Hannibal is

Marie Vigouroux:

sitting back with his legs crossed, like his hands, like

Marie Vigouroux:

holding on to one another. So again, like, there's this idea

Marie Vigouroux:

of, like distance and like crossing away this person, like

Marie Vigouroux:

that he finds so vulgar, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Absolutely. my, um, my oncologist, I guess,

Jeremy Greer:

because he's used to, like having very serious

Jeremy Greer:

conversations with people. Like, I'll be sitting in the chair

Jeremy Greer:

when I go to, you know, have an appointment with him, and he's

Jeremy Greer:

on one of those little rolly, round Dr stool things, and he

Jeremy Greer:

gets so close to me that, like, if my like, if I'm sitting down,

Jeremy Greer:

and my legs are like, apart from one another, right? Like, if

Jeremy Greer:

I'm, if I'm doing the man spread thing, like, His leg is like up

Jeremy Greer:

his knee is like, up to my thigh. And I'm like, I my dude,

Jeremy Greer:

I need you to, like, use this maybe, like, and I've gotten to

Jeremy Greer:

the point where, like, I'm like, kind of sitting to the side a

Jeremy Greer:

little bit with, like, my knees, like touching one another, just

Jeremy Greer:

to, like, maybe not get that level of intimacy. And I think

Jeremy Greer:

he's just doing it to be like, I'm talking to you seriously

Jeremy Greer:

about a serious thing. And I'm like, we you are, but you're

Jeremy Greer:

also, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

in my bubble,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, we're about to find only, there's only one

Jeremy Greer:

bed at the hospital, man. Well, come on, we gotta, we gotta get.

Jeremy Greer:

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Doctor,

Marie Vigouroux:

one bed in this hospital.

Jeremy Greer:

It's only one bed in the hospital. I'm sorry, and

Jeremy Greer:

I'd have to spend the night with you, Jeremy, to make sure that

Jeremy Greer:

you're okay.

Marie Vigouroux:

okay. I'm sorry

Jeremy Greer:

Between this and the tell me, Dean, like we were

Jeremy Greer:

just inventing fanfic for the people out there.

Marie Vigouroux:

Listen, maybe inspiration will strike for all

Marie Vigouroux:

of these fanfic writers

Jeremy Greer:

can't wait.

Marie Vigouroux:

Okay. let's side step that

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah

Jeremy Greer:

Franklin continues to talk. He says that he's not

Jeremy Greer:

necessarily. He says he's not worried about being alone, but

Jeremy Greer:

he describes being alone as a dull ache in the stomach, and he

Jeremy Greer:

doesn't want to hurt. He's more worried about being hurt. And I

Jeremy Greer:

find that fascinating to to relay, like, this feeling of

Jeremy Greer:

loneliness into a feeling in your gut and not wanting to feel

Jeremy Greer:

the pain of that, as opposed to, like, again, Franklin distancing

Jeremy Greer:

himself and creating this outside, outside persona of

Jeremy Greer:

himself to try to impress the people around him, just like

Jeremy Greer:

Four years ago me at the dinner table laughing

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal is doing, but obviously doing a much better job, a much

Jeremy Greer:

worse job. Excuse me, and I love this cut too, because he

Jeremy Greer:

describes that he doesn't want to be hurt. And then we cut to

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal, who opens the door fully expecting will to be

Jeremy Greer:

there. And he goes through all of the emotions that anybody has

Jeremy Greer:

ever gone through that has been stood up on a date before, like

Jeremy Greer:

double checking the watch, straightening things that don't

Jeremy Greer:

need to be straightened. He's double checking his like

Jeremy Greer:

appointment calendar, and he's just, he looks so sad. And I

Jeremy Greer:

know this is so off topic, and I apologize about this, but again,

Jeremy Greer:

I was going down the rabbit hole on the music stuff this morning.

Jeremy Greer:

alone in the candlelight of day 100 of quarantine.

Jeremy Greer:

I mentioned earlier, this was Chopin and I was Chopin, and I

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh,

Jeremy Greer:

and that's four years ago, so that was during

Jeremy Greer:

was wrong. This is Requiem in D minor, K 626, lacrymosa by

Jeremy Greer:

quarantine two years ago from psycho Hall. This one's a little

Jeremy Greer:

bit longer, so I apologize when the antagonist has nothing left

Jeremy Greer:

Mozart's. And there's nothing, I didn't find any like specific

Jeremy Greer:

to lose and has already stained his hands with blood, he drinks

Jeremy Greer:

a glass of wine while a candle is lit on a large table and open

Jeremy Greer:

things. Like, there's a couple of things about like, this, the

Jeremy Greer:

space with a crystal sheet elegantly, he slices through the

Jeremy Greer:

song, this, this music, like creating longing. But I'm gonna,

Jeremy Greer:

steak, closing his eyes and savoring every ounce of taste

Jeremy Greer:

while laughing hysterically and crying at the same time and

Jeremy Greer:

I need to put a marker in, because I'm gonna put in the

Jeremy Greer:

saying, yes, it's so good. Yes, he gluttonously savors his meal

Jeremy Greer:

track. Everybody's gonna recognize the track when I put

Jeremy Greer:

with impeccable haste, and finally, inhales and exhales

Jeremy Greer:

gently. Afterward, he wipes his mouth with a white handkerchief

Jeremy Greer:

it in. And I just want to read you some of the YouTube

Jeremy Greer:

with grace and is seen exiting the room while a bright light

Jeremy Greer:

blinds the audience as if he completely and freely accepting

Jeremy Greer:

comments, if you don't, if you don't mind, please. It's been

Jeremy Greer:

this ineffable fate death. Just how are you going so hard

Jeremy Greer:

231 years since this song was written, and it's still fire.

Jeremy Greer:

YouTube commenters, that's crazy. This is insane, but it

Jeremy Greer:

was so handful.

Marie Vigouroux:

Are you sure you're reading from reading from

Marie Vigouroux:

YouTube and not AO3?

Jeremy Greer:

and like, every response to that was like, You

Jeremy Greer:

should put this on. Are you a writer? Like it was crazy, but

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, this song is so, like, it's so moody. It reminds me of,

Jeremy Greer:

like the Vampire Lestat, like playing the piano for Listen for

Jeremy Greer:

Louis in the movie. It's yeah, just anyway. I just sorry. I

Jeremy Greer:

know I'm taking this on very long to answer this episode, and

Jeremy Greer:

I apologize.

Marie Vigouroux:

No, I mean, I think, I think, but I think it

Marie Vigouroux:

fits right. Like, that's exactly what's going on with Hannibal

Marie Vigouroux:

here. And, like, I said, like, Hannibal makes allowances for

Marie Vigouroux:

for will that he doesn't for other people, because, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

standing somebody up is rude, right? And I think that if this

Marie Vigouroux:

was anybody else, Hannibal would probably be asking for their

Marie Vigouroux:

business card at this point. But for will, you know, like, you

Marie Vigouroux:

know, and cut to will,

Jeremy Greer:

like, yeah, we cut to will, who is dreaming. He is

Jeremy Greer:

sitting across the body that we saw in the first episode that

Jeremy Greer:

was mounted on the antlers that we think that the Ripper was

Jeremy Greer:

doing, the copycat of Jacob Hobbs and Abigail is saying, is

Jeremy Greer:

so much better with just the two of us. And then as we hear

Jeremy Greer:

someone calling for will, she says, Dad, Dad, there's someone

Jeremy Greer:

else here. We haven't really been talking about Abigail a

Jeremy Greer:

whole lot. I keep bringing her up, but like, the show, hasn't

Jeremy Greer:

been really referring to her very much. And again, think this

Jeremy Greer:

is just like reminding us, oh, hey, this chick exists. And she

Jeremy Greer:

you guys are kind of setting you up at setting yourselves up as

Jeremy Greer:

her father, especially, Will, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

I also, anyway, I didn't spend too much time on

Marie Vigouroux:

that, but I was trying to figure out, like, who was the body on

Marie Vigouroux:

the antlers? And I was like, is that mads? Is that Hannibal?

Marie Vigouroux:

Like, I wasn't sure, but I yeah, I don't know.

Jeremy Greer:

I used that as a part of the video, so I should

Jeremy Greer:

probably know. But I wasn't paying attention. I just assumed

Jeremy Greer:

it was, you know, dead girl number three in the credits, or

Jeremy Greer:

whatever.

Marie Vigouroux:

Or maybe I believe it's a man because,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, there's, or anyway, like, I don't know, but it's, um,

Marie Vigouroux:

there's, there's somebody on the antlers. And I was trying to

Marie Vigouroux:

figure out if it was Garrett Jacob Hobbs. But I was like,

Marie Vigouroux:

that looks like Mads. And I so, I don't know. I don't know.

Jeremy Greer:

We'll have to - listeners. You guys know better

Jeremy Greer:

than we do. You're gonna, you're gonna. To go tell us what's

Jeremy Greer:

please tell us we don't know.

Marie Vigouroux:

We're very confused,

Jeremy Greer:

very confused. Will fell asleep, sort of, he

Jeremy Greer:

was just sitting there with his eyes open, not being present.

Jeremy Greer:

And as Hannibal arrives to his office to try to figure out,

Jeremy Greer:

like, hey, where the fuck are you and why aren't you at my

Jeremy Greer:

house, he used to find my iPhone on Will was like, why are you

Jeremy Greer:

still at work? We should be hanging out.

Marie Vigouroux:

It's like, why are you still at work? Right?

Marie Vigouroux:

He's like, that, you know, calling him like, when are you

Marie Vigouroux:

gonna be home? Exactly,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, like you told me you would be home by

Jeremy Greer:

eight, and you're not like, what is going on right now?

Marie Vigouroux:

All I can see right now is, like, these

Marie Vigouroux:

cartoon characters of like Hannibal, just like, angrily

Marie Vigouroux:

walking in, like, to Will's office, like picking him up and

Marie Vigouroux:

just taking him home and sitting him down, giving him a glass of

Marie Vigouroux:

wine or something. Like, he's like, you're supposed to be home

Marie Vigouroux:

right now,

Jeremy Greer:

which absolutely exists on Tumblr. Like, you

Jeremy Greer:

could definitely find that. will says that he should stop

Jeremy Greer:

sleeping altogether, and it's the best way to avoid bad

Jeremy Greer:

dreams. And Hannibal looks over and says, Well, I can see what's

Jeremy Greer:

causing you bad dreams on Hannibal on Will's desk is just

Jeremy Greer:

a bunch of picture of the rippers kills. And you could

Jeremy Greer:

just see the delight in Hannibal as he gets to look at his work

Jeremy Greer:

with his bestie, with his with his little boyfriend, and gets

Jeremy Greer:

to talk about it, even in like, a separated way, like, you could

Jeremy Greer:

just tell that he's excited about this. And will even

Jeremy Greer:

invites him. He's like, like, tell me what you see, doctor.

Jeremy Greer:

And they discuss, the rippers kills. And he says, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

these are the rippers enemies. And Will says, these aren't the

Jeremy Greer:

rippers enemies. They are pest these - He dissected them to

Jeremy Greer:

disgrace them as a public shaming. And Hannibal looks up,

Jeremy Greer:

and he's like, Oh my God, this man sees me. This is, I am, holy

Jeremy Greer:

shit. This man sees me, maybe a little bit more than I was

Jeremy Greer:

originally anticipating. Like, this is, this is a little much.

Marie Vigouroux:

He's like that's So hot. I love that.

Marie Vigouroux:

Please know me, Will.

Jeremy Greer:

But he can't resist. And he says he takes the

Jeremy Greer:

organs away, because in his mind, they don't deserve them.

Jeremy Greer:

And Will says yes. And then, like, you could tell, like, this

Jeremy Greer:

is a moment for will, who's like, oh, like, it just

Jeremy Greer:

illuminates something in his brain about the ripper. And it's

Jeremy Greer:

so good, like, again, and it's that Hannibal is unable to

Jeremy Greer:

resist, like, this is him, like, peeking past that human veil

Jeremy Greer:

right, to move it over a little bit. And it's so good,

Marie Vigouroux:

exactly. It's like, it's the desire, I saw it

Marie Vigouroux:

also like, as the desire to connect to the one person that

Marie Vigouroux:

he knows is able to understand him, like, like that

Marie Vigouroux:

conversation with Bedelia and Franklin, like they've really

Marie Vigouroux:

had an effect on him. And he's like, he doesn't want to be

Marie Vigouroux:

alone and to feel that dull ache inside of him, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Poor, poor Hannibal, poor cannibal.

Marie Vigouroux:

I know! Am I affording him, like too much

Marie Vigouroux:

humanity? I don't know.

Jeremy Greer:

And then Hannibal pulls out a picture of Miriam

Jeremy Greer:

lass' arm, and this conversation is just so fucking hilarious and

Jeremy Greer:

great. You know, Hannibal basically just is like, what's

Jeremy Greer:

this? And he's, will tells him, and Hannibal's like, well, it

Jeremy Greer:

looks like he was trying to humiliate someone. I think will

Jeremy Greer:

says he this doesn't fit, because he wasn't trying to

Jeremy Greer:

humiliate Miriam lass. We didn't see her on display. And he says

Jeremy Greer:

he was humiliating someone. And will points out he was

Jeremy Greer:

humiliating Jack. And will just looks indirectly, like, did it

Jeremy Greer:

work? And I'm like, Excuse me, my friend, well, you cannot

Jeremy Greer:

just, you can't just ask that. Like, that's impossible. Oh my

Jeremy Greer:

god, did it work? Oh my god.

Marie Vigouroux:

So like, again, like it's Hannibal is like,

Marie Vigouroux:

toeing that line between like the normal human person, like

Marie Vigouroux:

the well tailored human suit, and like his true nature, and

Marie Vigouroux:

like the performance of one, like tipping into the other,

Marie Vigouroux:

like it's just, it's a lot,

Jeremy Greer:

it's a lot. Meanwhile, Beverly has done some

Jeremy Greer:

some science work, I guess she's been looking for what she called

Jeremy Greer:

the kill truck for their organ harvester, and they found, like,

Jeremy Greer:

some video of a private ambulance leaving the crime

Jeremy Greer:

scene, which is a little unusual because it left empty. And then

Jeremy Greer:

they tracked the ambulance down. Well, they decided to go get

Jeremy Greer:

will because this is, this is a hot lead. And of course,

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal is still in Will's office, and Jack asked, Would

Jeremy Greer:

you care to help us catch the Ripper? And Hannibal just his

Jeremy Greer:

eyes light up. It's like, Oh, of course I would absolutely

Marie Vigouroux:

How could I refuse?

Jeremy Greer:

And then we go and meet, like, the ambulance

Jeremy Greer:

company manager, who says, like, oh, this was checked in, but it

Jeremy Greer:

turns out the ambulance is not there. And Beverly is like,

Jeremy Greer:

Science, Science, Science. I know how to track it down. And

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal is like, watching all of this, and he just looks at

Jeremy Greer:

will. And this is maybe one of my favorite lines of the show

Jeremy Greer:

where he just looks at will says, This is all very

Jeremy Greer:

educational. And I'm just it's so like, this is we've seen

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal be close to, like, he's been at the crime scene before,

Jeremy Greer:

right? Like, with with will and Abigail and all that went down.

Jeremy Greer:

But like, this is him, like, on the trail of a killer, probably

Jeremy Greer:

for the first time, like, seeing how they operate, like, as if he

Jeremy Greer:

was one of them. And just this is very educational. It's such a

Jeremy Greer:

good like, just understated, hilarious line, like, again, who

Jeremy Greer:

is he performing for? Who's the joke for? If not for me, like,

Jeremy Greer:

it's like he's looking out of the world and seeing a stage

Jeremy Greer:

that nobody else sees, right, like he's looking he's looking

Jeremy Greer:

at an audience that nobody else sees. And I love this so much.

Marie Vigouroux:

I completely agree with you. Like this is, I

Marie Vigouroux:

think I DM you like Hannibal saying this is very educational,

Marie Vigouroux:

when looking at, like, how certain things work, like, in

Marie Vigouroux:

law enforcement is absolutely scary, right? Like, it's

Marie Vigouroux:

absolutely terrifying. And then, like, on second watch, I I kind

Marie Vigouroux:

of realized that, like, ironically, I think that this

Marie Vigouroux:

whole episode is sort of meant to get the audience to relate to

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal, right, like, particularly, to relate to like

Marie Vigouroux:

his loneliness, to his isolation, like to his constant

Marie Vigouroux:

like, masking and hiding of who he is. And so even though we

Marie Vigouroux:

literally see him like cooking human beings, we also see him

Marie Vigouroux:

like being moved by music, being like annoyed that someone likes

Marie Vigouroux:

him who he doesn't like back, being happy when he finds out

Marie Vigouroux:

that he got revenge on somebody who tried to stop him. We see

Marie Vigouroux:

him like being sad that the boy he likes doesn't seem to like

Marie Vigouroux:

him back and and we see him being funny and again, like, I

Marie Vigouroux:

knew that this was coming, but like, I love this character,

Marie Vigouroux:

Jeremy, what is happening to me?

Jeremy Greer:

so good. This is, I mean, you just love to hate

Jeremy Greer:

this man like you and you hate to love this man like it's just

Jeremy Greer:

so impossible. It's such that's what I think makes the show so

Jeremy Greer:

great. Is like, just this fictional character who is so

Jeremy Greer:

incredibly awful, and just continue, continuously compels

Jeremy Greer:

you to like him, like you get caught in his web. And that's

Jeremy Greer:

one thing that the great portrayals of Hannibal Lecter

Jeremy Greer:

that we've seen throughout the years, Anthony Hopkins and the

Jeremy Greer:

original Silence of the Lambs and Mads Mikkelsen now that's

Jeremy Greer:

what they do very well, is they give this, like, otherwordly

Jeremy Greer:

being a human persona and, like, pull you into it. And it's just,

Jeremy Greer:

it's just very, very good. So we have to do crime stuff. They

Jeremy Greer:

found the ambulance. They've tracked it down. They find this

Jeremy Greer:

man, wrist deep into his victim trying to steal some organs. He

Jeremy Greer:

can't lift up his arms as Jack orders him to do. Jack's carried

Jeremy Greer:

around a shotgun because, apparently he's an action movie

Jeremy Greer:

superstar. They call Hannibal over and Hannibal says he was

Jeremy Greer:

removing his kidney poorly. And I'm like, Damn dude got him.

Marie Vigouroux:

Did you see how like, the guy, like, the killer,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, looks up at him, like he's so mad. He's like, what?

Jeremy Greer:

There was a, there was a line about him, like, the

Jeremy Greer:

killer, like, taking his MCAT or whatever. Like, he was trying to

Jeremy Greer:

be a doctor. This dude just totally fucking dismissed his

Jeremy Greer:

technique. It's very funny to me.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah I love that. He's like, it because,

Marie Vigouroux:

because, to Hannibal, like, what's what's really upsetting

Marie Vigouroux:

isn't so much that he's removing the kidney, right? It's that

Marie Vigouroux:

he's doing it poorly. He's like, that is so offensive,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, of course, yeah. It's not, it's not the

Jeremy Greer:

removal of the kidney. It's the it's the actual it's the

Jeremy Greer:

technique involved.

Marie Vigouroux:

Exactly.

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal takes over the surgery as as they

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, I did. I did because I thought about it,

Marie Vigouroux:

arrest the killer throughout all of this. Patria operasa, from

Marie Vigouroux:

Macbeth is playing from Giuseppe Verdi. And I tried to find, I

Marie Vigouroux:

don't know if you ever tried to look through read a plot of an

Marie Vigouroux:

opera before it's it's a it's a lot, it's a lot of proper nouns

Marie Vigouroux:

that you have to figure out. And I couldn't really find any

Marie Vigouroux:

connecting piece to this. And I think they just picked it

Marie Vigouroux:

because it sounds cool, because it does sound extremely,

Marie Vigouroux:

extremely cool. So this just sounds good. I just wanted to

Marie Vigouroux:

mention it, since I've mentioned every other piece of music,

Marie Vigouroux:

mainly because I think this is the first episode that has used

Marie Vigouroux:

any kind of non original music in it, whatsoever. So I thought

Marie Vigouroux:

that was kind of, that's, that's the reason to take taking a deep

Marie Vigouroux:

dive down here. They as this happens, Jack moves to the side

Marie Vigouroux:

of the ambulance, and everybody kind of follows him to collect

Marie Vigouroux:

this murderer. Will is left alone looking inside the

Marie Vigouroux:

ambulance and watching Hannibal work. And as the music kind of

Marie Vigouroux:

swells we we see will observing maybe a little bit more than he

Marie Vigouroux:

usually does. And I put the question in my note, like, does

Marie Vigouroux:

he realize something, and that question was directed at you,

Marie Vigouroux:

Mary, I don't know if you realize

Marie Vigouroux:

and I have some notes about my answers and and the reality is

Marie Vigouroux:

that I'm of two minds here, because one maybe is just like

Marie Vigouroux:

us, maybe, maybe he is just like us, and he just thought that

Marie Vigouroux:

this was incredibly hot. So that's one option, because I'm

Marie Vigouroux:

definitely sitting, like, square right there, or two, he's, he's

Marie Vigouroux:

like, starting to see the outline of a pattern that he's

Marie Vigouroux:

not quite recognizing yet, right? Like we talk about

Marie Vigouroux:

autistic people as being excellent at pattern

Marie Vigouroux:

recognition, and I think that will is particularly good at

Marie Vigouroux:

that, recognizing patterns. And I think that in this moment, he

Marie Vigouroux:

kind of sees something, but he's not quite able to tell what it

Marie Vigouroux:

is yet, maybe a little bit like Bedelia about how she says,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, you know, I see that this isn't you, but, you know, I see

Marie Vigouroux:

the suit, but I don't know what's underneath. Like, I feel

Marie Vigouroux:

like maybe will got a peek behind the veil there, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

But he doesn't quite know what he just saw.

Jeremy Greer:

Maybe he got a peek of the veil, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Like, of the veil? Maybe, yeah,

Jeremy Greer:

maybe, maybe he is realizing, for the first time,

Jeremy Greer:

as bedilla had to do at some point, that he's has not been

Jeremy Greer:

talking to the real Hannibal, that there could be something

Jeremy Greer:

more there that he actually sees, like you said, see the

Jeremy Greer:

outline of this person suit see the outline of this veil around

Jeremy Greer:

them or something? And who knows? We don't know. There's no

Jeremy Greer:

way to possibly know the answer to that question, until two

Jeremy Greer:

weeks from now, when you listen to Rude Eats #8

Marie Vigouroux:

we're gonna find out, really, oh, my god,

Marie Vigouroux:

okay, okay,

Jeremy Greer:

I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say, like

Jeremy Greer:

the whole show is kind of about will looking at Hannibal and

Jeremy Greer:

going, huh,

Marie Vigouroux:

I think that that kind of creates, like, an

Marie Vigouroux:

interest, and I'm gonna get to that when we get to the next

Marie Vigouroux:

scene. But like, I think that this kind of creates a an

Marie Vigouroux:

interest in will of Hannibal, right? That he was he, because I

Marie Vigouroux:

think in the first episode, he says, like, I don't find you

Marie Vigouroux:

particularly interesting. And then Hannibal says, like, you

Marie Vigouroux:

will,

Jeremy Greer:

yes, yes.

Marie Vigouroux:

And I think that this is where Will is

Marie Vigouroux:

starting to find him interesting.

Jeremy Greer:

It's fascinating. It's fascinating. I wish I

Jeremy Greer:

could. I'm glad I can't. I'm glad I can't. Let me just say

Jeremy Greer:

that it's just fascinating. We will, we will continue to talk,

Jeremy Greer:

do this podcast until there's no more talking about Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

anymore. We go from here to Hannibal's kitchen. He's brought

Jeremy Greer:

in a team of help help us to help him prepare this meal. This

Jeremy Greer:

is the night of his feast, and he is, he's, he's enjoying

Jeremy Greer:

himself. We see him like sauteing meats. We see him

Jeremy Greer:

drinking wine. He tells will who he realizes in the room that

Jeremy Greer:

he's he has a butcher that can get him sow's blood, which he

Jeremy Greer:

blends and uses to create a a transparent liquid that he can

Jeremy Greer:

suspend fruit in for a for a very sweet treat at the end of

Jeremy Greer:

the meal. This is why, when you said that this episode was

Jeremy Greer:

fruity, I was like, sometimes quite literally, like, he's, you

Jeremy Greer:

know, literally serving sweet treats at the end of this made

Jeremy Greer:

with fruit. Will is there, not dressed for a dinner party, but

Jeremy Greer:

with a bottle of wine, which even looks weird, just holding a

Jeremy Greer:

bottle of wine. It's so strange. And he says he's not coming, but

Jeremy Greer:

he does say that Hannibal saved the this guy, the guy's life.

Jeremy Greer:

Like, if it wasn't for him, the guy that the being operated on,

Jeremy Greer:

wouldn't have survived. And Will says, you know, I forgot that

Jeremy Greer:

you were surgeon. Why did you why did you quit? And Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

says, and I think I actually spoiled this for you last

Jeremy Greer:

episode. So apologies, but he quit because he lost a patient.

Jeremy Greer:

He lost a patient which will says, like, oh, you know, that

Jeremy Greer:

had to happen all the time. He's like, Well, it happened one too

Jeremy Greer:

many times. So he changed his passion from anatomy to the

Jeremy Greer:

culinary arts, and he started becoming a psychiatrist. And he

Jeremy Greer:

says, no one has died for my therapy.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yet

Jeremy Greer:

yet. But also, like, we don't know, like, we

Jeremy Greer:

don't know about these victims. And like, one of the things that

Jeremy Greer:

they were trying to Miriam was tracking down was, like his

Jeremy Greer:

relationship with his patients, right? Like, that was one of the

Jeremy Greer:

things that we're looking at. So who knows? Maybe other people

Jeremy Greer:

have died so well, yeah, so,

Marie Vigouroux:

yes, who knows? That's right, I think so. Again,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, I think Franklin is in danger, like he is in critical

Marie Vigouroux:

danger right now, like, to be served as fromage, like that is

Marie Vigouroux:

what I think might be happening. But I also think that, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

Hannibal is also so good at, like, telling these half truths,

Marie Vigouroux:

right? So I I wrote in my notes, like, I need to know more about

Marie Vigouroux:

this, because, like, I'm sure that there's, like, a part of

Marie Vigouroux:

truth here. So I think that maybe no one has died. That was

Marie Vigouroux:

his therapy patient, right? But there's also definitely

Marie Vigouroux:

something behind the veil. So, like, people have probably died

Marie Vigouroux:

from other things than his therapy, right? So, like, I Yes,

Marie Vigouroux:

there you go. So so good

Jeremy Greer:

will says that he's not going to be able to

Jeremy Greer:

attend a dinner because he has a quote, unquote date with the

Jeremy Greer:

Ripper, who obviously was not the organ harvester. And

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal says Jack must be devastated, because he lost his

Jeremy Greer:

opportunity to, you know, catch the Ripper. Your note in here is

Jeremy Greer:

incredible. And I want you to talk about, I just read it, and

Jeremy Greer:

I was like, What the fuck, what is this? Because I don't, I know

Jeremy Greer:

AO3, but I don't like, spend a lot of time on ao three, so I've

Jeremy Greer:

never seen this tag before. I'm just fascinated.

Marie Vigouroux:

Okay, so, like, I wrote that like, so, because

Marie Vigouroux:

your last note is like, Jack must be devastated. And I'm

Marie Vigouroux:

like, Hannibal is devastated here because, like, will

Marie Vigouroux:

basically has a date with him, but he doesn't know that it's

Marie Vigouroux:

him. And I'm like, this would be tagged as a two person love

Marie Vigouroux:

triangle.

Jeremy Greer:

I love it. I love it. Absolutely. We adore this.

Jeremy Greer:

So fun.

Marie Vigouroux:

Think of like, You've got mail. That's a two

Marie Vigouroux:

person love triangle. Okay,

Jeremy Greer:

all right, yeah, I'm with you. Okay, okay, cool,

Jeremy Greer:

cool, cool. So

Marie Vigouroux:

that's, that's what's going on, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Literally, where, like, the Ripper is Hannibal, but will

Marie Vigouroux:

doesn't know that the Ripper is Hannibal. Hannibal knows that

Marie Vigouroux:

the Ripper is Hannibal, and he really wants will, but will

Marie Vigouroux:

wants the Ripper. Like, there you go. That's your two person

Marie Vigouroux:

love triangle.

Jeremy Greer:

This is so good. And will leaves, he kind of

Jeremy Greer:

smiles at Hannibal and then leaves,

Marie Vigouroux:

right? He smiles at Hannibal, and I don't

Marie Vigouroux:

like, have we seen will smile before in this show?

Jeremy Greer:

not often, right? There you

Marie Vigouroux:

There you go. Because he definitely, like

Marie Vigouroux:

forces a smile here when he leaves like and like, he's

Marie Vigouroux:

making eye contact with Hannibal, like, and I just like

Marie Vigouroux:

the fact that he came, like, to bring a bottle of wine. Like,

Marie Vigouroux:

again, maybe he really did think that the surgery thing was just

Marie Vigouroux:

hot, like, really interesting to me.

Jeremy Greer:

Or he suspects, he suspects something, right? Like

Jeremy Greer:

he got a peek of the veil, and so he's, he's, he's, he's

Jeremy Greer:

worried about it.

Marie Vigouroux:

But would he, but would he show up if he was

Marie Vigouroux:

worried? No, you show up with a bottle of wine because you're

Marie Vigouroux:

interested. I'm sorry.

Jeremy Greer:

I'll, yeah, I'll agree with you there. I can't, I

Jeremy Greer:

can't argue.

Marie Vigouroux:

Do you show up at like, serial killers homes

Marie Vigouroux:

with a bottle of wine. Or do you show up like, at somebody's home

Marie Vigouroux:

with a bottle of wine when you're interested in them? You

Marie Vigouroux:

know what I mean?

Jeremy Greer:

Like, either, either socially or personally,

Jeremy Greer:

or, you know, romantically or whatever. Yeah, you bring the

Jeremy Greer:

wine when you want to bond with the person that, when you are

Jeremy Greer:

worried that they are a serial killer. You're absolutely right,

Jeremy Greer:

although you know will, different is all I'm saying.

Jeremy Greer:

Will is a little different. Remember, Beverly, like you're a

Jeremy Greer:

little different. We covered Jack, who is stared at the wall

Jeremy Greer:

of the Ripper kills, and he finally leaves the morgue

Jeremy Greer:

without any kind of interruption, and we get this

Jeremy Greer:

final scene of a long camera sweep over Hannibal's table,

Jeremy Greer:

where we can see all of the delicious dishes that he has

Jeremy Greer:

made. I hope they actually got to eat this dinner. I must try

Jeremy Greer:

to look that up. But like, Jesus Christ, like, I hope that, like

Jeremy Greer:

the cast, just like, got to have this dinner, right? Like, it

Jeremy Greer:

looks so good, and because I've been on such a music kick on

Jeremy Greer:

this, was like, well, this sounds like opera, and people

Jeremy Greer:

who listen to podcasts might recognize this track. Jake did a

Jeremy Greer:

fantastic remix. Did, like, some scratching on it too, which was

Jeremy Greer:

sick. And I use that as the outro of every song every

Jeremy Greer:

podcast. And I was like, I wonder what this is from. I

Jeremy Greer:

wonder if there's like, this is celebrating a big no no. This is

Jeremy Greer:

just an original music track for this song that show Hannibal.

Jeremy Greer:

This is Brian redzell doing his thing, and that's so good. And I

Jeremy Greer:

kind of love this. The camera pans up and we see Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

basking in the glory. Everyone's applauding him, including Alana,

Jeremy Greer:

who was, who was there. I was actually, I think they just

Jeremy Greer:

filled this in, like, the lady from the opera is there too. I

Jeremy Greer:

was surprised that Chilton wasn't here. Kind of expected

Jeremy Greer:

him to be, even though, and it's a very like adventures in game

Jeremy Greer:

kind of way of like, let's get all of the team to mix together

Jeremy Greer:

or whatever. But like, fine that he isn't, and he says, There

Jeremy Greer:

must, I must warn you first, that nothing here is vegetarian,

Jeremy Greer:

and at least everybody says Bon appetit.

Marie Vigouroux:

I was like, just like our podcast,

Jeremy Greer:

just like the podcast.

Marie Vigouroux:

I love that so much. Thank you for doing that.

Marie Vigouroux:

That was such a great idea. I saw that, and I was like, Jeremy

Marie Vigouroux:

is so smart. That was my first thought. I was like, thank you

Marie Vigouroux:

so much for doing that. I love it. It's also so extra,

Marie Vigouroux:

extremely

Jeremy Greer:

extremely extra. Yeah, this is so good. And this

Jeremy Greer:

is, I think we've we've seen like implications that he's

Jeremy Greer:

feeding people human meat, right? Like we've seen at a

Jeremy Greer:

dinner with Jack, where he talks about a rabbit. And we see him

Jeremy Greer:

like hunting down somebody in the woods. We see, we've seen

Jeremy Greer:

him harvest organs, but not necessarily directly feed them

Jeremy Greer:

afterwards. This is, I think, our very first like underlined

Jeremy Greer:

confirmation that he is killing people with express purpose of

Jeremy Greer:

harvesting their organs to turn them into dishes to feed his his

Marie Vigouroux:

Thanks for the reminder. I appreciate it,

Marie Vigouroux:

friends and acquaintances and his social circle, including

Marie Vigouroux:

maybe one of his romantic interests, Alana and just awful.

Marie Vigouroux:

You shouldn't feed people human meat. I don't know if I need to

Marie Vigouroux:

tell you that you should probably hurt you should

Marie Vigouroux:

probably heard that before in your life, but you shouldn't do this.

Jeremy Greer:

but also, how fucking cool is this. Like, how

Jeremy Greer:

evil and just like, kind of

Marie Vigouroux:

so evil.

Jeremy Greer:

I want to say delicious, but I shouldn't say

Jeremy Greer:

delicious to describe this, but just how, like, incredibly

Jeremy Greer:

satisfying, satisfyingly evil is this?

Marie Vigouroux:

I mean, you know, it's, I think it's one of

Marie Vigouroux:

those, like, unspeak like, because this show is a lot about

Marie Vigouroux:

like, the unspeakable, right? Um, we, and there was a an

Marie Vigouroux:

actual the unmentionables, I think, right, like an actual

Marie Vigouroux:

conversation about that. And I think that this is kind of like

Marie Vigouroux:

one of those things where, I think we've all fantasized

Marie Vigouroux:

about, like doing something that is absolutely unmentionable,

Marie Vigouroux:

just like out of pettiness or revenge or whatever. Like, just

Marie Vigouroux:

and like, most people won't actually act on that, which you

Marie Vigouroux:

know is probably for the best, but Hannibal does. And there's

Marie Vigouroux:

something like, I don't know there's something like, kind of

Marie Vigouroux:

titillating almost about, like, this human being that does those

Marie Vigouroux:

things that, like most of us would never do, right? Because

Marie Vigouroux:

we find them to be, like, evil and repulsive, and yet, like he,

Marie Vigouroux:

gives into his most, like, most base, like animalistic, almost,

Marie Vigouroux:

instincts. I don't know. I think that there's something to

Marie Vigouroux:

explore there.

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah. I mean, that's the reason that, like,

Jeremy Greer:

you know, villains are hot, right? Like, I think that's the

Jeremy Greer:

reason that people look at the villains of Disney movies and

Jeremy Greer:

go, Yeah, I would take that now, no problem. I got that.

Marie Vigouroux:

I remember after Moana came out, and, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

people were like, I want to fuck the crab. Yeah, I get that.

Jeremy Greer:

I haven't seen Moana, but, like, I definitely

Jeremy Greer:

don't have any sort of surprise at that anymore, whatsoever.

Jeremy Greer:

Doing a doing a podcast about Dark Souls for so long, you

Jeremy Greer:

realize that there's a healthy part of that community that

Jeremy Greer:

wants to fuck the old werewolf guy. So like,

Marie Vigouroux:

that makes sense, yeah?

Jeremy Greer:

I did a whole podcast about that. We had four

Marie Vigouroux:

wanting to fuck the old werewolf guy?

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, this is again, off topic. And I

Jeremy Greer:

apologize for episode 69 of my old podcast, don't give up

Jeremy Greer:

skeleton, I called it nice. And I got a bunch of like, fanfic

Jeremy Greer:

writers on to talk about, like, their relationship with blah,

Jeremy Greer:

blah, blah, like all of the characters and, like, Sure, the

Jeremy Greer:

romantic interest and the shipping and things like that.

Jeremy Greer:

And then for Episode 169 I did spice, and I did all of the old

Jeremy Greer:

man monster fucking kind of stuff, like I got fanfic writers

Jeremy Greer:

and artists and stuff that depicted that stuff and

Jeremy Greer:

interviewed them about it on one podcast. And that was pretty

Jeremy Greer:

fun. It's pretty good.

Marie Vigouroux:

That's very cool.

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, it was. If you want to hear about monster

Jeremy Greer:

fucking, don't give up skeleton.com/ 169, this episode

Jeremy Greer:

is so good, and it leaves our characters in such a such

Jeremy Greer:

interesting places. I think Jack is like, missed his opportunity

Jeremy Greer:

again. It's something that the show doesn't underline very

Jeremy Greer:

well. Like we see him walking away and like looking at the

Jeremy Greer:

Ripper, but like at the beginning of the episode, he was

Jeremy Greer:

like, He's gonna kill three. I think this is the first. This is

Jeremy Greer:

my opportunity to kill him. I will not lose it. And he's lost

Jeremy Greer:

it so and we're seeing him slowly becoming unraveled.

Jeremy Greer:

Something is up with will. We don't quite know what? Either

Jeremy Greer:

he's falling in love, or he's seen Hannibal in a different

Jeremy Greer:

way, or maybe both. Alana seems to be being seduced by Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

in a weird way. Can't wait to see where that's going. And,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, just like again, to take it all back to our performance

Jeremy Greer:

theme, just Hannibal putting on a literal performance at the end

Jeremy Greer:

after spending the whole episode performing for other people in

Jeremy Greer:

different roles, is fascinating to me.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah. I mean, I don't have, I don't have much

Marie Vigouroux:

else to say about this episode, apart from the fact that it was

Marie Vigouroux:

absolutely amazing. Was absolutely amazing, and yeah,

Marie Vigouroux:

probably my favorite episode so far that we have seen together.

Marie Vigouroux:

mind blowing.

Jeremy Greer:

What else could happen in the show to make you

Jeremy Greer:

like it even more? I wonder out loud with my mouth, hmm, what

Jeremy Greer:

else could possibly happen. I cannot wait to watch Hannibal

Jeremy Greer:

season one, episode eight, later tonight with my wife. I gotta

Jeremy Greer:

have a good time.

Marie Vigouroux:

all right, are we? Is there anything else that

Marie Vigouroux:

you want to bring up before we move on to the review section?

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, have a 45 minute dissertation about the

Jeremy Greer:

the opera. No kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Let's,

Jeremy Greer:

Let's jump into reviews.

Jeremy Greer:

All right, let's, let's leave with your review. Mary,

Marie Vigouroux:

so I am going to give this episode four stars.

Marie Vigouroux:

I would give it more 10 stars if I could, because, like I said,

Marie Vigouroux:

it's my favorite so far. So with its fruity notes of blood red

Marie Vigouroux:

berries and its hint of loneliness, the sweet and sour

Marie Vigouroux:

sorbet provided a timely and deviously refreshing break from

Marie Vigouroux:

the exquisite meal we've been having so far.

Jeremy Greer:

I'm also going to give it four stars. I consider

Jeremy Greer:

this a welcome fruity break for montereys filled with organ

Jeremy Greer:

meat. Yum, yum, yum. Thank you everybody for listening. We very

Jeremy Greer:

much appreciate it. If you would like to support us, you can do

Jeremy Greer:

right? We'll be back in a couple of weeks, and

Jeremy Greer:

until Then, bon appetit.

Marie Vigouroux:

Bon appetit, everybody.

Marie Vigouroux:

Hi,

Jeremy Greer:

good morning.

Marie Vigouroux:

Good morning. How are you today?

Jeremy Greer:

I'm - still early. I got up. I got up super early,

Jeremy Greer:

though, but I'm okay. I'm doing well. I ordered all the

Jeremy Greer:

groceries so,

Marie Vigouroux:

oh, that's good.

Jeremy Greer:

They're done.

Marie Vigouroux:

That's really good. Did you have to use any

Marie Vigouroux:

business cards for that? Or

Jeremy Greer:

no, no, no, no business cards. What do you

Jeremy Greer:

Oh no. I mean, all he would have to do would be like, go to I

Jeremy Greer:

think Hannibal does when he runs out of rude people? Probably

Jeremy Greer:

doesn't happen. Huh, like in a modern society, just doesn't happen.

Jeremy Greer:

don't know. Where are people rude?

Jeremy Greer:

The best buy, you know, it's, maybe we should. This is

Jeremy Greer:

probably podcast material, not outtakes material, but like,

Jeremy Greer:

it's, it was interesting to me that all of his business cards

Jeremy Greer:

were like management and not retail service workers. You know

Jeremy Greer:

what I'm saying?

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, I did like that.

Jeremy Greer:

people that, like, own the place were shitty. Not

Jeremy Greer:

people that, like, are working for minimum wage or something,

Marie Vigouroux:

you know. So because of the transcripts that

Marie Vigouroux:

I've been doing, I I'm real listening, like, in depth to

Marie Vigouroux:

everything that we've recorded so far. And one of the things

Marie Vigouroux:

that we were saying was that, like, you know, forget, eat the

Marie Vigouroux:

rich. It has to be eat the rude. But I think maybe you were right

Marie Vigouroux:

when you said, Maybe both.

Jeremy Greer:

Can do both, yeah, well, the richest, the rich, are

Jeremy Greer:

often rude, right? Like, I think that's the that's what it comes

Marie Vigouroux:

yeah, I think so. All right, hold on. What am

Marie Vigouroux:

down to,

Marie Vigouroux:

I looking for? What am I why? Why is this so difficult today?

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh yeah. Sorbet okay. I've got my notes up like, Oh my God.

Jeremy Greer:

I added, I'm gonna go ahead and start recording in

Jeremy Greer:

Zencaster sure added a bunch of stuff to the bottom. I want to

Jeremy Greer:

talk about some of the Music in this episode, not extensively,

Jeremy Greer:

but I think I was telling autumn, like, I just added a

Jeremy Greer:

paragraph worth of notes, so we're probably gonna get off the

Jeremy Greer:

rails on this one. She's like, good. I want you to, she's like,

Jeremy Greer:

I've watched this episode three times with you know, I want you

Jeremy Greer:

to get off the rails on it, not actually three, two times. And

Jeremy Greer:

then I fast forward this morning. Yeah, it's gonna be

Jeremy Greer:

fun.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, it's a good thing we have the outtakes

Marie Vigouroux:

because, like, I am not used to speaking to human beings that

Marie Vigouroux:

are not my child, like, 815 in the morning on a Sunday morning,

Jeremy Greer:

gotta warm up the pipes. Gotta get them loosey

Jeremy Greer:

goosey. I know, right? This is how outtakes started with me and

Jeremy Greer:

Chris, basically. Well, I mean, technically, it started with

Jeremy Greer:

just, like, shit, dumb shit, we would say. And then, like, it

Jeremy Greer:

just started becoming like, oh, let's warm up the pipes and just

Jeremy Greer:

have a conversation. And then we just became, like, a third

Jeremy Greer:

became like a 30 minute comvo before the podcast

Marie Vigouroux:

And people love it, right?

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, yeah, people seem to enjoy it.

Marie Vigouroux:

what are your plans for today?

Jeremy Greer:

As little as possible.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, good.

Jeremy Greer:

Autumn. Is planning on making dumplings

Jeremy Greer:

today, and then we're going to prepare to make like, like a

Jeremy Greer:

Greek feast tomorrow. So we're doing, like, some chicken

Jeremy Greer:

shawarma. We bought pita, but we might just make our own pita.

Jeremy Greer:

Like, we've got one of those pizza oven things so we can kind

Jeremy Greer:

of flash them real quick. She's found some recipe for like, a.

Jeremy Greer:

Greek style potato salad. So we'll do something like that,

Jeremy Greer:

and then this is coming out way later. Yeah, Chris and I are

Jeremy Greer:

gonna, are trying to do some, like, Halloween stuff for

Jeremy Greer:

October. So I told him, the original plan was like, Let's do

Jeremy Greer:

I'll choose two horror movies, and you choose two horror

Jeremy Greer:

movies, and we'll release, like one a week. And then we started

Jeremy Greer:

doing Game of Thrones. And I was like, You know what? Let's do.

Jeremy Greer:

I'll do one. And his fiancee, Jess, requested that we do

Jeremy Greer:

commentary for Twilight, the first Twilight movie. And I've

Jeremy Greer:

never seen any Twilight movies, so I've never read any books. So

Jeremy Greer:

I'm it's been a thing for a while that we talk about. So I'm

Jeremy Greer:

probably going to try to convince Autumn to watch Pearl,

Jeremy Greer:

which is a slasher movie from Thai West, and Mia Goth, which

Jeremy Greer:

is one of my favorites.

Marie Vigouroux:

that is so exciting. I'm also somebody who

Marie Vigouroux:

hasn't seen or read any of the Twilight books, movies

Jeremy Greer:

really

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah,

Jeremy Greer:

Wow, that's so,

Marie Vigouroux:

I know, that's so rare

Jeremy Greer:

I expect it to - So it's such a, it's just like

Jeremy Greer:

a, like a fandom thing, right? Like, even, like in the genres

Jeremy Greer:

that you and I deal in, like it's such a, such a huge one.

Marie Vigouroux:

I know Rochelle actually, really wants me to

Marie Vigouroux:

watch Twilight for carrying wayward actually, it's just

Marie Vigouroux:

like, you have to,

Jeremy Greer:

now you can watch it with Jeremy and Chris talking

Jeremy Greer:

over on the top of it. So that'll be even better.

Marie Vigouroux:

I do think that that'll make it better.

Jeremy Greer:

It has to make it like somewhat, but I can't wait.

Jeremy Greer:

We did the thing with we did that with Shrek, and I'd never

Jeremy Greer:

seen Shrek

Marie Vigouroux:

You'd never seen Shrek.

Jeremy Greer:

I've never seen Shrek, I know.

Marie Vigouroux:

What?

Jeremy Greer:

And it was, it was such an experience, because,

Jeremy Greer:

like, That movie is not aimed at like 40 year old dudes by any

Jeremy Greer:

stretch of the imagination. Like, I think that movie is

Jeremy Greer:

aimed at like a certain generation, and has become like

Jeremy Greer:

a thing for 40 year old dudes who have watched it their entire

Jeremy Greer:

lives. And I am not that guy. So I was just like, What is this

Jeremy Greer:

disgusting green animal like I was just horrified by the entire

Jeremy Greer:

thing so gross. So I'm really looking forward to Twilight

Jeremy Greer:

being very similar, just being like, What in the fuck is going

Jeremy Greer:

on? What is what is happening?

Marie Vigouroux:

Well, I mean, Twilight is definitely not aimed

Marie Vigouroux:

at 40 year old dudes, either to be fair. So you are not the

Marie Vigouroux:

target audience for that, definitely. But I did read a

Marie Vigouroux:

tweet, uh, somebody was talking about how Shrek was actually,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, pretty, um, like, a big change in in the way that we

Marie Vigouroux:

told fairy tales, because they were, like, it showed that,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, you didn't have to be pretty in order to be good,

Marie Vigouroux:

right? Like, good and pretty don't necessarily go together.

Jeremy Greer:

I like that. Hadn't thought about that. I try

Jeremy Greer:

to think about a Shrek as little as possible in my daily life.

Marie Vigouroux:

You know that now, like all the kids hear the

Marie Vigouroux:

Smash Mouth song and they're like, oh, it's the Shrek song.

Marie Vigouroux:

And I'm like, it was a song before!

Jeremy Greer:

It was a song before you guys co opted it.

Jeremy Greer:

This was our music.

Marie Vigouroux:

This was our music. It's so funny. Like, we

Marie Vigouroux:

used to sing it in I was in high school, and we used to, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

just sing it in the hallways, like, sitting down,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah? Like, that song was, like, a was, like an

Jeremy Greer:

earworm, right? Like, it was, like the Chumbawamba song, like,

Jeremy Greer:

that thing just never that thing never died. So, yeah,

Marie Vigouroux:

it was lovely. Oh, my God, I'm feeling all

Marie Vigouroux:

nostalgic for high school. Like, who am I? What is happening

Jeremy Greer:

the high school I graduated from, it looks so much

Jeremy Greer:

like a prison from the outside, just like, just big, huge square

Jeremy Greer:

boxes next to each other, like cinder block, square boxes that

Jeremy Greer:

were just painted in, like, the ugliest beige color you can

Jeremy Greer:

imagine. And I happen to be back up there, like I live three or

Jeremy Greer:

four hours from it now, and I happen to be back up there. So I

Jeremy Greer:

was like, You know what? Let's let's see what the old nostalgia

Jeremy Greer:

button will produce. And I drove by, and I guess they closed the

Jeremy Greer:

fucker down, like it's not even a school anymore. And I was

Jeremy Greer:

like, oh, okay, well, see you later.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh no,

Jeremy Greer:

it's how much I keep up with all of my old high

Jeremy Greer:

school friends, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Yeah, clearly, my high school was right next to

Marie Vigouroux:

a cemetery.

Jeremy Greer:

Excellent.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, exactly. And so we would always say that,

Marie Vigouroux:

like once we were done with high school, that's where we would

Marie Vigouroux:

all end up anyway,

Jeremy Greer:

hanging out with the goth kids

Marie Vigouroux:

the existential dread of the early 2000s

Jeremy Greer:

I got out a little bit before that. I graduated in

Jeremy Greer:

98 so I was, I was a little bit ahead of you, and so I never

Jeremy Greer:

hit, like, the early, like, existential crisis, 2000s but we

Jeremy Greer:

were, we were all, like, told that everything would be

Jeremy Greer:

possible if you went to college. That was the big thing. Like,

Jeremy Greer:

you just go to college and, like, your life is set. Like,

Jeremy Greer:

that was the like, you have to go to college no matter what.

Jeremy Greer:

And I was like, I just didn't want to do that. Like, I was

Jeremy Greer:

like, I don't want to do any more of this. This sucks. And I

Jeremy Greer:

liked learning and everything. I just didn't like school. So it

Jeremy Greer:

was kind of a weird situation.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, yeah, well, I mean, yes, I have a lot of

Marie Vigouroux:

thoughts about how those two things aren't like, don't know.

Marie Vigouroux:

Necessarily go together, unfortunately, right? Learning

Marie Vigouroux:

in school, like, there, they can be separate. You can learn

Marie Vigouroux:

without going to school

Jeremy Greer:

I'm playing this very weird video game called

Jeremy Greer:

Harold halibut, and you, it's, you play the character Harold

Jeremy Greer:

halibut. And right now, like, we're in a weird, like,

Jeremy Greer:

spaceship that crashed under the sea, and we've been here for 100

Jeremy Greer:

years, and I'm like, the janitor or whatever. So I'm just like,

Jeremy Greer:

I'm just like walking around and talking to people. And one of

Jeremy Greer:

the conversations I had recently was with this kid. And the kid

Jeremy Greer:

was like, you know, I really don't like going to school or

Jeremy Greer:

whatever, you know, I found, like, I learned more stuff on my

Jeremy Greer:

own and doing in my own way. And your character Harold is like,

Jeremy Greer:

well, you know, you can do both, like, you could go to school and

Jeremy Greer:

learn what they teach you and learn you know stuff on your

Jeremy Greer:

own. And the kid says, I guess it would be good to know

Jeremy Greer:

everything. Just started laughing. It's just such a good

Jeremy Greer:

line. Like, oh, that's the way to learn everything school and

Jeremy Greer:

on my own.

Marie Vigouroux:

That is so sweet. I love it so much. Oh, my

Marie Vigouroux:

God.

Jeremy Greer:

It's a very weird game. Like, so far, it's

Jeremy Greer:

literally just walking around and doing conversations. It's

Jeremy Greer:

very strange. I found a weird alien. So I'm trying to get him

Jeremy Greer:

healed up so I can talk to a weird alien guy.

Marie Vigouroux:

Of course you would find a weird alien.

Jeremy Greer:

Of course,

Marie Vigouroux:

nothing has made more sense in the things

Marie Vigouroux:

that you've told me, like, all week. Of course you found a

Marie Vigouroux:

weird alien guy.

Jeremy Greer:

Do you have any big plans for the day?

Marie Vigouroux:

I think I'm gonna try again for the flour

Marie Vigouroux:

guy. Okay? Because I'm feeling much more energized than I was

Marie Vigouroux:

the last time I tried to do that. So I'm gonna go,

Jeremy Greer:

Have you been a bread making fool lately?

Marie Vigouroux:

I know I actually it's so funny that you

Marie Vigouroux:

said you wanted to make pita with with Autumn, because I I've

Marie Vigouroux:

been like, kind of looking at my supply of flour, which is very,

Marie Vigouroux:

very low at the moment, but I was like, I really want to make

Marie Vigouroux:

pitas. Because, like, I made, I actually made, like, Chicken

Marie Vigouroux:

Shawarma this week.

Jeremy Greer:

Nice. Okay.

Marie Vigouroux:

And I was like, damn it, I don't have, like, I

Marie Vigouroux:

don't have enough flour to make pitas. But anyway, so that's

Marie Vigouroux:

something that I definitely want to try at some point. And I

Marie Vigouroux:

think I might do that this week, because 10 year old, who will

Marie Vigouroux:

probably be 11 by the time this comes out, I know loves pita

Marie Vigouroux:

bread.

Jeremy Greer:

Of course. Yeah. Pita bread is delicious. Yeah.

Marie Vigouroux:

Apart from that, I've got some cleaning and

Marie Vigouroux:

I gotta make some I bought a big box of tomatoes, so I gotta

Marie Vigouroux:

process those Make, make and freeze soup and make and freeze

Marie Vigouroux:

sauce.

Jeremy Greer:

Love it, absolutely love it. Vacuum

Jeremy Greer:

sealers changed our life. We when the I think there's right

Jeremy Greer:

on quarantine. When we got the vacuum sealer and, like, bought

Jeremy Greer:

a deep freeze, we're like, we're gonna make, you know, we're

Jeremy Greer:

gonna make gumbo for 18 years and put it all in the freezer

Jeremy Greer:

and make a, we will have gumbo. So, yeah, that's we love doing

Jeremy Greer:

stuff like that. We love making, like, a big pot of something and

Jeremy Greer:

just spin it up because it makes it so easy. Like, you know, it's

Jeremy Greer:

a Thursday night. Like, neither of us really want to cook. So

Jeremy Greer:

like, oh, we have a bolognese sauce. Let's heat up some pasta

Jeremy Greer:

and heat up some sauce, and now you have a delicious fucking

Jeremy Greer:

meal that you made, you know, two months ago or whatever.

Marie Vigouroux:

no, honestly, I've been doing that more and

Marie Vigouroux:

more just because I love the convenience of it. Like, there's

Marie Vigouroux:

some days where I'm just so exhausted, but I want to eat

Marie Vigouroux:

well,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, and having those, like, prepared things are

Jeremy Greer:

super I mean, it's just, it's so useful, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Exactly, I don't have a deep freezer,

Marie Vigouroux:

though, so I only have, like, my little freezer, so I have to be

Marie Vigouroux:

really, really smart kind of stuff I put in there. So yeah,

Marie Vigouroux:

but I started also making and freezing bread so that I have

Marie Vigouroux:

like, fresh homemade bread whenever I want, um, yes, which

Marie Vigouroux:

is really great.

Jeremy Greer:

I need to, I need to start freezing bread. I never

Jeremy Greer:

think about that. I never think about that. That's like, a

Jeremy Greer:

thing.

Marie Vigouroux:

It is a thing, and it works really well. Like,

Marie Vigouroux:

after that, you just, like, let it thaw. But you can also, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

just pop it in the oven for like, just a few minutes so that

Marie Vigouroux:

it's, like, warm.

Jeremy Greer:

Perfect, perfect.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, exactly. Definitely. Something to do, I

Marie Vigouroux:

think. Anyway,

Jeremy Greer:

I want to tell you about a documentary I watched

Jeremy Greer:

yesterday that has that is strangely connected to Hannibal.

Jeremy Greer:

Have you ever heard of Dr Anne Burgess?

Marie Vigouroux:

The name rings a bell, but I wouldn't be able

Marie Vigouroux:

to tell you who she is.

Jeremy Greer:

So she's like, apparently, this extremely

Jeremy Greer:

famous is probably not a good word, but she's a very well

Jeremy Greer:

known woman who was in the 60s. Developed like, she started

Jeremy Greer:

listening to rape victims for the first time, sexual assault

Jeremy Greer:

victims for the first time, and became and like, organized all

Jeremy Greer:

of this information and like, with academic ways, and wrote a

Jeremy Greer:

book about it. And like, started organizing, like, different

Jeremy Greer:

methods for women to be able to report that and be believed and

Jeremy Greer:

things like that. So she releases this book, and then she

Jeremy Greer:

gets a random call in the early 80s from the FBI, and they're

Jeremy Greer:

like. Hey, we want you to come. We want you to come teach a

Jeremy Greer:

class. And she's like, okay, so she goes to the FBI, and she

Jeremy Greer:

starts teaching this class on, like, listening to victims and

Jeremy Greer:

like, obviously, like, the feedback was not great, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Like, a room full of men who were like, you know, kind of

Jeremy Greer:

joking around about the sexual assault thing, and they probably

Jeremy Greer:

wanted it and things like that. But the more that she started,

Jeremy Greer:

like, showing them the data, the more they started to believe. So

Jeremy Greer:

they were starting to, like, look at these cases differently.

Jeremy Greer:

And it's in the documentary, like, the way this is presented

Jeremy Greer:

is like, and I guess I knew this, but like seeing it, like

Jeremy Greer:

seeing the fact that they would get reported sexual assault

Jeremy Greer:

cases and be like, Nope, not gonna, not gonna investigate.

Jeremy Greer:

Just would put it to the side, right. Like, horrifying. So her

Jeremy Greer:

doing those classes at the FBI leads to her having a connection

Jeremy Greer:

with Robert Ressler, who, at the time was in the head of the

Jeremy Greer:

Behavioral Science Unit, which was brand new and had no actual

Jeremy Greer:

science behind it whatsoever. So if you've seen the show

Jeremy Greer:

mindhunters on Netflix, this is that right? Like, this is, this

Jeremy Greer:

is them learning how to talk to serial killers. So they were,

Jeremy Greer:

they were going in and interviewing the serial killers

Jeremy Greer:

that they had captured and talking to them and getting this

Jeremy Greer:

information and trying to figure out how to use that in order to

Jeremy Greer:

catch more serial killers. Well, then they get this woman, this

Jeremy Greer:

consultant, like, not even an FBI agent, Dr Ann Burgess and

Jeremy Greer:

and she's like, You guys are doing this all wrong. And she

Jeremy Greer:

she develops a like, 57 page questionnaire, because

Jeremy Greer:

obviously, like, you have to they were just sitting down and

Jeremy Greer:

having conversations with these people. But like, she was like,

Jeremy Greer:

No, you have to ask them the same questions so that we can

Jeremy Greer:

get this the correct data. We can start correlating all of

Jeremy Greer:

this stuff.

Marie Vigouroux:

We can standardize it

Jeremy Greer:

Exactly, yeah. And so she does that, which leads to

Jeremy Greer:

Creation of their ability to actually put together, like

Jeremy Greer:

profiles of killers, which then, in like the 1980s there was a

Jeremy Greer:

ski mask rapist in South Louisiana. So she comes down and

Jeremy Greer:

doesn't talk to any of the really, the police. In fact, the

Jeremy Greer:

police were like, Hey, you have someone called the FBI. I'm

Jeremy Greer:

like, you have someone down here impersonating the FBI. Like, no,

Jeremy Greer:

no, she's good. She's cool. Like, let her do what she wants.

Jeremy Greer:

So she talks to all of the victims and develops this

Jeremy Greer:

profile, which was used, like, one of the cops in South

Jeremy Greer:

Louisiana, and, like, use this stuff from the profile two

Jeremy Greer:

months later to catch the guy. So, huge win. So this goes on

Jeremy Greer:

for years and years and years, and they eventually realize,

Jeremy Greer:

like, Hey, we've been like, they're getting so many requests

Jeremy Greer:

for profiles. They're like, we need to start teaching this to

Jeremy Greer:

other people, not just the FBI and like. So they wrote a book,

Jeremy Greer:

and the book is called Sexual homicide patterns and motives,

Jeremy Greer:

and that's the book that Silence of the Lambs is based on.

Marie Vigouroux:

No! Oh my god!

Jeremy Greer:

Robert Ressler. Is the kind of, the formative

Jeremy Greer:

version of Jack Crawford, which is kind of crazy, like I was

Jeremy Greer:

watching this documentary. I'm like, Holy shit, this is not

Jeremy Greer:

going to be literally about, oh, it's about Hannibal, okay. It's

Jeremy Greer:

about,

Marie Vigouroux:

don't you love it in life when things just kind

Marie Vigouroux:

of, like, line up this way, like, the serendipity of it all,

Marie Vigouroux:

I love that stuff. Like, it gets it tickles my brain in a way

Marie Vigouroux:

that, like, I can't even describe, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Like, as it's unintentional. It's just like

Jeremy Greer:

kismet, right? It's just like, stuff lines up and it's just

Jeremy Greer:

perfect. And then she, like, she goes on, she basically this

Jeremy Greer:

entire time, by the way, that she's helping the FBI. She's got

Jeremy Greer:

like, three or four kids, she's got like, a whole, like, she's

Jeremy Greer:

the dean of a nursing college, like she's, she's got these

Jeremy Greer:

like, three careers that she's doing, and then she retires from

Jeremy Greer:

the FBI in the 90s, or, like, kind of stops taking cases,

Jeremy Greer:

basically, and then gets, like, pulled into the Menendez

Jeremy Greer:

brothers trial, and like, starts looking at it from the other

Jeremy Greer:

side, and she starts, you know, so she's not only she

Jeremy Greer:

responsible for allowing this huge group of women to, like,

Jeremy Greer:

talk about their sexual assault and like, be able to be

Jeremy Greer:

believed. She goes to the Menendez brothers and has a

Jeremy Greer:

conversation with them and realizes, like, oh, the press

Jeremy Greer:

and the prosecution are, like, forming this as their motive is

Jeremy Greer:

money. They wanted to kill their parents for the money. But

Jeremy Greer:

actually, both of them had been sexually assaulted and they

Jeremy Greer:

weren't- So this wasn't, you know, they definitely killed the

Jeremy Greer:

parents, but they did it for different reasons than we think,

Jeremy Greer:

so, which opened up, like, the ability for men to talk about

Jeremy Greer:

being sexually assaulted, and then she goes on to be a

Jeremy Greer:

consultant on the on the first Bill Cosby case. And it's just

Jeremy Greer:

like, Jesus fucking Christ. How do you have this much time in

Jeremy Greer:

your life? Woman? And at the end, like, it's like, now she's

Jeremy Greer:

starting the same thing her granddaughter is working with

Jeremy Greer:

her to do, like, data capture for the disappearance and murder

Jeremy Greer:

of Indigenous women. And I'm just like, like, this is the

Jeremy Greer:

people that we should be idolizing.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh, wow. I didn't know that that was a

Marie Vigouroux:

that, that was a thing like that. They were starting to

Marie Vigouroux:

actually, like, look, look into this. Because it's been, it's

Marie Vigouroux:

been decades, like, It's been decades and and. Anyway, I

Marie Vigouroux:

won't, I won't go into my conspiracy theory about that,

Marie Vigouroux:

because that's just but I, I'm so happy that somebody is

Marie Vigouroux:

properly looking into this. They

Jeremy Greer:

They showed just a brief interview with her and an

Jeremy Greer:

Indigenous woman. And the woman was saying, you know, these

Jeremy Greer:

people just disappeared. And Burress was Burgess was like, Oh

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, absolutely. We've got a database with like, 3000 cases

Jeremy Greer:

right now that we're working through. And I was like, Jesus

Jeremy Greer:

Christ, this is wild. But just like, just not only with the

Jeremy Greer:

connection with Hannibal, but just like, Oh, finally, a

Jeremy Greer:

documentary that's like, like, obviously, it's a little

Jeremy Greer:

salacious with the serial killer stuff. And they, like, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

they had to do, they had to play, like, serial killer tapes

Jeremy Greer:

and all that stuff to be like, you know, because documentaries

Jeremy Greer:

got a documentary or whatever. But at the same time, it just

Jeremy Greer:

felt so wholesome. Of like, here's this woman that I'd never

Jeremy Greer:

heard of before, and in fact, like there's a big like magazine

Jeremy Greer:

spread where they took a picture of everybody in the behavioral

Jeremy Greer:

science units, and they had, like, mind hunters at the top

Jeremy Greer:

right, like this big like profile piece. Nobody invited

Jeremy Greer:

her to be in the picture. Like, she's just not there,

Marie Vigouroux:

of course.

Jeremy Greer:

And she was like, you know, that's not what I was

Jeremy Greer:

there to do. She's like, I was just doing my work. But I'm

Jeremy Greer:

like, Ah, anyway. So it's very good documentary. It's very

Jeremy Greer:

worth watching, even though I just told you,

Marie Vigouroux:

what's the name of the documentary?

Jeremy Greer:

That's a good question.

Marie Vigouroux:

Like, it's really worth watching. what's

Marie Vigouroux:

the name of it?

Jeremy Greer:

Mastermind: to think like a killer. Okay, it's

Jeremy Greer:

on Hulu. I think, I think I just downloaded it, but it's on Hulu

Jeremy Greer:

right now. Really, really good, really, really solid

Jeremy Greer:

documentary. We're watching.

Marie Vigouroux:

All right folks, go listen to that

Marie Vigouroux:

documentary and tell us what you think. We're watching

Jeremy Greer:

the chimp documentary on HBO, which is by

Jeremy Greer:

the tiger King people, and in comparison. Feels so crazy

Jeremy Greer:

exploitative to this one, like just the way that they like

Jeremy Greer:

follow people, and you can kind of tell like, like they

Jeremy Greer:

interview people, and they seem to get them comfortable, and

Jeremy Greer:

then they like take footage from them, not interviewing them. And

Jeremy Greer:

it just just feels like, obviously they agreed and, like,

Jeremy Greer:

signed on or whatever, like they can get followed around my

Jeremy Greer:

cameras, but just like the way it's presented, it's just real,

Jeremy Greer:

real scummy,

Marie Vigouroux:

yeah. I mean, you know, ethics in ethics in

Marie Vigouroux:

documentary making, is a thing. It's a thing, it's a thing, it's

Marie Vigouroux:

a thing,

Jeremy Greer:

Or sometimes not a thing, right?

Marie Vigouroux:

Or sometimes not a thing, yes, exactly. Or

Marie Vigouroux:

lack of ethics, and Hannibal would find it very rude. I'm

Marie Vigouroux:

just saying,

Jeremy Greer:

Oh, absolutely. Find it very rude Hannibal.

Jeremy Greer:

Hannibal and Autumn have something in common. It's in

Jeremy Greer:

that they would probably never want to be on camera, to be

Jeremy Greer:

interviewed about anything like Autumn has always said, like, if

Jeremy Greer:

a tornado hit, she would never be that woman going like, and

Jeremy Greer:

then the twister came out of nowhere, like, she was, like,

Jeremy Greer:

I'm not. I don't need to be on TV, Hannibal, I think Hannibal,

Jeremy Greer:

the same way, like she would just not want to be on TV for to

Jeremy Greer:

be interviewed by the by the local news station.

Marie Vigouroux:

yeah. Absolutely, honestly, like, that

Marie Vigouroux:

is also a thing that I would definitely so I have been on TV,

Marie Vigouroux:

like, explaining something like that happened, and I would never

Marie Vigouroux:

do it again. I've seen the way that, like, news crews actually,

Marie Vigouroux:

and journalists actually, like, take advantage of people who

Marie Vigouroux:

have lived like terrible things. And I would never do it again. I

Marie Vigouroux:

would never let my child do it so long as I can, obviously. But

Marie Vigouroux:

yeah, would never do it.

Jeremy Greer:

It's um, yeah, it's just interesting. I think

Jeremy Greer:

to I don't know, I just don't trust the news, like, I don't

Jeremy Greer:

trust the news people anymore. I know that sounds so conspiracy

Jeremy Greer:

and, like, right wing, like I don't trust the news, but like,

Jeremy Greer:

also I don't trust the news, yeah,

Marie Vigouroux:

exactly. It's interesting because, like,

Marie Vigouroux:

there's two kinds of I don't trust the news, right?

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah, there's definitely two different kinds.

Marie Vigouroux:

Yes, there's two different kinds of I don't

Marie Vigouroux:

trust the fuse, and I am definitely one of them, and

Marie Vigouroux:

absolutely not the other. So I feel that

Jeremy Greer:

I wanted to add. I think this is the first time we

Jeremy Greer:

recorded since, or maybe I just forgot it last time, but Nell in

Jeremy Greer:

the MOTW discord had something for us that I wanted to add to

Jeremy Greer:

the notes real quick.

Marie Vigouroux:

Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, that was good.

Jeremy Greer:

Otherwise, are you ready to rock?

Marie Vigouroux:

I'm ready to rock. I'm having my coffee. My

Marie Vigouroux:

voice is normal again. Yeah, great.

Jeremy Greer:

Warmed up the pipes. Yeah, exactly.

Marie Vigouroux:

I was like, Oh my God. I sound like Gillian

Marie Vigouroux:

Anderson in the late in the last few years,

Jeremy Greer:

those cigarettes really got said

Marie Vigouroux:

One of the reasons I love her, by the way,

Jeremy Greer:

when I get bored. So like, last night, we're just

Jeremy Greer:

kind of, like, casually rewatching the show the expanse,

Jeremy Greer:

and I've seen it like, three or four times, and it's really

Jeremy Greer:

good. But like, also, like, some of the in between bits, I'm

Jeremy Greer:

like, I'm gonna look at my phone. So I was, like, scrolling

Jeremy Greer:

through the X Files tag on Tumblr, like I do, and just

Jeremy Greer:

like, reblogging Gillian Anderson pictures. I didn't

Jeremy Greer:

realize, like, maybe, maybe I shouldn't be doing this on the

Jeremy Greer:

monster week profile. Maybe this is a little bit so crushing, we

Jeremy Greer:

have an X Files podcast. Like, there's not a single picture of

Jeremy Greer:

David Duchovny on there anywhere. So maybe, maybe I

Jeremy Greer:

should realign.

Marie Vigouroux:

That's kind of the beauty of like, bisexuality

Marie Vigouroux:

for me, like I love them both so much I can't deal like, when

Marie Vigouroux:

they're both on screen, like talking to each other. I just

Marie Vigouroux:

like, I don't know where to look.

Jeremy Greer:

Too much.

Marie Vigouroux:

It's too much!

Jeremy Greer:

like Jensen and Danneel. Like, just take it down

Jeremy Greer:

a notch, guys,

Marie Vigouroux:

I know right. Like, stop doing this to us.

Marie Vigouroux:

Although I have to say that I do find Danneel a lot more

Marie Vigouroux:

attractive than Jensen.

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Even, even. Even,

Jeremy Greer:

it's like, not even as, like, a straight person who just finds

Jeremy Greer:

him a very attractive man, like, she's got so much going on, and

Jeremy Greer:

he just is an attractive man like that. We've seen a lot of

Jeremy Greer:

those. She has, like, a she's a lot like Ruth right, like, where

Jeremy Greer:

she just has this like face, this interesting face, like

Jeremy Greer:

that. Feel like, that's what like people who recruit models

Jeremy Greer:

look for, like, interesting faces.

Marie Vigouroux:

I was so sad I was supposed to have, like, a

Marie Vigouroux:

picture with Ruth when I went to New Jersey, and she had to

Marie Vigouroux:

cancel. And I just, I'm so sad that I didn't get to see her

Jeremy Greer:

one day

Marie Vigouroux:

Boston Maybe

Jeremy Greer:

Boston, maybe, yeah, they haven't announced

Jeremy Greer:

anything for Boston, but TJ told us that he was going to be

Jeremy Greer:

there. I didn'tknow.

Marie Vigouroux:

Your bestie?

Jeremy Greer:

Yeah. I didn't even realize until somebody said

Jeremy Greer:

it in the chat. They were like, oh yeah. Like, they haven't

Jeremy Greer:

announced anybody for that. And I was like, maybe he won't be

Jeremy Greer:

there. And I was like, I'm pretty sure he said he would be

Jeremy Greer:

in this podcast. So we got, we got the scoop.

Marie Vigouroux:

There you go. You can just, like, text your

Marie Vigouroux:

best you know,

Jeremy Greer:

it's all good, it's all that's what I'm gonna

Jeremy Greer:

do, just text my best day we it's so weird. It must be so

Jeremy Greer:

odd, because I've had so many people tell us that they are

Jeremy Greer:

meeting him and being like, Oh, we loved your your episode of

Jeremy Greer:

Monster of the Week. And I'm like, That dude has been on

Jeremy Greer:

fucking, like, 15 major Hollywood movies. He's been on

Jeremy Greer:

like, a huge, like, triple A Amazon, like, vehicle, you know

Jeremy Greer:

what I'm saying? Like, he's, he's done stuff, and to have

Jeremy Greer:

people be like, I love this podcast you did with these two

Jeremy Greer:

nerds. Like, it's got to be, I guess, I'm sure it's fun to talk

Jeremy Greer:

about something that's not like what you normally talk about,

Jeremy Greer:

but at the same time, it's got to be like, What the fuck are

Jeremy Greer:

these guys?

Marie Vigouroux:

I mean, I must, it must be one of those things

Marie Vigouroux:

where you're like, you know, this was a good decision, a bit

Marie Vigouroux:

risky, but a good decision, like it paid off, you know,

Jeremy Greer:

yeah, so strange. Boost him up in the charts, like

Jeremy Greer:

he got that monster the Week bump.

Marie Vigouroux:

I know, good for him. Did Well.
