This is 2015. This is the Year of the Sheep. This is the summer television season. This Is Our Design

At long last, Hannibal returns to NBC for its third season (a first for visionary creator Bryan Fuller). Accompanying its return is the dedicated podcast co-hosted by Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick. For the season three premiere, the crew is joined by the fellow Hannibal podcast crew of Eat the Rudecast: Cooper, Miko, and Ophilia. An elaborate set-up for an elaborate series: Dr. Lecter would be proud (or he would eat all of us. Both are acceptable, as far as we’re concerned). On this Italian excursion, the panel talks about storytelling, aesthetics vs. ethics, observation vs. participation, complicity, Dante, and the inevitability of what’s to come following the events of “Antipasto”. But before that, feast your ears on the new recurring segment for TIOD: “Hannibal by the Numbers,” in which Sean takes on needlessly painstaking work and countless pauses during viewings to tally numbers of lines of dialog and scenes for his own nefarious purposes. Following the bulk of the discussion, the triumphant returns of “Kate’s Classical Corner” and “The Devil in the Details” round out your listening experience, which will be fully satisfactory or your money back!
