Screen Babble Episode 61: True Detective S4, See, The Silence of the Lambs, The Boy and The Heron

This week’s episode of Screen Babble might not be one for Studio Ghibli fans, but definitely for those who appreciate the work of Jodie Foster. This week’s “Deep Dive” for example is the brand new series of “True Detective: Night Country,” as Benjii discusses why he feels the most important character in the new series isn’t anyone in the cast - and why it worked for the first season of the show.

Steven takes listeners “Back to the Future” this week with a recap of Jason Momoa’s AppleTV+ series, “See,” having binged all three seasons on the broadcaster and explaining how the dystopian epic runs in line with what we think AppleTV+ are trying to accomplish as a streamer.

There are also discussions about what we watched this week, including Kelly catching up on "After The Flood" “The Traitors,” “Silence of the Lambs” and Steven’s take on what was once the final film by acclaimed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki - “The Boy and The Heron.”
