Hello and Welcome to today's discussion on is The Silence of the Lambs a romance? We will be talking about the background of the film and the ways in which Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter may have a bit of a toxic romance...maybe.... I'll let you be the judge of that. --All in the spirit of the month of Valentines Day.--

And I didn't mention this but check out the TV show, Clarice!  I definitely want to do a follow-up episode with this sometime soon :D

Small correction
