With Silence of The Lambs returning to theaters this week for it's 25th Anniversary, the boys decide to spoil the party by reviewing the film where it all started, Michael Mann's stylish Manhunter from 1986.  Heavy handed and completely free of any levity at all, it's a bit of a chore to sit through, but we knew the risks when we took the job.  Bereft of any other original ideas, the boys pad out the rest of this episode with their first annual 2026 Summer Movie Preview.  The results of which have to be heard to be believed.
