Anders HolmesHOST
You know, it pays tribute to Hitchcock's classic film while establishing, it establishes an identity of its own, which is, you know, what every sequel should do.
Anders HolmesHOST
I mean, there are some nice Hitchcockian touches throughout the film and, you know, but the filmmakers, they're not trying to completely, you know, this, they're not trying to like, you know, you know, try to copy his style, which is kind of what, you know, that's kind of like what Brett Ratner does with, um, You know, with Red Dragon, he's basically just kind of making his Jonathan Demme style movie who Jonathan Demme, who directed The Sons of the Lambs.
Anders HolmesHOST
There's even a great little blink and you'll miss it cameo of Hitchcock's shadow in one scene, which I think is a really fun little moment, which acts as like a playful acknowledgement of the original film than an attempt to copy that film.
Anders HolmesHOST
It's a nice tip of the hat from those filmmakers.

JessHOST
It didn't get quite to Silence of the Lambs, but it did all the Will Graham stuff with Red Dragon stuff before that.
JessHOST
And I just thought, one, it was...
JessHOST
so viscerally horrific, but beautiful.
BrettHOST
It is interesting that this is the first movie in what would eventually be the handful that were done for this.
BrettHOST
There was one before.
JessHOST

Matthew GrahamGUEST
The final fight is crazy in it.

That's the Michael Mann one, right? the prequel no
HeathGUEST

AaronHOST

HeathGUEST
thinking of manhunter okay but they're the same thing so they're they're both the prequel to silence of the lambs they're based on the same book but one of them was called red dragon and the other is called manhunter
AaronHOST
okay
HeathGUEST
and manhunter was the first one that was by michael mann and then later after the silence of the lambs came out and was a much bigger hit then they're like okay let's go back and remake red dragon
CalebHOST
Have you heard of Manhunter? It's before Silence of the Lambs, was made before Silence of the Lambs.

It basically is Red Dragon.

This week on Random Number Generator, Horror Podcast Number Nine, Red Dragon, 2002.
Jeffrey CranorHOST
Warning, spoilers ahead.
Jeffrey CranorHOST
Everyone's gonna have different opinions about when the best and worst eras of Hollywood were, but I'm gonna lay out my two cents.
Jeffrey CranorHOST
It was the height of color, texture, grittiness, and interiority.
Jeffrey CranorHOST
For me, the late '90s, early aughts might have been the worst era of Hollywood, uh, filmmaking, as CGI, stunt casting, and schlocky novel adaptations were the canary in the coal mine of existing IP in Hollywood.
Jeffrey CranorHOST
I'm not here to tell you that this week's movie, Red Dragon, or any other movie from this era is bad.
Jeffrey CranorHOST
You know, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Da Vinci Code, et cetera, et cetera.
