Just when you thought Hannibal was a nice, quiet character drama in which people talk about stuff while sitting in chairs...BAM! Full-on, hand-to-hand combat action! Yeah!

NBC might not have aired it, but we here at This is Our Design were never going to pass up on the chance to talk about "Oeuf," Hannibal's most notorious episode. Co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick are joined by David Bax of Battleship Pretension and Hey, Watch This! to break down the episode (and...break...some...eggs!? (it's a pun on the title (only now do we realize breaking and cracking something are two different processes))). Discussion centers heavily around ideas of family as we lead into some of our best editions of the recurring segments yet: "Kate's Classical Corner," "The Devil in the Details," and "Spoiled Meat," which has much to do with kitchenware. Have a listen and feel free to join the discussion by leaving some comments.

Welcome back to the This is Our Design re-watch of Hannibal's first season, which took a brief hiatus because we were learning how cook gourmet meals using human flesh and certainly not because Sean was busy doing lame, unrelated things. Certainly...

Welcome back to This is Our Design, where we do our best not to kill people and turn them into mushroom fertilizer. We can't say the same about what goes on in Hannibal, though, so listeners beware.
