In this episode, co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick are joined by Steve Prokopy of Ain't It Cool News as they delve into a bigger, sadder Jack Crawford who could use a helping hand (or arm). Stick around for all the hidden treasures of "Kate's Classical Corner," "The Devil in the Details," and "Spoiled Meat," which isn't as disgusting as it sounds. Or maybe it is.

Nostalgia is only one feeling we draw on in This Is Our Design, however. The others are much less benign. They are, in fact, troubling, just like Hannibal. We'd like to say "Luckily, you have co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick to guide you," but there's nothing lucky about that, at least regarding Sean, who curses at his inanity at some point in this podcast (listener discretion is advised). However, special guests Zack Handlen and Dennis Perkins from The A.V. Club swoop in to alleviate the whole situation. Tune in for some lengthy discussions of friendship, inevitability, and the wonder that is Gina Torres. Also, stick around for the following recurring segments: "Kate's Classical Corner," "The Devil in the Details," and "Spoiled Meat," and sit in awe at how cleverly titled they remain, even after the novelty has worn off.

NBC might not have aired it, but we here at This Is Our Design were never going to pass up 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.

Also, stick around for the three greatest recurring segments to ever exist on a podcast called This Is Our Design: "Kate's Classical Corner," "The Devil in the Details," and "Spoiled Meat," which first-time viewers of the series will want to avoid (unless you don't care about spoilers, in which case you deserve a high-five.*high-five*).

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. Also, beware: Awesome discussion ensues when listening to this podcast. This week, that awesomeness is derived from co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick's special guest, Les Chappell of The A.V. Club, who has returned to the insanity of This is Our Design despite his better judgment. Included in the discussion are some thoughts about the theme of connection in Hannibal, opinions of new characters, and OH MY GOODNESS, IS HE TURNING PEOPLE INTO MUSHROOMS!? Also keep an ear out for our recurring segments "Kate's Classical Corner," "The Devil in the Details," and "Spoiled Meat," the most spoiler-y of spoiler-y segments a podcast called This Is Our Design has to offer.

Welcome back to This Is An Incredibly Long Podcast. Wait... Welcome back to This Is Our Design! If you've been one of those people asking for an unnecessarily long discussion of the Hannibal finale recorded by three insane people, you've come to the right place. Co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick are back to talk "Mizumono" (and the season/series in general) with This Is Our Design veteran Noel Kirkpatrick from TV.com. We usually try to outline the conversation topics in these posts, but there are simply too many this week. Everything. That is what's addressed in this podcast. Stick around to the end (fellow insane people) for the Hannibal Bonus Round and some closing thoughts and thank yous for everyone who has participated in this podcast in some form or another. Gratitude to listeners for being so supportive! We hope you enjoy this extra long discussion of what is undoubtedly one of television's finest season finales. Sean and Kate will be back during the summer to podcast about Hannibal's first season, so be on the lookout for those. Have a listen and feel free to join the discussion by leaving some comments.
Welcome back, listeners of This Is Our Design, the Hannibal podcast that runs longer than episodes of Hannibal. (Thanks for putting up with us.) This week, we're actually giving you the equivalent of two episodes just in case next week's podcast gets pulled for being too graphic for network podcasting. We can't make any promises. It's a special episode this week, which features co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick speaking with director Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice and two episodes from this season of Hannibal, among other works) about "Tome-wan," as well as more general conversation about directing, television, and the series overall. The main discussion covers a range of topics, including loneliness and structure in the episode. Also featured, what might be the most detailed "Kate's Classical Corner" to date and a lightning round of "The Devil in the Details." Have a listen and feel free to join the discussion by leaving some comments.
Co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick return this week to talk some "Ko No Mono" with Tyler Smith of Battleship Pretension. Topics include Viewer Response Theory and the Death of the Showrunner, how sympathy functions in relation to antagonists in Hannibal, and ideas of time reversal coupled with parenthood. So nothing very in-depth or anything like that. Also be on the lookout for the moment when Sean admits that he was wrong and Kate was right: episode 11 of This is Our Design really allows Sean's character to develop in interesting ways because of that. We can't wait to see where he's at once we get to the season finale. And of course, also making their returns are "Kate's Classical Corner" and "The Devil in the Details."
You thought you could get rid of us, did you? Well, it may interest you to know that we're training a militia of pigs to eat you! Not really, though. We prefer listeners of This Is Our Design to not be dead, if we can help it. But what are we going to do with all these pigs now? We're certainly not going to ask Hannibal, because last time he took six hours to examine all of our pigs before picking one. Then he fed it to us, stuffed with Freddie Lounds. Wait, what? Look, it's almost 6 am and we haven't slept. That's the kind of dedication that co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick try to show listeners. This week, David Bax of Battleship Pretension drops by to talk all kinds of "Naka-Choko." Topics of the discussion include point of view, understanding, sympathy, empathy, Michael Pitt as The Joker Mason Verger, and uneventful sex scenes. Also tune in for some more "Kate's Classical Corner," in which Kate explains how untimely this episode is in her life right now. Plus, "The Devil in the Details" continues to be a thing that Sean keeps forgetting to tell the guests about beforehand. What's up with that?
