The Feast is Life is a podcast dedicated to NBC’s short-lived but much-beloved television series Hannibal, starring Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy. The show is not another episode analysis series. Instead, your hosts — hardcore Fannibals Dream and D.B. Mars — deep dive into references made in the show, investigating everything from the mythology behind Botticelli’s Primavera to the appeal of torture museums. Featuring special guests who bring something exceptional to the fandom, this podcast is for the fannibal ready to fall down the rabbit hole and peel back the layers of one of the best shows to grace the small screen. Each episode will also have fanfic recommendations, fanart shoutouts, and lots of thirst for Hugh and Mads. Hope you’re hungry, fannibals, because it’s time to eat the rude and come back for seconds. The feast is life – eat it and live.

DB and Dream dive DEEP into the fabulous Primavera painting that is so near and dear to the hearts of fannibals. Why would Hannibal draw Will as Zephyrus, the West Wind, carrying off the nymph Chloris, who looks like Bedelia? What might these mythological figures mean to Hanni symbolically? Listen here to find out everything you wanted to know about Botticelli and his iconic work.

Welcome to The Feast is Life, a podcast by fannibals for fannibals. Today Dream and DB are diving deep into the admittedly romantic notion of Folie à Deux and do a little mythbusting about this "real psychiatric disorder." We explore documented cases and how we think the dynamic fits Will and Hannibal. We also offer a fanfiction and fan art recommendation with each episode.

If you would be so kind as to help financially support us in our cannibalistic endeavors, please buy us a Ko-fi.
