This made me finally connect Mr. Ceiling to HAL9000. There are so many essays to be written based on this episode--AI villains, women villains (and all the sexism that goes with that), what villains want. I'm surprised that witches and Wicked weren't mentioned. I guess that's a "whole nother" podcast.

2021-10-26 23:18:51 +0000 UTCI was listening to this while washing dishes and had to stop washing because I was laughing too hard at the discussion of Pinky & the Brain in the "hot villains" section.

2021-10-26 15:25:51 +0000 UTCDoes anyone remember Thanatos from Gargoyles? I had such a weird crush on him as a kid. Also had a GIGA crush on the guy who played Shang Tsung in the '90s Mortal Kombat movie

2021-10-24 19:33:04 +0000 UTCThat was so much fun! Loved the questions, the energy, the chillness about it all (sometimes, you don't need intense intellectual reasons to love a villain, and sometimes, you can also point out why it works with you!) and the "I could fix him! ... I could make him worse..." description :D
