Yassss. This made me grin so many times and just nod along the whole time. And so nice to 'meet' Cathy, Gabriel and Lex on this side of the mic!

Cassidy

That 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

Nicole

I mean tbf while relatively modern on the scale of like human theology, sexy daddy issues relatable Satan originated in the 17th century with Paradise Lost.

Dr Lou

Yes they can all come back, please.

Dr Lou

Milton and his waifu Cromwell I'm sorry "Satan".

Does 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

This was so much fun to listen to!! I'm so into Disney Villians myself, and agree with this whole episode!!

Cammieo

This was such a fun episode! Definitely made me think about why and what I like about villains. I’m glad that Hannibal and Moriarty got shoutouts haha.

Kate Sparrow

I 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.

Lark

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.
