It's the 5th anniversay of the show, so you know what that means. It's time to revisit a Tom Cruise movie to see if it holds up.

This week we discuss how villains used to be good and have maybe gotten too soft over the years. What happened to the straight up villains of the past like Hannibal Lecter, John Doe, and Nurse Ratched. Evil has gotten weaker throught the years and we discuss how that happened while naming some of our favorite villains and how themes are now villains rather than characters. After that, Emily plays the villain tournament where she decides who is, in her opinion, the greatest villain of them all.
