Episode 3: Villains Then vs. Now

What happened to great villains?

In this episode of Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise, I take a fun look at how villains have changed from the classic bad guys we grew up with to the darker, more complex villains we see today. From the over-the-top personalities of the past to modern characters like The Grabber and President Snow, villains aren’t just evil anymore—they’re layered, calculated, and sometimes even a little relatable.

Along the way, I share some thoughts, a few laughs, and maybe a couple of slightly wise observations about why these characters stick with us.

Are today’s villains better… or do we just miss the simple days when you knew exactly who the bad guy was?

Grab your coffee (or whatever gets you through the day) and let’s talk villains.

What does 42 really look like?

In this episode of Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise, I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned over four decades of growing, adjusting, failing, and figuring it out as I go.

From how times have changed…
 To why mentality matters more than milestones…
 To learning when to say no, ask for help, and protect your peace…

This isn’t about having life mastered.

It’s about perspective.

Because 40 isn’t the finish line.
 And it’s never too late to grow.

The 80s had better movies. I said it.

In this kickoff episode of Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise, I’m ranking my Top 10 80s movies of all time — based on one simple rule: rewatch value.

If I’m not casually putting it on when I’m bored, it doesn’t make the list.

We’re talking iconic moments, unforgettable villains, legendary soundtracks… and a few hot takes that might raise your blood pressure.

Yes, I said E.T. is overrated.
 And no, Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

From Back to the Future and The Empire Strikes Back to The Karate Kid, Ghostbusters, and more — this is nostalgia with a little debate mixed in.

Drop your Top 3 and let’s argue respectfully.

Stay mostly you… and occasionally wise.
