In honor of Chris’ birthday, Ruminations is finally dropping its twenty-third episode. One night not so long ago, Chris and Steve decided to talk about Disney villains (because Chris likes scouring YouTube for Disney villain rankings in his spare time). The goal was to simply prepare for a future episode on the topic, but the hourlong conversation was “too funny” so they stopped what they were doing, pressed record, and restarted their banter. Thus Episode XXIII: An Impromptu Disney Villains Roundup. What’s the better ranking system: Top 3 or “Mount Rushmore of…”? Which movie did Chris relate to as a child because he went to preschool in Paterson? Does Steve correctly remember the plot of Hamlet 15 years after reading it? (He does not.) Which villain does Chris keep interrupting Steve to deride over and over (and over) again? How much editing is really needed to pull an episode like this together? Give us a listen!
