In this episode we take up the question of just what makes someone a villain. Does our conception of what constitutes a villain jibe with our commonsense intuitions about when people are morally responsible and when people should get a pass for otherwise bad behaviors? On a related note, we take a look at some of pop culture’s most infamous “evil” clowns.
