Victims and Villains

Riddle me this, riddle me that, who is celebrating 350 with the big bad bat? Well, Riddler, we here at Victims and Villains are. We celebrating 25 years of Batman Forever; the neon &somehow gothic reinvention of Batman. Strap into the Batmobile as we drive down memory lane, defend the movie and equally educate on the behind the scenes drama that produced the film we know today. Is Val Kilmer an underappreciated Batman? Is Jim Carrey the best live action Riddler we've ever seen? Is Batman Forever as bad as you remember it being? The answer to all these riddles and more on this episode of Victims and Villains!

We're answering your questions on best resources to find those answers, what role the church should play into the grand scheme of things and much more. Before The Exorcist was a movie, it was a book and before that a true story. Do demons walk among us? Judge for yourself.

What an excellent day for an exorcism…and equally a nice day for a podcast as we sit down to talk with Dana and Blair Webb, the creators behind Fright Night Sketches, to talk about The Exorcist. Continuously hailed as one of the scariest movies of all time; this Linda Blair led movie offers so much more than a few scares. In this episode, we discuss our own history with the movie, what this movie is like through the eyes of parents and what it means to struggle in faith. How that journey of struggle can yield some of the most interesting of journeys. Grab your holy water and crucifix because we’re talking about all this and more on this episode of Victims and Villains!
