Episode 36

Villain Origin Stories We Would Watch

Not that anybody asked but this week we hid the dalmations and fired up our time machines so we could talk about where movie villains came from. If Cruella has taught us anything, ignoring her thoughts on dogs, it's that origin stories can work and cinema has given us some brilliant villains with some incredible stories to be told. Expect the nefarious Bill Volume, tucked away anvils and a heavy dose of chutzpah.

On this episode we mention Oh, Hi Mark Stickers (for all your nerdy stick needs) and the frankly too talented Sacred Knot Tattoo.
