A fictional villain podcast! Listen in any order. Hosts Joe and Tiana attempt to empathize with the most notorious fictional villains like Cruella de Vil, Draco Malfoy, Norman Bates, Harley Quinn, and more. With discussion, some literary art, and a bit of humor, they attempt to find the humanity behind these characters. Because if we can learn to connect with, relate to, and understand characters that were designed to be hated, then we might just have a chance at understanding our villainous selves as well as the villains we face in our everyday lives.

Doin' weird things to mice, the greatest and harshest aspects of "the chase," a time we literally or figuratively chased someone, & more is discussed as we relate to and empathize with Tom the cat from Hanna and Barbera's Tom & Jerry. At the end, Maid Corbic recites his Tom-inspired poem, "STATE FORCES AT ANY COST" Hissssss meow. *Explosion* *Running into a swinging door that swings you into the abyss, the haunted, cold ether*

Opening segment is a spoof of hartmanncara's eHarmony Video Bio video on YouTube.

We discuss Margaret White, AKA Carrie's mom, from the film Carrie (1976)! We talk: Telekinesis, the boys sniffin' and dating you, hyperreligiosity, things we believe in that others might find weird, and much more as we attempt to understand and relate to Margaret White. At the end, Tiana shares her horrifying poem written from Margaret's perspective. This episode is almost as horrifying as the movie Carrie itself and beware of...the blood!!!!!!!!

10/30/22 • 34 min

So, would ya transfer your soul to a doll to survive? When was a time you spontaneously believed in something strange? We attempt to, um, empathize with and relate to Chucky, the murderous Good Guy doll from Child's Play (1988). Words were said on this podcast episode... that ended up being freaky, silly, personal, and serious all at the same time and they all revolved around a... murderous toy. Woo hoo! At the end, Tiana shares her horror poem, "A BFF Bumble Friendship Meet Up with Chucky." Disclaimer: Poem at the end of the episode is VERY HORRIFIC. Listener discretion is advised.

Next Door Villain - Sexy Alter Egos and Anarchy (Tyler Durden, Fight Club)
play

03/06/22 • 46 min

Blowin' things up, the release of fear, reclamation of good power, what would YOUR alter ego be like, and way more are discussed in this episode where we try to understand the perspective of and empathize with Tyler Durden from Fight Club! At the end, I, Tiana, share a Fight Club poem written by yours truly.
A mild note: I accidentally mispronounce "testosterone" as "sestosterone" due to tongue/teeth fail when saying the word. Whoopsie!

02/20/22 • 49 min

There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie- but we wonder if knowing these rules matters at all as we discuss the notorious Ghostface killer from the original Scream (1996) movie. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT, we attempt to empathize with the murderous duo Billy and Stu. Tiana lets out her inner serial killer as she stalks Joe over the phone, Joe gets on a big ole soapbox about why we empathize with villains, and we both wonder what might set us off on a murderous spree.

Next Door Villain - Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street)
play

02/14/21 • 35 min

All the hormones and theories make it surprisingly easy for us to empathize with Freddy Krueger. But that's not to say he's not a killer; he's still not your average, friendly neighbor. Confidence, morality, and dreams - oh my! Also, why is it so hard to get help from adults these days? Don't let A Nightmare on Elm Street be your nightmare.
