Midnight Run Ep 22. Villains
Description
Villains are a particularly juicy subject. There are so many iconic screen villains to choose from such as Mr. Potter and Darth Vader. We discuss what makes a good villain and which actors make the best ones in our opinions.
We talk about our upbringing and recall which villains scared us then and now. Are comedies or westerns the best genre and do we think that Gollum and Travis Bickle are villains. What about Joaquin Phoenix's Joker and why did Cesar Romero cover his moustache with makeup even though it could clearly be seen?
There are lots of new subjects such as our favourite villain entrance, best supporting villain and comedic villainous characters alongside a Hot Fuzz themed quiz for Matt. Which characters do we particularly like seeing get their comeuppance and which villain had the best or most unpleasant death? Matt states a case that the shark in Jaws is just being mean instead of behaving on instinct and Lewis is controversial with his pick for the most annoying evil performance.
Also featuring in the episode is which song will Lewis always dance to in a club, what the most important thing in buying a house is and who do we prefer out of Taffy from Captain Caveman or Daphne from Scooby-Doo
Please listen to this episode. If you don't we will twirl our moustaches, wring our hands together, laugh maniacally and plot your downfall, which may or may not involve railway tracks.
The tricky 31st episode features Female protagonists. Was it left this long to see if it could tempt Lewis into going to the cinema to see Furiosa, or Inside Out 2? The answer is 50% yes with Lewis, wearing his new Midnight Run shirt recalling his experience of going to the cinema as a wheelchair...
