not sure if this was brought up a while ago but if you had to pick one fandom universe to live in, which universe would you pick?

You can only pick one: Wonder Woman or Black Widow??

If you were the stars of your own TV show, what song would you choose as your theme tune? Can steal one from an existing show or choose another song if you prefer.

From Kanye West beeping at his friends to Meghexit drama to hippies disappearing from Stonehenge, Jen and Jess actively avoid the shit storm going on in the world right now to keep things light. We also want to say a special thank you to everyone still working during this pandemic. We may choose to joke and talk about light hearted things here on the podcast but that doesn't mean we aren't actively thinking about it and keeping everyone in our thoughts. Stay home, stay safe, we will get through this. It’s ok to not be ok but keep reaching out.

Jen and Jess discuss the psychology behind why we love to love a great villain. Stay tuned to the next episode to hear about the villains we love to hate and give a shoutout to some of our listener's favorite baddies.

Main Topic - Villains We Love To Love
From Wired.com's article: 'Why Do Supervillains Fascinate Us? A Psychological Perspective', written by: Travis Langley


Views vary on what drives our enduring interest in superhuman bad guys.


Psychiatrist Carl Jung believed we need to confront and understand our own hidden nature to grow as human beings.

Sigmund Freud viewed human nature as inherently antisocial, biologically driven by the undisciplined id's pleasure principle to get what we want when we want it – born to be bad but held back by society.

Humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow held that people who haven't met their most basic needs will have difficulty maturing. Some people who are unable to overcome social shortcomings fantasize about obtaining any means, good or bad, to satisfy every need and greed.

Ivan Pavlov would say we can learn to associate supervillains with other things we value – like entertainment, strength, freedom or the heroes themselves.

Behaviorist B.F. Skinner would likely argue that we can find it reinforcing to watch or read about supervillains, but without knowing what's reinforcing about them, that's a bit like saying it's rewarding because it's rewarding.




"Even the best amongst us have moments of outright deplorable behavior. We all want to be Luke Skywalker, but sometimes we’re Vader for a day or two and if we don’t clean that mess up, we have a way of becoming Emperor Palpatine." (From Cinemathread.com's article: 'Why We Love Villains', written by: Dan Johnson)

Jen and Jess decide the hell with it when discussing this week's topic, Magical Mind Altering Medicine. With more and more American states legalizing and decriminalizing, the best thing you can do is be informed. The views expressed in this podcast are indeed ours, in no way are we promoting the use of illegal substances and believe all medical conditions AND their treatments should be discussed with a medical professional.
