Kenny and Ben take a break from Best Villain to return to the world of kissing and this year’s Best Kiss nominees. Jackass Forever had a surprise victory with their interspecies kiss between man and snake but was that really better than kisses from Euphoria, Emily in Paris, The Batman, and Spider-Man: No Way Home? Kenny and Ben get to the bottom of it while also discussing the even better snake kiss that happened during Poopies’ acceptance speech, what Euphoria gets right about the teenage experience, knockoff Peloton bikes, the increasing prominence of Catwoman in recent comics, Spider-Man fanservice, and much more. Kissing is back and you won’t want to miss it!

Best Villain 2006: Not Enough Finger Stuff w/ Ethan Brundeen
It’s been a long hiatus but the wait is finally over. Kenny and Ben are back and they’ve brought their pal Ethan with them for a rousing discussion of Best Villain 2006! Hayden Christiansen won that year for his turn as Anakin “Darth Vader” Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith, but was he really better than the villains of Saw II, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Batman Begins, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe?! The boys get to the bottom of it while also discussing if anyone could have given a good Anakin performance, needle pits, a blow by blow description of Kenny’s favourite Goblet of Fire scene, the Nickelback TV spot for Batman Begins, the craziness of the Narnia franchise, and more! We’ve been gone a long time but we haven’t missed a beat (arguably!)
