Kenny and Ben are rejoined by their friend William Taylor for an explosive conversation about Best Villain 1995. Speed is the winner this year with Dennis Hopper beating out the villains from Interview With the Vampire, The Lion King, Blown Away and Disclosure. Speed is one of the most dominant nominees ever but should it really have won? The gang attempts to figure this out while also touching on the Oklahoma City Bombing, if Alan Ruck is the real villain of Speed, how much Louis de Pointe du lac sucks, Lion King spin-off series The Lion Guard, inexplicable U2 needledrops, a truly insane vision of virtual reality, and more. It’s a jam-packed episode you won’t want to miss.

Kenny and Ben are rejoined by their good pal Jack to discuss Best Villain 1993 and this one is packed. Single White Female won this year but is Jennifer Jason Leigh’s obsessive roommate more evil than villains from Batman Returns, Unlawful Entry, A Few Good Men, and Basic Instinct? The boys try to get to the bottom of it while also talking about alternate potential nominees for this year, the “seemingly innocent stranger invades people’s lives” subgenre of 90s thrillers, penguin funerals, Kurt Russell playing against type, code reds, a lengthy tangent that begins with talking about Sharon Stone on Netflix’s Murderville and ends with Kenny talking about where he was the night Stephen Hawking died, and more! It’s a unintentionally supersized episode and we go all out for this one.

Kissing is out and evil is in as Kenny and Ben start a new series dedicated to classic MTV Movie Awards category Best Villain. The Hand That Rocked the Cradle won for Rebecca De Mornay’s chilling portrayal of Mrs. Mott, but does it have a better villain than Cape Fear, Terminator 2, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, or New Jack City? Kenny and Ben will figure it out while also touching on critical wind chimes, their first repeat nominee, why Dark Fate is the 3rd-best terminator, The Crusades, out of place social commentary, and more! It’s a wicked good start to what looks to be a devilishly fun series!
