EP.15 - Possess Her

Hi darling, hi darling, hi darling, are you absolutely famished for a terrifying tale? Join us as we jack-into the world of renowned assassin Tasya Vos from the 2020 film "Possessor". How does director Brandon Cronenberg take on the mantle from his father to craft this psychological horror movie? Is the protagonist Vos' identity socially deconstructed as a result of trauma and manipulation from her job, or does she maintain fidelity to herself and her role? And to what extent is the Vos autonomous, or is she really just a parasite, a brain worm? Give it a listen or we will do a hostile takeover on your mind. ---------------------------- CREDITS Thanks to NeoLink [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vAnuBtyEYE] for sponsoring today's episode.

EP.14 - AsSalt Bae

Ahoy matey, join our crew as we sail into the historical adventures of today's villain: Zheng Yi Sao. For being the most successful pirate, why is Lady Zheng not a common household name like Blackbeard? How did her cultural background and information brokering contribute to her capabilities and leadership skills? And just what is the deal with her dead husband/adopted son/throuple situation, and how did she use it to climb the ranks? Give it a listen or we will pillage all your salt. ---------------------------- CREDITS Intro Tunes: Beat provided by https://freebeats.io [https://freebeats.io], Produced by White Hot Outro Tunes: "The Flower Duet" by Leo Delibes, conducted by Philip Milman [https://pmmusic.pro/] Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported, used with some modification Thanks to Feedspot [https://podcasts.feedspot.com/villain_podcasts/] for ranking us #10 in top villain podcasts! ---------------------------- SOURCES “Zheng Yi Sao [https://www.worldhistory.org/Zheng_Yi_Sao/]” - Mark Cartwright “Zheng Yi Sao: The most successful pirate in history [https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p0cgfmwn/zheng-yi-sao-the-most-successful-pirate-in-history]” - Emma Nagouse “Queens of the high seas [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/podcasts/overheard/article/queens-of-the-high-seas]” - Overheard at National Geographic “A Chinese Woman Led the Largest and Most Successful Pirate Fleet in History [https://www.military.com/history/chinese-woman-led-largest-and-most-successful-pirate-fleet-history.html]” - Blake Stilwell “Zheng Yi Sao [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bImCoSx3EA]” - Royal Museums Greenwich “Ep. 174 | The Pirate Queen Zheng Yi Sao [https://youtu.be/q5ya5KX8YdY?si=5QxreB6Dv3s9OooF]” - Teacup Media “Ching Shih: The Pirate Widow Menace of the South China Sea [https://youtu.be/acojc6aZjgE?si=L3ZCvTWqofqHHK02]” - Biographics “Further Statement of the Ladrones on the Coast of China: Intended as a Continuation of the Accounts Published by Mr. Dalrymple [https://books.google.ca/books?id=dEtOmgEACAAJ&source=gbs_navlinks_s]" ---------------------------- DOOBLYDOO Join the World Domination Committee!

EP.13 - Tinder 1999

Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a (few) needle(s) in my eye... Today we are joined by THE ONLY FAN and future cult leader, Nav, to discuss Asami from the book and movie Audition. Is Audition a feminist revenge plot, or does it reinforce misogyny in the character arc of Asami? Did her retribution against Aoyama's betrayal seem justified, or were her deeds an overreaction? And was she really a villain, or just tomorrow's heroine? Give it a listen or we will take your feet. ---------------------------- CREDITS This Episode was Sponsored by OnlyFan.com [http://OnlyFan.com]. The Only Fan: It could be you.

EP.12 - Prescription/OxyContin: The Sackler Family and the Opioid Epidemic

It's quick, it's clean, it's 'non-addictive'... this episode, we're covering manufacturers of OxyContin and the opioid epidemic: The Sackler Family and their company, Purdue Pharma. How did the Sackler family pioneer medical marketing and perpetuate false claims to get their pills into the public zeitgeist? Could the "Third Opium War" be directly attributed to Purdue Pharma and the Sackler's corrupt business practices, and how does this set the precedent for other pharmaceutical companies? And just what will be the breaking point for the Sacklers to be held fully accountable for their actions and inaction? Give it a listen and we will ask you how much it hurts, on a scale of 1-10. ---------------------------- CREDITS Intro Tunes - Beat provided by FreeBeats [https://freebeats.io] Produced by White Hot Outro Tunes - "The Flower Duet" by Leo Delibes, conducted by Philip Milman [https://pmmusic.pro/] Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported, used with some modification ---------------------------- MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION RESOURCES US Hotline: 1-800-662-4357 [tel:18006624357] Canada Hotline: 1-833-553-6983 [tel:18335536983] ---------------------------- TODAY'S SOURCES “Crime of the Century”, dir.

Ep.11 - Riches in Plain View

We've struck oil! For today's episode, venture into the early 1900s as we cover Daniel Plainview from the 2007 film There Will Be Blood. How did Daniel's opportunity, luck, and stoicism establish his place amongst the new gods of the era, and how did his ambition conflict with the old gods and their false prophet? Did Daniel ever truly love his son, or did he really just use him as a brand strategy to promote his oil business? And just what is the difference between a robber baron or a captain of industry, or are they the same thing? Give it a listen or we will drink your milkshake. ---------------------------- CREDITS This Episode was Sponsored by Eli Sunday's Church of the Third Revelation Radio Revival [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxc20saM8DA] Intro Tunes - Beat provided by FreeBeats [https://freebeats.io] Produced by White Hot Outro Tunes - "The Flower Duet" by Leo Delibes, conducted by Philip Milman [https://pmmusic.pro/] Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported, used with some modification Ad Read Tunes - "La muerte del Conde (nueva grabacion)" by Antonio Polaina-Villares [https://www.palimpalem.com/4/antoniopolainacomposer/] Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported, used with some modification ---------------------------- DOOBLYDOO Join the World Domination Committee: listen to us on the podcast interface of your choosing and leave a review if you feel evilly inclined.
