Episode notes

In this short and slightly mischievous holiday episode, we explore the villains we commiserate with—the bad guys whose motives feel a little too understandable. From tragic backstories to systems that failed them, we unpack why certain antagonists resonate with us more than the so-called heroes, and what that says about empathy, morality, and the stories we tell ourselves.

It’s a shorter episode than usual due to the Christmas holiday, but we still manage to stir the pot, blur the line between good and evil, and ask the uncomfortable question: at what point does understanding become agreement?

Grab a drink, something to smoke and take a breather from the chaos. Come sympathize with the devil—just a little. 🎄😈
