The 42cast goes bad this week as we take a look at the darker side of entertainment. In this episode we talk about villains. We discuss what makes a character an interesting villain and exactly what criteria you should use to determine if a villain is the “greatest”. Then, we talk about our favorite villains across all of media and why these we think they have a claim to the title of “greatest”.
In this week’s five-minute controversy we ask if $30 on top of a streaming platform fee is reasonable to ask to pay to view a new movie at home.
This week Juliette; Eric; and newcomer, Jess, join the cast.

The 42cast turns 100 as the cast celebrates a century of episodes. First up, Nathan answers your questions about himself and the show. After that, we pull in a cast comprised of some our most prolific guests as well as some of the people who inspired the show’s creation. Sam speaks to us about the definition of an archive and how archives and archivists are portrayed in media, Mike talks about neck injuries sustained playing Call of Duty on the big screen, Anji goes gaga for online D&D tools, Shaun discusses DIY conventions. Juliette talks about Covid safety, and Nathan asks if releasing films straight to streaming is a good thing. We also discuss the perils of season finales as we contemplate the death of one of our own. 
The mid-season break is over and new episodes of Once Upon a Time come back to our screens tonight. In honor of that event,
