This week we’re asking the important questions. What actually makes a great villain? Is it the trauma? The moral greyness? The unhinged behaviour we absolutely should not be rooting for… but kind of are?

We dive into our favourite fictional villains, the ones who live rent-free in our heads, before turning our attention to Credence – a book that is many things, not least emotionally chaotic, deeply uncomfortable, and impossible to stop talking about. Expect messy family dynamics, questionable decisions, and at least one moment where we all collectively go, “oh… oh no.”

As always, there’s strong opinions, mild outrage, questionable taste confessions, and the comforting knowledge that if a character is morally dubious, we’re probably about to defend them anyway.

Pop the kettle on. This one gets feral. ☕📚
