On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it's time to again reflect on the past 25 years as we debate the best villains of the 21st century! Sure, there are the standards - Joker, Joffrey, Thanos, Pennywise, Ben Linus - but are they the best of them all? We discuss these and more villains from both film and television in our latest reflection on the past quarter century.

Also, AI Actors have arrived, and are pissing everyone off. Plus, reviews of The Smashing Machine, Good Boy, Shell, and more!

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, there has been a lot of back-and-forth in terms of the relevance of late-night talk shows, especially after the cancellation of Stephen Colbert and the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Therefore, we felt it was apropos to debate the real elephant in the room: are late-night talk shows over, or should they be? Are they still relevant? Does anyone TRULY care what happens to these dinosaurs of television?

Also, movie theaters invested $1.5 billion into renovating theaters, but is that what will bring the audience back? Reviews of Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and Black Rabbit, and more!
