The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Its the Villian, Stupid! I AM Liberty

Episode Date: February 29, 2024

https://linktr.ee/pbnlinks

You're listening to PBM. You're playing back the stability here. What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death.

It's the Villains! Stupid! Welcome in, PBN fam, to the I Am Liberty show. This entire show comes from a play on words, a phrase created by James Carville during the Clinton-HW election season. And he coined several phrases, but one of the phrases that is noted, and you probably heard it, just didn't know the attribution, is it's the economy, stupid, right? And we're going to have a very different kind of show tonight. And the reason we're going to have that very different kind of show tonight is because every so often the attacks on the things that I love reach a fever pitch. And when that happens, I don't know, I feel compelled to talk some sense

into the affected areas. I feel compelled to dump rigorous antibiotics into the wound in order to heal it and to give it a shot at life. Okay? What we're bringing back tonight also, I haven't done it. I forgot all about it, in fact. But what we're bringing back tonight, I don't know. I didn't make a big to-do about tonight's live show, so I'm not expecting this. But I need to get call-ins back up and running on PBN. We need the talk radio, voice of the people call-ins on our live shows. We need it.

In fact, I would like to do a call-in show, period, you know, Prepper's Talk or whatever it is, because I need the voice of the people because I need the voice of the people. I miss the voice of the people. Talk radio kind of sucks around here. And I don't know. I just miss it. And you know what I don't want to do? I don't want to have call-ins and be like, hey, tell us about your water system. Look, I know it's the Prepper Broadcasting Network, but I'd like to do stuff like this. I'd like to do news of the day. I'd like to do opinion pieces. I'd like to do favorites and that kind of stuff. I just, texts is fine and live chats are fine and all that, but you know, the voice, the voice is a,

is a very different animal. It's a whole different thing. So tonight, for those of you out there who might be listening live, we're going to open up the call-in lines. Yeah, it's been a while. It's been a while. The call-in number is 804. It's an easy number to remember. 804-767-7171. 804-767-7171. The reason we're opening all this up tonight is because we're talking about something that's, you know, it just is what it is. It has really nothing at all to do with prepping and has everything to do with the floundering movie industry. Now, you have to understand your host, your intrepid commander, while I present this veneer of preparedness and fitness and routine and discipline and all that kind of stuff, you know, really what gives me my drive at the end of the day

Well, that's not true Beneath all of that, beneath this thing that I have built over 20 years Really is a nerd and a movie buff Comic book nerd, movie buff That kind of stuff, okay You know as well as I know The movies have been crushed The Disney movies suck

I was watching Monsters Inc On my birthday with my son and my wife My youngest And I was just blown away at how good a movie it was Do you know what I mean? And thinking to myself like There's just no way Disney could come close to making something like this anymore.

And that's just, you know, that's just the reality of it. Really, I'll tell you what it was. The straw that broke the camel's back, and the reason I'm doing this show fundamentally, was the Madam Web movie. Now, many of you probably don't even know what the Madam Web movie was. The notable flops included Madam Web with a 64% drop in its second week. It's a tremendous drop.

It earned $2.5 million. No, I'm sorry. Drive-away dolls did. Sorry, drive-away dolls did. Madam Web was a really awesome character in the Spider-Man animated series, first in the Spider-Man comics. But she was an old lady who kind of pulled Spider-Man into this other realm and gave him advice and so on and so forth. advice and so on and so forth.

And what Marvel did is they created this three Spider-Woman universe where they had... Who all did they have? They had Madam Web. I think they had Spider-Woman. Cassandra Webb was Madam Web. I think they had Spider Woman, Cassandra Webb was Madam Webb, Julia Cornwall, Isabel A. Aña.

Who was who? There were three separate Spider Ladies. One of them was like a black-suited Venom. The other one was, and the bad guy was some dude you never even heard of Most people never even heard of these girls That's why I don't even know And I can't even get a read on who they were Or what they were Cassandra Webb, Julia Cornwall

Played by Sidney Sweeney So it was like a girl's version of Across the Universe, Spider-Verse, which is an amazing movie. And, you know, the reason all this stuff happens, the reason these movies bomb, the reason that they do terribly, and I can see it from a mile away. I mean, it's pretty easy to see it from a mile away. I mean, it's pretty easy to see it from a mile away. And it goes back to the, not just the, you know, Hollywood is not only suffering from a woke nightmare.

It's not stuck in a Freddy Krueger woke nightmare. It's suffering because it doesn't understand the importance of the villain It has no concept of the villain Right? It has no idea That the villain is the most important part of any movie And believe you me The villain is the most important part of any movie If you look at any new movie that's coming out.

And you can't immediately. Unless of course it's like you know. Not a movie that requires a villain necessarily. But if you can't immediately understand. The antagonizing factor of the film. The antagonist. Who is the bad guy? Why is the bad guy? Why is the bad guy. Someone to be.

To be. Afraid of. You know. Marvel tried to rectify this. They tried to rectify this. With Kang the Conqueror. They put out a movie. That I knew was going to be.

Absolute. Trajola. It was the wasp. And ant man. Or whatever. They had Jonathan Majors, who was an actor who I thought did really good in some movies. They had him play a guy named Kang the Conqueror. And they had him play Kang the Conqueror.

I'm just going to tell it like it is because Kang the Conqueror is a black dude. And, you know, woke wins. Now, I didn't even know who Kang the Conqueror was. Like, when a new superhero movie comes out and a new villain is announced, all of us dorks go like, oh, yeah, Kang the Conqueror, of course. I know him. But really, most of us don't know. Shit.

I'm still waiting on Doctor Doom. But nobody knew who Kang the Conqueror, of course. I know him. But really, most of us don't know shit. I'm still waiting on Doctor Doom. But nobody knew who Kang the Conqueror was. We're coming off of an amazing run with the grape, the big grape, right? Thanos. Thanos was an amazing villain played by Josh Brolin. Great actor, great villain. Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. Kicks the Hulk's ass the first, you know, seconds that you meet him.

And, you know, that's it. So you see something like that and you understand it. Immediately we have a villain. He's ruthless He kills Loki Right In front of his brother And you have somebody

To be trifled with Nobody knew who Kang was Nobody cared who Kang was Now they're ripping him Out of the MCU And putting in Thanos once again Because it's

It's the villain Stupid So what I thought I'd do tonight once again because it's the villain, stupid. So what I thought I'd do tonight, and I asked the PBN family to help out with it. After we get through our run of ads, I wanted to just talk about some of the great villains that have made movies what they are. I wanted to go through some lists of top movies in various decades and discuss the villains. This has nothing to do with prepping. We may get into politics, we may get into prepping, we may touch on a number of different things, but the core of the show

tonight is going to be about it's the villain's stupid. And it's my final cry out to Hollywood and filmmakers of today to remind them that the villain is everything. Simply. Simply. Particularly in the realm of action. You know, particularly when you put out a three-female Spider-Man cast and no one knows who the villain is. You know, one of the most terrifying things that's happening right now is they're about to put out a Wolverine and Deadpool movie over the summer, and, you know, I'm obsessed with Wolverine. So I'm looking forward to seeing Wolverine on the big screen again. I'm very nervous because the Wolverine movie, the Deadpool Wolverine movie,

is going to suck for a number of reasons. I already know it. Number one, who's the villain? The villain is such a side story character. You've never heard of him. I never heard of him. I never heard of him. Her. It's a multiverse version of Charles Xavier that's female.

And the other thing that's going to suck about that movie is they're going to do the whole sort of, the sort of TikTok, YouTube short style multiverse peek into all the various variants of Deadpool and Wolverine, which, I mean, we'll see some cool things probably. We might see the predecessor to the current iteration of Wolverine who's going to be the next guy in the X-Men movies because we know Hugh Jackman's like 60 years old or something like that.

So, you know, he's already been old man Logan. He's back as young man Logan. He's already been killed off. He's back. The whole thing. So, all of that, you know, just it turns into a little bit of a sideshow. It's kind of like the Flash movie. I don't know.

I don't know. I watched that over my sister's house and it was a lot of that stuff. A lot of that same stuff. Anyhow, my cry to Hollywood, wake up, not woke up. You're not putting out movies with good villains. Therefore, nobody gives a shit about your movies. You're not even putting out movies with good heroes anymore. Therefore, nobody cares, right? We'll see what can be done. We will see what can be done. But let's talk about, you know what? I'm going to ad lib the ads tonight. How about that? Because I'm astounded right now. I could run the Say Grace Protein ad. I could run iTarget ad I want to tell you about both of these products right now

And I want you to understand the importance of them in your life What's your plan Specific to the suburbanites and the city preppers What's your plan for protein Don't worry about the fact that this is soy Protein concentrate for a minute. If that really bugs you, please, if you don't have chickens, if you're not, if you don't have animals that are producing some kind of meat for you and your family, some kind of protein,

I want you to understand you need about a gram of protein, well, really 1.2 grams of protein, pardon me, per pound of your body weight to maintain lean muscle mass. And you want to maintain lean muscle mass because you stay healthy that way. You need more when you're older, okay? You need more when you're older, okay? If you're in the city, if you're in the suburbs and you don't have chickens, you don't have hogs, you don't have anything to produce meat for you, all you have is what's on your shelf. If you have a year's worth of survival food that might have TVP in it or might have some other kind of thing in it, or it even has chicken and beef in it. I don't know what you got. All you need to know is that Say Grace protein is 20 grams of protein per serving. It's a shelf-stable dehydrated soy protein concentrate that takes on the flavor whatever you cook it in. When I first tasted it, the first thing that came to mind was when you go out to eat at a Thai restaurant,

you order deep-fried, which is one of my favorite things to get at a Thai restaurant, deep-fried tofu. And they bring out this sweet peanut-topped, sweet, clear sauce. I'm not afraid of soy. I've never been afraid of soy. I've been eating soy products for years. 20 years, probably, I've been eating soy products for years, 20 years, probably. I've been eating soy products ever since I met my wife and decided, honey, baby, please, you can't live on gummy bears and pretzels alone, my dear, not with me. So, you know, we broadened our horizons tremendously. Here I sit, you know what I mean? I'm healthy. I'm

strong. I'm almost 40 years old. I'm in the best shape of my life. Stop being afraid. Go to saygraceprotein.com. You need to check this stuff out. It's $8.99 a pack and you put shelf stable protein on your shelf. Shelf-stable protein in your pantry. The packs are small. They're easy to stack. I mean, it's kind of a no-brainer, guys. I mean, if you have a soy allergy, you know Jay Fergie from Phoenix Survival has a soy allergy.

So I get it. No say grace for you. But for the rest of you, buy the bits, put them on the shelf, buy the bits, mix them in with your rice. And I'm telling you right now, it's feel. You know how I always tell you about preps that feel good? Say grace protein is one of those preps that feels good when you put it on your shelf. You put it on your shelf and you say to yourself, like, oh, I've just added a whole other category of protein to my food plan.

Remember we talked about our food security network? Well, not many of you came, but the members were there. If you weren't a member, you might not know it. But we did an hour and a half on building your food security network. This is how you do it. This is a new layer. This is a new level to it all, right? It's a highly efficient and effective process.

Water, steam, pressure, dehydrated. The soybeans come from the United States exclusively. U.S. farms. You're not getting China soy. You're not getting U.S. farms, GMO free. Just give it a try, guys. I'm telling you. Buy your soy.

They're $9. They're $9 a piece. Just give it a try, guys. I'm telling you. Buy your, they're nine bucks. They're nine bucks a piece. You could drop $50 and put all kinds of protein on your shelf for the worst, worst case scenario. And knowing that if I get through all these cans of tuna, if I get through all this canned meat, if I get through all this survival food or whatever the situation is, I still got

the say grace up on the shelf. Shelf stable. You can mix it in with your rice like I do. And then, you know, Mylar bag it up. They even sell five-pound bags now over at their website. Five-pound Mylar bags with five-gallon buck. I'm sorry, five-pound bags of protein. Dehydrated. A five-gallon Mylar bag bucket, oxygen absorbers, all this comes with

the order. And you just do your thing. All right? Say Grace Protein. Check them out, man. Get over yourself. Protein is protein, right, when it comes to survival. And if you don't think you have the amount of protein stored

in your house right now to give yourself the type that you already eat, or at least a gram a day per body weight, right, a gram, a one gram per body weight per day, right, then you're going to lose muscle. You're going to lose muscle. You'll probably be working harder than you ever have in a while, particularly if you're a desk jockey. And then, you know, then what? Is that how you want to start off a cataclysm with atrophy? Say Grace Protein, check them out, okay? Say Grace Protein, check them out.

It's a good thing you found us.

We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Your path, act as stability. All right, PBN family, it's the villain, stupid. That's the theme of tonight's show. Let's dig in to start to our faithful folks here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network. We've got some serious Silence of the Lambs fans here. Garden Girl earlier today said two of her favorite villains are the Green Goblin,

Willem Dafoe. Good old William Dafoe. Willem Dafoe. A master actor. In his role as the Green Goblin in several iterations of Spider-Man. Followed by Hannibal Lecter, who, right up there.

Right up there, probably top three, top five best villains of all time. Really, truly. If you have a villain that you would like to throw in the hat, call us. Call us. 804-767-7171. Again, that's 804-767-7171. I'm live. I am live until nine-ish. Give us a ring. Okay. What I thought would be fun to do is to go through some decades of film. I thought it'd be cool to look up best villains of the 80s and see what people have come up with. Let me look for a reliable website. What is this? CBR.com, the 25 strongest 80s movie villains. No, I don't care about strength. I mean, I do care about strength, but the best 80s movie villains from cinemablend.com.

Let's see what they got going on. Did you guys hear Mitch McConnell stepping down after the election? What does he know, by the way? What does old Mitch know? I mean, I know he's old, and to be honest, I'm glad he's stepping down. I'm glad he's not pulling the old Nancy Pelosi, you know, I'll stay in until the day that I croak. But that was interesting to see today i a little surprised in that all right stand by me ace merrill ace merrill from stand by me

um i like his role better what's his name who's this guy keifer i Kiefer better in The Lost Boys myself, but I get it. Oh, Audrey. Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors. Beetle Juice. Biff Tannen. I know some of you are going crazy out there. Biff Tannen, right? Back to the future. Chet Donnelly from Weird Science. I'm not really digging this list too much. Christine Akar. I'll go with Chucky from Child's Play. He was scary to me when I was little. Of course, Darth Sidious. Darth Sidious was phenomenal,

fearsome, terrifying, also known as Emperor Palpatine, but, you know, he was a monster. He was a real good monster. Gozer from the Ghostbusters. This list sucks. We have to go to a different list. This list is trashola. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's, you know, let's do a little better than that. Let's see what Looper has to offer. Looper, best villains of the 80s. We got Ace Merrill again. Oh, The Thing for sure. Although that wasn't one of those villains that was like, well, it was kind of actually.

Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He was cool. He was cool. He was ruthless. Who else we got here? Jack Torrance, The Shining, one of the best performances by Jack Nicholson. How come Jack Nicholson's characters are always named Jack? Johnny Lawrence.

I mean, Johnny Lawrence was a very hateable character. He was a very hateable character. He was a guy who, yeah, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one, Looper. I quoted him just a couple days ago, Jack Napier, also known as the Joker in Batman 89, one of my favorite villains of all time. Definitely. 1989, one of my favorite villains of all time. Definitely. Top tier, the Joker, the lines.

I don't know who did the writing. I guess Tim Burton, he did great. This town needs an enema. It's a great villain. And it's played by a monster actor. You know, it's not a villain. Jack Nicholson as the Joker was not a villain when you were like some undiscovered actor playing the key villain. First of all, he's Batman's greatest foe, so naturally I want to see it. He's not some third-rate villain that, you know what I mean?

A lot of these movies that come out today, they're trying to be cute or something. movies that come out today they're trying to be cute or something t-800 t-800 was one of the great villains ever the original terminator is one of the greatest concepts of all he's unstoppable he's like jason vorhees you know what i mean you couldn't hot you couldn't hurt him you couldn't stop him guy comes from the future tells you i don't know if I could beat him. With these weapons, I don't know. Look, the Batman from 1989 and the Terminator, I probably still know all the words to these movies. My guiltiest of guilty pleasures is how much I love the character of Freddy Krueger. I mean, he's a horrible person, monster, terrible. 1984 spawned A Nightmare on Elm Street, which Wes Craven, how can we ever thank you enough for The Nightmare on Elm street fred krueger did it daddy i mean this is a villain you know i mean this almost doesn't count because the movie's built

around him and it's a horror flick but you want to talk about a monster right hans gluba for you die hard fans out there i'm not a big fan, but I get it. You know, I understand. Who are we missing? Who are we missing? I feel like we're missing some serious 1980s villains. Best 1980s villains. Let's just go with that.

I mean, they're okay, but Back to the Future, I mean, come on. We're just going to go best 1980s villains. It's very similar. Cinema blend on top again. See, Google sucks so bad. Darth Vader.

Yeah, how'd Darth Vader not get in there in the first one? Darth Vader numero uno. Darth Vader might be the coolest villain of all time You know what I mean He may be the coolest villain of all time I mean just the whole idea The breathing The Georgia

What's his name Who voiced him George What's his name I can't remember Lord Humongous Chucky Oh yeah Come on I used to be petrified of Pinhead Lord Humongous. Chucky. Oh, yeah. Come on.

I used to be petrified of Pinhead from Hellraiser. I mean, I've talked about Hellraiser at length on this show. But 1987, the original? You know, we have such sights to show you. Those movies were hard for me to watch when I was a kid. I mean, they were so terrifying they were hard to watch. Like, I'd want to run.

Hell Raids are three hell on earth. I had it on tape. Alien Queen. Oh, Jordan. Jordan from Phoenix Survival said that Alien was one of her favorites. The Alien Queen from the 1986 Aliens, which I think was the best installment of them all.

Yeah, that thing was enormous. I mean, they were all terrifying. The Alien, the xenomorph species itself was absolutely terrifying. But again, not the kind of... Oh, here's Jay Ferg again, 1987, The Predator. Alien and Predator, she said, were some of her favorites. The Predator is a good example. It's definitely a good example. You know, a formidable villain waiting in the shadows, but not necessarily the kind of villain that I expect from major movies

today. And what I mean by that is, if you're going to make a serious film with a serious hero and a serious villain, then like they did with Batman, you need an actor who can carry the water. Like, nothing wrong with undiscovered new, you know, actors and all that kind of stuff, but don't give me somebody I'd never heard of playing as a villain I've never heard of and expect me to say, I'm definitely going to see that movie.

I mean, that's just going to be about as good as it gets. Garden Girls hubby said that Lex Luthor Top of the heap And Buffalo Bill Lex Luthor Again Superman is sweet

Superman one of my favorite characters ever But the thing that makes Superman suck Is his invulnerability to everything God-like power Lex Luthor is Completely and totally invested in destroying him And that's great That makes for a good character

Oh my god, here we go We can get into this we can really get into this baby this is a good we got the top 100 1990s movie villains um now 1999 the number one movie villain is a guy I don't even know who it is. You guys might laugh at me, but I have no clue who it is. Is this the best? Aaron from Titus. Oh, these are alphabetical order. I'm sorry. Aaron Stampler from primal fear amazing again great actor great presence the whole

thing just awesome uh a very unknown film well maybe not very unknown but an unknown film and i'd be lying if i said i watched this film back in those days because I gave a crap about the villain. At being a great villain. 1993 is the crush. Right? Adrian Foster. I'm sorry, Adrian Forrester. I was totally in love with Alicia.

Totally in love. Back. Totally in love. Back in the 90s. So I watched A Crush every time it came on. Not for her tremendous performance as Adrienne Forrester. But, I mean, she was terrifying. An older man now with a family, I can appreciate how terrifying she was even more. Agent Smith from The Matrix. Agent Smith is underrated.

He's an underrated villain for sure. Oh, man. Eamon Goeth from Schindler's List. Annie Wilkes from Misery. Two great ones. Two great ones right off the bat. James and the Giant Peach. No, thank you. Buddy Love from The Nutty Professor. I don't know if I'd call him a villain. He's a horror character, but he terrified the hell out of me. His name was Candyman in 1992. Oh, God. Absolutely put me through hell. Catherine Trammell. Is that her last name? Trammell? From Basic Instinct. Good character.

Catwoman from Batman. She was phenomenal. Again, Michelle Pfeiffer. Right? Oh, Colonel Nathan Jessup. Come on. Again, Jack Nicholson. Right?

We got Chucky happening again. Darth Maul, of course. Why was Darth Maul so cool? Right? Why was he so cool? Why was he such an awesome character? Because he was competent and proficient and unbelievable. And he wielded the first lightsaber of its kind that you ever saw on the big screen. Double-edged lightsaber.

He had spikes coming out of his head he was that's a villain man you know that's a villain uh what do we got ghost face yeah i don't when i say villains i don't mean horror characters i mean i get it but at the same time, it's a different thing. It's a different feel for me. Here's a great set of villains. Here's Hannibal Lecter. Harry and Marv from Home Alone were great villains.

They were great villains. They had, you anticipated them showing up on screen. You know what I mean? Not even just when they were getting their asses kicked and sledgehammers smashed into their skulls and stuff. You anticipated them. And that is a sign of a great villain in a movie. You want to see him. You think about Heath Ledger's Joker. You're like, oh God, when's he coming back? I want to see more of that. What else we got? Mickey and Mallory Knox from Natural Born Killers. Stellar. Stellar villains. Just great. Norman Stansfield from The Professional.

You remember, you know, how many great villains did he play? What's his name, oh my god, I can't believe I forgot his name, the guy who played Bram Stoker, this is Dracula, uh, what else we got, Oogie Boogie was a good villain, he was cool, oh, Damascus the Phantasm, great, the phantasm herself, spoiler alert, um, great villain, Great cartoon villain. I mean, you know. Nothing wrong with it. What else we got? Sheriff Little Bill Daggett from Unforgiven.

Eh. Sil from Species. I don't know if I buy that one too much. Oh, Simon Phoenix from Dem from demolition man another great villain wesley snipes top of the top of the heap silly movie you know but one of these villains who you had a good time watching you wanted to see him you wanted to see them do their thing the t1000 you know the t1000 top dollar from the crow Top dollar from the crow was a great villain. He was nuts, right? He hung with the crazy Asian fortune teller lady nuts. They're going to ruin

the new crow, you know. They're going to ruin it. I saw a picture of Eric Draven, played by Bill Skarsgård this go-round, who I was very excited about. I like Bill. Bill does good work, man. He was amazing as Pennywise. He was great in John Wick 4. He was great in Barbarian. He's a good actor, man. They turned him into, he looks like the Joker from Suicide Squad.

Terrible. Looks horrible. Tyler Durden. I mean, I don't know, you know, how you gauge these things. Like some villains, when they're really good, you love parts of them. When a villain is really good, they're so dynamic. Again, you could talk like, like the Joker, right? Like the Joker in The Dark Knight. He says some things, you're like, but yeah, this is one of the, Tyler Durden says a bunch of things in that movie

that make you think. They make you think. Do you know what I mean? Great, great, great villains. Real villains. Real villains. You know what i mean i mean the shredder for god's sakes the shredder is phenomenal sid phillips from toy story is better villain than half of the people they put in the movies

these days it's just the reality of i mean you know just is what it is just the reality of it. I mean, you know, it just is what it is. Chris, I'm sorry, Jay Ferg said Hannibal Lecter. Her partner said Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg. Now he's laughing at me right now because I don't even know who that is let's see maybe I do oh I do know who that is and it's it's uh Gary Oldman again I didn't know that guy's name but that is a pretty I mean I don't know he's good in that he's definitely good it's a great movie the fifth element you remember Gary Oldman with the weird comb over fit in the fifth element that's a good flick uh gary oh i mean let's just look at gary oldman's filmography real quick since we're talking about villains right because i think gary oldman might have some of the best

villainry of all time under his belt Who does villains better than Gary Oldman Anybody Let's scroll way down Way way down Wow he's got a lot of movies Holy shit My man must be loaded Alright what sticks

What sticks? We think the world of you. Bram Stoker's Dracula. Unbelievable. Really. Unbelievable. Oh, how could I forget? Now, there is several villains in my, and this speaks volumes of this too my favorite movie

of all movies has to be true romance the 1993 quentin tarantino love story slash action epic with every good actor that ever existed in it it's like 50 great actors in true romance and there's like several enemies serious villains and drexel spivy played by gary oldman who's a white guy who thinks he's a black guy um he's an unbelievable he's unbelievable christopher walken shows up unbelievable in true Romance. James Gandolfini's in that movie. Tony Soprano's in that movie. Great villain.

Even the FBI guy's awesome. Who's it? Sizemore. Tom Sizemore. Oh, it's got like seven villains in that movie. It's great. But Gary Oldman is incredible in that one. Leon the Professional, we talked about that.

The Fifth Element, we talked about that. Hannibal, I don't remember him in Hannibal. Beat the Devil. Batman Begins, but he's not a bad guy in those, I feel like I watched him, oh, what's that movie with little, the Little Red Riding Hood flick, he was good in that, man, he kind of made that movie, what was that movie called, I don't remember, he was really good in that, man, He was really good in that, man. That was a nerve-wracking dude.

The Let No. The Dark Knight. The Unborn. What was that movie called? I don't see it. Oh, he was great in The Book of Eli, too. Yeah, he was great in that. Lawless. What was he in Lawless?

Why can't I remember Gary Oldman in Lawless? He was a great villain in Lawless What was he in Lawless Why can't I remember Gary Oldman in Lawless He was a great villain in Lawless too Oh my god a dude from Chicago Was such a monster They brought the Chicago cop in He was a demon Child 44 He was great in that

I didn't know that movie came out 2015 I thought that was a new movie Not a bad guy in it But in Darkest Hour he made me cry Good stuff Good stuff The Heir of the Villain How come we can't get it right in Hollywood these days?

What's out now? Let's play fun. We'll go to my favorite movie theater. I won't tell you the name of it. And let's just see. Oh, you know what we'll do? We'll go to Fandango instead. We'll go to Fandango.

What's out? Dune Part 2 probably has a pretty good villain. I don't know who it is. But let's just look. know what i mean let's look the chosen season four the best at first glance probably the best villain that's going to be in any of these movies is kung fu panda 4 i don't know who the villain is but they always do good villains that's why the movies are good madame web was a failure. Immaculate, don't know what it is. The American Society of Magical Negroes, that's going to fall so hard on its face,

you're not even going to believe it. I'm not making it up. I talked about it already. It's a movie coming out on the 15th of March called The American Society of Magical Negroes. And it might be it might be one of the most racist things I've ever seen. But, you know, whatever. On two on both sides of the coin, too, by the way. I mean, it's it's racist on all sides. It's absolutely insane and terrible on top of it. I mean, it's not even good. It's not even worth, the idea is goofy. Anyhow, what else we got? Completely void of, completely void of, of great villainy, like I told you. We've got the drive-away dolls, never heard of it. We've got the Bob Marley movie, I don't know who the bad guy is ordinary angels no clue the beekeeper i know that um he's gonna beat guys up you know it's jason statum he'll do some work

who who's the bad guy i don't know wonka who's the bad guy in wonka no idea it's not a good actor it's not somebody i should know it's nothing like that um i'll tell you what lisa frankenstein looks kind of good i may watch that movie but again young girl getting picked on at school i understand the dynamic right boyfriend comes back from the dead she starts feeding them people or something like that and he becomes uh you know less of a zombie more of a boy all of us strangers never more of a boy. All of us strangers never heard of it. The holdovers have no idea who the villain is.

A woman on the cover of the picture, the poster, a movie called Article 370, looks really cool. No idea what it's about, who it's about. You know what I mean? None of these movies that I'm looking at that are in the theaters have anything to do with a villain. The new Disney movie Wish, at least they have the picture of some guy at the top who looks like a villain. You know what I mean? At least it's there. No Way Up has a giant shark on it So I get an idea Right? We're going back now, aren't we?

Red Right Hand You know Looks like it'd be a great movie No idea what it's about Who the villain is I have no clue The color purple No idea

I never watched a movie I've heard good things idea. I never watched a movie. I've heard good things. Again, I haven't seen the previews for these things, but it's just when you talk about movies that are out and you say to yourself, why are they doing so poorly, the movies? Why is the movies doing so? Why is Hollywood struggling so much? Think about Sarah Hathaway sarah hathaway wrote a book series where the villain was so good he got a whole book everybody knows who he is everybody knows the deal right like you dread him he's terrifying right? TJ is a great villain. I'm looking at the coming soon films.

It looks worse. Runaway Radio. Closet to Pride. Memoirs of Shreveport? I have no clue. The only movie I'm excited... Look, look, ready? Are you ready for this? Listen now. Listen to this real quick. Because this is funny, but it's meaningful.

It means something, guys. These things mean something. This is not some dude at his house screaming in a microphone for no reason. There is an old movie on this list of movie posters. The old movie on this list of movie posters is done so well, you immediately understand that you're going to go watch the movie. And that movie is Labyrinth. It's the original Labyrinth. And what do you see on the movie poster? There's a beautiful young girl in a dress, right? There's a castle. There's a slew of monsters. And on top of all this is a demonic, poy haired david bowie villain he's the biggest

picture in the whole thing is the villain the david bowie character what's his name i can't remember what the goblin king right yeah um you see the goblin king right up front and you go what is this crazy dude doing he's got a crazy ball in his hand he's got all these minions go what is this crazy dude doing he's got a crazy ball in his hand he's got all these minions jennifer conley's gonna be running around in it looking for her sibling baby stepbrother whatever it is and uh you know right off the bat what you're dealing with do you know right off the bat this is the failure of hollywood by trying to to manipulate in this one and make sure we have diversity and make sure we don't mention this subject, but we can go over the top on that subject.

Strangle as many people as you want, but let's not use too many gun references. Make sure there aren't too many white people in these movies. It's getting crazy. And you lose like the the very foundation of what makes a good movie man right you lose the very foundation the guy who made Punisher has been so beat to death the Punisher like he's been so beat to death because he created a cool symbol that the army uses sometimes. He's so beat to death over what has happened to his character.

He doesn't even know. I read an article about Garth. I think it was Garth Enos talking about it and being like, yeah, I just don't know about the legacy of my character, I just don't know, like, what are you talking about, like, there are such heinous things that happen in the comic book world, well, I'll just give you a, for instance, right now, there's something going on on i haven't read one of them i should read them all but i might just wait till this series comes out but but you know there's something going on called the saber-tooth wars in the wolverine comic book universe okay i told you i'm a nerd just is what it is it's not all i am but i'm proud it. So there's a series of comics out right now called The Sabertooth Wars.

For those of you who don't know, Wolverine's arch nemesis is Sabertooth. He heals like Wolverine. He's way bigger than him. And one of the things he likes to do is really ruin his birthday every single year. And he's basically pulled all the Sab-toothed from the multiverse out And are just given Wolverine hell And one of the ways that he did that is he Fought and killed Wolverine's son And fought and killed a guy named Quentin Quire

Who was like one of Wolverine's students And then ate him And then they spread their body parts all over in the words, happy birthday. So what I'm getting at is this guy's crybabying over the Punisher and the Punisher shooting people with guns and his symbol being used in a variety of ways by a variety of police and you know the the greatest villains of our time the police and the military right

the people who keep you safe at night he's all bent out of shape about the his symbol being used there and he don't i don't know the legacy of my character Ask the guy who made Sabretooth If he's sitting around going I worry about the legacy of Sabretooth For cannibalizing main characters In the Marvel Universe These are the things That force me to be sitting here In front of the microphone at 8.56pm

Talking about How to save movies. Because we've moved so far away. From common sense. That you have to shake people awake. And say dummy. It's about the villain. You're overthinking it.

Alright we're going to do the 2000s. The 2000s was no slouching. Decade man. 2000 to 2010 was no joke. In terms of villains. The villains was no slouching decade, man. 2000 to 2010 was no joke in terms of villains. The villainry was right up there with any other decade. Right off the top, you take the incredible performance by Daniel Day-Lewis in the gangs of New York, the knife-wielding butcher. Bill the Butcher is such an astounding bad guy in that play. He's such an astounding character, period.

Again, one of these guys, I'm not supposed to say it. You're not supposed to say anything about a guy like him, right? But he's one of these guys who says things look when he when leonardo dicaprio wakes up after bill's shot and he saves his life and he rolls over and bill's sitting there in the rocking chair and he has his shirt off because he's all bandaged up, but he has the American flag wrapped over top of him. It's one of the coolest looks of all time. He's got a bullet hole in him. He's got a glass eye.

He's wrapped up with, he's got the epic mustache and he's wrapped up with the American flag. I love it. But he's ruthless, right? He's brutal. And he's one of those villains, once again, that has—he gives you that feeling throughout the movie. Where's Bill at? I want Bill to come on again and mutilate someone and say something that makes me blush and turn the volume down.

You know what I mean? He's one of those guys. He's one of those epic—and, you know, you'd expect no less coming from, you'd expect no less coming from Daniel Day-Lewis because he's one of the best actors, period, right? I mean, Alonzo Harris, I don't know. Look, Denzel Washington's amazing absolutely amazing career I think Fences is one of the best movies ever made I really do I mean

Fences is one of the best movies ever made I think I mean if you're a family man maybe that's it if you're a kid and you watch it you might not get it you know what I mean but if you're a family man, maybe that's it. You know, if you're a kid and you watch it, you might not get it. You know what I mean? But if you're a family man, you can't sit down and watch the movie Fences and not be like, I have to have this all the time.

Like, I need this movie at arm's length. It's so good. And he's had some amazing movies, man. But Training Day, Training day is such an epic i mean his character is so again it's this fits the same bill you got a high level actor one of the best in the game he's gonna play a villain you know it's gonna be a great movie because of those things you get you know moments into the movie and you realize i want to see alonzo harris as much as possible in this movie these are the signs of a great villain right which is what it is i just passed voldemort i never really watched the harry potters we read them a little bit but we never got through him as a family. I'd much

rather talk about Anton from No Country for Old Men, right? You want to talk about a winner. Come on. Again, I don't want to beat the drum to death, but he fits that mold. He's one of those guys. I want to see him again. I want to see that freaking shotgun with the big giant silencer on it. I want to see him chase somebody down. I want to see him take damage and just keep on soldiering forward, getting closer to that case. He was one of the best villains ever, probably, Anton. Gollum, and I think I'll pass on Gollum.

Hans Landa, of course, Heath Ledger's Joker. Always be happy. I mean, but all the bad guys in the Dark Knight series are great. Why? Tell me, class. Why are all the bad guys from the Dark Knight series great? Let's talk about them. Batman Begins.

You have Cillian Murphy as the Scarecrow. One of the great actors of our time, right? Incredible performance. A guy you love to see of our time, right? Incredible performance. A guy you love to see in the flick, right? And who's the other bad guy? Ra's al Ghul played by Liam Neeson. Awesome. Then we move into The Dark Knight and you have the Joker.

You know, an epic performance. And you know who's also, well, he's decent in it, is Carmine Falcone. He's pretty good in it. Eric Roberts. I mean, you know, he pales in comparison to the Joker. Two-faced kind of a wash, really, in that movie. And it's because Heath is too good. But Heath Ledger's Joker, top-notch actor, same formula, right?

And then you move on to The Dark Knight Rises, and you have, uh, Anne Hathaway, right, as Catwoman, same thing, and, of course, Tom Hardy as Bane, I mean, like, this is how you do it, right, like, this is how you do it. This is the way you do it. You look at Spider-Man 1, like Garden Girl said. You got William Dafoe playing the Green Goblin, awesome villain, probably the best movie out of them all, and that's the reason why, because the villain's so good. Fast forward to the third one, right? Maybe the most important character in Spider-Man, from the villain side of things, in Venom, right?

Or at least the coolest. And they chose Topper Grace to play him. Right? Like, what are we doing? What have we done? You thought that was going to work out? You took a guy from that 70s show and made him Venom. This is how these things go. There's a very clear formula. I don't know.

Look, I wanted a break tonight guys i wanted to take a break from the news i wanted to take a break from trump and biden and what's gonna happen and climate change and palestine and israel putin tucker carlson and all the shit that i hear and see every day of my life i wanted to take a day off and talk to you guys about villains and how the movie industry is floundering because they have an absence of a formula that makes a great villain, which is very straightforward. Great actor, great performance.

You can sell an entire movie that would otherwise suck on the back of a good villain it's really hard to sell a movie on the back of a great actor who's a really good hero you know i mean it's that's the truth we go to the movies for the bad guys. Don't forget it, PBN family. Now listen, I'm going to run an ad for yourcheapland.com on the close here. There's a lot of land for sale at yourcheapland.com, and I'm going to start promoting specific pieces of land that I like. So if you're in the market, and listen, I bought land with yourcheapland.com in 2023, okay? For a number of reasons. Maybe one day I'll go over with you all the reasons I bought this piece of land and the way that I look at it. But one of the most important reasons is now I have money invested

in something that's tangible. And it's something that's going to go up in price. And the reason I know this portion of land is going to go up in price is because they're building a massive Amazon campus there. I think it's Amazon. No, it's a meta. It's a meta business. What? What do they call them? Campus.

Something like that. Giant. Like enormous. Many acres. Um, and people are gonna work there. You know what I mean? People are gonna buy land where my land is. The price is gonna go up. It's an investment. You know, I don't put money in stocks. I know it's fake. You know it's fake, right? I burnt my 401k out to be here with you in this life. Best move I ever made. And now I want to have money in things that are tangible.

That's what I want. Yourcheapland.com gives you the ability to do that. And they give you the ability to do it for like $100 a month if you don't have the money to put you know two three four six i mean really most pieces of land are like six thousand bucks and under most and you got to be careful you got to read into them you know you can drop six thousand dollars on a quarter acre plot of land in colorado if you're not careful, right? You got to read. And I think everybody listening would do that.

But you can also get an acre and a half, two acres for $6,000. You can get an acre for $2,000 in places like Texas, in places like New Mexico. Why not? Do you know what I mean? If you have it, if it's sitting around in a bank and you're waiting for a bank run, if it's sitting around in stocks and you're waiting for the stock market to bottom out, put it in something tangible, put it in land, and, you know,

you know you have something that's going to appreciate over time. You have no idea how much it's going to appreciate. Look, all of the land, here's the thing that I never mentioned and really just kind of popped into my head now, but all the land in yourcheapland.com is in the Southwest. We got a whole new America down there down there baby people are going to build houses people are going to build houses that meet the demand not all the illegals are getting bust up to new york city some are going to settle and follow that rio grande into new mexico albuquerque

those areas buy the land there now because you know there's a population boom happening i mean there's no question about it it's happening in texas they got border land the whole thing you don't have to live there but if you look at that land and you get it appraised whatever the situation is you notice you know five years have gone by 10 years have gone by there's all kinds of stuff built around it now and all of a sudden you look and it's doubled in price, tripled, quadrupled, who knows? Now I'm not going to run the ad because I just did the ad. You're welcome, sponsors.

Ad-libbed all the ads tonight on the I Am Liberty show. Guys, I hope you enjoyed yourself tonight. Sometimes we've got to take a break.
