Ten Things We're Really, Really Bored Of In Podcasts

Anybody talking about anything while very, very drunk

People telling scary stories that aren't actually scary

True crime podcasts that are more about the person investigating the crime than the crime itself

Scripted dramas in the style of a true crime podcast that are more about the person investigating the crime than the crime itself

The presenters having a rambling twenty-minute conversation about what they did at the weekend before getting on to the real topic of the show

Groups of friends playing Dungeons and Dragons

Scripted dramas about some hot button issue...but in space

Post-pandemic dystopias

Monsters whose method of attack means people have to stop relying on sight, touch or sound to escape them

The Top Ten Villain Wigs In Popular Culture

The Kurgan (Highlander) – Clancy Brown invents Pete Steele out of Type O Negative. You’re welcome.
Top Dollar (The Crow) – ooh, that voice, they say. Yes, and ooh, those long, shiny, dark-chestnut, mostly fake locks…
Robert Harley (The Favourite) – maybe not as villainous as others on this list, but the wiggage is Elton John level, and they didn’t have Luton vans to ferry you around in those days. Mice probably live in it.
Archibald Cunningham (Rob Roy) – just one wig-wearer among many and he may be outfopped by others but he definitely wins on bastard points. Plus, we’re convinced that had he not performatively doffed his faux ringlets before the final duel, they would have deflected the blow that killed him.
Immortan Joe (Mad Max: Fury Road) – his platinum mane is definitely not mediocre.
Aemond Targaryen (House of the Dragon) – again, there are many wigs and bigger villains, but he edges it with his Legolas-meets-Snake Plissken look.
Khan (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) – he’s genetically engineered, so that Nick Rhodes ‘do is 100% deliberate.
Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (Dune 2) – but he’s bald, you say? True, but this look was achieved by applying not just one but two bald caps to Austin Butler. It’s inverse wiggery, and what could be more villiainous than that?
Lucius Malfoy (various Harry Potter films) ‘I wanted to look like Caprice, but in the end I looked a lot more like Vanessa Feltz.’ We love you, Jason Isaacs.
Colonel William Tavington (The Patriot) – yes, Jason Isaacs again, but he’s wearing a wig and we think he’s the tits. So there.
