What happens when villains come out on top? Join us at VillainsCon 2024 in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where I'm joined by the dynamic Lexi Vanu to explore this tantalizing concept. We embrace the chaos of recording live and the spontaneity of our discussions, even as I share a personal bombshell—being laid off from my tech job. But with severance pay cushioning the fall, it's time to reinterpret this setback as a serendipitous opportunity to chase after uncharted dreams and adventures.
Imagine a ride that feels like a scene out of a sci-fi movie—welcome to the world of Tesla's self-driving cars. We talk about the exhilarating and sometimes nerve-wracking experience of autonomous vehicles, pondering the practicalities and quirks of electric car life, like where to find a charging station when you need one. Then, we switch gears from tech to creativity, sharing our journey into designing custom merchandise. From shirts to stickers and QR-coded business cards, we discuss the art of collaboration with Etsy vendors and designers, and how technology fuels our creative fires.
Villains aren't always who they seem, and we've got a spectrum of characters to prove it. From the cold-blooded Doomsday to the tragic motives of Mr. Freeze, our conversation meanders through the richly woven narratives of Game of Thrones, Marvel, anime, and true crime. Marvel at the complexity of characters like Vegeta and Killmonger and explore why true crime captures the imagination of Black women. Our discussion takes a twist into real-life crime stories, contemplating America's most dangerous cities. Whether it's fictional or factual, one thing is for sure—evil is never one-dimensional.
