From the rise of grimdark to the explosion of cyberpunk and the rebirth of epic fantasy, the 1990s delivered some of the greatest villains speculative fiction has ever produced. In this episode, Jim walks you through a decade-long villain tour, spotlighting the most iconic antagonists in fantasy and science fiction—one of each for every year from 1990 to 1999.
