Evil from the House of Mouse abounds in this week's episode. There was a throw-down at the box office between the clown Pennywise, the agents of the Kingsmen, and the Lego Ninjago. Who emerged victorious? And what does this mean for future installments?

Then everyone's favourite Disney villains stop by to discuss their evil ways. What are the different types of Disney villains? How have the characterizations of these antagonists changed over the years? Who are our favourites among these categories?

Due to the nature of their stories, if you wish to avoid major SPOILERS for "Atlantis: The Lost Empire", "Toy Story 2", "Frozen", and "Zootopia" please skip over the following sections of the episode (35:19-40:58 and 49:40-52:10).

This week is ripe for debate. What does actor Ludi Lin mean when he says the upcoming "Aquaman" film is just like Star Wars, but underwater? What are the best performances by actors in superhero movies? Are there different types of performances? How many times can Asian Jon trigger Average Joe this week?
