Travel with Jim back to the psychedelic, genre-bending 1960s—the decade that transformed speculative fiction forever. In this episode, we’re counting down the best fantasy and science-fiction villains from every single year of the ’60s, pairing one fantasy foe and one sci-fi threat for each year from 1960 to 1969.

From the unknowable mind of Solaris… to the terror of the Huntsmen of Annuvin… to HAL 9000’s chilling calm… this decade gave us some of the most iconic villains ever written. Join us for a journey through New Wave sci-fi, mythic British fantasy, cosmic dread, dystopian nightmares, and legendary paperback classics.

Tell us YOUR favorite villain from the era! So many to choose from…
