Travel back to the explosive, experimental 1970s — the decade when fantasy and science fiction grew darker, stranger, and bolder. In this episode, Jim walks year-by-year through the entire decade, naming the best fantasy villain and best science-fiction villain for every single year from 1970 to 1979.

From Stormbringer’s soul-drinking hunger… to the cosmic coldness of the Monolith Builders… to Morgoth, and of course the Xenomorph — this decade delivered some of the most iconic antagonists in modern speculative fiction. Whether you love sword & sorcery, epic fantasy, dystopian nightmares, hard sci-fi, or cosmic horror, you’ll find something here to shiver over.

Let us know YOUR favorite villain of the 1970s!
