Mind Gap

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin talk about, potentially for the second time, what they'd do if they were invisible for 24 hours. Did they land on the same antics as the first time they discussed this? Obviously they have no idea, but if you remember please let them know! The guys then move on to their main topic: If you were the villain in different universes, how would you win? Our nerds give their takes on what villains such as Emperor Palpatine, Sauron, Syndrome, and Lord Voldemort could have done better. Then, with the roll of a die, they choose a fictional universe at random and lay out their grand plan for how to dominate it. The journey is brought to a close with our dorks sharing a few villainous submissions received on Discord from the incredible Mind Gap community.   Things are wrapped up with another round of the movie clip guessing game, where Doug plays clips from different movies and Justin does his best to guess which films they're from.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.
