Characters Behaving Badly

In this episode, Marlon and Jake talk about the bad characters we’re not meant to like but do and the good characters we’re meant to like but annoy us. From Dracula to Daisy Buchanan to Oliver Twist and Bambi, the good-to-evil spectrum is vast and no character is safe from commentary. Tune in to find out which classic villain the duo unanimously hate, and which villain gives Marlon the chills and scares Jake to this day.  Subscribe to our River-herd newsletter for sneak peeks of our upcoming books, free giveaways, and exclusive content. https://sites.prh.com/riverhead-reader-newsletter The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams The Flashman series by George MacDonald Fraser Tom Brown’s School Days by Thomas Hughes King Solomon’s Mines by Sir H.
