0:00.0	And the Hey everybody it's Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and as you and I have
0:23.6	discussed on more than one occasion the best bad guys are bad guys that makes sense
0:29.4	stupid bad guys in movies that you don't like and that don't hold up are inevitably bad guys who were just

1:43.4	He's just bad for being bad.
