## Arcs

### Massive Movie Mondays

* Starter Villain: Considering the series is just a parodying of CNN 10 and any other talk shows at the time, the only thing the show had to a villain is Mal Delightful, Zachary's scheming brother. It also features Zachary as the arc’s main antagonist making it look like that if Zachary and Mal weren’t rivals then they would’ve been a Big Bad Duumvirate.
* Lighter and Softer: Aside from Mal's bullying and his frequent karmic deaths, the arc is light-hearted and shows Zachary's first years of his career.
