Welcome to Evil Animals...

Was Jackie Kennedy a stoic American icon? Or the greatest airbrusher of 20th Century history?

Jackie Kennedy

Did he predict he'd be a subject on Evil Genius? Did he predict anything at all? Nostradamus is put under the microscope in this week's episode. Was he a mystic with an ability to peer into the future? Or a charlatan who used vague and cryptic language to hedge his bets? Richard Herring, Ola Labib and Pierre Novellie join Russell Kane to find out whether Michel De Nostredame was evil or genius.
