Diatribe or Iterative or
Monologuing
Also known as the villain speech, monologuing is a common fiction cliché in which the villain of the story will take a moment to gloat in front of the hero, who the villain believes will soon meet his demise. Commonly used in conjunction with the deathtrap, fictional villains have a habit of pontificating on how said victim will soon die, and reminiscing over how he tried for so long to get his kill and is now about to reap the reward. Villains may also give away details of their evil plots, on the rationale that the victim will die immediately. This speech almost always results in giving the hero time to escape the trap, providing the protagonist critical information he needs to defeat the villain, or filling in plot background that has not yet been revealed to the audience. The term monologuing was first noted in popular culture in the animated film, The Incredibles, although the idea suffuses comic book plotting.
Along with comic books, James Bond films feature some of the earliest monologue/deathtrap combinations. The practice reached its most absurd level in the Batman live action show of the late sixties. In almost every episode, Batman and Robin would be defeated and captured, then the villain would reveal a ludicrously elaborate deathtrap, finally, the villain would monologue about how the heroes would die and what their plan was. These shows/movies were later lampooned in the Austin Powers movies, and on Venture Bros. The Last Action Hero and other shows by which time all seriousness is removed and the monologue/deathtrap becomes a joke.
Occasionally villains will have motives for their speech: they think the hero regards them as inferior, and wish to point out, in detail, the marks of their superiority, or they wish to have their plan admired by the one man who could appreciate the cleverness involved. The prevalence of the cliche, however, can make even such motivated speeches look implausible.
Examples include:
* From Russia With Love's assassin, Donald "Red" Grant, can barely resist the temptation to gloat over James Bond's impending demise, allowing himself to reveal the true architect of the plot (SPECTRE) and the finer points of how MI6 will be scandalized with circumstantial evidence surrounding Bond's (faked) murder/suicide. After Bond implies that he's a psychotic, Grant loses his repose and (despite not uttering a word for most of the film), icily tells the secret agent that he'll die a slow and agonizing death.
* In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Darth Vader proclaims that "now I am the master" while fighting Obi-wan Kenobi, not realizing that he has been distracted to allow Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo to escape the Death Star in the Millenium Falcon.

Annoying. Rude. Infantile. Repetitive. Regurgative.

Technically, I think the first person was correct, and the word you are looking for is mantra....however, this word is generally used in the context of someone who is meditating, or praising a higher power, not trying to prove a point in an argument.
