Description

Welcome to Moderate Fantasy Violence, a fortnightly podcast about pop culture and the world around it, as discussed by Nick Bryan and Alastair JR Ball. Nick will probably launch into a tangent about comics, Alastair will likely go for politics. Both are equally worthwhile.

Plus bonus chat about the final season of Colin From Accounts, and Alastair's annual broadcast from London Film Festival, including talk of Making of Marie Antoinette, Queer Edward II, Prima Facie, Klara and the Sun and 14th.

This fortnight, we've watched cult hit sex comedy I Want Your Sex (19:53) and also read the latest storyline of cyberpunk horror comic w0rldtr33 (35:21) which also features nudity, but... not in a sexy way. Plus bonus chat about Star City, the Russia-set For All Mankind spin-off, and the latest revival of Ghost in the Shell.
The raw soggy stuff
2026/09/10
This fortnight, two movies from the cult favourite end of the cinema that we've been enormously looking forward to - it's erotic comedy-drama Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (15:42) and silly animation-live-action combined movie Coyote Vs Acme (30:52). Also includes bonus chat about the fifteenth season of King of the Hill and the current run of Marvel's Moon Knight comics.
MFV #274 - Reaching for sexposition
2026/08/27
This fortnight, we've stayed indoors catching up on some of the big franchise TV shows - it's X-Men '97 season 2 (9:48) and House of the Dragon season 3 (22:59). Some spoilers during the X-Men review, though we're pretty well-behaved for the dragons. Also some bonus chat about self-explanatory comic The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre and Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony.

MFV #269 - Sad, sad bonking
2026/06/18
This fortnight, we journey into the heart of darkness with sad-teen nihilist sex/crime drama Euphoria season 3 (14:25, hard ending spoilers from 31:34) and murder-arena horror comic Exquisite Corpses volume 1 (33:30) by James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh. Plus bonus chat about the Backrooms movie and the first half of Rivals season 2.
The screenwriting word
2026/06/04
This fortnight, we finally reach the last season of The Boys (14:24), and fair warning, the spoilers are all over this one, so I'd not listen to this until you've seen the show if that's a concern. And then we also review Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu (40:32), with a little more spoiler discpline. Plus bonus chat about Detectorists and the Evangelion anniversary special.

Really gonna edgelord it
2026/04/23
This fortnight, some culture from a short while ago - the first volume of Absolute Wonder Woman (15:06) and Oscar-winning Norwegian movie Sentimental Value (28:40). Plus some bonus coverage of more past releases - Alastair's finally seen Princess Mononoke, while Nick's able to legally watch the fifth season of Harley Quinn at long last.

MFV #264 - This film is extremely cinema
2026/04/09

Also some bonus chat about Stranger Things season 5 and Project Hail Mary. Impressively, this podcast won't give away the big reveal in The Drama, but does include some broad Stranger Things spoilers.
