About Moderate Fantasy Violence

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.

   MFV #276 - Are you Alastair?

   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.

   MFV #275 - The raw soggy stuff

   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.
