Moderate Fantasy Violence Nick Bryan & Alastair JR Ball

- TV & Film
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 #216 - Hardcore Nominative Determinism
Whole new cinematic universes branch from the ground, as we cover Max Max prequel Furiosa (16:29) and Sandman-adjacent Netflix show Dead Boy Detectives (33:20).
If you're reading this within about 4 hours of the episode dropping, you can still back Nick's latest comics kickstarter The Collected Letters of Courier Z!

MFV #215 - Sweet innocent lovely corpse mutilation
This fortnight, two eagerly anticipated adaptations - the millennial-nostalgia event X-Men '97 (13:36) and post-apocalyptic video game series Fallout (27:28).
And remember you can still back Nick's Courier Z Kickstarter for another two weeks.

MFV #214 - The Meninist K-Hole
This fortnight, an exercise in extreme contrast with thoughtful historical drama Shogun (24:39) and cartoonish high school comedy Bottoms (40:18).
Meanwhile, Nick is back on Kickstarter with The Collected Letters of Courier Z, a series of stories about a space-postwoman turning to crime. Check that out here.

MFV #212 - EBV (Extreme Bloody Violence)
We make a mockery of our podcast name this fortnight, tackling two releases where the violence is definitely not moderate - Invincible season 2 (15:03) and Monkey Man (34:15).

Back to Nick's superhero territory this fortnight, with the second season of powers-focused sitcom Extraordinary (20:40) and the first two issues of the new Ultimate Spider-Man series (36:02) from Marvel Comics.
