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.

Episode fourteen! We break our format for the second podcast running, but first, discussion of recent activities involving Twin Peaks and the Hackney Visions festival!

And then we're into our reflections on the recent Nine Worlds geekfest event in London (4:08), including live on-site audio! Then it's time to review new superhero movie Suicide Squad (26:08) and take a look back at the whole first season of Preacher (49:57).

And lastly, as ever, Nick takes a look at Alastair's latest recommendation: Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City by Guy Delisle (67:07).

It's our thirteenth episode! We've done this for a whole half-year! What better way to mark the occasion than a massive batch of trailers from San Diego Comic Con and the third Sharknado movie?

We've also got our first ever guest on the show - we're talking Harry Potter And The Cursed Child (6:47). Nick saw the play but Alastair didn't, so booktuber and mega-Potter-fan Claire Rousseau is here to tell us her feelings. There's a quick no-plot-details opinion-summary at the start, then anyone avoiding spoilers should jump to 46:35, where Nick and Alastair review Star Trek Beyond in the regular MFV way.

If you enjoy Claire's appearance, you can find her talking about books on YouTube by searching her name, or at ClaireRousseau.com or @ClaireRousseau on Twitter.

And finally, Nick recommends Alastair the video-game-folk-music of Rebecca Mayes (58:29). Is it his sort of thing, or are we headed for another Lebowski-esque clash?
