About this listen

 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.Nick Bryan and Alastair JR Ball Art

    Apr 9 2026

    This fortnight, in a slight change to the advertised programme (after an unexpected trip to the cinema), we cover new dark romcom The Drama (19:00) and recent BBC folklore adventure Small Prophets (31:41).

    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.
