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

    Jun 4 2026

    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.
