This fortnight, it’s the 10th anniversary of Moderate Fantasy Violence! Somehow Nick and Alastair have done this for a whole decade, and obviously, they celebrate by doing one of their double-recommendation episodes, this time focusing on releases from within the last ten years.
Nick’s suggested hot new comic series Absolute Batman (16:15) while Alastair’s plunging you into The Backrooms (34:30), the YouTube series by Kane PIxels about to become a movie from A24. If this chat makes you want to enter The Backrooms, here’s the playlist.
Plus bonus chat about Train Dreams, the next movie in the Oscar marathon, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3.
Nick’s latest comic on Kickstarter, the second volume of The Collected Letters of Courier Z, is open for prelaunch signups here, if you want to really make sure you’re ready.
