The Exorcist

Trigger Warning – Since we’re talking about The Exorcist, expect descriptions of scenes of gore, religious and sexual imagery, and harm to a minor.

With that being said, we are back! Finally, Marc has watched the horror movie classic The Exorcist, Gav’s favourite horror movie and novel!

For the Love of Fiction
Top Ten - The Year In Fiction 1983

Welcome to For The Love Of Fiction!


Childhood trauma, nearly falling out over the greatestBritish comedies of all time, awkwardly dancing around politically correct topics, parenting versus literature, a complete disrespect toward classic British literature, imagery vs expositional dialogue in modern film, all in a days workfor Marc and Gav in their latest Best of Year Top ten, this time, 1983!

Ten Of The Best Superman Stories

Maybe its an apology for the audio of the last episode, but what I can safely say is that covering the Man of Steel in just one episode does not do him justice (pun intended) so to further pick co-host Marc's comic book-brain, here are ten of his personal favourite Superman comic book stories

For the Love of Fiction
The Left Hand Of Darkness

Welcome to For The Love Of Fiction
A return to literary conversation this week as Marcand Gav discuss the seminal feminist science fiction masterpiece The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) by Ursula K. Le Guin and her own critical essay, Is Gender Necessary?


Due to how forward thinking this classic novel was about gender issues, there will be some discussion about the topic so if you are not that way inclined, stay clear!

WrestleMania 41

Welcome to For The Love Of Fiction!

After a small break due to life, Marc and Gav return with a rough and ready review of WrestleMania 41.

A quick and dirty episode to get us back on track, quite a bit of swearing in this one. Must have been the drink and how AWFUL some elements of WrestleMania 41 really were.

Jerry Goldsmith - Film Score Focus

In the first of our ongoing series covering our favourite film composers, myself and Marc look into the life and work of one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century and likely the creator of a multitude of scores that you already know, not knowing they were created by him.


And Star Trek of course!


This episode is very much an experiment so give it a chance.


Rather than running a top ten, I've selected ten of his best soundtracks and included some of his music too.


Enjoy!

For the Love of Fiction
For the Love of Star Wars: Part One (+special guest, CriticAl Reviews)

Welcome to For the Love of Star Wars, the first of our ongoing series discussing the titular franchise. For such a special occasion, we decided to enlist our first ever special guest, Allen from CriticAL Reviews. Even more momentous is the length of this episode! It's a record breaker at 4 hours so please use the chapters when you need to.


I almost feel bad. Actually, no I don't.


As this was the first time we had a guest, it was also the first time I had to manage and edit three voices, three passionate voices too. Please excuse any talking over each other that got through the edit. I listened to this thing for EIGHT hours. That's enough for me!


Anyway some wild takes in this one. The Black Knight from Monty Python, Disney Princesses, and tribalism, its all very fast and intense. Lots of chat about Joseph Campbell's Hero of a Thousand Faces too.


Thanks for listening!

For the Love of Fiction
Portal/Bioshock

Welcome to For the Love of Fiction and our third video games themed episode where myself and Marc chat about two absolute classics, Portal and Bioshock. It turns out that both of these games have a lot of common in the way theytell their story, there is much discussion about video games as narrative devices, video games as movies, unreliable narrators and the place of exposition in the medium. Plus, thanks to Bioshock, Gav gets to bring up Jeff Noon, Ayn Rand and erm... Sharky and George?

The Shining Novel and Movie - Halloween Special

Trigger warning, with this episode we discuss elements of alcoholism and mental health issues some may find upsetting.

For our Halloween special, Marc decided to chose a film for us to watch and discuss. A film he thought he had seen, which in fact he had not! The Shining. Later, the guys review Doctor Sleep and Gav rants at the unoriginality of cinema today. Oh dear.

For the Love of Fiction
The Cyberpunk Collection! - Neuromancer/Ghost in the Shell

Welcome to For the Love of Fiction!

A personal project with episode 22, dedicated to the genre of Cyberpunk! Marc and Gav chat about how the genre came about, its defining features and its most important novel, William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984)

As an aside they also review the 1995 film adaption of the short story that predates the novel, Johnny Mnemonic.

Then, the guys chat about the Cyberpunk manga classic, Ghost in the Shell by Masamune Shirow (1989), the original anime film adaption from 1995 by Mamoru Oshi, and the 2017 Live action version by Rupert Saunders.

I just noticed that both of these film adaptions originally came out in 1995. Weird. One is definitely better than the other, and one had more input from the original author than the other!

Anyway thanks for listening and please follow and rate us!

Joker Special

Welcome to For the Love of Fiction

With the impending release of Joker Folie a Deux we decided to record an episode dedicated the Clown Prince of Crime himself, including a bit of a retrospective on his history, our favourite comic outings, some of the phenomenal actors that have portrayed him on screen and finally, a review of Todd Phillips' 2019 Joker.

It's a big one, but to celebrate such an incredible cultural icon, it had to be.
