Tue, 10 Sep 2024 - 1h 17min - 348 - Hibernophobia in Fantasy
On this episode of Sure Look, Sure Listen, we take a look at the dodgy world of Irish coding your villains and characters in Fantasy settings, starting with the booming popularity of Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses, or as Ben calls it; fairy smut. We take a look at the problematic way in which the author bases her fictional worlds of Hybern and Prythian on real Irish and British History and Geography. This in itself isn't bad but the framing of Irish coded characters as savageand ruddyfeels like a clear call back to the grim old days of rampant Hibernophobia, Paddywhackery and Stage Irishness.
This leads into a discussion of a few dodgy representations of Irishness in Fantasy settings, including the Harfoots in Rings of Power and Mad Sweeney in American Gods.
Following that, Mick reviews the inexplicably real Rings of Powerseason 2 and gives a masterclass in rolling your R's. We also take a look at Halle Berry's latest horror flick, where a rope is the main character in Never Let Go.Finally, we wrap up with a look at Sonic 3's trailer, and do a quick deep dive into Doctor Robotnik's rocky coming to America.

Sabretooth is back ruining Wolverine’s life. What’s the chip on his shoulder? Also, Dune is back!
This week we took a look at the latest adaptation of 'The Crow', examining the slim, muscular new lead that's stirring up nostalgia and controversy alike. Is is too Jared Leto or just the same as it ever was? Next, we delve into 'The Watchers' trailers, pondering over who really watches those who watch us (it's aliens). The main villain of the new Shyamalan venture seems to be the Irish Seaside town of Bray.
We're almost certain that we've heard of the story ofI Saw The TV Glowbefore on Creepy Pasta, we do a quick delve into the truly terrifying world of Candle Cove and how it might have inspired the latest A24 horror venture.
Most importantly, Dune is back! Mick has seen Dune 2and Denis Villeneuve has done it again, delivering a belter of an adaptation of the Frank Herbert classic. But has he changed too much?
But that's not all – the episode also tackles the age-old feud between Wolverine and Sabretooth, exploring its roots and current implications in comic book history. With Michael and Benjamin's insightful commentary, learn about the significance of this rivalry and its impact on Wolverine's narrative arc.

With Twisters rapidly approaching, Mick and Ben take a look at Twister, the Jan de Bont classic from 1996.
Join us as we unravel the whirlwind adventure of the 1996 blockbuster hit, "Twister," in a way you've never heard before.
Discover how "Twister" defies the typical disaster movie blueprint by presenting Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton's characters as equals in intellect and bravery, setting a new standard for on-screen partnerships. We dissect the film's revolutionary approach to its female protagonist, celebrating her as the driving force behind the narrative, a rare feat in the genre's landscape.
Uncover the layers of authenticity that make "Twister" a timeless classic, from its realistic depiction of storm chasers to the emotional depth embedded in the storyline. Our hosts, along with special guests from the fields of meteorology, film criticism, and gender studies, delve into how these elements blend to create a narrative that's as emotionally gripping as it is thrilling.
Expect an electrifying discussion on the film's contribution to changing stereotypes, its impact on the portrayal of scientists in cinema, and how its legacy continues to resonate in the hearts of movie lovers and storm enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious newcomer, "Twisting the Narrative" offers fresh insights and fascinating tidbits about the film that brought the power of the twister to the big screen.
If that wasn't enough, we react to the trailers of the week; H. Jon Benjamin gives Bill Skarsgaard's young assassin an insane inner monologue. Cate Blanchett has been forced to Participate in Borderlands for some reason, and we'd love to know what dirt Eli Roth has on her. Alex Garland is back doing his best William Golding impression in Civil War from A24 and much much more.

Welcome to the first 2024 episode of "Sure Look, Sure Listen," the podcast taking a pop at culture.

But that's not all. We pose a crucial question: Is pop culture dead? In a world brimming with remakes and reboots, what is the state of creativity and originality in entertainment?
