Sure Look, Sure Listen Michael and Benjamin

In today's episode of "Sure Look Sure Listen," we mark the passing of Bernard Hill, whose portrayal of Théoden in "The Lord of the Rings" left an indelible mark on cinema.
Join us as we react to the latest trailer for "Atlas" and ponder whether JLo's foray into mech action suits her. Then we dive into the trailer for the new season of "The Boys," debating whether the series can maintain its explosive narrative and incisive social commentary.
We also review "The Fall Guy," discussing whether the Gosling-Blunt dynamic lights up the screen with their romantic and comedic chop.
Don't miss our review of "Xmen '97: Tolerance is Extinction," where themes of fear and acceptance take centre stage, presenting a provocative exploration of societal issues as per usual. Finally, we explore the origins of the occult detective genre, linking it back to pop culture’s enduring fascination with the supernatural and its influence on contemporary media.

In this week's episode, we take a look at the way in which the hopes and fears surrounding the atomic bomb have shaped a good chunk of sci-fi over the last 80 years, from Asimov to Alan Moore. Before we get to that though, there are a host of trailers to react to. We have a bizarre prequel to the lion king in Mufasa, which begs the question; who asked for this to be made. Then Russell Crowe continues his exorcising priest streak with the meta layered The Exorcism trailer. Finally, a week later, and almost certainly too late, we review the new Deadpool and Wolverine trailer, attempting to deconstruct some of the bizarre cameos and easter eggs littered throughout.
That's not all, though. Ben managed to watch The Dead Boy Detectives, the new netflix spinoff for their Sandman universe. It is one of the most frustrating shows with good bones but squandered potential that Ben has ever seen. Then the review of yet another fabulous episode of X-men '97 and a deep dive into its mysterious new villain, Bastion.
To top it all off, we take a look at the influence of the Atomic Bomb on our pop culture. We cover everything from Foundation, to Fallout, to Watchmen and Beyond.
