Exploring Cursed Objects in Pop Culture | Sure Look, Sure Listen Ep. 158

In this episode of 'Sure Look, Sure Listen,' Mick and Ben look at one of their favourite plot devices in fiction; the concept of cursed objects in pop culture. They discuss various films, series, and even podcasts that feature cursed artifacts, from 'The Ring' to 'The Magnus Archives.' They also chat about loads of new releases and trailers, including a less than timely review of Smile 2, an introduction to the debut DCU James Gunn animated outing 'Creature Commandos,' and the new show 'Black Doves.' Lastly, they speculate on the upcoming Apple TV movie, 'The Gorge,' starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller. Tune in for a blend of humour, horror, and insightful commentary on all things pop culture!
