Episode 209: 'Don't Look at the Demon' (2023)/'The Banshees of Inisherin' (2022)
from Adventures in Movies! · host Blake Heath/Nathaniel Muir
The Super Bowl is coming up, and you will be surprised by our predictions for the big game. We also talk about the upcoming merger between Paramount+ and Showtime and the new and somber Fast X poster. Believe it or not, we are anticipating the majority of these things. So who is the odd duck?Don't Look at the Demon is an awful name of a movie. It is not as bad as changing Eight for Silver to The Cursed, but few titles are as generic. (We are looking at you A Killing in Virginia and other lazy names.) It also made strange casting decisions and completely ignores its setting.It also boasts strong performances, effective jump scares, and a demon that does not mess around. It even has a shower scene for old school horror fans! The story is cookie cutter as can be and the ending is laughably bad, but is there enough here for a person to enjoy?We step out of our wheelhouse and look at one of this year's Oscar nominees. The Banshees of Inisherin is funny, sad, poignant, and incredibly dark. There is no arguing how strength of the acting, but did the story take things too far? Is it truly worthy of an Academy Award, or is it lucky to be sniffing the rarified air of movies like Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar 2?Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
