2025/11/03

Try to remember these times, listeners. Some of the best nights of our lives were being had in parking lots.When Connor O’Malley brings a couple DV cameras to the suburban abyss of Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, we simply have no choice but to watch. It’s somehow the culmination of every found footage film we covered in this series, and also one of the funniest feature-length films ever uploaded directly to YouTube… or anywhere, for the matter.It’s RAP WORLD, baby. And we’re living in it!Next week we wrap

It’s Late Night with Abraxas! Hosted by the one and only…. Mr. Wriggles! This week we’re filming one VERY cursed television broadcast in front of a live studio audience!

Host (2020)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/10/13

We are so back! It’s the worst pandemic in modern history, and we couldn’t be more excited (and terrified) to be trapped on a Zoom call with you (and a demon) again.Lockdown-era movies have been pretty unimpressive so far, but HOST is a VERY notable exception. This Zoom call has everything! A mopey quarantine boyfriend, a naughty grandpa, and… oh god is that a disembodied facetune filter?Next week, we’ve got two tickets to the most satanic talk show in television -- it’s LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL

Searching (2018)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/10/06

The screen is life! The found footage genre infects MacOS this week with a truly horrific story of parenting, grief, and, of course, screens!!Is John Cho the most oblivious father in movie history? Or is the internet a terrible place that preys on society’s most vulnerable youths? Probably a little of both… but hey, at least we still had Addicting Games Dot Com!Next week, we fall even deeper into the screen abyss for Rob Savage’s HOST (2020).

One Cut of the Dead (2017)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/09/29

There’s meta, and then there’s a movie thats so self-referential it basically takes place inside a Russian nesting doll. It’s the INCEPTION of the found footage genre!This week we’re getting to the center of a very, very crunchy tootsie pop. Another remarkable low-budget success story, ONE CUT is the type of movie that makes you want to pick up a camera and go shoot something… or behead some zombies. Either way, it’s inspiring stuff!!Next week we’re returning to the (nightmare) world of screenlife

Mark Duplass has entered the fray! And he is very, very creepy.This week we’re going deep on another found footage gem from the indie world. In what may be the only true “character study” of our series, Patrick Brice presents a new type of slasher… who simply won’t shut the fuck up.He’s Peachfuzz, and he may have therapy language, but he’s basically Psycho in a dollar store wolf costume.

This week we’re blasting off towards Jupiter for a one-of-a-kind outer space found footage experience.Sebastián Cordero’s 2013 sci-fi surveillance thriller was NOT originally on our miniseries radar.

Paranormal Activity (2009)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/08/11

Finally, a movie that proves why you should NEVER under any circumstances buy a Ouija Board! It’s Oren Peli’s found footage masterpiece, with a demon so scary that it literally convinced Steven Spielberg his office was haunted. Is PARANORMAL ACTIVITY the one true successor to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT? And is it better to live with a scary ghoul than a shitty day trader boyfriend? These questions and more, explored right here on Eye of the Duck.

Discussed on this episode: ethical video journalism, RESIDENT EVIL games, Catholicism, cinematographers with acting roles, and, of course, whether these
