There can only be one. And he's with us this week for HIGHLANDER! It's screenwriter, playwright, and co-host of the very good Die Hard on a Blank podcast, Philip Gawthorne. From bonkers accents, to decapitations, to the exact number of smashed planes of glass, we go long on what may very well be the most insane movie of the 1980s. The quickening is upon us.

[Whip sound!!!!] Today we rewind through a fissure in time and return to our Indiana Jones miniseries for one last movie. Joining us to explore DIAL OF DESTINY are returning guests, Griffin Newman and Connor Ratliff, who you might know as the hosts of The George Lucas Talk Show. Covered in this (very long) discussion: Griffin's franchise exhaustion, Connor's Indy watching order, the hubris of Disney's de-aging tech, the late careers of Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and, of course, the

Conan the Barbarian (1982)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2023/07/10

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of...it's the big one, duck-heads. John Milius's CONAN may not be the most subtle movie. But it's the start of something big, awesome, and unshakeable. Let us tell you of the days of high adventure!

Dragonslayer (1981)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2023/07/03

In the Dark Ages, Magic was a weapon, Love was a mystery, Adventure was everywhere... and Dragons were real. Today we lose our minds over Vermithrax Pejorative, the greatest Dragon in cinema history. And so will you.

Excalibur (1981)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2023/06/26

Podcasters of the round table, assemble. John Boorman's EXCALIBUR may be a bit grittier and more 1970s-esque than the bulk of the '80s Dark Fantasy films on our slate. But the genre (and many actors' careers) simply does not exist without it. Also, this technically counts as our second Grail quest movie.

WALL-E (2008)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2023/06/05

It's a classic romantic comedy. Lonely trash robot meets sentient space probe. You'll laugh. You'll cry. Your soul will be shattered and jettisoned into the abyss. Our last movie of Eye of the Duck: A Space Odyssey is WALL-E. So you know we had to leave you (and ourselves) in an emotional black hole. Thanks, Pixar.

The Martian (2015)

When Ridley Scott goes to space, we follow. That's just the rule of our podcast. If you're a longtime listener, a friend of the show, or just someone who's walked past us on the street, you can probably tell how important ALIEN is to our friendship. And this is as close as we're going to get to talking about our beloved Xenomorph in this space series. The question is, though, you can take the Xenomorph out of the Ridley Scott space movie, but can you take the space movie out of the Xenomorph

Hold on. There's a whole other movie from 1998 about a doomed crew rocketing to outer space to board an asteroid and cancel humanity's extinction? Really? From the SAME year? It just wouldn't be fair to do ARMAGEDDON without DEEP IMPACT. So here we are. And hey, Elijah Wood's in this one! Rad!

Event Horizon (1997)

2023/05/01

Ever watch a movie so satisfyingly repulsive that you have no choice but to claw your eyes out and enter a chaos dimension? We have. If you haven't watched EVENT HORIZON, this is your chance. Come aboard the Lewis and Clark as we venture to Proxima Centauri and chant into an unfeeling void, "Libera Te Tutemet Ex Inferis." **Also, Adam has a lot to say about Paul W.S. Anderson's SHOPPING(!!?)
