Asteroid City (2023)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/02/17

This week we finish off our UFO miniseries with the long overdue Eye of the Duck debut of Wes Anderson! ASTEROID CITY asks all the big questions from we’ve been trying to answer since we began this miniseries back in the summer: where do aliens come from? Why are they here? What do they want from us?! And was it really just Jeff Goldblum in a latex suit all along?

Nope (2022)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/02/10

It’s the penultimate film of our UFO invasion series and the only one to feature an evil monkey, a suicidal cinematographer, and a nasty alien thing called “jean jacket.” Oh, and Osgood Perkins! Jordan Peele’s latest big budget spectacle has so much to say. But does it all come together in the end? We tried our best to find some answers without getting chewed up and spit out by the cowboy hat monster.

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/02/03

It's literally impossible. But it's literally what we're covering this week on the show. Welcome to The Shimmer. Joining us for some very sobering (and demented) meditations on Alex Garland's UFO thriller is returning guest, Jefferson White! He's no stranger to Garland's work, having appeared in the director's most recent film, CIVIL WAR. And we're thrilled to have him here to answer some of our weirdest questions about Garland and this mysterious film.

This week we gain two new friends…and bring an old one back! It’s Abbott, Costello, and returning champion Sarah Welch-Larson for the most requested film in Eye of the Duck history! ARRIVAL is a dense one, but luckily Sarah has the linguistic expertise to help us unlock the mystery of the heptapods and save planet earth from itself.

A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: Remembering David...

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/01/20

This week we are pausing our release schedule to pay tribute to the godfather of our podcast, the late, great David Lynch. Usually on our show, we talk about movie scenes. But for this dedication, we've selected a handful of clips of Lynch–the man, not his movies–to discuss. It's our hope that by sharing his voice, and connecting over his philosophy, all of us can find some comfort in the tragedy of his passing.

Under the Skin (2014)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/01/13

This week we venture deep into the abyss for Jonathan Glazer’s unnerving science fiction masterpiece, the only movie on earth that is somehow equal parts NATHAN FOR YOU and 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. How does this film even exist? What happens in that dark room? Is it all as real as it looks? Listeners, we tried our best to find some answers for you.

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2025/01/06

We are officially one flavor away from completing the Cornetto trilogy! It’s Edgar Wright’s thrilling and deliciously stupid body snatcher comedy this week, the third in our series to feature Mr. Nick Frost. Coming along for our apocalyptic hometown pub crawl is returning guest, Ethan Warren. Is this the perfect ending to the only film trilogy based on ice cream? Listen to find out.

Attack the Block (2011)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/12/30

The aliens may be fuzzy this week… but they’re also very scary and mean. It’s our first Joe Cornish movie, and one of the great science fiction films of the 21st century! Topics discussed this week: the high expectations for Cornish’s career, the STRANGER THINGSification of all media, whether or not Terry Notary was indeed the Silver Surfer in FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER, and we try to answer the question, why aren’t these hairy aliens wet?

Super 8 (2011)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/12/23

It’s mint! This week we hang out with a crew of teenage filmmakers…and one very big scary tarantula alien-looking guy. It’s JJ Abram’s big budget 70s throwback adventure, with a hint of BLOW-UP, and a whole lot of Spielberg influence. It’s the final Amblin movie of our series!

Paul (2011)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/12/16

Listeners, you didn’t ask for it, but we did it anyway. This week it’s the one alien we specifically promised we wouldn’t talk about…and he’s chill as hell. Topics covered in our very deep dive of PAUL: Seth Rogen’s new show that seems dangerously similar to ENTOURAGE, whether or not Paul smells like shit, and of course, Grandpa Stevey Spielberg.

District 9 (2009)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/12/09

Can aliens and humans co-exist on this Earth? What happens when you squirt a can of alien jet fuel in your eye? This week we find out. It’s Neil Blomkamp’s debut feature, where action blockbuster meets guerrilla-style documentary. Can you believe this is Sharlto Copley’s first acting job?! Also, where the hell is DISTRICT 10?!

Slither (2006)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/12/02

It's James Gunn week on the pod, and we're (finally) talking about the DC Studio head and his origins as a down-and-dirty genre guy. Between the mouth-stuffing slugs and Michael Rooker's lovably demented performance as a human meat volcano, SLITHER has a little bit of everything. And we're all for it.

War of the Worlds (2005) with Patrick Willems

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

Signs (2002)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/11/18

The 2000s have officially arrived, and they’ve brought invisible flying saucers, depressed reverends, and some very mean green creatures who hate water. It’s our very first M. Night Shyamalan movie this week, and a favorite of UFO heads and baseball fans alike. Swing away!

The Faculty (1998)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/11/11

Teachers stink! It’s our very first Robert Rodriguez joint this week. And perhaps the most ‘90s movie ever made. Come for the deep dive on alien imposter horror…and stay for the very academic discussion of Josh Hartnett’s terrible haircut.

Men in Black (1997)

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/11/04

The Willenium is here, y’all. We’re hitting yet another Will Smith classic this week with the Barry Sonnenfeld buddy-alien-cop caper, MEN IN BLACK. Aliens are here among us, and it turns out, the majority of them are weird little guys who live inside other bigger weirder guys. Listen in before we all get neutralized.

We're fighting for our right to live this week! It may not be July but we are very much celebrating Roland Emmerich's All-American UFO disaster epic that's sometimes called "ID4." Joining us is returning champion and co-host of the very good Die Hard on a Blank podcast, Liam Billingham! Want to know why the heck this film is called ID4? Free yourself from annihilation and listen in!

Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast ·

2024/10/14

This week, we’re going full tin foil hat mode to investigate the mysterious (and “true”) abduction of Travis Walton. Did he really get probed? Are polygraph tests conclusive? Why didn’t Henry Thomas get any lines in this movie?! Joining us to answer these questions and more is our old friend and co-host of the Mostly Horror podcast, Sean Parker!
