Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast

To the bat-tank! It's another bonus this week. Rachel Talalay's TANK GIRL may not exactly take place in George Miller's dystopian world...but it's close enough. This one has been a long time coming and we couldn't be more excited to talk kangaroo guys, Naomi Watts, and the manic pixie killing machine performance by Lori Petty.

Next week, we peel out of the Wasteland to announce the results of Miniseries MAYhem!! Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx

Camelot is a state of mind. And a bonus (!) episode for our Mad Max series! This week it's George A. Romero's criminally unappreciated KNIGHTRIDERS, a film about guys who joust on motorcycles. It sounds like madness, but it's actually a moving testament to artistic purity from one of cinema's most uncompromising visionaries. We love it! And we hope you will too.

Next week, we hit another bonus before returning to the Wasteland: Rachel Talalay's TANK GIRL (1995). Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx
