What is a good death when your God has abandoned you? TOY STORY 3 is courageous enough to explore such questions (insane!!) so we tried our best to contend with them here too on Week 3 of our miniseries. But do we have the courage to leave our beloved Andy behind? Listen to find out. Happy Holidays from Eye of the Duck.

How can you watch a TOY STORY movie and not completely emotionally unravel? This week we find ourselves, our trauma, and the value of accepting love in TOY STORY 2. Really, we do. Why do these movies do this to us? Please write in if you have these answers. Best,

TOYS!! And returning champion Stephen Hilger is back! 

Welcome to the premiere of our December/January miniseries, BEYOND INFINITY. The TOY STORY franchise may seem like a weird choice since we mostly do sci-fi / horror here at Eye of the Duck. But any true Pixar head knows Toy Story is among the scariest series of all...the toys are alive (??!)

That's a wrap on our Romero series! No more zombies. For now. 2023 will be all mummies, all the time! That's right, Eye of the Mummy will be our next miniseries. Just kidding...or are we? You'll have to listen in to find out.

Bonus #3! It’s Dan O’Bannon’s gnarly punk rock black comedy, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. This week is one of those Siskel and Ebert episodes — we disagree so fundamentally about the meaning of O’Bannon’s film that it threatens to bring down the podcast entirely. Brains!

At long last, we’ve arrived at the end of Romero’s run of (not) zombie movies. This week our old friend Sarah Welch-Larson joins the pod again to help us give us a fond farewell to the perhaps the most legendary figure in horror movie history. But don’t worry–we’re not done with zombies yet!

I bet you didn’t know George Romero made a god dang found footage film. Yeah. We didn’t either! This week, we’re joined by horror experts and new friends Sean Parker and Steve Goldberg of the Mostly Horror podcast to unpack the incredibly daring (and bizarre) late-career zombie thriller, DIARY OF THE DEAD. Which, technically, is a student film (?)

Romero returns! After exactly 20 years, the master of (not) zombie movies helps resurrect the genre for the modern day. And we’re going to talk about it! With our new friend and fellow podcaster, Trey Flynn of the excellent Extra Credits Podcast.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! For our second and final bonus of our FALL OF THE DEAD miniseries, we are exploring the very un-Romero reboot(?) of DAWN OF THE DEAD, directed by our old friend, Zack Snyder. Yes, we're doing another Snyder Cut this week! But watch out. These zombies run fast. And some of them look like Jay Leno. Anyway, enjoy your candy!!!!!

We're coming to get you, Barbara! This week we are NOT saying the "zed word" OR talking about a George A. Romero film. It's Edgar Wright's exquisitely funny zombie satire, SHAUN OF THE DEAD. Joining us for our first bonus episode of FALL OF THE DEAD is returning guest, writer, and film podcaster of Letterboxd's Weekend Watchlist, Mia Vicino!
