We have some wild news to announce!! Eye of the Duck has joined the Morbid Podcast Network! Our podcast is now available ad-free for Wondery Media subscribers and on Amazon Music.

What does this mean for the future of our show? Well, for starters, it gives us resources to make the best podcast we can make. The feed will remain the same on all podcast platforms––but Amazon/Wondery listeners will get episodes a week early.

A HUGE thanks to Wondery, Amazon Music, and especially Ash and Alaina at Morbid for taking a chance on our little show.

Griffin Newman returns to Eye of the Duck this week for Pixar’s LIGHTYEAR! And just to be clear, this isn’t a podcast about Buzz Lightyear, the toy. This is a podcast about the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on.

Bonus!! This week we depart the Pixar studio to answer the question, What if Raytheon manufactured children’s toys? It’s Joe Dante’s SMALL SOLDIERS. And we’ll (probably) never get another movie like it. Because everything else is just a toy!

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!
