Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast

We all knew this day would come. You could call this a bonus. You could call it a swerve. But, listeners, let's be honest with ourselves. Jason X was going to happen on this podcast someday. And that day is today.

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(!!?)

Murph. We're coming home. Join us this week for one of those "this is why we started this podcast" kind of episodes.

It's no coincidence that Nolan's space epic is coming up right smack dab in the middle of our miniseries. INTERSTELLAR somehow encompasses every space movie ever made...and yet it still manages to be such a singular achievement in the genre. So you better believe we went long this week!

This is a space movie! It may only spend a total of like 20 minutes in outer space…but it still counts!

For our first ever Robert Zemeckis film, we’re hanging out with Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, and a very prominent Bill Clinton down on Earth, trying to decode a (potentially problematic) broadcast from far above.

Is this a bonus episode? Even we’re not completely sure.

Brad Pitt is a superhero. His superpower? Depression. On this week's episode, we travel to the outer limits of our solar system in search of a very, very, bad dad. A "bad dad-stra," if you will. Really, though, As far as space movies go, it doesn't get much better than this one.

Ryan Gosling in space. Ryan. Gosling. In. Space. How did this movie not blow up?

On today's episode, we're embarking on the Apollo 11 mission, venturing deep into the abyss of lunar craters both vast and impossibly lonely.

Not to spoil anything, but this is one of those movies that makes us remember why we started this podcast in the first place.
