Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast episodes

December 26, 2022Toy Story 3 (2010)
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.

December 19, 2022Toy Story 2 (1999)
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,

December 12, 2022Toy Story (1995) with Stephen Hilger (Into the Aether)
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 (??!)

December 05, 2022 Enough of the Dead
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.

November 28, 2022Return of the Living Dead (1985)
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!

November 21, 2022Survival of the Dead (2009) with Sarah Welch-Larson (Seeing and Believing/Bright Wall Dark Room)
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!

November 14, 2022Diary of the Dead (2007) with Sean Parker and Steve Goldberg (Mostly Horror)
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 (?)
