Asteroid City (2023) 2:06:06

2d ago2:06:06

2:06:06

This week we finish off our UFO miniseries with the long overdue Eye of the Duck debut of Wes Anderson! ASTEROID CITY asks all the big questions from we’ve been trying to answer since we began this miniseries back in the summer: where do aliens come from? Why are they here? What do they want from us?! And was it really just Jeff Goldblum in a latex…

Nope (2022) 2:16:27

9d ago2:16:27

2:16:27

It’s the penultimate film of our UFO invasion series and the only one to feature an evil monkey, a suicidal cinematographer, and a nasty alien thing called “jean jacket.” Oh, and Osgood Perkins! Jordan Peele’s latest big budget spectacle has so much to say. But does it all come together in the end? We tried our best to find some answers without get…

Annihilation (2018) with Jefferson White 2:15:09

16d ago2:15:09

2:15:09

It's literally impossible. But it's literally what we're covering this week on the show. Welcome to The Shimmer. Joining us for some very sobering (and demented) meditations on Alex Garland's UFO thriller is returning guest, Jefferson White! He's no stranger to Garland's work, having appeared in the director's most recent film, CIVIL WAR. And we're…

Arrival (2016) with Sarah Welch-Larson 2:39:38

23d ago2:39:38

2:39:38

This week we gain two new friends…and bring an old one back! It’s Abbott, Costello, and returning champion Sarah Welch-Larson for the most requested film in Eye of the Duck history! ARRIVAL is a dense one, but luckily Sarah has the linguistic expertise to help us unlock the mystery of the heptapods and save planet earth from itself. Next week we tr…

A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: Remembering David Lynch 1:12:56

1M ago1:12:56

1:12:56

This week we are pausing our release schedule to pay tribute to the godfather of our podcast, the late, great David Lynch. Usually on our show, we talk about movie scenes. But for this dedication, we've selected a handful of clips of Lynch–the man, not his movies–to discuss. It's our hope that by sharing his voice, and connecting over his philosoph…

Under the Skin (2014) 2:10:50

1M ago2:10:50

2:10:50

This week we venture deep into the abyss for Jonathan Glazer’s unnerving science fiction masterpiece, the only movie on earth that is somehow equal parts NATHAN FOR YOU and 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. How does this film even exist? What happens in that dark room? Is it all as real as it looks? Listeners, we tried our best to find some answers for you. N…

The World's End (2013) with Ethan Warren 1:58:44

1M ago1:58:44

1:58:44

We are officially one flavor away from completing the Cornetto trilogy! It’s Edgar Wright’s thrilling and deliciously stupid body snatcher comedy this week, the third in our series to feature Mr. Nick Frost. Coming along for our apocalyptic hometown pub crawl is returning guest, Ethan Warren. Is this the perfect ending to the only film trilogy base…

Attack the Block (2011) 1:55:01

2M ago1:55:01

1:55:01

The aliens may be fuzzy this week… but they’re also very scary and mean. It’s our first Joe Cornish movie, and one of the great science fiction films of the 21st century! Topics discussed this week: the high expectations for Cornish’s career, the STRANGER THINGSification of all media, whether or not Terry Notary was indeed the Silver Surfer in FANT…

Super 8 (2011) 2:22:13

2M ago2:22:13

2:22:13

It’s mint! This week we hang out with a crew of teenage filmmakers…and one very big scary tarantula alien-looking guy. It’s JJ Abram’s big budget 70s throwback adventure, with a hint of BLOW-UP, and a whole lot of Spielberg influence. It’s the final Amblin movie of our series! Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord https://discord.com/invite/R…

Paul (2011) 2:06:11

2M ago2:06:11

2:06:11

Listeners, you didn’t ask for it, but we did it anyway. This week it’s the one alien we specifically promised we wouldn’t talk about…and he’s chill as hell. Topics covered in our very deep dive of PAUL: Seth Rogen’s new show that seems dangerously similar to ENTOURAGE, whether or not Paul smells like shit, and of course, Grandpa Stevey Spielberg. N…

District 9 (2009) 1:59:33

2M ago1:59:33

1:59:33

Can aliens and humans co-exist on this Earth? What happens when you squirt a can of alien jet fuel in your eye? This week we find out. It’s Neil Blomkamp’s debut feature, where action blockbuster meets guerrilla-style documentary. Can you believe this is Sharlto Copley’s first acting job?! Also, where the hell is DISTRICT 10?! Next week we come fac…

Slither (2006) 1:59:33

3M ago1:59:33

1:59:33

It's James Gunn week on the pod, and we're (finally) talking about the DC Studio head and his origins as a down-and-dirty genre guy. Between the mouth-stuffing slugs and Michael Rooker's lovably demented performance as a human meat volcano, SLITHER has a little bit of everything. And we're all for it. Next week, we take a trip down to Johannesburg …

War of the Worlds (2005) with Patrick Willems 2:58:24

3M ago2:58:24

We are so back! It’s the finale (?) of the Spielberg UFO invasion trilogy this week. Joining us once again to talk Grandpa Steve, Tom Cruise, and Janusz Kamiński, is returning champion Patrick Willems!

Signs (2002) 2:17:04

3M ago2:17:04

2:17:04

The 2000s have officially arrived, and they’ve brought invisible flying saucers, depressed reverends, and some very mean green creatures who hate water. It’s our very first M. Night Shyamalan movie this week, and a favorite of UFO heads and baseball fans alike. Swing away! Next week, we round out the Spielberg alien invasion trilogy with WAR OF THE…

The Faculty (1998) 1:57:22

3M ago1:57:22

1:57:22

Teachers stink! It’s our very first Robert Rodriguez joint this week. And perhaps the most ‘90s movie ever made. Come for the deep dive on alien imposter horror…and stay for the very academic discussion of Josh Hartnett’s terrible haircut. Next week, it’s another first for us — M. Night Shyamalan! We’re unrolling our tinfoil hats for one of his all…

Men in Black (1997) 2:41:02

4M ago2:41:02

2:41:02

The Willenium is here, y’all. We’re hitting yet another Will Smith classic this week with the Barry Sonnenfeld buddy-alien-cop caper, MEN IN BLACK. Aliens are here among us, and it turns out, the majority of them are weird little guys who live inside other bigger weirder guys. Listen in before we all get neuralyzed. Next week, it’s another gnarly c…

Independence Day (1996) with Liam Billingham (Die Hard on a Blank) 2:44:52

4M ago2:44:52

2:44:52

We're fighting for our right to live this week! It may not be July but we are very much celebrating Roland Emmerich's All-American UFO disaster epic that's sometimes called "ID4." Joining us is returning champion and co-host of the very good Die Hard on a Blank podcast, Liam Billingham! Want to know why the heck this film is called ID4? Free yourse…

Fire in the Sky (1993) with Sean Parker (Mostly Horror) 2:34:48

4M ago2:34:48

2:34:48

This week, we’re going full tin foil hat mode to investigate the mysterious (and “true”) abduction of Travis Walton. Did he really get probed? Are polygraph tests conclusive? Why didn’t Henry Thomas get any lines in this movie?! Joining us to answer these questions and more is our old friend and co-host of the Mostly Horror podcast, Sean Parker! Ne…

The Abyss (1989) 3:07:45

5M ago3:07:45

3:07:45

Surprise! We didn’t originally have a James Cameron alien movie on the list for this miniseries…but then we fell into an abyssal trench. And we found some non terrestrial intelligence down here! We simply could not pass up the chance to explore the depths of a production so notoriously grueling, Cameron himself described it as his “nightmare.” So c…

They Live (1988) 1:47:16

5M ago1:47:16

1:47:16

What if aliens were already here? And all it took to see them was a pair of very rad 80s sunglasses? The Prince of Darkness returns one last time to answer these questions and more. And he’s bringing mullets, chewing gum, and Rowdy Roddy Piper with him. Next week, it’s a slight change of course! We’re going deep into an abyssal trench for a surpris…

Cocoon (1985) 1:56:42

5M ago1:56:42

1:56:42

There are alien cocoons in the pool! And they’re making the old people horny! Our hot streak of iconic directors continues this week with this weird and wonderful sci fi classic from Ron Howard. It’s COCOON, and yes, Wilford Brimley is surprisingly young in it. Next week, we return to the dark world of John Carpenter with THEY LIVE (1988). Join the…

Starman (1984) with Nik Long 2:04:29

5M ago2:04:29

2:04:29

The master of horror returns! John Carpenter may not be known for his romantic road comedies…but STARMAN is a damn fine (albeit underrated) gem. Joining us to spread the gospel of Carpenter is our old friend, assistant programmer, and digital producer (!) Nik Long.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) 2:02:04

6M ago2:02:04

2:02:04

It's pod people, pop psychologists, mud baths, and one very grumpy health inspector this week. Philip Kaufman's iconic remake is bursting with 1970s cooky vibes, courtesy of Michael Chapman's singular cinematography, and Leonard Nimoy's very small leather glove. Best remake of all time? Next week we're going for what may be the biggest alien movie …

After Hours - Alien: Romulus (2024) 2:11:53

2:11:53

Surprise! We are interrupting our regularly scheduled broadcasting for a very special transmission: The perfect organism is back! And so are we. This week, we’ll be sharing our initial reactions to Fede Alvarez’s ALIEN: ROMULUS. No production history or duck scenes. Just raw, unfiltered Xenomorph worship. That’s right. It’s Xenomorph Summer again, …

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 2:42:19

6M ago2:42:19

2:42:19

Grandpa Steve is back, and he's brought all kinds of funny little guys with him this time! Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS may have been overshadowed in its time by the likes of a small space opera movie called STAR WARS...but here at Eye of the Duck, we couldn't be more excited to celebrate all its hopeful (and neurotic) wonder. Next week, it's the i…

The Blob (1958) 1:47:17

6M ago1:47:17

1:47:17

It's a glob, it's a mass, it's Steve McQueen? In a sci fi movie?! Yes it's THE BLOB. While Americans were eating weird amounts of gelatin at their dinner tables, a gooey monster from outer space was pouring into their movie theaters and consuming them all. This may be our only "B-movie" type alien movie in our Invasion miniseries, but it's by no me…

Knightriders (1981) 2:12:18

8M ago2:12:18

2:12:18

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…
