Thank you Sal Saperstein! Seth Rogen is rolling in Emmy wins for THE STUDIO and we’re here for it! This week on Patreon we’re sorting through a minefield of industry news and going long on some recent TV faves including the eyeball guy from ALIEN: EARTH! patreon.com/eyeoftheduck...

Grandma’s home! This week, it's Shyamalan’s ticket out of director jail, and we’re paying him a visit with THE VISIT!

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: The Visit (2015) Dir. M. Night Shyamalan With this self-financed found footage horror movie about two kids visiting their grandparents, Shyamalan the Comeback Kid *literally* bet the house on resurrecting his career — and won.

“[Duplass] simply bought a mask, followed his instinct, and ‘started playing.’” — @adamvole.com From The Blair Witch Project all the way to Creep, found footage has demonstrated that “the process is the art” perhaps better than any other genre we’ve covered on the show

What if there was a very creepy guy? This week on the Patreon, we're reckoning with that truly terrifying idea, and checking out CREEP 2 as well as THE CREEP TAPES! Also, there's a Monster Mash™ brewing over on ALIEN: EARTH and we're here for it! patreon.com/eyeoftheduck...

Finally a movie about the dangers of a career in freelance cinematography

Mark Duplass has entered the fray! And he is very, very CREEPy. This week we’re going deep on another found footage gem from the indie world. In maybe only true “character study” of our series, Patrick Brice presents a new type of slasher… one who simply won’t shut the f*ck up.

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: Creep (2014) Dir. Patrick Brice Mark Duplass stars in a movie about the perils of accepting a filming gig off Craigslist — something we’re VERY familiar with!

“You brought violence on us.” Did they though?? Like @dominicknero.bsky.social said – "I think if I started a cult, I simply wouldn't invite Vice to come interview me.” What do you think, do the dude-bro reporters bear any responsibility for what happened?

Holy sh*t, there was a screenlife movie in 2002? And it took place in @dominicknero.bsky.social's hometown?! This week on the Patreon we're exploring the forgotten computer screen horror THE COLLINGSWOOD STORY, as well as some new releases including RELAY and TOGETHER! patreon.com/eyeoftheduck...

Partake in The Sacrament

It’s indie filmmaking Smash Bros this week with THE SACRAMENT! Ti West, Joe Swanberg, Kentucky Audley – everyone is here! And they’re all (probably) going to die!

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: The Sacrament (2014) Dir. Ti West Before his X trilogy, Ti West made a found footage movie a pair of Vice journalists investigating a cult. What could go wrong?

Every found footage film is in conversation with Blair Witch in one way or another — (SPOILER) EUROPA REPORT couldn't be further from the woods of Burkitsville, but when James, drifting off to space, apologizes to his family, even the *shot* is similar to Heather’s confessional

We are so back… in space! This week we’re blasting off towards Jupiter for a one-of-a-kind, outer space found footage experience. Sebastián Cordero’s 2013 sci-fi surveillance thriller EUROPA REPORT was NOT originally on our radar, but…

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: Europa Report (2013) Dir. Sebastián Cordero Surprise! At the recommendation of assistant programmer Nik, we're taking a trip back to space to find out exactly why the 2010 aliens warned us “ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA"

Something that’s come up every week in our found footage series — the best examples of the genre are the ones that commit to the bit and do it for real Watch Shelley Hennig describe how they pulled it off in UNFRIENDED, and check out our episode for a more in-depth breakdown!

It’s another week of corporate autocracy!! And not just in ALIEN: EARTH! This week on the Patreon, we’re doing a proper deep dive of Noah Hawley’s latest installment to the hallowed Xenomorph saga. And some (deeply troubling) industry news, too! patreon.com/eyeoftheduck...

We've officially logged on! This week we’re gazing into the blue light with our very first “screen life” movie, UNFRIENDED Have you ever Skyped with a demon? What if there was a goblin on your Facebook wall? Does anyone still even use Gchat? These websites and more, haunted on today’s episode

(Check your podcast feeds for a surprise!)

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky

CHRONICLE, a movie that asks the question: what if an asshole got superpowers? Would he save the world? Or just prank old ladies and do sick magic tricks to impress chicks at the talent show?

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: Chronicle (2012) Dir. Josh Trank What if there was a found footage superhero movie where some teen boys got powers and one went “full Akira”? Wouldn’t that be craaaaazy?? Also Michael B. Jordan is in it!

Us: “Man, being a trollhunter sounds metal as hell!” Hans: “God, I hate this crap.” For real tho, has anyone in a movie ever had a worse job?

This week on the Patreon, we’re covering two very important movies about weapons: THE NAKED GUN, baby!! And also…WEAPONS. Oh, and did you hear there’s a full-ass ALIEN show on Hulu now? All this and more, on After Hours! patreon.com/eyeoftheduck...

BRB Hunting Trolls and very depressed about it

Where my Ringlefinches at? This week we’re talkin’ film students (again), government coverups, massive UV lights, trolls, and the one very cool guy who hunts them in TROLLHUNTER Also, he wears an amazing hat

Real talk (reel talk?): BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.

RIP Terrence Stamp, a legend

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: Trollhunter (2010) Dir. André Øvredal An extremely cool Norwegian film that could have easily fit into our Winter Hell or Dark Fantasy series (check them out if you haven’t already!), but for some reason found footage seems the most appropriate

In a genre lousy with terrible boyfriends, Micah from PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is truly in a class of his own

Was inspired by @eyeoftheduckpod.com ゴジラ vs The Blair Witch

This activity? It’s not normal

Finally, a movie that proves why you should NEVER under any circumstances buy a Ouija Board! It’s Oren Peli’s found footage masterpiece PARAMORMAL ACTIVITY, with a demon so scary that it literally convinced Steven Spielberg his office was haunted

Some fun EotD Lore: The final scene in Cloverfield takes place under Greyshot Arch in Central Park — the same location @adamvole.com and digital producer Nik used for their short film “Tourist Trap” (What’s the point of having a podcast if you aren’t gonna promote your own work?)

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: Paranormal Activity (2009) Dir. Oren Peli The tiny indie that became a global sensation and spawned a seven film franchise — REC and Cloverfield set the stage, but now we’ve reached the movie that truly kicked the found footage revival into high gear

On CLOVERFIELD and 9/11 — JJ Abrams: “We were trying to create a film that would be entertaining and, as a by-product… perhaps be a catharsis” Matt Reeves: “So it was important to find a way to approach those feelings without diminishing or exploiting them… in a way that wouldn’t be disrespectful”

Yeah yeah fantastic four whatever. This episode is all about the [REC] sequels and that’s what matters most.

Listeners, it’s time we celebrate the greatest cinematic universe in film history…and talk about FANTASTIC FOUR. Yep, it’s finally [REC] week on Patreon! (Just to clarify, we're talking about the new F4 *and* the [REC] franchise) patreon.com/eyeoftheduck...

Listeners… we’re not feeling so good… [cue explosion] This week we’re taking a swing at CLOVERFIELD — the second most famous movie to feature a beheaded Statue of Liberty!

“If there’s no RECheads left on earth, it’s cause I’m dead” — @adamvole.com Need more REC in your life? Well coming up this Wednesday on our Patreon show After Hours, we’re diving deep into the entire REC quadrilogy! These movies don’t get the attention they deserve, and we plan to give it to them

Trap them in the hall of screaming heads for all eternity

Brb gonna crack that sphere like an egg

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: Cloverfield (2008) Dir. Matt Reeves A kaiju movie about the trauma of 9/11 that helped reset the found footage genre for a new era — we considered covering it in our alien invasion series, but this is where it really belongs

“The reaction time depends on blood type” — REC may just have the best explanation ever provided by a zombie movie for “the virus works as fast as the plot requires”  What zombielike has the coolest/scariest infected? They don’t have to be undead, rage viruses count too

We have some very big news to share! 🚨 Our blessed podcast godmothers are moving to SiriusXM and taking us (and the entire Morbid Podcast network) with them! We'll have many more details soon, but until then, a very big HELL YEA for Ash and Alaina! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

New episode on Patreon today! We’re going back to the woods of Burkittsville once again to look at the very bizarre sequels to our beloved BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Have you seen BOOK OF SHADOWS? Perhaps the oddest film we’ve ever covered on our show. See you there! www.patreon.com/EyeoftheDuck...

This week we’re landing with a splat on the ground floor of an apartment complex in Spain for what may be the only (somewhat) heroic depiction of a landlord in film history! It’s REC — the 2007 virus outbreak thriller from Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza that spawned several sequels and a US remake

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: REC (2007) Jaume Balagueró, Paco Plaza A movie about people quarantined inside an apartment building to prevent the spread of a mysterious, deadly infection. Can’t imagine what that must feel like...
