  • Fire in the Sky (1993) with Sean Parker (Mostly Horror)
    Oct 14 2024

    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!

    Next week, it’s Tim Burton’s disgustingly hilarious MARS ATTACKS. Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx.

  • The Abyss (1989)
    Oct 7 2024
    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 come on in, the water is (definitely not) warm.Next week, it’s the gnarly UFO cult favorite horror, FIRE IN THE SKY.

  • They Live (1988)
    Sep 30 2024

    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 surprise reunion with James Cameron for his underwater odyssey, THE ABYSS. Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx.

  • Cocoon (1985)
    Sep 23 2024

    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 conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx.

    Sep 13 2024

    Calling all (motorcycle) knights of the round table! On Sunday, September 15 at 7pm, Adam and Dom will be in person at the IFC Center in NYC for a special screening of George A. Romero's KNIGHTRIDERS.

    They'll be presenting the film and participating in a Q&A with host Matt Zoller Seitz (New York Magazine, RogerEbert.com) and author Daniel Kraus, who completed Romero's unfinished novel THE LIVING DEAD, as well as the upcoming PAY THE PIPER.

    Tickets are available for purchase here: https://www.ifccenter.com/films/movies-with-mzs-knightriders/

    Longtime listeners of the show know how meaningful Romero's renegade Camelot movie has become here at Eye of the Duck. We're so excited to see the film on the big screen and help spread the gospel of KNIGHTRIDERS. We hope to see you there!
