Atomic batteries to power! Turbines to speed!. Eye of the Duck has lit the Bat-Signal — starting Monday, we’re going deep on the Batman films (and some very groovy bonuses) in a miniseries we’re calling EYE OF THE DUCK KNIGHT

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵——>. If you haven't seen it, you can go hunting with Hans on (a pretty basic, but inexpensive) Blu-ray or any of these VOD platforms:

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 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

RT @AdamVole: This activity? It’s normal.

Is PARANORMAL ACTIVITY the one true successor to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT? And is it better to live with a scary ghoul than a shitty day trader boyfriend? These questions and more, explored right here on Eye of the Duck. Listen here:

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

Watch it here:

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

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵——>. If you’ve never been haunted by Tobi the demon (it’ll be my first time too!), you can find Paranormal Activity on Blu-ray or any of these VOD platforms:.

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

So… do you think they succeeded? The boys certainly have their thoughts, but we wanna hear some hot takes.

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

RT @AdamVole: 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).

It’s the brainchild of returning faves JJ Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Drew Goddard! And it’s the hottest people you know experiencing worst horrors imaginable. Sounds like a fun time!. Listen here:

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!

(And yes, we know technically the correct word is “tetralogy,” but quadrilogy more clearly communicates the intended meaning and is objectively better).

“If there’s no RECheads left on earth, it’s cause I’m dead” — @adamvole. Need more REC? Well coming up this week 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

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵——>. If you haven’t seen Cloverfield, it's one of those movies you gotta watch “for the history” alone — find it on 4K/Blu-ray, or any of these VOD platforms:

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
