Paranormal Activity (2009)
Finally, a movie that proves why you should NEVER under any circumstances buy a Ouija Board! It’s Oren Peli’s found footage masterpiece, with a demon so scary that it literally convinced Steven Spielberg his office was haunted. 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.

Cloverfield (2008)
Listeners… we’re not feeling so good… [cue explosion] This week we’re taking a swing at the second most famous movie to feature a beheaded Statue of Liberty!

REC (2007)
This week we are landing with a splat on the ground floor of a quarantined apartment complex in Spain for what may be the only (somewhat) heroic depiction of a landlord in film history! It’s the very intense 2007 virus outbreak thriller from Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, which spawned several sequels as well as the American remake QUARANTINE. Discussed on this episode: ethical video journalism, RESIDENT EVIL games, Catholicism, cinematographers with acting roles, and, of course, whether these infected qualify as zombies or not.

The Blair Witch Project (1999) with Nik Long

We couldn’t have a more qualified guest – joining us to uncover the secrets of the most successful American independent film ever made is our old friend, Nik Long.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
**Heavy content warning! This episode contains coverage of a very problematic (and cursed) piece of film history. For those who wish to join us in the murky waters ahead, listener discretion is advised… Today we’re introducing the listener-selected winner of this year’s Miniseries MAYhem, our latest genre series: Lost and Found!! We’re going deep on the origins of the Found Footage movement with some complicated thoughts on Ruggero Deodato’s infamous and objectionable 1980 satire of western docu-journalism. It’s upsetting, it’s perverse, but it represents the beginning of a new era for horror. While we don’t encourage you to watch this film, we hope this episode will provide you the context for the series that’s about to unfold.

The Batman (2022)
It’s the end of an era for us and the beginning of yet another Bat franchise! Theres a Dark Knight for every generation and this one is very emo, has runny eye shadow, calls himself “vengeance” and is directed by Matt Reeves. We have some complicated thoughts about this very compelling new vision for Gotham City. Whatever you think about THE BATMAN, you’ve got to admit: The Riddler is a good singer.

The LEGO Batman Movie (2017)
It took 83 years, but we finally got a movie about the Dark Knight facing his ultimate villain…Voldemort? Voiced by Eddie Izard? This week it’s another LEGO animated spectacular, but it’s a NOT a bonus, because Batman is the main character! It’s a rom-com, a musical, a father/son drama, and above all, an excuse for Warner Bros to dump all their IP into one toy box. And somehow, it actually works!!

The LEGO Movie (2014)
Bonus!! Remember in BATMAN BEGINS when Christian Bale says he’s going to build back Wayne Manor, brick by brick? That was actually a reference to THE LEGO MOVIE! Yes, we’re talking about bricks today. And not just because LEGO is part of Adam’s origin story. There’s a Batman in this film! So we’re required to talk about him!

Into the Keatonverse! For this week’s bonus, we’re going meta with Alejandro González Iñárritu’s exceedingly self aware Oscar-winner that’s definitely not about Batman or Michael Keaton’s career. What do we talk about when we talk about Batman? Listen to find out.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
The fire rises, brother! This week we conclude our Nolan run with the biggest and most divisive entry in his Batman saga. Also discussed this week: the origins of Tom Hardy’s infamous Bane voice, whether or not Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character should have just been named Dick Grayson, and…why the hell is Bruce so fucking cruel to Alfred?

The Dark Knight (2008)
Listeners, you either die a normal film podcast, or live long enough to see your show completely devolve into a Christopher Nolan marathon. Between Heath Ledger’s legendary turn as the Joker, Nolan’s transformation into an IMAX-first director, and the coolest truck crash in cinema history, there’s so much to explore in this sprawling behemoth of a picture. We went for nearly four hours on this one, and could easily do another four. THE DARK KNIGHT is (still!) just that good!!

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000)
Holy Nu-metal, Batman! It’s the year 2039, Bruce Wayne is a grouchy old man, corporations rule the world, and Batman is a moody teen. Has there ever been a cooler superhero show? This we're week going long on one of our favorite animated series, BATMAN BEYOND, and the standalone film that reunited Mark Hamill’s Joker with Bruce Timm, Kevin Conroy, and the whole BTAS gang for a truly horrific vision of the Bat-Family’s future.

Batman Forever (1995)
Rest in peace, Val Kilmer. This week, we’re devoting our episode to Val and his smoldering performance in Joel Schumacher’s first foray into the Barman franchise. There will never be another Dark Knight like you, Mr. Kilmer. Between Jim Carrey’s unhinged take on the Riddler, Tommy Lee Jones trying against all odds to out-crazy him, and the overwhelming aura of horny energy exuding from Nicole Kidman, there is a lot to unpack with this 90s classic. Strap in, we’re getting takeout in the (very phallic) Batmobile.

The Heroic Trio (1993)
Bonus! Johnny To’s windswept, smoldering superhero masterpiece may not exactly exist in the Batman continuity…but we sure as hell are going to talk about it anyway. Starring Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui, and Maggie Cheung, we thought this bonkers dream of an action noir would be the perfect appetizer for our upcoming Schumacher era. Whether it was intentional or not, Schumacher’s films look suspiciously similar to THE HEROIC TRIO. And we’re going to get to the bottom of it!

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Bruce Timm’s animated Batverse is for many people the defining adaptation of the character, and this week we’re here to tell you why. We’re going deep on THE ANIMATED SERIES over on our Patreon show (link below!) but here on the main feed it’s all about the original villain, The Phantasm, and how she helped inspire a tormented Bruce Wayne to leave his personal life behind for a life in vigilantism. Also…Abe Vigoda? A young, creepy Joker?! The Phantasm’s return in JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: EPILOGUE? We are in Batman heaven this week.
