We are so back! It’s the worst pandemic in modern history, and we couldn’t be more excited (and terrified) to be trapped on a Zoom call with you (and a demon) again.

Lockdown-era movies have been pretty unimpressive so far, but HOST is a VERY notable exception.

The screen is life! The found footage genre infects MacOS this week with SEARCHING — a truly horrific story of parenting, grief, and, of course, screens!

There’s a demon in the internet, but what if the real horror was the novel coronavirus we caught along the way?

(Seriously though, stop with the séances already!)

The only parent on the Eye: MF team is @dominicknero.bsky.social so our perspective on this is admittedly limited!

“You don’t always know your kid, and that is never your fault.”

Uhhh… “never”? Really? I dunno about that one, Vick.

But if you’ve seen SEARCHING, then (SPOILER) you know there’s a *lot* of cope going on here, to say the least.

Listeners who are parents — what’s your take?

Dom is out, so we nabbed the living manifestation of destiny (and our resident researcher) @parthmarathe.bsky.social for the Patreon this week!

There's a ton of news to unpack, including Tilly N*rwood controversy, a new Simpsons movie (?!), and Bond casting rumors!

Is John Cho the most oblivious father in movie history? Or is the internet a terrible place that preys on society’s most vulnerable youths? Probably a little of both… but hey, at least we still had Addicting Games Dot Com!

100% agreed!

Eye of the Duck @eyeoftheduckpod.com · 12d

Hell yeah the best way to see it!

Eye of the Duck @eyeoftheduckpod.com · 12d

How does a film about the communal art of filmmaking ending with the crew building a human pyramid to capture the triumphant final shot of the movie not put a big fat smile on your face?

But if you have an alternate pick, we'd love to hear it!

Eye of the Duck @eyeoftheduckpod.com · 12d

SPOILER — GO WATCH THE MOVIE FIRST

“That’s an EotD if I ever saw one” — @sirniklong.bsky.social to the group chat

Every once in a while, the "scene at the center" will be so obvious that we must simply must acknowledge it, and ONE CUT OF THE DEAD is one of those rare movies

"This is filmmaking. True filmmaking! Look there's no fiction. No lies. This is reality! We keep rolling. Don't stop shooting!"

Eye of the Duck @eyeoftheduckpod.com · 15d

There’s meta, and then there’s a movie thats so self-referential it basically takes place inside a Russian nesting doll. It’s the INCEPTION of the found footage genre, and we're going all the way down!

Eye of the Duck @eyeoftheduckpod.com · 15d

Another remarkable low-budget success story, ONE CUT OF THE DEAD is the type of movie that makes you want to pick up a camera and go shoot something… or behead some zombies. Either way, it’s inspiring stuff!

One Cut of the Dead (2017)
Dir. Shin'ichirô Ueda

A film crew making a low budget zombie movie encounter real zombies — and in classic found footage fashion, they decide to keep shooting. But it only gets weirder from there.
