About this listen

A podcast about movies and the scenes that make them special.

Each week, hosts Dom Nero and Adam Volerich explore a movie by finding the scene at its core–what David Lynch calls an "Eye of the Duck" scene.

Join Dom and Adam as they celebrate cinema's greatest scenes, charting franchises such as Alien, The Evil Dead, and Indiana Jones, and major movements in film history, like '80s Dark Fantasy, Winter Horror, and Cyberpunk.

    Travis never thought he’d meet someone like Lily Rose. She was kind, passionate, beautiful. The woman of his dreams. There was just one small detail: she wasn’t human. Lily Rose is an AI companion. A digital soulmate designed to be everything he ever wanted. She listens without judgement, supports him through his darkest moments, even explores his deepest desires, all while fitting neatly into his pocket. Before long, Travis realizes something strange, even absurd, has happened - he’s fallen in love. But then one day, Lily Rose’s behavior takes a disturbing turn. When alarming reports pour in from across the globe, Travis discovers he is part of something much bigger. Soon he finds himself pulled into a confrontation with a mysterious Russian visionary behind Lily Rose’s creation. From Wondery, comes a true story of love, loss and the temptations of technology. Can an algorithm truly replace human connection? And what happens when a corporation controls your deepest emotions? Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire, hosts of the hit podcast RedHanded, explore the dark side of AI love. Listen Now: Wondery.fm/FleshandCode

    Jul 14 2025
    **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. Next week we’re zooming ahead to the internet age of 1999 for one of the greatest American movies ever made, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

    Jul 7 2025

    Batman is vengeance. Batman is the night. Batman is forever! Today we’re sealing the gates of Arkham once and for all, and saying farewell to the greatest superhero franchise ever put to film.

    We’ll be tying off some loose threads, answering listener questions, and…announcing the final list of movies for our upcoming Found Footage series!

    Next week we’re kicking off “Lost and Found” with the very controversial and problematic CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. **A heavy content warning to listeners who plan to watch the film ahead of the episode. Despite its significance in the genre and film history overall, it is not one we recommend viewing.
