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.© Eye of the Duck Productions LLC Art

  • Rap World (2024)
    Nov 3 2025

    Try to remember these times, listeners. Some of the best nights of our lives were being had in parking lots.

    When Connor O’Malley brings a couple DV cameras to the suburban abyss of Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, we simply have no choice but to watch. It’s somehow the culmination of every found footage film we covered in this series, and also one of the funniest feature-length films ever uploaded directly to YouTube… or anywhere, for the matter.

    It’s RAP WORLD, baby. And we’re living in it!

    Next week we wrap up our found footage miniseries, answer some listener questions, AND…announce our next series! Join the conversation on our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx and get more Eye of the Duck on our Patreon show, After Hours https://www.patreon.com/EyeoftheDuckPod

  • Unfriended: Dark Web (2018) with Stephen Susco
    Oct 27 2025

    Welcome to the dark web! For the penultimate episode of our found footage miniseries, we’re making Eye of the Duck history and inviting a writer/director to come on and explore his own film!

    Stephen Susco joins us to sail down the river and talk all things UNFRIENDED, such as transitioning the franchise from horror to thriller, the cursed search history of a professional screenwriter, the legacy of the screen life subgenre, and how easy it is to access the dark web! Really... apparently, anyone can do it.

    Next week, it’s the deeply demented final film of our miniseries, RAP WORLD (2024). Join the conversation on our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx and get more Eye of the Duck on our Patreon show, After Hours https://www.patreon.com/EyeoftheDuckPod

  • Late Night with the Devil (2023)
    Oct 20 2025

    It’s Late Night with Abraxas! Hosted by the one and only…. Mr. Wriggles!

    This week we’re filming one VERY cursed television broadcast in front of a live studio audience! LATE NIGHT is perhaps the most popular found footage movie of the past few years, and we’re finally going to answer the question… is it really found footage? (Yes. The answer is yes). Don’t forget your sacrificial dagger!

    Next week, we are joined by the writer and director of UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB, Stephen Susco, for a very special bonus episode!
