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

  • The Sacrament (2013)
    Sep 8 2025

    It’s indie filmmaking Smash Bros this week! Ti West, Joe Swanberg, Kentucky Audley–everyone is here! And they’re all (probably) going to die!!

    This week we are joining a cult that’s definitely not a Jonestown ripoff, and getting everything on tape for our latest VICE documentary. Hopefully no one gets killed!

    Next week it’s another mumblecore favorite, Patrick Brice’s CREEP. 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

  • Europa Report (2013)
    Sep 1 2025

    We are so back….in space!! This week we’re blasting off towards Jupiter for a one-of-a-kind outer space found footage experience.

    Sebastián Cordero’s 2013 sci-fi surveillance thriller was NOT originally on our miniseries radar. But we could not resist the temptation of leaving this earth behind and spending some time amongst the (unforgiving) stars again. So here we are.

    Next week, we’re doing another 2010s pseudo-documentary, the Ti West cult horror THE SACRAMENT. Join the conversation on our Discord at and get more Eye of the Duck on our Patreon show, After Hours.
