  • Announcement! Knightriders (1981) at IFC Center in NYC
    Sep 13 2024

    Calling all (motorcycle) knights of the round table! On Sunday, September 15 at 7pm, Adam and Dom will be in person at the IFC Center in NYC for a special screening of George A. Romero's KNIGHTRIDERS.

    They'll be presenting the film and participating in a Q&A with host Matt Zoller Seitz (New York Magazine, RogerEbert.com) and author Daniel Kraus, who completed Romero's unfinished novel THE LIVING DEAD, as well as the upcoming PAY THE PIPER.

    Tickets are available for purchase here: https://www.ifccenter.com/films/movies-with-mzs-knightriders/

    Longtime listeners of the show know how meaningful Romero's renegade Camelot movie has become here at Eye of the Duck. We're so excited to see the film on the big screen and help spread the gospel of KNIGHTRIDERS. We hope to see you there!

  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
    Sep 2 2024

    It's pod people, pop psychologists, mud baths, and one very grumpy health inspector this week. Philip Kaufman's iconic remake is bursting with 1970s cooky vibes, courtesy of Michael Chapman's singular cinematography, and Leonard Nimoy's very small leather glove. Best remake of all time?

    Next week we're going for what may be the biggest alien movie of them all...Steven Spielberg's 1982 E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL. Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx.
