  • Summary

  • 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.

    Rest in peace, Val Kilmer. This week, we’re devoting our episode to Val and his smoldering performance in Joel Schumacher’s first foray into the Barman franchise. There will never be another Dark Knight like you, Mr. Kilmer.Between Jim Carrey’s unhinged take on the Riddler, Tommy Lee Jones trying against all odds to out-crazy him, and the overwhelming aura of horny energy exuding from Nicole Kidman, there is a lot to unpack with this 90s classic. Strap in, we’re getting takeout in the (very phallic) Batmobile.Next week, it’s Schumacher’s even more deranged follow-up, BATMAN & ROBIN.

  • The Heroic Trio (1993)

    The Heroic Trio (1993)
    Apr 14 2025
    Bonus! Johnny To’s windswept, smoldering superhero masterpiece may not exactly exist in the Batman continuity… but we sure as hell are going to talk about it anyway.Starring Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui, and Maggie Cheung, we thought this bonkers dream of an action noir would be the perfect appetizer for our upcoming Schumacher era. Whether it was intentional or not, Schumacher’s films look suspiciously similar to THE HEROIC TRIO. And we’re going to get to the bottom of it!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/EyeoftheDuckPodReferences:Special FeaturesSuperhero SisterhoodNo Ordinary Actor: Anthony WongPlanet Hong Kong: Popular Cinema and the Art of Entertainment by David BordwellHong Kong Cinema: The Extra Dimensions by Stephen TeoHong Kong New WaveSight & Sound March 1995 Vol. 5 Production HistoryMetrograph Production HistoryHouse of Asian Cinema James Pax InterviewHenry Sheehan Johnnie To InterviewMichelle Yeoh Takes Down ConanCredits:Eye of the Duck is created, hosted, and produced by Dom Nero and Adam Volerich.This episode was edited by Michael Gaspari.This episode was researched by Parth Marathe.Our logo was designed by Francesca Volerich.
