Eye of the Duck: A Film Podcast

• Batman Forever (1995)

  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 Batman 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)

  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.

• Batman Returns (1992) with Griffin Newman (Blank Check)

  Griffin Newman returns! And this time he’s brought with him the Bat, the Cat, the Penguin, and….Shreck? Yes, we’ve got THE TICK’s Arthur to talk all things superhero movies, performing in costume, transitioning from comedian to action hero, and why there will never be a better Bruce Wayne than Michael Keaton. Also, we gush about how truly reprehensible and brilliant Danny DeVito is in this film! He stayed in character throughout the entire production! Demented!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 FeaturesThe Bat, the Cat, and the PenguinShadows of the Bat: The Cinematic Saga of the Dark Knight Part 4Making-up the PenguinAssembling the Arctic ArmyBats, Mattes, and Dark Knights: The Visual Effects of Batman ReturnsInside the Elfman Studios: The Music of Batman ReturnsFangoria #160 Production HistoryCinefantastique Vol 22 No 2 (Oct 1991) Production HistoryCinefantastique Vol 23 No 1 (Aug 1992) Production HistoryCinefantastique Vol 23 No 2-3 (Oct 1992) Production HistoryBurton on Burton by Mark SalisburyCinefex #51 Production HistoryThe Hollywood Reporter Production HistoryStan Winston Penguin SFX BreakdownStan Winston Army of Penguins SFX BreakdownMarlon Wayans Cast (Then Cut) as RobinSean Young on Playing Catwoman NowTim Burton on Returning to the FranchiseMoney Into Light Daniel Waters InterviewASC Cinematography BreakdownEmpire Danny Elfman InterviewAFI Production HistoryDaniel Waters on Batman (1989)We Are Cult Production History“Batman 2” by Sam HammCredits: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.
