@dodgyboffin.com returns as @eyeoftheduckpod.com goes through the Wardrobe!
It’s the Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia! That’s right the Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia!
When choosing movies inspired by THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy to cover for our series, we knew Disney's mega-budget adaptation of C.S. Lewis's iconic children's classic was essential.

We had no choice but to form a league with @stephenhilger.bsky.social to discuss this career killer!
This week we’re jumping from one big adaptation of British literature to another. It’s a movie about a fellowship, but this time, they call it a League. And it’s Extraordinary!! (The League, that is)

Train dreaming
This week on Patreon, we're having some (very devastating and enlightening) TRAIN DREAMS. And we're trying to make sense of the HUNT FOR GOLLUM rumors (Baby Yoda is out. Baby Smeagol is in??)
Also, GOOD FORTUNE, IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU, and more!

I adore this Christmas picture, which I first saw over the summer, so I wrote about it. Not just a favorite 2025 holiday film, but a favorite 2025 film. Won't be for everyone, but I love the way the director subverts, rather than avoids, most every barfly film cliché. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

Last stop on the road to Mordor!
Justice for Gurgi!
This week it’s the final stop on our tour of pre-Jackson LOTR-inspired films – and our very first ever Disney animated film – THE BLACK CAULDRON!

This movie fucking rips
It’s the first major adaptation of Tolkien’s trilogy and it is… rotoscope animation??
Enter Ralph Bakshi and his completely batshit vision of an animated Middle Earth, simply titled THE LORD OF THE RINGS!

🎶 The Greatest Adventure is What Lies Ahead 🎶
Listen up, Hobbitses! An adventure is knocking at your door! Will you answer it? Even if it’s a musical?
This week we discuss the first actual Tolkien adaptation of our series, and we're so confused it exists. Rankin and Bass? The dudes who made the Rudolph and Frosty movies??

THEY SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE. THEY SAID WE COULDN’T DO 3 HOURS OF RICH ANALYSIS ON RAP WORLD. THEY WERE WRONG.
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.

We are so back! It’s the worst pandemic in modern history, and we couldn’t be more excited (and terrified) to be trapped on a Zoom call with you (and a demon) again.
Lockdown-era movies have been pretty unimpressive so far, but HOST is a VERY notable exception.

The screen is life! The found footage genre infects MacOS this week with SEARCHING — a truly horrific story of parenting, grief, and, of course, screens!

"This is filmmaking. True filmmaking! Look there's no fiction. No lies. This is reality! We keep rolling. Don't stop shooting!"
There’s meta, and then there’s a movie thats so self-referential it basically takes place inside a Russian nesting doll. It’s the INCEPTION of the found footage genre, and we're going all the way down!

Finally a movie about the dangers of a career in freelance cinematography
Mark Duplass has entered the fray! And he is very, very CREEPy.
This week we’re going deep on another found footage gem from the indie world. In maybe only true “character study” of our series, Patrick Brice presents a new type of slasher… one who simply won’t shut the f*ck up.
