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

    It’s a miniseries premiere! All the coolest conmen in movie history are pulling a job on Andy Garcia and we’re just happy to be here. Welcome to the Ocean’s trilogy! This week it’s the flawless 2001 Vegas heist that cemented Clooney, Pitt, Damon, and their buddies as the modern day Rat Pack. Sorry, Sinatra! Discussed on this episode: Brad Pitt’s constant eating, the weird alternate cast that almost was, infamous Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub, how gambling infiltrated 2000s suburban culture, Clooney being a silly prankster, and so much more! Next week, it’s double or nothing with OCEAN’S TWELVE (2004).

    This week we say a fond farewell to Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. We wish it hadn’t happened in our time… just kidding. We’re so lucky to be alive when it did!

    On this epic conclusion to One Scene to Rule Them All, we’re tying off loose threads, answering listener questions, sharing some thoughts on WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM, and announcing our next miniseries!

    Next week, it’s our long-awaited Eye of 2025 year-in-review. And a celebration of five years of podcasting! 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
