Eye of the Duck

Is this a podcast, or just a memory of one? Does it matter? Come to Mars and find out as we cover Paul Verhoeven's TOTAL RECALL! We're joined by Die Hard on a Blank's Phillip Gawthorne and Liam Billingham to discuss one of Schwarzenegger's best performances, psychic mutants, and the pinnacle of practical effects. Isn't that worth a measly 300 credits? See you at the party.

Next week, we cover Mamoru Oshii's GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995). Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx
