Send Help (2026)

Somehow, Sam Raimi has returned! SEND HEPL!

The latest from our man R.O.C. Sandstorm is finally out on Blu-Ray and VOD, and we could not resist opening up the Necronomicon once again. It may not exactly qualify as an Evil Dead film, but… someone does in fact die! And Dylan O’Brien’s character may or may not be evil!!

Also… Linda Liddle innocent!

Next week, we are launching our Studio Ghibli series with NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND (1985)! Join the conversation on our Discord at discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx and get more Eye of the Duck on our Patreon show, After Hours patreon.com/EyeoftheDuckPod
