Searching (2018)

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

Is John Cho the most oblivious father in movie history? Or is the internet a terrible place that preys on society’s most vulnerable youths? Probably a little of both… but hey, at least we still had Addicting Games Dot Com!

Next week, we fall even deeper into the screen abyss for Rob Savage’s HOST (2020). 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
