Do you love movies? Have you ever heard of an eye of the duck scene? Fans of filmmaker David Lynch may be familiar with the idea.

Lynch says that a duck's eye is like a little jewel. It's in the perfect place, it's the perfect shape, and a duck just wouldn't be a duck without it.

According to Lynch, every movie has a scene that defines the whole. I'm Dom Nero.

And I'm Adam Volerich. And on each episode of our podcast, I have the duck. Dom and I explore a movie by finding its most essential scene.

Remember the chestburster sequence in Alien? That sudden explosion of body horror says everything you need to know about the Joltingly Scary 1979 Space movie. It's a classic eye of the duck.

Right now, Dom and I are exploring movies set in the vacuum of space. 2001, Interstellar, Gravity, Solaris, Apollo 13, Wally.

There are so many fantastic films that take place outside of Earth's orbit. And we're searching for eye of the duck scenes in all of them.

We're about to play a clip from our episode on the foundational 1993 Steven Spielberg film Jurassic Park.

I'll just say that my scene is the scene where they first encounter the brachiosaurus. Is that also your scene?

Of course. This was one of the scenes, I think, early on and I have the duck history when we were talking about this.

I think you're right. I think we did this podcast, this idea that, like, it's such an eye of the duck scene, right?

So to be clear for the audience, you will know the scene. I'm going to scribe it anyway. So this is the scene where the gang pulls up in the Jeep, the Williams score begins nice and low and slow.

Dr. Alan Grant stands up in a seat and does this incredible thing where he takes off his hat and then his glasses and the camera moves in on him.

You cut to Dr. Sadler, you know, holding this leaf and being like, what the hell? This leaf is like a million years old. It shouldn't exist.

Or like, the leaf is her brachiosaurus because she is a bot. She's a paleo bot. She's seeing a leaf that hasn't existed in millions of years.

Grant leans down and kind of like pulls her up into frame and they both stand up. They're looking off-screen and they're looking up high.

And they're looking so high up above camera that you have this immediate sense of the scale of the scene.

And then you cut ultra-wide to the reverse. The music kicks in with that perfect, like John Williams theme.

And the camera cannot even contain the entire dinosaur, this humongous brachiosaurus. Like, that's the scene. It has to be.

Yeah. It is undeniable.

This is what you seek in life. This is what we live for. Is this?
