What if an asshole got superpowers? Would he save the world? Or just prank old ladies and do sick magic tricks to impress chicks at the talent show?

This week it’s Josh Trank’s found footage superhero film where a pothead, a burnout, and an aspiring class president become invincible (and fly!) What could go wrong?

Next week we kick off our screen life era (!!) with Levan Gabriadze’s UNFRIENDED (2014). 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
