SQL error when loading empty laravel blade file

This is an app that previous developers have worked on and might have something hidden I'm not aware of.

There's a simple route that uses no middleware and loads a view.

public function index(Request $request)
{
    return view('media');
}

This returns

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column

This happens even if media.blade.php is empty and stops happen if I comment out return view('media').

This is media.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('title', __('Files and Links'))

@section('content')
    <media :privacy=""></media>
@endsection

Even when I empty the file it's the same.

Where can queries be happening if that's all there is?
