“Just don't go anywhere, that's the best thing”
The panel of peril walk home because, save for the off chance of a piano falling from a great height onto your head, it is statistically the safest form of travel. That fact is born out by this week’s film, Duel (Steven Spielberg, 1971).
David Mann (Dennis Weaver) is a middle-aged salesman driving across the Mojave desert for an important meeting. It’s a long drive, very hot, his wife (Jacqueline Scott) is none too happy with him at the moment, and to compound all of that he has raised the ire of a mysterious truck driver…

********PLOT SPOILER ALERT********
Following a perfectly reasonable overtaking manoeuvre, Mann is relentlessly pursued by the 18-wheeler, in a deadly game of one upmanship. Though the trucker’s identity is obscured his intentions are quite clear: the vehicular homicide of our friendly neighbourhood salesman!
Did the panel enjoy this week’s televisual/cinematic serving? Could they find a way to improve the mystery man’s villainous plan? And who will be named this week’s most diabolical (person/podcast((er)))?
