Legendary filmmakers always have a beginning. The place that made people realize that maybe "this person's got it." 1971's DUEL was that for Steven Spielberg. Based on the short story by award winning author Richard Matheson, DUEL showcases fast paced filmmaking and skills most 24 year directors just don't present on screen. It's what we would eventually see in the blockbusters Spielberg would release going forward. It's simple, man vs. truck. The ultimate road rage film, that never hit the big screen. Darin Lundberg of NostalgiaCast/Back To Bluey joins to us break down what some would say to be the greatest TV movie ever made. Is it true? Lets find out out, this week on the Dissect That Film Podcast Episode 199.
