We find film fascinating. We like discussing production, editing, story, storyboarding, acting, directing, cinematography, film scores, trivia, history, fan service, fan theories, subtexts, big ideas; if it is part of film we like to discuss it. For us film is no different than literature can be discussed just as deeply, or shallowly. We have been discussing movies for years and want to invite you, the listener to join us. I'm Max. And I'm Jason. Welcome to the conversation.

On this week's episode, we tackle Steven Spielberg's first feature film, Duel. It started its life as a made-for-TV movie but then grew into something more. This is where a dynasty of feature film excellence began. The film stars Dennis Weaver, as an everyman kind of hero and giant semi with a nearly faceless, certainly nameless driver. It was based on a short story by the great thriller and horror writer Richard Matheson. Matheson also wrote the screenplay adaptation. How well does Spielberg's first thriller hold up? Have a listen and find out what we think of this 1971 thriller where almost all the cars are large, in charge, but maybe not great on gas.
We have some big projects in the works, but we'd love to hear some film suggestions from listeners.
Enjoy the show.
M and J and (sometimes) A.
