Hey guys! Here is the YT edit for Duel, which will premiere shortly!

Edgar Gonzalez

Let's get it fam! 💪 Dennis weaver and Carey Loftin did great in this movie. I watched it when I was a kid. Course at the time I didn't know what the heck was going on in the movie 😆

Rosario Cicero

Mr. Spielberg had to fight like hell to have the truck NOT explode at the end because he wanted it to come across as a living breathing monster and not a machine

Oscar Espinoza

I hope that Carly can join Cassie for Scary but not too scary October next year.

Rob G

Maybe The Hitcher (1986 original) with C. Thomas Howell and the late Rutger Hauer can be considered in the near future.... just sayin.

Chris Thom

Clarance agrees with you. Me too. Just call it a Tense Dramatic Thriller With Light Violence and maybe it can sneak by outside of October.

Chris Thom

Could've been neat if they did the whole slow death thing with the final shot being a long shot of it exploding. Like the guy inside lit it on fire.

Kat Farlowe

A little trivia. When the shark is killed in Jaws and the carcass is sinking down in the water, Spielberg used the same dinosaur roar sound that he used when the truck went over the cliff.

Stephen Malloy

This made for network TV movie put Spielberg on the map. If nothing else he knew right away how to build suspense.

2-Can

This brought to mind both Breakdown (1997) with Kurt Russell (for the remoteness) and Joy Ride (2001) (as a more modern, bigger budget, take on the idea).

James Damar

This intro discussion between the two of you was top entertainment! Why I love your podcast too :D

Clay F

Good movie. Empire of the Sun only 5 votes behind Duel in Spielberg poll. 1. Bridge of Spies (2015) -- 268 2. A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) – 255 3. Duel (1971) – 243 4. Empire of the Sun (1987) – 238

Clarence Newman

Ooh yes, thank you thank you. Just need the Cool Hand Luke YT now.

Mark Deadman

It's often been suggested that all the number plates on the front of the truck were its previous victims.

Clarence Newman

This is a vague memory, but I think the dinosaur sound comes from Valley of the Gwangi.

Clarence Newman

Clarence DEFINITELY agrees with you. Great movie, and Cassie would reluctantly develop a crush on Rootbeer Hauer.

Clarence Newman

Having recently watched Halloween 2, which was not scary at all because of how dumb you had to be to die in that film, this one shows the brilliance of realistic writing. There are very, very few moments in this film where we can legitimately think "I would've done something different there so I'd've been ok." Turning around and heading the other way is the obvious one, of course (Carly mentions that), but I think the guy felt he had to go that way because that's the direction of home. The rest is pretty much as it would happen and all the creepier for it.

Above Average Dave

Well, there's a possessed, self-propelled truck that appears to run on demon fuel instead of commercial grade diesel. I mean, other than that, yes, "realistic." 🤣

Clarence Newman

It was clearly souped-up, Dave, but my point is still kosher. Even if it was a demon truck, my reaction and your reaction to most of the demonic and/or dognuts crazy redneck interplay would have been no different.

Clarence Newman

I'd've called the cops on my mobile, of course, which is exactly why this film will never get a remake.

Richard Maurer

The truck had a driver. They just didn’t really show him. Maybe you’re thinking of The Car (77) a film about a devil possessed car.

Clarence Newman

I believe we saw his arm when they were both parked in the gas station.

Joe J

We should have a poll for 70s TV movies, there were some really good ones. Now we have 125 cable channels..and nothing to watch, lol.

Richard Maurer

I can pretty much guarantee that won’t happen, but you never know.

Clay F

Yeah, Halloween 2 sucks. Duel is a good movie.

Clay F

She could be persuaded in the past, but apparently no more.

bgb1975 (Brian)

How come Clarence always gets his favorite movies watched? No fair! (Although a Cool Hand Luke watch would be a good one)

Chris Thom

Halloween 2 had one really great shot of Michael Myers on fire. And some fairly creative kills. So I guess it was worth seeing. Pretty sure that the idea of Duel was that he was totally trapped in the situation and there was nothing he could do to get away. The killer was that psychotic and fixated at that point. Maybe he could've directed his attention to someone else, but that would be truly shitty.

Russell

Halloween 2 was a great slasher movie sequel to the first (it's a slasher movie so...) . Duel was a great movie for its age- Spielberg's first. As for realistic, um it's a movie.

Russell

Interesting. Valley of the Gwangi... that brings back memories.

Richard Maurer

Even John Carpenter didn’t like Halloween 2. He wanted to move on to The Fog, but the studio basically forced him to write a script for it.

Mark White

I got the feeling that “Zodiac” despite being a thriller, was the final straw for Carly! “What lies beneath” didn’t help either! 😆

Joe J

New patrons won't know the history like us lifers, lol.

Clarence Newman

Exactly, Russell. It’s just a movie, therefore realistic as opposed to real.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Duel,” Steven Spielberg’s first feature-length film (1971), was an impressive start — a masterclass in suspense with minimal dialogue. Dennis Weaver, a talented actor, was the perfect choice for the lead role. He brought just the right mix of vulnerability and determination to the character. Weaver later went on to star in numerous television shows and films, but I especially remember him for his role as Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud in the TV series McCloud (1970–1977), about a fish-out-of-water Texas lawman assigned to the New York City Police Department.

Chris Thom

Well there's a new tactic. Some corporate mind-melding right there. Have her scrambling to film a reaction she thinks she forgot. Lol. Respect.

Rob G

Clarence.... You know the good girls like the bad boys!

Clay F

As a kid, I watched McCloud as it aired. Dennis Weaver will always be Sam McCloud to me.

Clarence Newman

I'm going for the pity vote as my suggestions have been heavily-maligned in the past. I am going to twizzle her brain with such posts and then, just at the right moment, demand that she fulfill her promise to watch Rhinestone.

Clarence Newman

Cassie could always change Scary But Not Too Scary from October to September and not tell Carly. Call it Tender September and draft her in for Deliverance.

TheSingulatarian

The old Pymouth Valiant. My ex-wife had a 1974 but it looked almost the same. You couldn't kill those slant six motors they would run forever.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - she could watch Deliverance in September anyway - because it’s not a Horror Movie!

Clarence Newman

Knock 6 years off and turn it into a green Mustang, and we might have an even better movie!

Brent Petty

I feel like Cassie has single-handedly devalued the phrase "this is my nightmare." When you use it any time ANYTHING happens, it loses it's meaning. :)

Brent Petty

If the PiB ladies want to see a modern version, Joy Ride (2001) would be a good one, but maybe for next October. Starring the late Paul Walker, Steve Zahn, and the voice of Buffalo Bill.

Clarence Newman

I'd be interested to see that, Brent. I wonder how they would "redo" a film like this in a world that has mobile phones.

Richard Maurer

Cassie apparently has a LOT of nightmares.

CJ Holden

I'm so glad that the movie grabbed you two the way it did. It's a great movie, but sadly I had a few occasions where I watched it with some people of different ages who were bored out of their mind. I mean, I was pretty sure that you would like it, but from the phonebooth scene on I just knew that you were REALLY into it.

Clarence Newman

Imagine how many times you'd hear it if this was Carly's channel.

Brent Petty

If it was Carly, it would be "Oh my SWEET mercy!"

Brent Petty

In their YT reaction to Ransom, Carly says "Oh my gosh!" 4 times in 7 seconds (30:55-31:02). In fairness to her and Cassie, that may be the most upset I have seen the pair of them in a reaction together.

Chris Thom

I usually agree with her when she says that. Because I've had dreams just like that. Especially the Cliffhanger one.

Clay F

To the contrary, when she says "this is my nightmare," she means it and has experienced nightmares with that type of content or thoughts. She does not use the phrase "this is my nightmare" lightly or as some kind of metaphor -- but instead she means that scenario or situation/aspects gives her nightmares. Many people use the phrase "this is my nightmare" to indicate a situation that significantly bothers or scares them -- not that it an actual nightmare they experience. Conversely, when Cassie says "this is my nightmare" -- she means it. Nightmares are apparently a signficant aspect of her life. I am the opposite in that I don't really have nightmares (that I remember). I may have an uncomfortable dream, not a nightmare.

Brent Petty

Not a fan of heights myself, so I can relate to that one.

Brent Petty

There are a few potential t-shirts for her to add to her merch site: "This is my nightmare" "Oh Fetch" and Oh my SWEET mercy" (Oh my gosh is already there). Might as well profit from it.

Barry Diamond

This was a made for TV movie, never shown in theaters. It was Spielberg's first feature and used a theme he repeats in later films: Ordinary everyday objects or locations becoming instruments of fright. Hitchcock before him had also used comfortable, familiar settings so that when something terrible happens the audience is even more disoriented.

Barry Diamond

His first extended TV role was as deputy to Marshall Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke". He also appeared as the motel clerk in the Orson Wells feature "A Touch of Evil", starring Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh.

Patrick Switzer

I would be interesting to see Carly's reaction to the full feature
