Hey, remember that film Indiana Jones? Or E.T? Jurassic Park? Minority Report? Close Encounters? How about Schindlers List? Saving Private Ryan? A.I? Catch Me If You Can? Or even Jaws?
Thats great you remember all of those classics.
How about Duel? Remember that one?
Yeah we didn’t think so.
Thats right, just when you thought we’d only do a few little indie films, we’ve taken a Toretto handbrake turn and gone straight to the man who basically IS the movie industry, back to the beginning of his incredibly influential, groundbreaking and frankly (when you actually look at it) astonishing career. He is perhaps, the GOAT. We’ll let you decide…on this podcast episode which is almost 2 hours long. Thats twice the length of any other episode we’ve done. Thats twice the movie goodness, twice the movie magic, and twice the er…twice the time it took to edit. But anyway, we’re here and excited to share our findings on the man himself, Mr Steven Spielberg, and his very first film, Duel (1971) about a man who is harassed by a truck driver. Yes you read that right. It might be the only film devoid of that Spielbergian magic. Even more of a reason to watch it.
We’ve also got an incredible short of the week, The Candidate (2010), by David Karlak. The keen eyed viewer might notice Meghan Markle, displaying her acting chops before she packed it in to became the Duchess of Sussex. Good job its a royally good little film.
Link to The Candidate here.
Happy listening.
