Revisitations #9: Duel (1971) (or: Second-Guessing Spielberg)
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Stella and Dan have wanted for some time to discuss their love of Steven Spielberg's 1971 cinematic debut, Duel, written by Richard Matheson. However, they'd never seen the shorter, original intended-for-television version of the film before recording this episode, and therefore spend a lot of it speculating about what that version was like and how Spielberg might have made changes to Matheson's story to expand it for the cinema screen.
Then, after the recording, Dan did something he really should've done earlier - checked YouTube. For there, the (commercially unreleased) TV version is readily available. Therefore Dan had to watch it and insert additional comments into the original discussion to correct anything he and Stella had earlier guessed wrong. We hope you enjoy the result.

Theme from Children of the Stones
That Funny Feeling (from Inside, available to watch on Netflix)
The Dogs Attack from The Omen (available to watch on Disney+)
Willow's Song (though possibly not the original Annie Ross version but a very close cover)
Main Title from Jaws the Revenge (as recently discussed on Spider-Dan & The Secret Bores)
Goodbye from Dark (available on Netflix)
The promised Star Wars update episode is still on its way!

A few weeks late, we're giving our first coverage to Grimmfest 2022. Stella and Dan discuss the Italian comic heist thriller with a gruesome undertone, L'Orafo aka The Goldsmith, winner of the festival's Reaper Award for Best Screenplay. Dan was unable to attend Grimmfest itself due to illness, but Stella did and recorded a spoilery interview with co-writer/director Vincenzo Ricchiuti and producer Manuela De Tommaso, included in the middle of the podcast.

00.15.46 Interview with Vincenzo Richiutti and Manuela De Tomasso (spoilers)

No recommendations on the actual podcast this episode, but Dan suggests UK listeners check out All4 which currently hosts a number of excellent horror films, including One Cut Of The Dead, American Psycho, The Mist and The Orphanage.
