It's Mann versus machine. It's Mann versus manhood. It's probably the best television film of all time. And it just so happens to be the debut for one Steven Spielberg. If you like Jaws, may we recommend Duel... where the shark is a big, scary truck! We discuss the film and its background, plus some general Spielberg chatter, the Mouthgarf Report, and I See What You Did There!
