  • 720. Blowing Up the Small Screen: The Jericho Mile (1979) and Duel (1971)
    Apr 30 2025

    Steven Spielberg and Michael Mann blew audiences away with their award-winning television movie debuts. But these films are more than just made for TV - they showcased the early talents of these acclaimed directors and the trademarks that would come to define their filmography. Mann infused The Jericho Mile (1979) with an authenticity that would lead him to Thief (1981) and Spielberg preceded his mastery of suspense in Jaws (1975) with the truck in Duel (1971)!

    The Deep Question: Who would you cast as Dom's mother in the Fast and Furious franchise?
