Get ready for a massive dose of road rage, because Svengoolie is steering away from the classic monsters to present an intense action-thriller: Duel!

Tune in to MeTV on Saturday, December 13th, starting at 8 PM (7 PM Central), for this terrifying 1971 made-for-TV movie that launched the career of director Steven Spielberg. Dennis Weaver stars as a weary businessman who finds himself trapped in a deadly, inexplicable pursuit on a desolate highway. His antagonist is a menacing, unseen driver behind the wheel of a massive, black tanker truck that seems intent on running him off the road—or worse. This is a pure, unrelenting masterclass in suspense and paranoia, proving that even a young Spielberg could deliver heart-stopping thrills. Don’t miss this landmark film, along with Sven’s commentary, behind-the-scenes facts, and the usual hilarious segments!
