"I was grinning like an idiot." - Matt Levine, co-host of Camp Kaiju. So that's it. Review over.

This is what we've been debating on our road trip... anyways, we're making a pit-stop to stretch our legs. Where do you think DUEL ranks in the Spielberg canon?

Plus, hear Vincent recount an unnerving experience on the road.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-kaiju/support
