It’s the summer of 1975 all over again — but this time we’re not afraid to go back in the water. Michelle and Cherie are diving deep into Jaws, Steven Spielberg’s game-changing thriller that spawned the “summer blockbuster”.
In this episode:
- Spielberg’s sinking mechanical shark (nicknamed “Bruce”) that accidentally made the movie scarier.
- The terrifyingly effective two-note score from John Williams.
- Casting “what ifs” — including Charlton Heston, Robert Duvall, and a young Jeff Bridges.
- Why Jaws made everyone think twice before swimming in the ocean.
- The legacy of shark movies, parodies, and the puzzling fascination with all things shark.
- And yes, the real-life 4,000+ pound shark named Contender making headlines today.
From blockbuster history to personal beach trip memories (complete with shark’s teeth), this episode celebrates 50 years of thrills, chills, and chum buckets.
