Jaws (EP10)
Listen now
Description
In the final episode of season one, we get you the head, the tail, the whole damn thing with the 1975 Spielberg thriller JAWS.   After Mike divulges his childhood obsession with sharks (7:26), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with how well the carnage and violence still hold up (9:49). We get into the Indianapolis monologue (15:50), the legendary John Williams score (20:14) and delve into why Richard Dreyfus’ performance was so good (27:56). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with ways we’d bring down the film’s bloated length (32:57). We talk about the flaws in the third act quest to kill the shark (38:48), Robert Shaw’s over-acting (42:56), and Shane compares Jaws to a regular season baseball game (48:24). We end with an epic throw down between Mike and Pops over the antagonists both in Jaws and in the movie Interstellar (50:24).
