ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Fifty years ago, Jaws forever changed the way we experience movies. In this episode, Jeff Cook, Sean Palmer, and Mike Yeager revisit Spielberg’s classic on its 50th anniversary and explore why it remains one of the greatest films ever made. From the birth of the summer blockbuster to John Williams’ iconic score, from themes of community crisis and outsiders to the haunting parallels with modern events like COVID, the conversation dives deep into what makes Jaws timeless. Along the way, we unpack representation, class, paranoia in 1970s cinema, and the unseen fears that still shape our culture today.
Join us as we ask: What does Jaws reveal about who we are—and how we respond when the waters get dangerous?
