How to Survive: Jaws (1975)
Episode description
This week we're talking about the head, the tail, the whole damn thing... it's Jaws!
Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975) was the first summer blockbuster - and what a blockbuster it was! Jaws tells the story of Police Chief Martin Brody, and his attempts to keep the island town of Amity safe from a marauding great-white with a taste for tourists.
We talk about the questionable business acumen displayed by a small-town mayor; the appropriateness of a seaside town hiring a Police Chief with a fear of water; and the pros and cons of giving a whole town a deadly neurological disease.
All of which leads to one big question:
How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... we're gonna need a bigger boat!
Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
