For Your ReConsideration: Jaws (1975)

OscarWatch Podcast

Just in time for summer, Amy and Steve grab the biggest boat we can find and set sail for shark infested waters with a look back at Steven Spielberg's gamechanging film, Jaws (1975. The old adage 'less is more' has never been truer than with the iconic shark, who is still terrifying swimmers 40 years later. More than a sharkfest, the film works because of its three main characters; because who doesn't love Quint (or his introduction?). And no conversation about the movie is ever complete without a long discussion of John Williams' iconic score. All that and a bucket of chum, this week on the podcast. Thanks for listening! Do you think Jaws deserves its place in history, or like Bruce the Shark, does it fall apart under scrutiny?
