    Jamie Benning - Jaws 50th Anniversary Interview Series

    For this 50th anniversary conversation, Ross is joined by filmmaker and podcaster Jamie Benning, the creator of the celebrated Filmumentaries series and the fan-favourite project Inside Jaws. Jamie has spent years blending behind-the-scenes stories, rare footage and commentary into immersive explorations of cinema’s most iconic films. In this wide-ranging discussion, Jamie shares his personal journey with Jaws — from first encountering the terrifying poster as a child, to watching the ITV broadcast with millions of others in the early 1980s, and eventually creating Inside Jaws, a painstaking love letter to Spielberg’s classic. He reflects on how the film’s communal cinema experience still resonates today, why its editing, sound design and performances remain timeless, and how it continues to inspire empathy and fear in equal measure. Jamie and Ross also dive into the importance of collaboration on set, the legacy of Verna Fields, Bill Butler and John Williams, and the way small details — from Brody knocking over paintbrushes to the bell on the buoy — help ground the story. They discuss the book versus the film, the often-maligned sequels, the possibilities for a future Jaws experience, and the cultural impact of shark movies in the years since 1975. It’s a fascinating conversation with someone who has helped preserve and celebrate the history of Jaws for a new generation of fans.
