Original idea for a podcast. Great commentary on nearly perfect film. Highly recommend
Ah Whaaaaaaaaaaat!!!
Jaws is a top 3 favorite film of mine and I've enjoyed having a podcast dedicated to breaking the film down they way this one does.
A fun ride!
I was instantly intrigued when I saw a podcast dedicated to the intricate, detailed peeling apart of my all time favourite movie, Jaws. I knew I would learn a few things I didn’t already know about Jaws but was pleasantly surprised at the amount of laughs I have had listening. The hosts MJ and Sarah have great chemistry, are not afraid to throw out wild theories and go on incredible tangents. Guest cohosts are often wonderful additions. An all round fun ride of a podcast.
