Jaws

This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Michael and Jonathan jump in the ocean for the 1975 thriller, "Jaws."

Though we usually see eye to eye (or at least close to it), it was "disagreement" week on the podcast. Michael argued that Jaws is peak joyride filmmaking, with great character development, director Steven Spielberg's masterful ratcheting up of suspense and tension, and the film's bravura set-pieces. Jonathan praised the editing and cinematography, but found the movie a bit bloated and unrealistic. Both agreed, however, that Jaws forever changed 70s filmmaking -- and not necessarily for the better.

So grab two bottles of wine, check your scars for authenticity, and give this week's episode a listen!
