Better Than the Movie, Ep. 5: JAWS w/ Kristen Lopez

Listen Later

Just when you thought it was safe to download a podcast... The BTTM fellas are back to talk JAWS with film writer and podcaster Kristen Lopez (who discussed her book about 52 classic film adaptations BUT HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK? on a recent Skylit episode). Steven Spielberg's film has become an American classic, but what about Peter Benchley's original novel? It's got more sex, more mafia enforcers, and more small town economic hardship -- but is it better than the movie?

 

Produced by Justin Remer, Allan Traylor, and Mick Kowaleski


Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire

Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band
