In this 50th anniversary episode, The Daily Jaws sits down with Charles de Lauzirika — award-winning producer and documentarian behind some of the most celebrated DVD and Blu-ray box sets ever released. Known for his restoration work on Alien 3 and producing Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner: The Final Cut, Charles joins Ross Williams to discuss his lifelong love of Jaws.

Charles recalls seeing Jaws on opening weekend in 1975, the unforgettable moment that first seared the film into his imagination, and how it became less a movie and more an “old friend.” He talks about his prized collection of vintage memorabilia, the lessons Jaws teaches about craft and editing, and why the barrels remain one of cinema’s greatest examples of invention born from limitation.
