Cinema Drive welcomes filmmaker David Bigelow to the show! David joins his friend Aaron Kai, the master of hyperrealistic movie art, for a heartfelt discussion about the film that STILL makes people afraid to go in the water.

David thrills Jason and Ryan with his stories of the production of Jaws (1975), a film in which he himself was an extra! This experience and his own history with Martha's Vineyard ultimately led him to his passion project about that community and their heavy involvement in the film's production. Tune in to learn about his upcoming documentary Making the Monster and its unique look into one of the biggest movies of all time.

Recorded on June 20, 2023, the 48th anniversary of the release of Jaws!
