July 25, 2021 Episode 10- Jaws (1975) Audio Commentary
Antony is rejoined by fellow film podcaster and Jaws superfan Scott Phipps (see Episode 2) for an audio companion to the evergreen classic film from the 1970s along with some bonus material after the film discussing some other aspects of it, such as books, documentaries, sequels and recuts. The film is audible at low volume in the background but if you would like to follow along with your copy of the film (recommended), we give a time stamp at the beginning. We hope you enjoy it, and there are links to Scott's work and useful Jaws-related links below.
This commentary is also on you tube
