It's a beautiful day, the beaches are open, and everyone is having a wonderful time! This 4th of July weekend the Brides are headed to Amity for the third season premiere, talking about all things Jaws! This movie is the big bad granddaddy of summer blockbusters, in which every single thing that could go wrong on a film shoot, did so in catastrophic fashion. Seriously, who thought to build a mechanical shark without testing it in the ocean? Along the way we discuss how this movie is basically a Law and Order episode starring a shark, the places this movie walks so Jurassic Park could run, the agonizing realization that Mayor Vaughn handled the shark attacks like Trump handled COVID-19, and the joys of Richard Dreyfuss and his "short guy energy." We also acknowledge that despite the film one hundred percent being every bit as effective and fun as ever, there is one shot in particular that really doesn't hold up. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. AMITY MEANS FRIENDSHIP!

Jaws. 1975. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Written by Peter Benchley and Carl Gottlieb. Starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw, Lorraine Gary, and Murray Hamilton.
