Join Sarah and MJ as they dive into the next few chapters of Carl Gottlieb's The Jaws Log, exploring the creation of Bruce the Shark, the efforts to get a real shark, and Richard Dreyfuss' *ahem* island exploits.

We dive into the problematic elements of Jaws' legacy, and potentially get sued by two different people. Listen now wherever you find your pods!

Back to our regularly scheduled programming, Sarah and MJ discuss chapters 6 - 8 of The Jaws Log. Here, they learn about the casting process, compare their 2025 expereince with the politics of Martha's Vineyard to those experienced by the Jaws crew, and Robert Shaw's less than friendly welcome to the island. Also they talk about the menaces that were Spielberg's dogs.

In this very special (and very long!) episode, Sarah & MJ give the full rundown of their Martha's Vineyard and Boston adventures for the 50th anniversary of Jaws. As well as talking about all the Jaws-y stuff we did, we get into the plethora of great lobster rolls available on MV, what MJ thinks of some quintessentially British snacks, and why Sarah is now evangelising about Koozies to everyone she meets.

It's the first ever live and in person LJFAM! Recorded in person at Nick Mear's (Johnny4Boats) very echo-y AirBnB in Martha's Vineyard. Nick put together a sprawling quiz about the Jaws franchise, other shark movies, and our boy Spielberg's career that has everything including a dramatic ending! This is the first of two very special 50th anniversary episodes of LJFAM

Summer Chompin' continues with the next instalment in our series on The Jaws Log. This week, Sarah and MJ get deep in the weeds of pre-production on the film, go over the names of the major (and potentially major) players, learn about Carl Rizzo's harrowing Australian adventure, and find out about Hollywood accounting.

Summer Chompin' (#JawsGirlSummer) kicks off with the first two chapters of Carl Gottlieb's account of the making of Jaws, The Jaws Log. Sarah and MJ talk about the wit of Gottlieb's writing, their love of books about movies, and how Gottlieb was the perfect choice to write the definitive work on the making of one of the greatest movies ever made.

Silly naming convention is back for our longest episode to date. Sarah and MJ are joined by The Nicest Man in Podcasting, Harley Mumford to talk about Jordan Peele's masterwork, NOPE. The conversation goes all sorts of places from reckoning with the legacy of your chosen art form to the dangers of being arrogant around nature, and wraps up with some talk about Hollywood budgeting that leaves Harley a shell of his former self.

This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Rob Wallis to discuss Tremors and nothing else out of the ordinary. Just a couple of pals getting together to talk about the excellent Fred Ward/Kevin Bacon vehicle Tremors. They talk about the efficient storytelling and sense of place, and not Mr. Blobby ever.

This week, Sarah and MJ head to Maine to discuss the giant crocodile film Lake Placid. They talk about what makes a good creature feature, why Lake Placid falls flat despite having most of the ingredients of a good creature feature, and Oliver Platt's raw magnetism, as well as Ebert's review and some of the most memorable lines they've seen in this season!

This week, Sarah and MJ tackle a film that takes broad and abstract inspiration from Jaws: Basic Instinct. They wax poetic about erotic thrillers, Jerry Goldsmith, and their favorite topic, replacing one of the lead actors with Roy Scheider.
