Zach Galligan - best known for his role as Billy Peltzer in Gremlins joins Ross to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws. Zach shares the story of how Spielberg personally cast him after watching a single audition tape, the lingering terror Jaws gave him as a kid swimming in Long Island waters, and how working with Roy Scheider became a defining moment in his early career.
The pair also dive into the power of practical effects, from the malfunctioning shark on Jaws to the evolution of Gizmo in Gremlins, and speculate about the future of Gremlins 3. There’s even time for Zach to confess the surreal moment he realised he, like Ke Huy Quan, got his big break from Spielberg.
And just when he thinks it’s safe to sit down for a podcast, a surprise guest crashes the interview to lay down the law.
