Jaws (1975)
<p>We're gonna need a bigger podcast! Tonight on Politics In Movies, Mike and Billy sink their chompers into Jaws. The classic 1975 American Thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg. Based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley. Written by Peter Benchley and Carl Gottlieb. Produced by Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown. Starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary and Murray Hamilton. Music by John Williams. I think it's funny that we discussed how the technical limitations of Bruce the Shark not working most of the time ended up improving the movie since this was recorded around the time my mic started crapping out and I'm not exactly sure that improved this episode. Meta. So fair warning, I did my best to clean up the audio but it's still a little jagged in some parts, like the teeth of a Great White Shark. So enjoy as best you can.
