That Film Stew Podcast

Jason and Rob are back with another episode of Rewind & Review - the retrospective podcast where we dust off the classics, revisit the forgotten gems, and dive deep into the movies and TV shows that shaped us. In this episode we hit pause on the present and rewind to 1975 for Jaws - the thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley. When a young woman is killed by a shark near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engage in an epic battle of man vs. Nature.
