Podcasts about Jaws

Sarah saw an old clip from the Ruins season of the Challenge with Susie and Sarah together, and we discuss why the boys bullied Sarah. We learn why time seems to be speeding up for everyone, and what you can do to slow it down. Sarah explains the strange nature of the Kardashians editing and why she enjoys vacuous movies and tv while Susie, who is a big fan of superficiality normally is a documentary junkie. We discuss why elephant seals drop like a stone in the ocean when they're sleeping, and why humans are far more vulnerable when they snooze each night. Susie finally watched Jaws a half century after it's premiere, and she has some thoughts about the "f*cked up" plot, the illogical title, and questions about the sequels. This is the belated movie review no one asked for, but everyone needs.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Right now, you can stack our code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.com on top of their sitewide sale - giving you up to 40% off in savings.

General Francisco Franco died in November 1975, ending 36 years of dictatorship over Spain. The general had been in power since 1939 after winning the country's bloody civil war, and his death followed a long illness.He was mourned by conservative Spaniards but those on the left celebrated, calling him a fascist who had once been an ally of Hitler and Mussolini.In 2015, Louise Hidalgo spoke to Jose Antonio Martinez Soler, a young journalist about the ending of an era.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

And for me and my bro, one of those games was Jaws for the NES.To be fair, it actually isn't the worst NES game based on a movie in the NES library. Or the worst LJN NES game for that matter. You sail around in a boat killing animals and collecting shells that you use for stronger guns to shoot Jaws. You also bomb jellyfish from a plane. And that's, well, that's pretty much. It isn't particular deep, but it's not particularly awful, either.My boy Dan from Dissect That Film returns to this week to talk about hunting sharks. He also gives me a bit of an explanation as to how this ties into the movie, WHICH movie it ties into, and we talk about ideas for a modern jaws game as well. This episode is longer than the game is. It's not a flex, but it is a fact.And before we look for a bigger boat, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks if Mass Effect 1 is worth getting through to reach the phenomenal Mass Effect 2? A few people ask about Kingdom Hearts, so I share my long-standing thoughts on that series and why I don't want to touch it.

In this episode of our 2025 series in which we discuss classics from 1975 and 1995 we are turning our attention to Night Moves directed by Arthur Penn. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie executes on the film noir template with its convoluted plots and morally ambiguous characterizations and how it functions as its subversion. We debate the possible reasons why this movie was misunderstood and unsuccessful upon release, and why competing against Jaws for box office dollars might have had something to do with it. We also delve into the controversy surrounding explicit scenes featuring young Melanie Griffith and the equally problematic ways the studio wanted to 'solve' what they clearly identified as a moral issue. Finally, we wonder just how many times one has to watch Night Moves to begin to like its subversive new-wave commentary on noir.Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Rich Foster⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Head over to our website to find out more!

In the summer of 2015, there was a surge in the number of people from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, seeking asylum in Europe. Social Democrat politician Aydan Özoğuz was Angela Merkel's minister of state concerned with immigration, refugees and integration from 2013 to 2018. She describes to Josephine McDermott visiting her father's home city of Kilis in Turkey, near the Syrian border in 2015, where refugees were being sheltered. And she recalls the motivation for Mrs Merkel's decision to suspend the EU's Dublin Regulation which temporarily allowed free passage for Syrian asylum seekers, but drew opposition from critics.

For the past 50 years, composer John Williams has arguably been the defining sound of cinema. Although he began composing music for TV and film in the 1950s, it wouldn't be until the 1970s that he broke big, thanks to that iconic soundtrack to Stephen Spielberg's Jaws. From there he would go on to provide the music for a slew of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, and most poignant films, as well as recognizable anthems for pop-culture mainstays like the Olympic Games and NBC Nightly News. John Williams is an American icon, and a definitive creator in film and music. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best John Williams Film Score.  Scores discussed: Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hook, Return of the Jedi, The Empire Strikes Back, Jurassic Park, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Home Alone, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Schindler's List, Superman Join host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Derek Mekita, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most recognizable film scores of all time.

Few films strike the perfect balance between dark humour, bleak violence, and unforgettable characters quite like Fargo (1996). In this week's Born to Watch deep dive, the boys return to the bitter cold of Minnesota to revisit a Coen Brothers classic in our full Fargo Movie 1996 Review. Whitey, Gow and Morgz each recount their own memories of first seeing Fargo, or in Dan's case, pretending he remembers anything from the 90s, before jumping headfirst into one of the most uniquely crafted crime films ever made.The episode kicks off with the lads debating their first screening. Whitey vividly remembers dragging everyone to the Dendy at Martin Place, feeling like a highbrow film buff discovering something special. Gow recalls the off-beat charm hitting him straight away. Dan, naturally, remembers nothing, except that he probably recommended the film, selected the seats, and probably did everything else. Classic Morgz. From there, the group dives into just how extraordinary Fargo's cast was at the time. The Coens pulled together a line-up of "relative nobodies" only to turn them into household names nearly three decades later.The chat quickly turns to Minnesota cold weather, obscure fast-food chains, and one of the great running bits of the episode, exactly how many times Morgz allegedly found himself "accidentally" next to someone mid-romp during their travels. The boys also unpack the brilliance of Frances McDormand's Marge Gunderson, who doesn't even appear in the film's first 34 minutes but completely owns the narrative once she arrives. She's sharp, funny, methodical, and easily one of the greatest characters of the '90s.Whitey breaks down the film's critical reception, comparing its Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb scores with those of past Born to Watch heavy hitters, such as Jaws, Rocky, The Terminator, and Catch Me If You Can. Morgs jumps in with Film School for Fuckheads, exploring how the Coens weaponised "Minnesota Nice" to create tension using politeness, silence, and awkwardness as narrative devices. From the meticulously written stuttering dialogue in William H. Macy's script to the off-kilter pacing of small-town conversations, the Coens built an atmosphere where the horror is subtle, creeping, and drenched in snow.Gow rolls through the cast, shining a spotlight on Steve Buscemi's legendary "funny looking" performance and the near-silent menace of Peter Stormare, who delivers only 18 lines across the film yet becomes one of its most iconic figures. The boys get into the famous wood-chipper scene, the fake "true story" marketing trick, and how half the audience in 1996 genuinely believed the events were real.There's also classic Born to Watch chaos, from detours into Shameless, to the worst movie endings ever made, to hookers in Hawaii, to Playboy magazines in glove boxes, to the eternal question: "Would you make sure your licence plates were right if you'd just kidnapped someone?"  Just another Wednesday on Born to Watch.The crew rounds things out with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, celebrating the film's tight 94-minute runtime, near-perfect dialogue, incredible performances, legendary cinematography from Roger Deakins, and the deep satisfaction of a crime story where normal, everyday people take centre stage.Fargo isn't just a film, it's a vibe. A cold, bleak, funny, violent, polite vibe that the Born to Watch boys unpack with equal parts nostalgia and nonsense. Strap in, grab your Arby's, and enjoy one of our best episodes yet.#YouBetchaJOIN THE CONVERSATION  Is Fargo the greatest dark comedy of the '90s? Does the wood-chipper still make you squirm? And is Marge Gunderson the most likable cop in movie history?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or BornToWatch.com.auLeave us a five-star review; it helps the show more than you know. #Fargo1996 #FargoMovie1996Review #BornToWatchPodcast #CoenBrothers #FrancesMcDormand #MinnesotaNice #MovieReviewPodcast #90sMovies #DarkComedyFilms #FilmNerds

Forty years ago, in November 1985, two of the world's most powerful leaders met for the first time. With Cold War tensions running high and the nuclear arms race dominating global politics, US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev came together for the first time at the Geneva Summit.

Join us for a killer conversation with filmmaker Aaron B. Koontz as we dive into the world of genre cinema. We get into the new movie Shelby Oaks, his series Revival that is streaming now on Peacock, break down the wild ride that is Scare Package 1 & 2, and talk shop about fellow creators like Adam Wingard, Steven Kostanski, and more. Of course, it wouldn't be Scaredycast without taking a detour into the legendary Jaws franchise, swapping horror hot takes, and nerding out over the movies that shaped us. It's filmmaking deep dives, shark praise, horror geekery, and pure genre joy — all in one episode.

The Depths of Horror: Exploring Barry Levinson's The BayIn this episode, Brian and Jeff delve into Barry Levinson's 2012 found footage horror film, 'The Bay.' Set during a disastrous 4th of July celebration in Claridge, Maryland, the film intertwines environmental horror with a mockumentary format. The story follows reporter Donna Thompson as she navigates through a town descending into chaos due to a waterborne outbreak. Drawing parallels to 'Jaws,' the hosts examine how 'The Bay' critiques human neglect and environmental irresponsibility while utilizing modern technology to heighten its impact. They also explore themes of surveillance, the narrative coherence of found footage, and the unsettling reality it brings to life. Ultimately, the episode underscores how horror can reveal uncomfortable truths about our world, sparking a rich discussion on the intersections of joy, terror, and societal reflection.Buy us a CoffeeMimesis of Media: Found Footage Cinema and the Horror of the Real by Niel McRobertFound Footage Horror Films - A Cognitive Approach by Pete Turner

This fascinating conversation between author Vicki Hastrich and host Terri Cowley delves into the final years of Hollywood legend Zane Grey and his trips to Australia to go game fishing and make films. Some key takeaways: Grey filmed the first Jaws-type move on Hayman Island called White Death Grey overcame a stroke to come back to Australia to hunt for great white sharks When the popular Grey arrived in Australia the response was akin to Beatlemania Grey's legacy in Australia included putting it on the map as a fishing destination Grey questioned Australia's treatment of its Aborignal peoples See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On 17 October 2009, the Maldives' top government officials donned their scuba gear for the world's first underwater cabinet meeting. Fish floated around while ministers communicated with hand gestures, white boards and special underwater pencils. Meanwhile on the surface, journalists jostled to see what was happening. The watery meeting was filmed and photographed and subsequently broadcast across the world. The President at the time, Mohamed Nasheed, wanted to show the world the impact climate change would have on his country if carbon dioxide emissions weren't curbed.

Against all odds, 1975's Jaws was released and before long, was labeled a certified hit. So it's safe to say that not firing a forward thinking young director for going over 100 days over budget paid off, and before the term was even uttered, Universal Studios had a franchise on their hands. But what next? Well, it would only seem fit that they would capitalize on it with a sequel. Of course, the studio approached their young wunderkind Steven Spielberg to see if he would like to direct the follow up. But, after the nightmare that was the first one, plus his at the time complete disdain for anything and everything that was sequel related, Spielberg passed. So after a couple other attempts with a couple other directors, the studio settled on TV director Jeannot Szwarc. And despite the film running into many of the same problems the original did, (as well as a very disgruntled Roy Schneider being so angry about having to do this film he was getting in literal fights with Szwarc) Jaws 2 was released in 1978 and was a certified hit. Despite this success, there was one person who it passed over, and that is our very own Adam Bunch. See, Adam has never seen Jaws 2. Until now. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they review Jaws 2, and find out if their love for the first one carries over onto this one.

President Donald J. Trump appears to have uncharacteristically made a terrible political misstep in his recent interview by Laura Ingraham on FOX News—perhaps a politically fatal misstep, if not promptly checked by Trump himself. The issue? Trump's statements in defense of the continued use of H1B work visas to import low-cost third-world labor, almost entirely from India, as well as hundreds of thousands of student visas for Chinese students enrolled at American universities. The American people who have supported Trump and the MAGA movement have largely done so from an “America-first” perspective—that the Democrats were intend on flooding America with tens of millions of third-world migrants with whom Americans are then compelled to compete for every scarce resource—employment, education, housing, healthcare, social services, everything necessary to life. Trump's MAGA and America-first message stood in sharp contrast to the Democrat third-world platform and attracted millions of young adult Americans who are suffering most from an employment and housing market made artificially costly and competitive precisely because of mass third-world migration into the US, both legal and illegal. Trump's statements in defense of large-scale third-world migration into the US stand in sharp contrast to the American-first vision sold to the American body politic, and the negative response from long-time Trump supporters has been intense and vitriolic. What's REALLY going on?

In November 1945, the first major war crimes trial in history opened in the German city of Nuremberg. Senior Nazis who had committed atrocities during World War Two were prosecuted by the victorious Allied powers of Britain, the USA, France and the Soviet Union. In 2014, Louise Hidalgo spoke to Benjamin Ferencz, who helped unearth evidence of mass murder by the Nazi mobile death squads and prosecuted them in Nuremberg.

Rachel Maddow looks at the powerful political momentum Democrats had built, including massive nationwide protests and a wildly successful election, only to have their unity falter on the shutdown fight with Republicans, resulting in capitulation that leaves many Americans who'd been encouraging Democrats to stand up and fight feeling hopeless and dispirited. Senator Bernie Sanders talks with Maddow about his objections to vote, Democratic plans going forward, and why "the Democratic establishment" should be the target of primarying.Rachel Maddow reports on a new set of dubious pardons from Donald Trump, this time of people involved in his schemes to overturn his 2020 election loss, on top of previous pardons of January 6 insurrectionists, and several with whom he has business conflicts. From these pardons a pattern is emerging that law-breaking is permissible when it's done in the service of Trump. Former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer joins to discuss.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Abbey Blue Eyes takes the Alpha helm solo while the rest of the crew heads to Cocoa Beach, delivering a cozy, hilarious, and surprisingly educational Alphas Make Sandwiches. From building sheds in rainy Alaska to going off-grid and self-sustaining, Abbey ties real-life homesteading to freedom, capitalism, and the value of hard work. She then treats listeners to a mini Shark Week special, diving deep into shark history, mythology, and pop culture, from ancient legends and the invention of the Turtle submarine to how Jaws shaped shark propaganda and modern marine research. The conversation flows into culture and comedy, including the girls' iconic GART photo shoot, beauty hacks like lymphatic massage, ‘80s hair talk, and the joy of being real women in a world gone synthetic. Funny, smart, and full of heart, Abbey's solo show is the perfect blend of girl power, history, and hilarity, proof that even alone, an Alpha still shines.

Are smart glasses and AI screen readers the future of accessible tech? Steven Scott and Shaun Preece share real-world frustrations and wins with Windows, macOS, Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, and the rise of AI-powered tools like Copilot and Be My Eyes.In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun dive into the day-to-day realities of living and working with modern assistive technology. Steven vents about painfully slow Windows performance using JAWS on a Lenovo laptop, while Shaun offers insights into indexing delays, driver issues, and quirky start menu behaviour. The conversation expands to comparing macOS and Windows accessibility, from VoiceOver struggles in macOS Tahoe to the unpredictability of Windows pop‑ups and AI Copilot integration. The hosts then debate the emerging wave of AI‑powered assistive tech. They discuss the Meta Ray‑Ban smart glasses versus specialist devices like the Ally Solo and upcoming Echo Vision, questioning whether subscription models for niche products can compete with mainstream consumer tech. Real experiences with AI tools—from reading expiry dates to drafting professional emails and even using Copilot in Notepad—highlight both the breakthroughs and the current limitations. The episode closes with a look ahead to Sight Village London, where they plan to test a portable, fully accessible content creation kit, combining iPads, Zoom PodTrak P4, and Apple's VoiceOver for video and audio recording.Relevant LinksBe My Eyes: https://www.bemyeyes.comAira: https://aira.ioSight Village London: https://www.sightandsound.co.uk/events Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with Tyra Banks' attempt to launch “hot ice cream” and the 50th anniversary of Jaws. The hosts then turn their attention to the now-infamous Mississippi “herpes monkey” story, where an escaped lab monkey was fatally shot after a highway crash left one still on the loose. They react to the viral interview that followed, unpacking how a small-town encounter spiraled into national headlines and online hysteria. From there, they rediscover the long-lost reality show Gary Busey: Pet Judge, exploring how the actor's bizarre courtroom rants unintentionally capture the absurdity of modern entertainment. The episode pivots into a heated cultural debate after a viral clip from Gold's Gym in Los Angeles shows a woman confronting management for allowing a biological man in the women's locker room. The hosts weigh in on safety, double standards, and the growing confusion around privacy and identity in public spaces. Lighter moments return as they trade post-Halloween stories about over-the-top neighborhood displays, unexpected adult treats, and childhood memories of awkward school “safety” programs. The night wraps with an irreverent take on political headlines and the show's signature blend of skepticism and satire about fame, hypocrisy, and the line between news and parody. Today's guests on "Normal World" are Kevin Sullivan and Frank Easterling from the 21 Gun Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 1965, a groundbreaking children's show using cutting-edge puppets first blast onto television screens. Thunderbirds was set in 2065 and followed the antics of secret organisation ‘International Rescue' which was manned by Jeff Tracy, his team of five sons and agent Lady Penelope. Set up to save humanity, the characters travelled in futuristic vehicles across land, sea and air from their remote base in Tracy Island. It was created by husband and wife Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who used supermarionation, a pioneering technique with thin wires which controlled the puppets' movements. Their daughter Dee Anderson speaks to Reena Stanton-Sharma.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.
