Podcasts about Peter Benchley

Fifty years ago this summer, Jaws was released in the US. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the bestselling novel by Peter Benchley, the film - about a coastal resort town threatened by a great white stark at the busiest time of the year - was a groundbreaking box office phenomenon.Jaws changed the industry overnight - pioneering new marketing and release patterns, and altering the focus and mix of movies that Hollywood made - some say for the worse. From Jaws and Star Wars through to the double whammy of Barbenheimer, summer blockbusters have dominated cinemas. But is this changing? And is there more to the summer blockbuster than big box office and a summer release date? Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode join the queue for popcorn to explore the genre. Mark speaks to critic and author Tim Robey about how Jaws went from potential disaster to record-breaking hit, and about the summer blockbusters that followed. And he also speaks to Jenny He, senior exhibitions curator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, about the museum's forthcoming ‘Jaws: The Exhibition' and the marketing techniques that helped make the 1975 film such a success. Meanwhile, Ellen talks to pop culture critic Kayleigh Donaldson about box office mega-hits for the modern age - and how the inescapable megalith of Marvel has impacted the summer film landscape. And Ellen also speaks to Canadian filmmaker Nyla Innuksuk about her 2022 film Slash/Back - a Spielberg-influenced summer-blockbuster-in-spirit sci-fi adventure movie set in the remote Arctic fishing town of Pangnirtung.

YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO AMITY ISLAND FOR A SHARK MASSACRE!! IN FACT, YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A SHARK!!   It's easy to recognize a Jaws knock-off when it revolves around a shark eating people, but what about all of those movies without sharks that lift scenes and ideas from Steven Spielberg's film and Peter Benchley's novel? Well, around here we call those movies “Jaws, Minus the Shark” movies and they make up a surprisingly versatile and eclectic little subgenre, one full of Brodys, Quints, and inordinately sexy Hoopers.   Join Gabe and Ann-Marie Taylor – returning to Genre Grinder for the first time since 2020's Bad Shark Movies episode – as we explore what defines a Jaws, Minus the Shark movie and look at four such films: Michael Anderson's Orca (aka: Orca: The Killer Whale, 1977), Lewis Teague's Alligator (1980), Dick Maas' The Lift (Dutch: De Lift, 1983), and Christophe Gans' Brotherhood of the Wolf (French: Le Pacte des loups, 2001).   Note: There's something going on with my mic during this recording that makes me sound a little weird. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I was editing. Apologies.   00:00 – Intro 10:48 – Orca (and the unfortunate truth of killer whales in captivity) 50:08 – Alligator 1:10:32 – The Lift 1:33:50 – Brotherhood of the Wolf 2:02:42 – Outro   If you are in a position to make the world a better place, please consider the following fundraisers: Justice for Sonya Massey: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-sonya-massey Palestine Children's Relief Fund: https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/gaza-relief Anera Gaza Aid: https://www.anera.org/where-we-work/palestine/gaza/ Donations 4 Abortions (state by state abortion funds): https://donations4abortion.com/

For the first time ever this summer—and on the 50th anniversary of Jaws—shark warning signs will go up on some Atlantic beaches in Canada. It's an effort to keep people informed as the shark population in the area seems to be surging, and with it the number of encounters with humans.What's driving the increase in numbers? What have we learned about shark behaviour in our waters? Should kayakers and boarders be worried? And half a century after Peter Benchley's novel turned the world against these supposed "man-eaters", how much better do we understand them?GUEST: Fred Whoriskey, executive director of the Ocean Tracking Network at Dalhousie University We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Send us a Text Message.Fifty years ago, a human vs. beast thriller set in a summer beach town was published and devoured by readers. That book was Jaws, a best-selling novel that spawned a blockbuster movie the following year. Between the book and the film, we were all afraid to go back in the water. Peter Benchley, an established journalist and speechwriter, was instantly catapulted to fame as an author. Getting to that point took moxie! In this Moxie by Proxy episode, we talk with Nat Benchley, Peter's brother. Through Nat, we learn more about Peter's writing and how he often took a true story or incident and asked the question, “What if…?” An article that Peter carried in his wallet about a shark caught off Montauk became the launching point for Jaws. Having lived on Nantucket in his youth, Peter understood the tensions between the summer population and the year-rounders and the dependence of a small beach town on the income they make during the summer months. These social and economic dynamics form the backdrop to the drama unfolding on the water.The impact of Jaws, both book and movie, was a tidal wave of aggression against, and misunderstandings about, sharks. In the wake of that unfortunate outbreak, Peter and his wife Wendy began a lifelong crusade to educate about sharks and advocate for policies that protect them. Wendy Benchley continues that work today. Once educated about the fascinating world of sharks, Peter declared he could never again write a tale that villainized those magnificent creatures. He spent the rest of his life advocating for the protection and preservation of the species.To understand Peter's creative moxie, Nat delves into the Benchley family. Nat recounts stories of their grandfather, Robert Benchley, humorist, writer, actor, and member of the famed Algonquin Round Table; his father, Nathaniel Benchley, author of numerous books and articles, including The Off-Islanders, which became the movie “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming!;” Peter as a journalist, author, and ocean advocate; and himself as a writer, actor, and performer. The intergenerational creative moxie running through the Benchley family is solid and enduring.

It's finally time to cover the adaptation that inspired this show! Set sail on the Orca with Emma and Marn for a nearly two-hour discussion about the beast known as Jaws. Bridge the brief gap between Benchley's 1974 hit novel and Spielberg's inaugural summer blockbuster in 1975 with these two podcasters as Marn lets Emma gush about real-life shark footage, Hooper's affair with Brody's wife, and mafia subplots.   Content warnings for Jaws include: graphic shark attacks, child death, graphic descriptions of sharks being killed, infidelity, mentions of rape and rape fantasy, 70's-pulp typical nudity and horniness, and insufferable rich scientists.   The extra book Emma read for this episode is The Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb. Emma read the 25th anniversary edition with introduction by Peter Benchley.   You can find Emma on twitter @ematsca and the show @UnselectPod. Marn can be found on most social media @corpserevivers.

The real-life ‘Shark Week' that inspired Peter Benchley's novel Jaws kicked off with the shocking mauling of 23 year-old Charles Vansant off the coast of Beach Haven on 1st July, 1916.  At first, the public refused to believe that a shark could be responsible.But five days later, another attack occurred at Spring Lake, claiming the life of Swissman Charles Bruder, whose legs were completely severed.  The spate of shark attacks that followed this became known as ‘12 Days of Terror', capturing national attention, and leading President Woodrow Wilson to authorise federal aid to ‘drive away' the sharks from New Jersey.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly unpick the early hypotheses, from killer whales to sea turtles; explain why so many beachgoers couldn't swim; and consider how one shark ended up in the hands of a Barnum & Bailey lion tamer…  CONTENT WARNING: gore, description of death by shark attack Further Reading: • ‘The Real-Life 'Jaws' That Terrorized the Jersey Shore' (HISTORY, ): https://www.history.com/news/the-real-life-jaws-that-terrorized-the-jersey-shore • ‘Spielberg tells of guilt over harm hit film Jaws may have done to sharks' (The Guardian, 2022): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/dec/18/steven-spielberg-tells-of-guilt-jaws-film-sharks • 'SHARK ATTACK Caught on Camera!'

1. Jaws Post on Facebook on June 29th mentioned the Quint speech from Jaws, which, for all it's wonderful, has the wrong date "So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb." https://www.history.navy.mil/.../after-action-report-of... BUT...the date is completely wrong. It was July 30, 1945 - just after midnight, local time, right about 2 weeks after Trinity, a week before Hiroshima. http://www.ussunderhill.org/html/sorryno.htm About a week before Indianapolis was sunk, a destroyer escort USS Underhill, was attacked in the same area. An article about the attack, "Sorry, No Ice Cream," was written by one Nathaniel Benchley....father of Peter Benchley, author. Some later posts wished Robert Shaw a happy birthday. It's not June 29th, or even July 30 - it's August 9. Born in 1927, he turned 18 the day Nagasaki was bombed, so wasn't actually GI generation nor able to be in the war. (But also he was British, not American, and so was dealing with the war in Britain for all of his teenage years.) Quint says he saw the first shark 30 minutes after they went in the water - but that would have been between midnight and 1AM. However, the moon was up (it had risen at 10:28PM) and was just past full, so (to the extent the exact details matter in this speech) there probably would have been enough light to see by. 2. Brats and and the start of Gen x politics Heathers - I was off by a year, it was released in 1988, not 1989. Writer was Daniel Waters, born 1962. Highlander  - got the release year right, but according to IMDB screenwriter Gregory Widen was born in 1958, making him a later Boom generation.   Steven Soderbergh is solidly X, born 1963. He wrote and directed Sex Lies and Videotape, which was released in 1989.   3. On the state of the election   On inflation, government efforts, and the end of the Fourth Turning.

Like a Doll's Eyes: Steven Spielberg's JAWS This week, a classic . . . in 1975 Steven Spielberg changed the face of cinema with his adaptation of Peter Benchley's 1974 novel Jaws.  The story of a man-eating shark terrorizing a small island community, Jaws would usher in a new era of moviegoing. There's little that should be written in this episode synopsis; the history and legacy of Spielberg's film is well known. But conversation is always a good time, and we would love for you to join us as we break down this classic. From casting (Schreider/Dreyfuss/Shaw), shotting on the ocean, a mechanical shark - constantly breaking down, and that iconic Indianapolis speech, we cover the impact and our love for this masterpiece.

This week marine biologist and world reknowned shark expert Melissa Cristina Márquez dives in to talk all things Jaws. We talk about her career as a scientist, the role of sharks in the ecosystem, and the impact the book and film had on global shark populations. This is a different look for HATM and a lot of fun talking to an inspiring scholar. We're gonna need a bigger pod.About our guest:Known as the "Mother of Sharks," Melissa Cristina Márquez is a Latina marine biologist and conservationist who studies sharks and their relatives (the skates, rays, and chimaeras- collectively, this groups of animals are known as 'Chondrichthyans').

In celebration of our 100th episode, what better film to dissect than "JAWS," the blockbuster that redefined the summer movie experience and cemented Steven Spielberg's status as a master storyteller. Released in 1975, "JAWS" not only terrorized audiences with its portrayal of a man-eating great white shark but also demonstrated the power of cinema to evoke primal fears and unforgettable suspense. Let's dive into the depths of "JAWS" and explore what makes it a cinematic masterpiece and a cultural phenomenon.The Genesis of Fear: A Simple Premise, An Unforgettable ImpactBased on Peter Benchley's novel, "JAWS" follows the harrowing ordeal of Amity Island, a fictional New England beach town, as it faces the deadly threat of a massive shark. Chief Brody (Roy Scheider), a New York cop turned local sheriff, marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and grizzled fisherman Quint (Robert Shaw) set out to kill the beast. Yet, the film's genius lies not in the story it tells but in how it tells it. Spielberg's direction transforms a straightforward plot into a masterclass in tension, pacing, and fear, making the unseen and the unknown our greatest terror.The Cinematic Craft: Building Tension Beneath the SurfaceSpielberg's innovative use of camera angles, John Williams' iconic score, and Verna Fields' tight editing work in concert to create an atmosphere thick with suspense. The decision to delay the full reveal of the shark until deep into the movie amplifies the suspense, making each attack all the more terrifying. Spielberg turns the ocean itself into a character, one that's beautiful yet menacing, inviting yet treacherous. The director's ability to coax fear from the mere suggestion of danger—using the audience's imagination against them—is a testament to his understanding of the horror genre's core principles.The Iconic Score: The Sound of FearJohn Williams' score for "JAWS" is nothing short of legendary. The simple, two-note motif has become synonymous with impending doom, illustrating how powerful a soundtrack can be in driving the emotional pulse of a film. Williams' music plays a pivotal role in building tension, often acting as the shark's unseen presence. It's a prime example of how sound can be used to heighten suspense and invoke visceral reactions from the audience.Characters and Performances: The Human ElementAt its heart, "JAWS" is a story about people, and Spielberg never loses sight of this amidst the thrills and chills. The film's central trio, Brody, Hooper, and Quint, are richly drawn characters brought to life by Scheider, Dreyfuss, and Shaw's compelling performances. Their dynamics—ranging from camaraderie to conflict—add depth to the narrative, making their quest to hunt the shark as much a personal journey as it is a battle for survival. Quint's Indianapolis monologue remains one of cinema's most powerful scenes, offering a glimpse into the scars that define us.Impact and Legacy: Changing the Tide of Cinema"JAWS" didn't just scare millions of people out of the water; it revolutionised the film industry. It was the first true "blockbuster," setting new standards for marketing, distribution, and box office expectations. The summer movie season, now a staple of the film industry, was essentially born with the release of "JAWS." Its success paved the way for high-concept films that prioritize spectacle and broad appeal, shaping the modern blockbuster landscape.Moreover, "JAWS" demonstrated the potential of special effects to enhance storytelling, despite the mechanical shark's frequent malfunctions. These technical difficulties inadvertently improved the film by forcing Spielberg to rely on suggestions rather than explicit visuals, a technique that would influence horror filmmakers for generations.The Cultural Phenomenon: Beyond the ScreenThe impact of "JAWS" extended far beyond movie theatres. It entered the public consciousness like few films before or since, influencing not only pop culture but also our perception of sharks and the ocean. Unfortunately, this led to widespread fear and misunderstanding of sharks, contributing to their vilification and the decline in some shark populations.Yet, the film also inspired legions of filmmakers and cinephiles, sparking a fascination with the power of cinema to create immersive, emotionally resonant experiences. It's a testament to "JAWS"'s enduring appeal that, nearly half a century later, it remains a subject of study, admiration, and, yes, fear.The Immortal "JAWS"As we celebrate our 100th episode by looking back at "JAWS," it's clear that Spielberg's masterpiece is more than just a movie. It's a landmark in filmmaking, a cultural touchstone, and a pivotal moment in cinematic history. Its ability to blend character, story, and technical innovation into a seamless and riveting experience is unmatched."JAWS" taught us that the most profound fears lurk in the unknown and that cinema has the unique ability to tap into those fears, creating unforgettable moments of suspense, terror, and ultimately, triumph. It's a film that continues to captivate, terrify, and inspire awe, proving that great storytelling, like the ocean, is timeless and profound.In revisiting "JAWS," we're reminded of the film's raw power and its monumental impact on cinema and culture. Here's to "JAWS"—a true behemoth of the film world that still reigns supreme in the hearts of movie lovers everywhere. May its legacy continue to inspire awe and wonder for generations to come.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

The first recorded shark attacks in history were part of a group of deadly strikes that occured in New Jersey in 1916. Four deaths occured in a matter of 12 days, and the fallout included panic and a new fear of sharks. The events terrified the community and later inspired Peter Benchley to write JAWS.  The shark attacks were not just deadly but very strange. Groups of shark attacks like these are not known to happen, and to this day no one knows for certain what type of shark was involved, if it was one shark or more, of even if all the attacks were from sharks. Today on "A Study of Strange" we discuss the real events, the victims, and how the attacks in New Jersey in 1916 lead to our modern fears of the apex predator of the seas.  Joining us is guest Amy Schloerb! www.amyschloerb.com Subscribe to "A Study of Strange" on your favorite podcast platform!

This week word came of the sad passing of multi-talented illustrator Roger Kastel, whose painting for the cover of the paperback edition of Peter Benchley's “Jaws” would go on to become the image for the movie poster—one of the most iconic images in film history. This summer WCS Wild Audio had a chance to sit down with Allison Maher Stern, the model for that painting. She discusses the process for developing that famous image, working with Kastel, and her growing involvement in the wildlife conservation field.Reporting: Nat MossGuest: Allison Maher Stern

With an extra week in August, Tread Perilously re-opens the Grab Bag for an extra verse in The Ballad of John D. Cort -- the Baywatch episode called "Shark Derby." The annual shark season is a little bit more robust than usual with sightings more common and local restaurateur Bucky sponsoring a shark derby. Contestants, which include John D. Cort, Eddie, Captain Thorpe, and Hobie, must bring in the largest shark possible. But Mitch, always wary of Bucky, doubts the increasing shark population is a coincidence. Did the entrepreneur figure out a way to invite more sharks to the coastal waters? And will it prove fatal for a member of Mitch's team? Justin busts out the shark facts right quick. Erik recalls the soon-to-be-closed fish restaurant Gladstones. Both marvel at the simplicity of Bucky's scheme. The 1980s hangover gets dissected. Captain Thorpe's descent into madness makes its way to Hobie. Peter Benchley's Jaws comes up often. David Hasselhoff's actual height becomes unavoidable. For the first time ever, original Baywatch character Jill matters. Hasselhoff's need to barge into scenes gets called out. Erika Eleniak's scream is reviewed. Craig's murder eyes make a special appearance and the Hoff gets compared to Tommy Wiseau in a very specific way. Also, the praise for John Allen Nelson continues.

The real question here is, in a world where we can be constantly entertained, informed and distracted, what are we losing/missing out on? And yes, I remembered after recording that Jaws was written by Peter Benchley.

Before it was a great movie, it was a un-great book. And this shark book would have been much better if it stuck to writing about sharks. Instead, it is about the “shark” of adult life: extramarital infidelity. It is also about the “shark” of the mafia world – the mafia. Plus, Kellen says there's no such thing as too much conflict, and Dave says there's no such thing as too much adultery.*TheBookPilePodcast@gmail.com*Kellen Erskine has appeared on Conan, Comedy Central, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC's America's Got Talent, and the Amazon Original Series Inside Jokes.

Just when you thought it was safe to download a podcast... The BTTM fellas are back to talk JAWS with film writer and podcaster Kristen Lopez (who discussed her book about 52 classic film adaptations BUT HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK? on a recent Skylit episode). Steven Spielberg's film has become an American classic, but what about Peter Benchley's original novel? It's got more sex, more mafia enforcers, and more small town economic hardship -- but is it better than the movie?   Produced by Justin Remer, Allan Traylor, and Mick Kowaleski Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band

It's officially summer and we're hitting the beach! Jaws, the 1975 thriller from Steven Speilberg, makes a big splash with its slow build horror, tense John Williams score and the utterly endearing Richard Dreyfuss. Tune in to hear Nick and Mel discuss the boozy captain, chumming around with friends and reading Peter Benchley. If you thought fishing was boring, think again! You're gonna' need a bigger boat.
