I was waiting for my turn.” “The shark isn't the villain. It's nature doing what it does. The villain is fear and denial.” “It's not about killing the shark. It's about what Brody's trying to kill inside himself.” Call to Action: Enjoying the show?

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Jaws, we're joined by Marty Milner to discuss his work on Steven Spielberg's legendary thriller. Marty takes us behind the scenes of one of cinema's most influential films, sharing insights into the production challenges, the infamous mechanical shark "Bruce," and the innovative filmmaking techniques that helped create a summer blockbuster phenomenon. We explore how the film's troubled production on Martha's Vineyard ultimately led to some of its greatest strengths, the collaborative process with Spielberg during his early career, and the lasting impact Jaws had on both the film industry and popular culture. We also touch on the film's legacy, its spawning of the summer blockbuster era, and what it was like being part of a movie that would become one of the most quoted and referenced films in cinema history.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Okay, Jaws turns 50 years old this very day - the film being released in the USA on June 20th 1975. Since this is a film very near and dear to us, we decided to mark this birthday by talking about the film once again. So, this is a One Perfect Scene episode, where Kieran, Paul and I talk about the unforgettable scene where young Alex Kintner is killed by the shark, towards the start of the film.
In this One Perfect Scene episode, Paul, Kieran and I continue to celebrate the 50th birthday of 'Jaws'- which came out exactly 50 years ago today - with a conversation on the final stretch of the Spielberg classic. So we're covering Quint's death (spoiler!) and the death of the shark (double spoiler!!)

We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws by looking back at Spielberg's genre-defining original and its progressively wilder sequels. A quartet of films that not only redefined summer horror but also played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary fears of the ocean, the Jaws franchise embraced genre hybridity, influenced public perception of sharks, and contributed to the rise of the summer blockbuster. But are there other reasons that explain the original film's enduring cultural relevance? We're diving in today with spoilers, so stay tuned!ReferencesCaputi, Jane E. "Jaws as Patriarchal Myth."

The boomers really want to hang on tight to their Spielberg memorabilia while signaling their undying support for Israel. There's just one problem - the majority under 30 years old see Israel for what it is, a criminal terrorist state. This final grift might be one grift too far, yids.

Sus películas forman parte de nuestras vidas y él ha sabido rentabilizarlas con éxito. A sus 78 años, el cineasta aún permanece en activo. Steven Spielberg ha sido el responsable de la educación cinematográfica de toda una generación, con permiso de su amigo y colega, George Lucas, el creador del universo 'Star Wars'. Películas como 'Tiburón', 'E.T', 'Parque Jurásico' y 'En busca del arca perdida' han trascendido a las pantallas para convertirse en auténticos iconos culturales. A sus 78 años, con 36 películas a sus espaldas (algunas de ellas entre las más taquilleras de la historia), Spielberg sigue en activo no sólo como cineasta sino también como empresario de éxito: cuenta con un patrimonio estimado de 5.300 millones de dólares y encabeza la lista Forbes de celebridades más ricas del mundo, por delante de Lucas, Michael Jordan y Oprah Winfrey. Los redactores del periódico Amaia Ormaetxea y Antonio Santamaría analizan su legado en 'Genios de las Finanzas', un pódcast realizado por Tamara Vázquez y dirigido por Amparo Polo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was asked to taste a wine and give an opinion of its quality. It was very good. A St. Emilion from a Chateau I did not know. The wine had never been in the US, and the wholesale company was new to the idea of even carrying a St. Emilion. My curiosity required me to ask the wholesaler, "Maybe the Chateau owner will come on the show?" "Let me check." "He would love it" So then I though I'd best look up the guest (this was one hour before his arrival). OMG..this Zaya Younan is a formidable businessman with over 1200 patents, 5 hotels, three golf courses, a fine cigar company, and now 2 Chateaux in France. I was humbled; for him taking the time to drive to my studio to be on the podcast, shows serious humility....but maybe I shouldn't be so surprised. This is often a trait of successful people: Do what it takes. Zaya Yonan's story is so cinematic, you'd think Spielberg had optioned it already—after all, how often do you meet someone who bought his ticket to America at age 13 by painting bicycles and hustled his way from Tehran's crowded streets to the boardrooms of General Motors, before helming a global luxury empire of vineyards, hotels, and world-class spirits? On this episode, you'll be invited deep into Zaya's personal odyssey, where survival, vision, and relentless drive transform childhood struggle into the highest echelons of success. You'll hear how a chance encounter with an American principal in Iran sparked the dream that shaped his life, how the hunger for opportunity forged discipline and resilience, and how an immigrant's appreciation for the nuances of culture, flavor, and ambition blossomed into a lifelong pursuit of excellence. Layer by layer, the conversation uncorks everything from engineering breakthroughs at GM—where Zaya's after-hours tinkering changed the game—to his uncompromising standards in wine, cognac, and vodka; you'll discover why he believes terroir and tradition trump short-cuts and quick profits every single time. Along the way, you'll learn why luxury, for Zaya, is less about showmanship and more about a soulful, intellectual connection—whether you're savoring a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru or admiring a watch. Listeners will leave with more than stories: you'll gain rare insights into what makes a wine “talk,” how French winemaking culture prioritizes complexity over convenience, and how food, heritage, and even adversity can fuel an entrepreneurial spirit. Most importantly, you'll reflect on how Zaya's tale of grit and gratitude reframes both the immigrant experience and the real reasons we chase—and cherish—luxury.

We're going off the beaten track for this one! This latest pick by JAC is quite a unique one in that it's a fan made film, Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. Technically shown for the first time in 1989 and an additional scene added in 2014, this is the movie that was the inspiration for the documentary, Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made.Checkout JAC's LetterBoxd review here: https://letterboxd.com/iamjacsmusings/And also JAC's podcast, Back to the Filmography, where he's currently going through every Matthew McConaughey movie.Interested listeners may watch the fan film itself, and see these moments as described at: theraiderskids.com/storeRaiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation was a homemade labor of love created by three Mississippi teenagers—Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala, and Jayson Lamb—who began the project in 1982 after being inspired by Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. With no formal filmmaking experience, a home video camera, and a copy of the film recorded from television, they set out to recreate every scene of the movie shot-for-shot. Over seven summers, they painstakingly built sets, created costumes, and performed their own stunts—sometimes dangerously so, including setting themselves on fire and nearly flooding a basement during a boat scene. Their dedication extended to using pets in place of monkeys, rigging homemade special effects, and convincing friends and family to play supporting roles.The project was completed in 1989 when the boys graduated high school, though one scene—the airplane explosion—remained unfilmed due to budget and technical limitations. For years, the film remained mostly unseen until a VHS copy reached filmmaker Eli Roth, who showed it at the Butt-Numb-A-Thon festival in 2002. The resulting buzz led to broader recognition, admiration from Hollywood figures like Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino. In 2014, the original trio reunited to finally film the missing airplane scene, completing their youthful vision more than 30 years later. Their story is now celebrated as a testament to creativity, passion, and the enduring magic of cinema.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackTrailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where most kids were content just watching their favorite movies, three Mississippi teens dared to remake one—shot-for-shot. Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation is the unbelievable true story of Chris, Eric, and Jayson, who, armed with a home video camera, pure determination, and a slightly unhinged sense of adventure, set out to recreate Spielberg's classic over seven summers. No budget, no stunt doubles, no clue—but what they lacked in resources, they made up for in heart. From fiery explosions in backyards to homemade boulders rolling through basements, their journey became the stuff of legend. This summer, witness the ultimate fan film that took over a decade to be discovered, and over 30 years to finish. They didn't just watch the adventure. They lived it.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

He trains them to shift perspectives and access their unused gears when they've hit inflection points.After documenting 4000 hours of holocaust testimonies at Spielberg's Shoah Foundation, Bryan experienced the soul-crushing grind at Disney, where "don't bother coming in Sunday if you weren't here Saturday" was the unspoken rule. That taught him how patterns that create success become chains that prevent growth.His journey through corporate burnout, two costly partnership dissolutions, and recovery from workaholism and alcoholism revealed that most high achievers operate in patterns that once served them but now trap them. He channeled these insights into building businesses including The Bovine Classic, "America's 4th-Hardest, Cow-Themed, Gravel Cycling Ride."His coaching methodology draws from competitive cycling (where "always be shifting" preserves energy), performance coaching principles, and recovery wisdom. This unique blend creates his "Shift your..." framework—a systematic approach to accessing unused potential.
20 tournages iconiques, 20 récits captivants. Les films nous racontent des histoires. Mais qui nous raconte celles des films ? Olivier Rajchman, brillant historien du cinéma, nous propose de découvrir vingt grands tournages parmi lesquels Blanche-Neige et les sept nains (1937), La Mort aux trousses (1959), Le Guépard (1963), Les Dents de la mer (1975) ou encore Barbie(2023). À partir de sources connues nouvellement analysées, et de sources inédites subtilement dévoilées, l'auteur nous livre le récit enlevé de vingt processus créatifs d'envergure racontant une histoire du cinéma à travers celle de films emblématiques. Saviez-vous que le scénario de Taxi Driver (1976) était inspiré de La Nausée, de Sartre ? Que Martin Scorsese, consacrant tout son être à son projet, ne voyait aucune de ses relations sentimentales perdurer ? Que Stanley Kubrick, sur le tournage de 2001, l'Odyssée de l'espace (1968), n'adressait pas la parole à la plupart de ses acteurs ? Que Claude Sautet, pour Les Choses de la vie (1970), a choisi Romy Schneider, avec laquelle il aura une brève liaison, après avoir aperçu sa silhouette sur le tournage de La Piscine (1969) ? Après Le Siècle des stars (Perrin, 2023), une galerie de portraits passionnants sur les icônes d'Hollywood, Olivier Rajchman nous fait vivre au plus près l'aventure des films, ces oeuvres qu'on accouche dans la douleur et dans la joie, malgré l'adversité, et grâce à la pugnacité de toute une équipe guidée par la vision d'un réalisateur ou d'une réalisatrice. Un livre où le bonheur de lecture va de pair avec la richesse de l'information.Son auteur, Olivier Rajchman, historien du cinéma est notre invité en studioDistribué par Audiomeans.

What if the very thing you think will make you happy is the thing that's quietly killing you? Peter Samuelson produced 27 Hollywood films, worked alongside Peter Sellers, Steve McQueen, and Steven Spielberg, and stood at the epicenter of power, fame, and money. But none of it—not the red carpets, not the billion-dollar budgets—brought him what he was really after. . That only came when he met a dying child with one last wish. That moment shattered his world—and rebuilt his purpose. . In this raw, no-BS episode, Peter Samuelson takes us behind the scenes of his evolution from “successful film producer” to serial pro-social entrepreneur. From co-founding the Starlight Children's Foundation with Spielberg to launching the world's first avatar-based social network for terminally ill teens, his journey is a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership. . And along the way? Practical jokes with Peter Sellers. Motocross requests from Steve McQueen. A $2.5M surprise donation from Spielberg. And the realization that happiness has nothing to do with success, and everything to do with what you're willing to sacrifice for others. .

Join Greg Alba & Tara Erickson as they take flight back to Isla Sorna in Joe Johnston's 2001 sci-fi adventure Jurassic Park III. When divorced couple Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders) accepts a mysterious aerial survey, they're lured into a rescue mission by Paul Kirby (William H. Macy, Fargo, Shameless) and his wife Amanda (Téa Leoni, Deep Impact, Madagascar), only to crash-land on the dino-infested island. Stranded without backup, they must survive against the cunning Spinosaurus—the film's signature apex predator—and evade deadly packs of Velociraptors. Along the way, they're joined by resourceful hunter Billy Brennan (Alessandro Nivola, Face/Off, American Hustle) and reunited with Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern, Jurassic Park, Big Little Lies), whose quick thinking saves the group from collapsing cliffs and the iconic raptor-in-the-aviary ambush. Don't miss the nail-biting river raft sequence where the Spinosaurus attacks from below, and the lore-expanding finale as Grant and Kirby use a decoy T. rex to outwit their monstrous pursuer. Greg & Tara break down every heart-pounding set-piece—from the aerial crate drop and raptor pen breakout to the jungle-clearing showdown—analyzing how Jurassic Park III balances nonstop thrills with nods to Spielberg's legacy.

On Episode #122 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, your three brave, emotionally bruised hosts; Bryan, Dan, and Preston; return to the scorched ruins of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the fifth installment in the dino-saga that now feels less like Spielberg's evolutionary miracle and more like a deeply confused fever dream penned during a sugar rush in a Lego aisle. Originally released in 2018 to a public still high off Jurassic World's billion-dollar dopamine hit, Fallen Kingdom asks: What if dinosaurs were auctioned to warlords like rare wines? What if a cloned child had an identity crisis and a raptor leapt through a fireball like it was auditioning for Die Hard 6: Cretaceous Drift? These are real questions posed by this film, which genuinely feels like a series of increasingly surreal dares from one studio exec to another. ("I bet you won't write in a genetically-engineered murder dino named Indoraptor who stalks a child like it's The Shining." “Watch me.”) The post Episode #122 – Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

If I could turn back time—exactly 36 years—it would be 1989!This episode was inspired by the 1989 monster hit by Cher. Yes, that Cher, who was 43 years old and leaving nothing to the imagination!As I've done in the past, we're going to dig into the music charts and major box office hits, along with a few newsworthy events from the last year of the '80s.The music charts featured a mix of hair metal ballads and classic rock bands enjoying a late-career resurgence, with alternative and pop also well represented. This was an era when New Kids on the Block, Chicago, Rick Astley, and Poison were all played back-to-back on the radio. Back then, radio was pretty great.The big movies boasted massive hits from directors like Spielberg, Burton, Donner, and Zemeckis. The stars were names like Ford, Keaton, Gibson, and Fox—big movies with big budgets. But non-action films also drew huge audiences, like Parenthood and Dead Poets Society. This was the era when Robin Williams was earning numerous Academy Award nominations.Plus, it's crazy to think that this was the year the Berlin Wall fell and the Tiananmen Square protests—and subsequent massacre—took place.Available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, and major streaming platforms.

“Goonies never say die!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, KevDog & Megs – with a surprise zipline call-in from Georgia – as we hunt for treasure, dodge booby traps, and argue over coastal real estate law in our 281st episode covering the beloved ‘80s adventure The Goonies (1985). We're trading poisoned apples for pirate maps and Baby Ruth bars as we discuss: Why Ian still can't remember androgynous character names—and what that means for Andy and the podcast's collective patience. We get into a surprisingly spirited debate over what foreclosure actually means (and how much Spielberg economics we're willing to accept). What's the real tragedy behind the film's stunning set design—and the moment it all went poof. Which young actor accidentally ruined an iconic shot… and whether Spielberg ever truly forgave him. We get honest about Chunk, fat shaming, and how watching it through a 2025 lens left some of us feeling a little queasy. We go over some podcast metrics, because if the Fratellis can chase gold, we can at least check our download stats. Who far outpunches his small role in the cast—and who far outkicked his coverage romantically (we're actually not looking at Brand). Kev's brought along some exotic treats (if you're English), and reactions range from delighted to deflated. Someone (take a guess) tries to do some serious heavy lifting to make the central treasure-hunting plot actually make sense. Ian gives what he thinks is a masterclass in narrative construction and points out where The Goonies missed a few easy wins (even with pirate ships involved).

In this episode- recorded back in the midst of the pandemic- Kieran and I discussed Robert Zemeckis' debut feature film, 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. This was a film we both enjoyed but certainly had issues with. So you can expect us to talk about the pros and cons of this film about a bunch of teens in 1964 going to New York to try and see The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. We also compare this to other films Zemeckis worked on from 1941 to the Back to the Future trilogy to Forest Gump and beyond! This episode originally aired on my sister show the SpielbergPod in early 2023.
Cultists, we hope you didn't think it'd be safe to go back in the water this summer. Because this year is the 50th anniversary of Jaws. This episode, we're putting the film that catapulted the career of Steven Spielberg and changed everything about how movies are marketed and released on the Exam Table.

Join Greg Alba & Tara Erickson as they return to Isla Sorna in Steven Spielberg's thrilling 1997 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park. When a massive T. rex is discovered roaming the Isla Nublar ruins, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough, Gandhi, Miracle on 34th Street) dispatches a team to document the surviving dinosaurs. Chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum, The Fly, Independence Day)—still haunted by the first park's disaster—leads the expedition alongside wildlife biologist Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore, Boogie Nights, Still Alice). Rounding out the group are wildlife photographer Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn, Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball) and paleontologist Dr. Richard Levine (Peter Stormare, Fargo, Prison Break), who clash over preserving versus exploiting the island's prehistoric inhabitants. Back in San Diego, Hammond's grandson Tim Murphy (Camilla Belle, 10,000 BC) and his friend Alicia “Kelly” Curtis (Vanessa Lee Chester, Soul Food) unwittingly become pawns in an illicit dino-smuggling scheme orchestrated by mercenary Roland Tembo (Pete Postlethwaite, Inception, Romeo + Juliet)—whose bounty on a live T. rex sets off a chain of high-stakes confrontations. Highlights include the jaw-dropping T. rex cliff rescue, the heart-stopping San Diego freeway rampage by rampaging brachiosaurs, and the tense jungle standoff with a pack of velociraptors. Don't miss our breakdown of every dinosaur roar, breathtaking set piece, and the emotional reunion between Malcolm and Hammond that underscores Spielberg's signature blend of awe and suspense.

Director Jonathan Entwistle (Karate Kid: Legends, The End of the F***ing World, I Am Not Okay With This) joins Vespe to talk about the incredibly divisive Spielberg film, Hook. Spielberg's Hook is a bonafide classic for a whole generation, but if you're not part of that younger Millennial generation it has the reputation of leaving you cold. The story is about a world where Peter Pan is real and he grew up to be Robin Williams. Peter marries Wendy's granddaughter and starts his own family, forgetting all about his Neverland adventures until he's forced back into fantasy when the very real Hook shows up and snatches his kids. Turns out there's a lot for two grown up nerds to dissect with this movie, not the least of which is why it feels like a couple of different films smashed together. We didn't know when we sat down to talk about this one that we'd get so introspective, but that's what even a complicated Spielberg flick can do. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever wondered what I've been hiding in this briefcase, buckle up, because today I finally (almost) reveal the ultra-secret, super-exclusive gadget that's been taking over Wan Pod Studios—though you'll have to hit subscribe and ring that bell if you want to be among the first mortals to see it in all its glory.We kick things off with a studio update: not only am I toying with an alien invasion down here in the Levi McCurdy hemisphere, but we're also launching a brand-new, music-and-amps podcast straight out of our guitar shop haven. If you're into pet oils, power chords, or pondering why guitars have volume knobs but no “volume demon”—this one's for you.Then it's on to crypto chaos: Bitcoin just blasted through $111,000—yes, you heard that right—and I'm praying to the crypto gods (hand motions included) that it holds. Meanwhile, XRP could double and solve half our national debt, so let's get those banks onboard! I even touch on the ever-lovely Hailey Welch and her constant need to convince us all that “snipers” lost money in that wild token scam—spoiler: regular folks got tanked too, Hailey.Wedding news: thanks to Bitcoin bull runs, we can finally afford to wrap up this wedding thing—Mexico, mid-July, beach vibes, open bar, please send tequila—and then I'll promptly bounce back for a $10,000 server bill. Because powering an empire isn't free, folks.Next, we roast the latest DoorDash + Klarna fiasco: financing your Crunchwrap like it's a mortgage? Eat now, cry later, America. Klarna's Q1 losses doubled to $150 million because apparently we'd rather pay $4 now and forget about it for three weeks than cough up $17—psychology 101. And if you want to short them, remember: the CEO just used an AI avatar to tell his board they could fire him and save millions. What are we doing?Shifting gears, we dive into the New Orleans jailbreak: ten dangerous felons, an inside job that involved turning off water and tagging “Too Easy →” on the wall (with a misspelled “two,” bless them). Half are back in cuffs, but three are still on the run—bet on Poly Market whether they'll be caught before GTA VI drops. Giddy up.Massive shout-out to Dude Robe for sponsoring today's episode—your gift-card stint at Home Depot ain't gonna cut it this Father's Day. Treat your pops to the ultimate hooded towel-hybrid: the Reversible Dude Hoodie, plus a matching robe (use code WOD for 20% off). Because Dad deserves more than socks.Finally, we blast through AI madness: Google IO's new Gemini tricks (live Meet translations, AI-powered try-ons so you can see yourself in that dress before you buy it), Video 3 and Google Flow that could have Spielberg calling for an agent, and OpenAI's $6.5 billion “IO” jab at Google, featuring Jony Ive's comeback to hardware design. If you're not experimenting with AI yet, congrats—you've already missed the boat.That's a wrap on 190—if you're still with me, hit like, subscribe, and ring that bell so you don't miss the big briefcase reveal, the new podcast launch, or my inevitable meltdown when I discover I've spent all my Bitcoin on dad-jokes. I've got to pick up my kid, DJ a wedding tomorrow, then sprint to Philly for a Post Malone weekend (Cheesecake Factory runs included).Happy Memorial Day, enjoy the holiday, and I'll catch you next Friday. Peace out—what are we doing?
