JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO LISTEN TO MONSTER PARTY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD revel in the legacy of a shark named “Bruce.” Get a bucket of chum, and find yourself a bigger boat, as MONSTER PARTY presents… JAWS: 50 YEARS OF FRIGHTS AND BITES!!! In 1975, STEVEN SPIELBERG unleashed a breathtaking thriller that would go on to be one of the highest-grossing motion pictures of all time, ushering in the era of the “blockbuster.” Based on the best-selling book by PETER BENCHLEY, JAWS' journey from novel to screen was a difficult one. Faced with a malfunctioning shark, precarious ocean conditions, bickering actors, and skyrocketing production costs, Spielberg would rise above these obstacles, turning adversity into ingenuity. And let's not forget the contribution of JOHN WILLIAMS' legendary score. To this day, can anyone resist humming “Dun Dun Dun Dun” when they hit the pool? After JAWS' initial worldwide success, the film was followed up by several lackluster sequels and copycats. But no matter how hard (or how little) other filmmakers tried, no one was able to capture the magic that made JAWS be considered by many to be one of the few perfect films. And who would have thought that 50 years later, the film they almost pulled the plug on would be the pop culture icon that it is today? Joining us for this monumental maw fest is an accomplished actor, author, journalist, and publicist who is a beloved staple of the monster kid community. He has appeared in such diverse movies and TV shows as IN THE SHADOWS, THE PREY: KARNOCTUS, LAVALANTULA, CHASTITY BITES, BLOOD AND GUTS WITH SCOTT IAN, TIM AND ERIC AWESOME SHOW, GREAT JOB, THE FLINTSTONES, BEETHOVEN'S 2ND, and STAR TREK: VOYAGER. He's been a long-time contributor for FANGORIA, STARLOG, FILM REVIEW, and DREAD CENTRAL, and is the author of the books THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO COMPANION, BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY: A TV COMPANION, YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY: A HULK COMPANION, and the must-have tome for any respectable JAWS fan, JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE: A JAWS COMPANION. Please welcome… PAT JANKIEWICZ! MONSTER PARTY SALUTES THE PHENOMENON OF JAWS! AND THIS TIME… IT'S PERSONAL.
From Hitler's car in Orange County to an Oceans 11-style heist at Aladdin's Oasis , this episode's got it all—Disney history, legendary Jungle Cruise pranks, and a few rants about live-action remakes & neon snakes in Indiana Jones. Plus, the weird cast member habits we just can't shake.Laughs, chaos, and a little backstage mischief all in a days work in, The Jungle
We got a great one today, someone I've wanted to have on the show since year 1. Jim Mickle is in the house. Jim is a director and writer, known for his bold genre-blending style. After graduating from NYU's film program he made his directorial debut with the micro‑budget horror Mulberry Street (2006), followed by the vampire western Stake Land (2010). In 2013, he released his unsettling family cannibal remake (that legit gave me nightmares) We Are What We Are. Jim then ventured into noir-thriller territory with Cold in July (2014), starring Michael C. Hall and Don Johnson before transitioning to television by co-developing and directing SundanceTV's Hap and Leonard (2016–2018). He then created, produced, and directed the Netflix fantasy series Sweet Tooth (2021–).Jim has built a career on doing things his own way — often by learning things the hard way, but always with heart, vision, and grit.In this episode, Jim dives deep into the evolution of his career — from his early days making guerrilla style films to becoming a Netflix show runner. He discusses how he learned to navigate the TV industry, the painful transition from indie DIY to studio systems, and how the business has transformed for filmmakers over the last 20 years. He also gets into his longstanding mentorship with Larry Fessenden and much more on this very special episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show.Key TakeawaysSet the Date — Make a Movie.Human psychology is complicated, but sometimes it's very simple. Just the act of picking a shoot date can mean everything. The moment you schedule a day to film something, your mind orients toward a tangible goal and the idea of filmmaking stops being a vague “someday” idea and becomes real, scheduled, and tangible. In 2005, Jim and his longtime collaborator set a hard deadline by which they'd start shooting something—even if it was just the two of them filming in a kitchen. That commitment led to Mulberry Street, a gritty, ultra-DIY feature shot in their own neighborhood with friends and minimal gear. It may not have been perfect—but it was finished. And it launched Jim. Sometimes, all you need to launch a career is a simple commitment in your Google Calendar.Find Your Fessenden.Larry Fessenden—who's been on this show in one of my all-time favorite episodes—is a prolific creator and mentor. Jim credits him as a key figure in his career and someone he reached out to early on for advice. That connection evolved into a long-standing creative partnership: Larry went on to produce several of Jim's films and helped him navigate both the craft of filmmaking and the maze of Hollywood. More than just a collaborator, Larry became a guiding presence—part mentor, part indie godfather—who shaped Jim's growth as a filmmaker. Every filmmaker stands to benefit from a relationship like that. So reach out to that filmmaker you really admire because you never know what may happen.Slow and Steady Wins the Race.After four indie features, Jim transitioned to television gradually — starting with Hap and Leonard (which nearly crushed him) before eventually helming Netflix's Sweet Tooth. That slow progression helped him adapt to larger crews, higher stakes, and network politics without losing his creative voice or burning out. Each project taught him how to scale. Jim warns against trying to move too fast.In the Nat Geo documentary Jaws at 50, Spielberg talks openly about the PTSD he experienced from making Jaws. For years afterward, he'd visit the Universal lot and climb into the actual Orca boat and cry—literally to cry out the trauma he'd been carrying from the experience. He even had nightmares for half a decade. And while the grueling experience of making Jaws turned him into Spielberg, that...

Send us a textWhen 17 children from the same third-grade classroom vanish into the night, a small suburban town becomes the epicenter of a nightmare that defies explanation. "Weapons," Zach Crager's sophomore directorial effort following his breakout hit "Barbarian," delivers a masterclass in atmospheric horror that will leave you checking the locks on your doors.The film's brilliance lies in its unconventional structure, following multiple characters whose lives have been upended by the mass disappearance. We begin with Julia Garner's haunting portrayal of the children's teacher, quickly becoming the town's primary suspect as suspicion and paranoia mount. Just as we settle into her perspective, the narrative shifts to Josh Brolin's grief-stricken contractor, whose son was among the missing. Brolin delivers one of his most compelling performances in years, particularly during nightmarish sequences that blend reality and the supernatural with disturbing fluidity.What sets "Weapons" apart from standard horror fare is how it balances genuine terror with moments of unexpected humor. Crager demonstrates remarkable control over tone, crafting scenes that can transform from laugh-out-loud funny to skin-crawling terror within seconds. The cinematography enhances this unsettling quality, with the camera constantly in motion, creating a voyeuristic feeling that makes viewers complicit in the unfolding horror.The film lovingly channels influences from horror masters – Spielberg's suburban wonderment turned sinister, Carpenter's patient tension-building, Lynch's dream logic – while establishing Crager's unique voice. The soundtrack, featuring both perfectly chosen needle drops and original compositions, elevates each scene whether building dread or amplifying emotional moments.As the mystery deepens and the film ventures into more overtly supernatural territory, "Weapons" asks us to consider what truly lurks behind the façade of suburban normalcy. While some viewers may debate the effectiveness of its third act, the journey is undeniably gripping from start to finish. Don't miss this theatrical experience that reminds us why watching horror with an audience remains one of cinema's most primal pleasures.Support the show

Die neue Episode meines Podcasts ist online! Diesmal geht es um fünf spannende Filme, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten: Vom düsteren Mystery-Horror über gesellschaftskritische Endzeitvisionen bis zur kultigen Komödie und einem Klassiker des Tierhorrors. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf einen intensiven Tatort-Krimi. Besprochen werden: Weapons – Die Stunde des Verschwindens Regie: Zach Cregger Darsteller: Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich Ein düsterer Mystery-Horrorfilm über das rätselhafte Verschwinden von 17 Schulkindern in einer Kleinstadt. In sechs Kapiteln entfaltet sich ein komplexes Puzzle aus Schuld, Trauma und übernatürlichen Kräften. Cregger inszeniert mit psychologischem Tiefgang und einer Prise Stephen-King-Vibes. 28 Years Later Regie: Danny Boyle Darsteller: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes Die Fortsetzung der legendären Rage-Virus-Reihe zeigt eine postapokalyptische Welt, in der Überlebende auf einer Insel Zuflucht suchen. Als neue Mutationen auftauchen, beginnt ein Kampf ums Überleben – mit emotionaler Tiefe und gesellschaftskritischem Unterton. Die nackte Kanone (2025) Regie: Akiva Schaffer Darsteller: Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser Die Kultkomödie ist zurück – diesmal mit Liam Neeson als Frank Drebin Jr. Der Film setzt auf klassischen Slapstick, moderne Pointen und eine liebevolle Hommage an die Originalreihe. Ein witziger Neustart mit prominenter Besetzung. Der weiße Hai (Best of Cinema) Regie: Steven Spielberg Darsteller: Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw Der Klassiker von 1975 kehrt zurück auf die große Leinwand.

“It's worse than you think.” – c'est la tagline officielle… et pour une fois, Hollywood ne ment pas.War of the Worlds (2025), version Ice Cube, n'est pas seulement une catastrophe : c'est probablement le pire film de science-fiction de l'année. Oui je parle bien de War of the Worlds Dans cet épisode du podcast horreur français Dans l'Ombre des Légendes, Chandleyr démonte scène par scène cette parodie involontaire de chef-d'œuvre. On parle ici d'un remake low-cost du classique de H.G. Wells, qui fait passer Spielberg pour un dieu du 7e art et ce film pour un devoir scolaire bâclé. War of the Worlds avec Ice Cube est une abomination.
Purported the first summer blockbuster, Jaws has now hit 50 years, and so we discuss this wonderful early Spielberg film, its ill-conceived sequels, some of the making-of docs, and the legacy of shark/big carnivore films that it spawned.

We are kicking off a brand new miniseries on Oscar-winning Best Director follow-up films from the 2000s, starting with Steven Spielberg's bold and deeply divisive “A.I. Artificial Intelligence.” TV critic and Vulture writer Roxana Hadadi joins Phil and Emily for a wide-ranging conversation that digs into the movie's legacy, Kubrick's influence, and how the film hit differently post-Oscars and post-9/11.They dive into the unique collaboration and friendship between Kubrick and Spielberg, how “A.I.” bridges fairy tale and sci-fi, and what it means for love, grief, and humanity to be filtered through the eyes of a robot boy. The group explores how the film's themes of artificial intelligence, the uncanny valley, and the pursuit of parental love feel even more relevant today in a world grappling with AI and rapid technological change.Other topics include Haley Joel Osment's incredible performance, Jude Law's scene-stealing Gigolo Joe, the eerie brilliance of Teddy, and why this film has remained both underappreciated and deeply beloved by fans. They also talk about the Oscars' resistance to science fiction, the film's release in a world still haunted by 9/11, and the surprising emotional impact the film has had on different audiences, including its resonance with the trans community.It is a deep dive into one of Spielberg's most complex and haunting films, a movie that still raises questions about love, loss, technology, and what it means to be human.Follow Roxana Hadadi on Instagram: @roxana.z.hadadiWant even more?

Before I name the movie we'll be xploring in this episode, let me make it xplicitly clear that I can spell, OK? I don't feel I should have to xplain myself, but I have the most xtreme respect for my listeners. This movie, however, may test the limits of your own self-respect if, like me, you actually think it's great! It's Xtro! Yes, that's the correct spelling. Can we move on? It's sort of about extra-terrestrials (not the cute, abbreviated, Spielberg kid-friendly type), and a father who gets abducted by some sort of aliens that arrive in a big bright triangle. They're either come from outer space or a geometry class, it's never quite xplained. Not very much makes sense in this film, but it's a wild ride with gore, sex, rubber alien rapists, homicidal giant toys, heavy British accents, snakes, panthers, slimy eggs, inappropriate hickeys...am I forgetting anything here, let me think...ah, y'know what? Don't think! Just watch the movie, hear the podcast, and you'll have a most xtro-ordinary xperience!

Pirates and Fratellis and bats, oh my! Wheelers and Mombi and electroshock therapy, oh my! It's the 100th episode of Release Date Rewind, and what a way to celebrate with an adventurous summer 1985 double feature of The Goonies and Return to Oz. Mark welcomes '80s girl Solana Sorrento back on the pod to go on a bike ride (The Goonies walked so Stranger Things could run!) and try on a few pretty heads (Disney's Oz is intense!). Before we had TikTok, there was Tik-Tok! Also, find out how The Goonies is connected to Burlesque and where the abandoned Land of Oz amusement park is.
It's the Summer of '75 and the Eagles' ‘One of These Nights' is at the top of the charts while the nation is gripped by a movie about a shark directed by a soon-to-be famous director by the name of Spielberg. Despite Jaws keeping the 2-legged creatures out of the ocean the beaches of Southern California are packed with people looking to enjoy some fun in the sun. That means plenty of beer, young folks wearing as little clothing as possible and plenty of games… Volleyball, badminton and kicking the soccer ball around are staples of the beach scene, but in San Diego, no place combines the trio of sand, suds and scantily clad women as well as the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club which will put on the annual Over the Line tournament once again. Starting in 1953, the OTL has been going on strong for 22 years and Sports Illustrated's Curry Kirkpatrick got wind of the tourney and set out to see what it was all about. What he found were plenty of teams that took the tournament very seriously… and an equal number of teams that did not. Over the Line is a softball game that involves 3-player teams and no running, no bases… The object is to hit the ball on the fly over a line about 20 yards in front of the batter and not have one of the the three fielders catch the ball on the fly… three outs per inning, 5 innings in a game… and no throwing beer cans or disrobing completely on the field. The tournament had gotten so big, and so out of hand, that it could no longer be played on the beach… what started as an 8-team tournament over a weekend turned into 594 teams playing almost 600 games on 18 courts over two weekends of play… the one thing that didn't change? The drinking and the shenanigans that ensued that the veteran SI scribe Kirkpatrick writes about gleefully. One of the directors of the tournament took umbrage with the portrayal of the tournament saying, “"I get the impression you're looking for wild stuff. We're not a bunch of buffoons conducting an orgy. This is an athletic event.” Shortly thereafter the man was seen attempting to climb through a dog door. It was a summer of horror in the water thanks to Spielberg, but a ton of fun in the sun on the beach back in '75 thanks to a bunch of beachgoers who knew how to have a good time and Curry Kirkpatrick relives his time covering the OTL tournament from 50 years ago that continues to this day… on the Past Our Prime podcast.

Enjoy the Video Version: https://bit.ly/4flfWrN This episode marries the previously released teaser with our in-depth conversation between Anuradha, myself, and frequent guest, professional composer/movie critic, JOHN HOEKSTRA. 56 minutes of informative and hilarious entertainment. (AMAZING video version will be posted soon.) Today, we think of the movie “Jaws” as a blockbuster game-changer in movie history. But back in 1973-1975, it appeared to be the biggest financial disaster in cinema history to producing company Universal Studios and many Hollywood insiders. Directed by a talented, but inexperienced and unknown filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, it appeared to be a runaway train leading the studio to eventual bankruptcy. The initial shooting schedule swelled from 55 days to 159 days. And the budget soared from $3.5 million to $12 million. Almost everything went wrong. Spielberg, an age 24 TV director, had no idea what he was doing on a project of this massive scale. They started with no useable script and they spent $1.5 million on a mechanical shark that mostly didn't work while shooting. Also, there was drug and alcohol addiction among the major actors. How could the production of this movie possibly be worse? (Universal executives picked a very bad year to stop sniffing glue*.) And yes, it eventually became the most successful film of all time to that date – BUT HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN? We tell you the REAL story behind the scenes.

Four score and seven years ago (or thereabouts), our Papa Spielberg brought forth on this filmography a new biopic, conceived in collaboration with Tony Kushner, and dedicated to the proposition that Daniel Day-Lewis was the best man to embody Honest Abe in his pledge to ratify the idea that ‘all men are created equal'. Now we are engaged in a discussion of the result, 2012's LINCOLN, testing whether that biopic, or any biopic so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that discussion with friend and fellow Warwick film grad James Warren, to explore this work within the pantheon of ‘great films', the degree of ambivalence with which it views the democratic process and the astonishing array of character actors with great faces. It is here that we highly resolve that this film was not made in vain, and that filmmaking by the Spielberg, with his collaborators, for the Ramblin listeners, shall not perish from our memory.Follow the podcast on Twitter (@RamblinAmblin), Instagram (@ramblinamblinpod) and Blusky (@ramblinamblin.bsky.social).

SWAMP regular Erin, cousin of Dara, joins us to end Spielberg month with a Last Crusade. Tumblr Post MentionedHenry's Letterboxd I shouted out a chocolate chip cookie recipe in this episode that I now realize is behind a paywall (boo) so I am pasting it below:IngredientsYield: 10 cookies2cups/256 grams all-purpose flour½teaspoon baking soda¾teaspoon salt½pound/227 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), room temperature1½cups/302 grams granulated sugar¼cup/55 grams packed light or dark brown sugar1egg1½teaspoons pure vanilla extract6ounces/170 grams bittersweet chocolate (about 60 percent cacao solids), chopped into coarse pieces, bits and shardsPreparationStep 1Adjust an oven rack to the middle position. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil, parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.Step 2In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt.Step 3In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter on medium until creamy. Add the granulated and brown sugars and beat on medium until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and 2 tablespoons water, and mix on low to combine. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low until combined. Add the chocolate and mix on low into the batter. (At this point, the dough can be refrigerated for several hours or overnight.)Step 4Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Form the dough into 3½-ounce (100-gram) balls (a heaping ⅓ cup each). Place 4 balls an equal distance apart on a prepared pan, and transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes before baking. After you put the first baking sheet in the oven, put the second one in the freezer.Step 5Place the chilled baking sheet in the oven and bake 10 minutes, until the cookies are puffed slightly in the center. Lift the baking sheet and let it drop down against the oven rack, so the edges of the cookies set and the inside falls back down. (This will feel wrong, but trust me.) Bang it down, if necessary, to make the center fall.Step 6After the cookies puff up again, 2 to 3 minutes later, repeat lifting and dropping the pan, every 3 minutes, to create ridges around the edge of the cookie. Bake 16 to 18 minutes total, until the cookies have spread out, and the edges are golden brown, but the centers are much lighter and not fully cooked.Step 7Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack; let cool before removing the cookies from the pan.Step 8Repeat with remaining cookies, using the first sheet pan for the third batch of cookies.Send us a textSWAMP stuff:PatreonSocials:TikTok: @theswamppodcastInstagram: @theswamppodBluesky: @theswamppodcast.bsky.socialYouTubeDara's Letterboxd Emily's Letterboxd Our website: https://www.the-swamp-podcast.com/Email: theswamppod@gmail.com

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay decide to go to shore and get a bigger podcast, as they discuss one of the greatest films ever made, 'Jaws.' Bombay starts off the episode by relating how difficult it can be fitting in when you're new to a small town like Amity, and how it almost led to him getting arrested as a youth. Then the fellas cast off to talk about the movie. First by pouring one out for the opening girl who gets got by Jaws, Chrissy and her wonderful sweater puppies. Then there's discussion about why Alex Kintner, who was played by an actor with the last name Vorhees, maybe deserved to die. Plus, the guys talk about the three main leads who helped elevate this simple tale, and how Robert Shaw was a real life heavy drinker who didn't care for the cut of Richard Dreyfuss' jib. Add all that with the true arrival of John Williams, and the brilliance of a young Spielberg who was forced to improvise, and you have the birth of the summer blockbuster.
Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes and Alex @devilsadvocateproductions talk about Steven Spielberg's Jaws!! It's the 50th Anniversary of Jaws which was finally released after multiple delays in June 1975. Becoming the first movie to ever be delayed at Universal Pictures 100 extra days in production and cost $5 million extra dollars. Spielberg believed his career was over when he was through filming. Jaws was the first major motion picture actually filmed in the ocean rather than a freshwater lake or a studio tank. And, with a massive merchandising push from Universal and advertising push, it became the first Summer Blockbuster starting a tradition that still happens today!!

Minute 3 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Using details provided by The Book of Quint and the visuals in the third minute to lock in a definitive date and time as the first calendar day in the Jaws timeline. Chrissie continues to prove she was not just another summer girl, while director Spielberg channels his inner Hemingway and the Iceberg Theory to add a larger story beneath the surface of what we are seeing. For the 50th anniversary of the film, we are watching Jaws again for the first time utilizing the prequel novel The Book of Quint. There is something else going on in Jaws, we just need to look at the details. Minute 3 Recap: - Chrissie isn't worried about coming back - Wide map of Amity Island from the Book of Quint gives us some scale - Temperature of the water off Amity - Sunrise off Amity leads to a specific time we are watching - Jaws Timeline Calendar and the significance of Friday June 27, 1974 - Spielberg's use of direction between Chrissie and Cassidy - Hemingway's Iceberg Theory - Spielberg's Iceberg Theory for film is key to Jaws.

Visionary director Joseph Kahn (DETENTION, BODIED, TORQUE) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope studio to discuss his incredible career journey and the making of his new film ICK (in theaters now). From learning how to speak the language of cinema in the 80's thanks to Spielberg films and MTV… to how a fake company name and a briefcase led to him becoming one of the greatest music video directors in history working with artists like TAYLOR SWIFT, KORN, MUSE, BRITNEY SPEARS, PUBLIC ENEMY, ROB ZOMBIE, and more… to the trials of making his first feature TORQUE and his creative redemption with DETENTION and BODIED… to how he's broken down filmmaking into “science” and “language” and his theory of “5th Dimensional edits”… to the making of his new movie ICK and why it's all still “a struggle”, whether its a Taylor Swift video or his latest feature film… this amazing, no f's given conversation with one of the signature visual voices in pop-culture has been a long time coming!
