Steven Spielberg's Jaws turns 50 this year. It's been called the perfect movie, the first blockbuster, and the film that changed why we go to the movies. As it returns to theaters, we head back into the water to revisit the classic creature feature with fresh eyes – lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureTo access bonus episodes and sponsor-free listening for Pop Culture Happy Hour, subscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour+ at plus.npr.org/happy.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Embark on a journey to Martha's Vineyard, the real-life “Amity Island,” for the 50th anniversary celebration of the blockbuster film “Jaws.” Through conversations with longtime fans, collectors, and cast members, we discover how Steven Spielberg's monster movie became a cultural phenomenon that continues to inspire devotion and nostalgia across generations. In the first episode of a three-part series, we explore why “Jaws” still sinks its teeth into audiences half a century later.

I didn't want the summer to end without joining in on the 50th anniversary celebrations of Jaws. I spent summers on Cape Cod as a kid, where I often heard that Jaws was filmed nearby on Martha's Vineyard. In fact, I recently went back and visited an exhibit on the 50th anniversary of Jaws at the Martha Vineyard Museum. So this week, I'm playing one of my favorite reflections on the 50th anniversary of Jaws -- an episode from the podcast Cautionary Tales. The host Tim Harford dives deep into the famously chaotic filming of Jaws, and he explores whether we can learn any lessons from the ordeal that young Steven Spielberg went through.

Macon Blair (The Toxic Avenger, I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore) joins Vespe to talk about one of the most impactful films of Steven Spielberg's career, Twilight Zone: The Movie. They dip into the tragedy, of course, but there's more to this anthology than the controversy. This film brings together some of the best filmmakers of the era in John Landis, Joe Dante, Spielberg, and George Miller and they're all given room to go as bonkers as they want to as storytellers. While not totally successful, it remains a highly entertaining film and a juicy conversation starter for movie nerds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are the movies of 1993 a trip down nostalgia lane or just plain overrated?

In today's episode, "GFWI Movie Club: Jaws," the crew gets into everything JAWS! This classic movie celebrated its 50th anniversary this summer so there was no way we were missing this one. Join us as we point out the strengths and weaknesses of this movie. We highly suggest re-watching before the episode since it makes the observations that much more salient. Learn about the history, the making and the symbolism behind one of Steven Spielberg's most famous movies, and the movie that launched a future with summer blockbuster films.This podcast is brought to you by the bull shark, the likely actual culprit for shark attacks and who probably should have been the star of this movie. The bull shark is named for its stocky shape, broad snout and aggressive behavior. It may come as no surprise to you that they do not possess horns. The Bull shark is also incredibly tolerant to freshwater and they can travel far up rivers. They can be seen kayaking up rivers during the summer. Just kidding. But don't be surprised if you spot one there and do not approach them. Cheers to you, bull shark!Thanks for listening to Gettin' Fishy With It!

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.

Aaron Sagers is not only a pop culture journalist, he's also a well-known paranormal investigator. He's the founder of ParanormalPopCulture.com and you've seen him on-camera for Travel Channel's Paranormal Paparazzi and Paranormal Caught on Camera, and Netflix's 28 Days Haunted. In short, he knows a lot about movies and the spiritual world, so he was the natural choice to come in and talk about Poltergeist, written and produced by Steven Spielberg. We focus on the portrayal of the paranormal in Poltergeist, see what cases it might have borrowed from, what famous paranormal investigators it very well might have taken influence from, and try to figure out exactly what the hell The Beast is in the context of that first movie.

"Summer Surprise" continues with...what's this? Another witch movie?? That's right, but this one has a hell of a pedigree. A family dark-fantasy romp from Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, and directed by...Eli Roth?? Huh. So how did the infamous filmmaker behind such extreme horror hits as Cabin Fever, Hostel, and Thanksgiving handle the opportunity to helm a more family-friendly adventure story based on the first book in a popular series of children's novels? Was this still an effective match for his twisted sensibilities, or a defective marriage of contrasting styles? Can Jack Black's unique charisma keep this clock ticking? How does it compare to the Goosebumps films of the same era, also starring Black? Is there such a thing as too many poop jokes? We discuss all this, and more!

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?

Episode 137 of The Film ‘89 Podcast marks the first time that the guys revisit a film that's already been covered on a previous episode. 5 years ago on Episode 52, Neil and Skye recorded an audio commentary for the 45th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece, Jaws. That episode remains one of Film ‘89's most downloaded episodes and one that regularly gets mentioned by listeners as one of their favourites. The commentary focussed mainly on the making of Jaws along with Skye and Neil's analysis of the film, but this episode is going to be a companion piece to the that first episode focussing more on a celebration of Jaws' legacy as it turns 50 and its impact upon the guys (now joined by Steve), and what they feel makes it a genuine contender for the title of greatest film ever made. But it won't just be Steve, Skye and Neil talking as this episode features many of the regular Film ‘89 co-hosts, guests, friends from Film Twitter and more, so input from more people than any other episode of Film ‘89 so far, all experts on film, chiming in with their testimonies as to why they feel Jaws is one of the greatest motion pictures ever made. 

It's hard to believe this summer marks the 50th anniversary of Jaws—the film that launched the summer blockbuster, introduced a then-unknown Steven Spielberg, and forever changed the way we look at the ocean… and for some of us, even swimming pools!Beyond the suspense, the unforgettable score, and one of the best movie lines of all time—“You're gonna need a bigger boat”—Jaws had some unintended side effects. It fueled a global fear of sharks, spiked shark tournaments, and contributed to decades of overfishing.Today, I'm so excited to welcome someone who's been there since the beginning—Wendy Benchley, widow of Jaws author Peter Benchley. From the writing of the book to the movie's smashing box-office success, Wendy had a front-row seat. She has since dedicated her life to shark advocacy and ocean conservation.Wendy is a world-renowned environmentalist, co-founder of the Peter Benchey Ocean Awards, board member of WildAid, and a Co-Executive Producer of Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story – a brand-new documentary diving into the film's legacy.Wendy and I talk about the powerful legacy of Jaws - not only as a film - but more importantly as a vehicle that has shown light on sharks and why they are such a critical part of our ocean's ecosystem - one that must be advocated for and protected. Thanks in large part to her work, shark fin soup consumption in China is down an estimated 70–80%. The United Nations is now considering a resolution to protect marine life from overfishing on the high seas.Wendy is brilliant, passionate, and a true force for change. Whether you're a Jaws fan or simply care about the future of our oceans, this is a conversation—and a documentary—you won't want to miss.And if you haven't already, be sure to follow us on Instagram @TheInterviewWithLeslie

The first blockbuster movie started with a blockbuster book about a fish busting up blocks in a small seaside town. Anyone familiar with Steven Spielberg's movie will recognize the basic plot of Benchley's original novel Jaws -- there's just a lot more chum in the water.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Madeline Brumby and Shane Morton join Jim for a 50th Anniversary celebration of the very first Summer Blockbuster film - Steven Spielberg's "JAWS," Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton and a host of residents from Martha's Vineyard. Based on the novel by Peter Benchley, the story centers around a Cape Cod island town beseiged by a rogue Great White Shark. The film had an enormous impact on movie goers.

Today on What's My Frame I'm joined by Casting Director, Betsy Ware Fippinger. Betsy has trained under some of the best Casting Directors in New York, including Meredith Tucker and Ellen Lewis. As a Casting Associate and Assistant she worked on projects directed by Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Bo Burnham, Greg Mottola, and Lynn Shelton. Betsy won an Artios Award for her work as the Casting Associate on the pilot episode of ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'.

Before entering casting, Betsy worked at HBO and The William Morris Agency, and taught at Indiana University. She graduated with a BA in Film from Wesleyan University in 2003. Betsy's openness and heart for actors is evident in this conversation. We chat about creative process and a few of her recent projects.

In the late 1970s, a quiet suburban home in Enfield, London, belonging to the Hodgson family got a new roommate—a poltergeist. The entity seemed to latch on to their 11-year-old daughter, Janet, who experienced levitation, violent attacks, and had strange voices speak through her. The case was heavily investigated by paranormal researchers who agree an evil spirit was present, but some think there's another explanation regarding Janet's supernatural abilities. For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/haunted-enfield-poltergeistSo Supernatural is an audiochuck and Crime House production.
