JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE... Jaws Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Jaws 50th anniversary is upon Aaron & Tara are BACK on a Summery Horror Thursday to give their JAWS Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Jaws Reaction & Review! the legendary horror/thriller directed by a young Steven Spielberg (E.T., Jurassic Park) that changed cinema forever. Based on the novel by Peter Benchley, JAWS follows a small-town community gripped by fear when a monstrous great white shark begins terrorizing the beaches of Amity Island. Roy Scheider (The French Connection, Blue Thunder) stars as Police Chief Martin Brody, the everyman hero caught between local politics and public safety. He teams up with marine biologist Matt Hooper, played by Richard Dreyfuss (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Mr. Holland's Opus), and grizzled shark hunter Quint, portrayed by Robert Shaw (The Sting, From Russia with Love), for a harrowing showdown at sea. Lorraine Gary (JAWS 2, Car Wash) plays Brody's wife Ellen, adding a grounded emotional layer to the escalating terror. Iconic scenes include the shocking opening beach attack, the reveal of the shark's massive size (“You're gonna need a bigger boat”), and Quint's haunting USS Indianapolis monologue. John Williams' Oscar-winning score remains one of the most instantly recognizable in film history. A box office phenomenon and the original summer blockbuster, JAWS remains a masterclass in suspense, pacing, and primal fear.

What exactly are UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) and UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), and why are they here? In this compelling discussion, renowned scientist Dr. Jacques Vallée explores these mysteries while introducing his latest book, Forbidden Science 6: Scattered Castles. Dr. Vallée shares insights from his involvement with the groundbreaking National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) project, the comprehensive UFO database he helped develop for entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, and the character based on him in Steven Spielberg's iconic film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Additionally, he addresses speculation regarding his potential involvement in Spielberg's upcoming UFO-themed movie.Dr. Jacques Vallée is a distinguished computer scientist, astronomer, and author, internationally recognized for his pioneering research into UFOs, UAP, and related paranormal phenomena. With academic credentials that include an M.S. in astrophysics and a Ph.D. in computer science, Dr. Vallée has challenged traditional perspectives on UFO sightings through rigorous scientific analysis. He famously introduced the "interdimensional hypothesis," proposing that UFO phenomena might originate from parallel realities or alternate dimensions, rather than purely extraterrestrial sources. His influential works, such as Passport to Magonia and Dimensions, continue to significantly shape contemporary discussions, promoting a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach to unraveling these enduring mysteries.Segment Producer: Ali Travis The Good Trouble Show: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thegoodtroubleshow Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheGoodTroubleShow YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoodTroubleShow Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodTroubleShow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegoodtroubleshow/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodtroubleshow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Good-Trouble-Show-With-Matt-Ford-106009712211646 Threads: @TheGoodTroubleShow BlueSky: @TheGoodTroubleShowBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-trouble-show-with-matt-ford--5808897/support.

It's Popzara's Movie Time! Podcast, where our in-house movie nerds Ethan Brehm and Nate Evans take you on an unscripted journey yakking and chatting about some of their favorite movie moments and cinematic scenes, from past and present, presented without snark and snobbery for your listening pleasure. On deck are two blockbusters directed by Steven Spielberg that are as much science-fiction spectacle as they are family dramas, and whose success and innovative film-making would help reshape the movie industry forever. First is 1977's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Spielberg's follow-up to 1975's Jaws that proved the shark's success was no fluke. By not making the aliens malevolent but benevolent, it was a revelation at the box-office, bested only by George Lucas' Star Wars. Next is 1982's E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, the heartfelt story of an alien lost on Earth who befriends a young boy that quickly became the most successful movie in history (a title is kept for 11 years until it was dethroned by Spielberg's own Jurassic Park). Our hosts examine the relatable inspirations for both films, realizing their continued success owes as much to nostalgia as groundbreaking cinematic storytelling. Listen as they discuss the surprising connections between Spielberg's films and George Lucas' Star Wars (did you know E.T.'s species has an official name?), how E.T. inspired a hit Neil Diamond song, and speculate if Spielberg's 2022 autobiographical The Fablemans can be considered a thematic followup to both films.

What if the Torah provides its own commentary on its most pivotal moments? In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu continue uncovering a striking web of connections between Jacob's deception in Genesis 27 and the Revelation at Sinai in Exodus 19. As they explore these interwoven parallels, they reveal a profound shift in roles—Father becoming Son, Son becoming Father—and examine how God's choice to reveal Himself through cloud and sound echoes Jacob's own veiled encounter with Isaac.But these parallels aren't just literary—they hold deep theological stakes. If Jacob's disguise at the moment of blessing teaches us something about hidden identities, what does that mean for how we perceive God at Sinai? And by embracing our own limitations, could we, like Yitzchak, learn to truly listen?Check out the scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind that Rabbi Fohrman referenced in this episode: Watch here. For more on Rabbi Fohrman's reading of the deception story, see this essay from his book Genesis: A Parsha Companion.

We are Celebrating 5 years! We welcome the legendary Dr. Jacques Vallée, a pioneering computer scientist, astronomer, and one of the most respected figures in UAP research. In this 2-hour-plus conversation, hosts Michael Glawson, Katie Paige, and Jason Guillemette dive into Vallée's illustrious career, exploring his investigations into unexplained aerial phenomena and his unique perspectives on the mysteries that continue to captivate the world.Vallée, the inspiration behind the French scientist in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, reflects on iconic cases that have shaped his decades-long journey—from his early work mapping Mars for NASA to his development of the first computerized UAP databases for the secretive AAWSAP program. The discussion also spotlights his latest book, Forbidden Science VI: Scattered Castles, the sixth installment of his personal journals (published in 2025 by Anomalist Books), offering an intimate look at his thoughts on UAP events, AI's role in disclosure, and the evolving landscape of the field from 2010 to 2019.With warmth and curiosity, the hosts probe Vallée on cases they're eager to unpack, drawing out rare insights from a man who has spent over six decades bridging science and the unknown. Described by WIRED as a cautious yet visionary explorer of “the phenomenon,” Vallée's blend of rigorous analysis and open-minded inquiry shines through in this unmissable episode.

*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.In a recent interview, Dr Steven Greer once more made bold statements about UFOs that seemed to be anything but a fresh series of data points. He claimed the Trump administration is looking into stopping weather control and fixing energy issues, something UFO-tech could, if our imaginations are true, assist with to revolutionize the world. Dr Greer claims that the current coverup has left us in slavery and poverty… but not to worry because the UFO could bring us peace. He goes on to describe how Trump knows about wireless free energy, especially because of his uncle John G. Trump having handled many of the so-called Tesla papers. Greer also accused Elon Musk of lying about what corporations have in regard to the UFO. The overall theme of the interview was nothing more than the espousing of a religion. Dr Greer believes all the bad things are caused by humans and all the good things can be offered by the UFO. They will save us from pollution, economic insecurity, and even war. They will bring us the peace of a universal savior. These are all themes we also find linked to UFO abductions, which may have a strong connection to deep unconscious psychological fears. What is truly interesting is that all of these statements are reminiscent of other ideologies: The idea that the President has some secret knowledge that the public also somehow knows, but he can't disclose it for national security reasons, but he might if we are good, truly stinks of the Q-Anon cult. The idea that UFOs can save us from energy problems, pollution and weather related phenomena is just a more supernatural take on the climate change cult - humans are bad, etc., but either technocrats or aliens will be our saviors. But the idea that these craft have humanity's best interest in mind is based on shocking assumptions about dozens of different things: much of which is fallacy and our perception of time in regard to why they haven't just killed us already. If that wasn't enough, Dan Farah, the guy who produced Ready Player One, released a new documentary on UFOs at SXSW. This documentary explores the ideas of why UFO information cannot be revealed necessarily - because it would be unsafe to disclose what other countries could turn into weapons, something Dr Greer also claimed in the former interview. In other words, UFO disclosure would result in societal destruction. How interesting that this idea has been around since 1961 when NASA submitted “Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs” to the U.S. Congress. Otherwise known as the Brookings Report, the document states: “Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas and different life ways; others that survived such an experience usually did so by paying the price of changes in values and attitudes and behavior." This paragraph became part of the UFO-mythos with people still debating today if UFOs would destroy society by simply revealing their presence, something that would also happen if the Federal government revealed the same. This is all speculation, anecdotal, and subjective. Therefore much of this talk about disclosure is another version of the Epstein file release. There is something else lurking in the shadows. And if one were worried about the Carol Rosin statement - 'And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We're going to have to build space based weapons against aliens,' and all of it, he said, is a lie” - it should be known that there only need be a “threat,” not an alien invasion or project Bluebeam, which itself was only a theory proposed Serge Monast in the 1990s. And that THREAT was already identified; it has been with us the whole time. The UFO is inherently a threat. Recall the “Preliminary Assessment: UAP” report, released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in 2021: “UAP pose a hazard to safety of flight and could pose a broader danger if some instances represent sophisticated collection against U.S. military activities by a foreign government or demonstrate a breakthrough aerospace technology by a potential adversary.” This then brings us to the Club of Rome and its original report called “The First Global Revolution,” which discusses in 1991: “In searching for the new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely mistaking symptoms for cause. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changing attitudes and behaviors that they can be overcome.  The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” When Dan Farah was interviewed about his recent movie, he said “my interest in it really comes from growing up in the '80s and '90s and watching movies like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind countless times,” films we know were a result of, or partially a result of, a military-intelligence-government operation to flood pop culture with just such themes for a variety of experimental reasons - the Robertson Panel Report.The UFO-mythos has evolved steadily into a rebranded Great Reset, a promise of utopia and a new golden age. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Five curious tones. A mountain of mashed potatoes. Bob Balaban with a beard speaking french. After the industry-changing success of JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND feels like a classic “blank check.” But it's a little more nuanced than that! JD Amato returns for his 10th mainfeed appearance this week, and we're getting into all of the production drama, real nerdy practical effects shit (cloud boxing!), and the complicated feelings we have towards the behavior of the adults in this movie. Seems like young Stevie Spielberg has some divorce trauma he's working through! Has anyone ever made that observation before?
