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.

Is the film as flawless as it’s made out to be? Are the sequels as awful as typically described? Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al discuss!

Follow us @law_writes, @sarahlynbruck, @MarkLinsenmayer. Al is on a boat in Antarctica and is not available for your social media following.

What is Pretty Much Pop?

Pretty Much Pop brings together philosophers, artists, comedians, and other smart folks to talk about media and how we consume it: TV, film, music, novels, games, comics, comedy, theater, podcasts, and more. Most of what (other) people like is pretty weird when you think about it, so thinking about it is what we do.
