Ep 44: Jaws

Published: July 9, 2021, 10:41 p.m.

No summer would be complete without the Radaptations sisters’ deep dive into JAWS, both the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley and its 1975 adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg. It’s the summer of boys on boats, and we’re chumming the waters with Roy Scheider’s fascinating face, Richard Dreyfuss’ chest hair, and Robert Shaw’s… whole deal. This episode is PACKED with trivia on the book and film, complete with a dramatic reading of a bitchy letter Peter Benchley sent to the filmmakers. Grab your sunscreen, floaties, and beach towel… this is a super-sized episode (just like Jaws’ jaws, which we're told are enormous). Stay tuned for an episode on spiritual successor to Jaws, DEEP BLUE SEA.
