Episode 9-Justice for Bruce: Jaws

Megan O'Laughlin, Jess Sprengle Season 1 Episode 9

The 1975 film Jaws reveals so much about trauma, bureaucratic incompetence, lack of parental supervision, and of course, the insides of a shark's stomach. Join Megan and Jess as they discuss the making of Jaws,  growing up with this classic story, and what an animatronic shark can teach us about fear.
