Episode 285: The Shark That Ate Hollywood

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.
