Show Notes Episode 498: “Is It Safe To Go Back In The Water?”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe got drunk and kicked out of the New York Aquarium for shouting “I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU” at the shark tank. (Again.) On the show this week we talk about the movie that changed how Americans went to the movies and how they went to the beach! We talk about Jaws on its 50th Anniversary!

Along the way Dave explains how childhood trauma made him the man he is today. (Drunk and afraid of sharks) Then we “dive” into why the Jersey Shore is a thing for people and sharks. From there we dig into the story of the movie (Not the plot we all know it) and how it shaped popular culture. From how movies were made and watched to how fear of sharks made people go out and kill sharks. (Rude!) We explain why a tasteless gluey soup killed more sharks than Roy Scheider could ever dream of. Finally we examine the movie’s role in gender dynamics and male friendships. (Trust us, it is funnier than it sounds!)

Our Sponsor this week is Sean the Friendly Shark, who wants you to know that SHARK stands for sharing happiness and radiating kindness! We open with the Jaws trailer and close with The Seaweeds and a romance gone wrong.
