Episode 27: Jaws (1975)

What this episode covers

HAPPY SHARK WEEK! We’re celebrating by covering the iconic blockbuster, JAWS (1975). Moth went down a whole rabbit hole (shark hole?) and had a ton of fun researching this film, the author of the book that inspired the movie, some of the real life incidents that inspired him, and MUCH more. Jaws (1975) has an absolutely wild history full of ground-breaking innovation for the film industry, and it is well deserving of all the accolades it’s received over the years. We spent some time discussing shark and ocean conservation, as well, which are among Moth’s favorite things. Was Jaws responsible for the negative light cast on sharks in recent history? Are sharks REALLY that important for the ecosystem? And did Steven Spielberg almost get another renowned figure in film killed because of a prank on set? We answer all these questions and many more this week.  Here’s Horror is streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcasts, and more!
