Jaws Vs. Jurassic Park (Ep. 0004)

Episode Summary: Film is often a canvas that can be used for so many things. They reflect the politics of the time. They often reflect the issues that people faced. Artists embody those by reflecting them onto the big screen But you also have movies like Jaws and Jurrasic Park. Two movies that can only be described as downright adventures. In the heaviness of any time period, leisure can be had in the form of pure entertainment. At a base level, film exists to transport us. It transports us to a time that we didn’t experience or tickles our imagination to wrap our minds around something we can’t comprehend on our own. Nothing accomplishes this like these two films. During randos, the guys talk about what it took to make these films, the struggles of the mechanical shark, the CGI of JP, Steven Spielberg’s desire to walk on making Jaws, and the improvised acting moments that often get buried by the action of Jaws. Movie Wars Scorecard Best Top Bill Cast Best Supporting Cast Who would you rather be eaten by? Dino CGI Vs Practical JawsTastiest characters Jaws Vs T Rex Best Spielberg Best scoreBest pet for a millionaire?Quint Vs a Dinosaur Best intro kill scene Best Kills/deaths  Which sets up for the best franchise? Film SummariesJaws: When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town.
