The Shark Will Always Work
from Coffee and Deathsticks · host Kevin Romani
Fifty years ago, a picture about a shark inaugurated a new era in cinema. And like the Chinese alchemists who accidentally invented gunpowder while trying to create the elixir of life, Jaws has led to immense suffering and exploitation. But who cares? Steven Spielberg's debut on the world stage remains an untouchable masterpiece of Big Movie Magic. It is a perfect film. To dislike it is to be inhuman. There is nothing new to say about this movie but Danny and Kevin would probably be reading books if it weren't for this film. And like the Qianlong Emperor, we believe books serve only to corrupt youth. So listen and celebrate fifty years of Jaws with us.Follow us on Instagram at coffeeanddeathpod or email us at [email protected]
