Jaws Turns 50… But Is Spielberg Hiding Something in the Water?

🦈 Jaws is turning 50. We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Anniversary! Two Peas Out The Pod (Johnny & Shay) breaking down JAWS (1975)—how Spielberg turned a broken mechanical shark and real-ocean chaos into the first modern summer blockbuster. We cover why Jaws was created, the cast, the budget vs. box office, and then swim through the whole franchise (Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D, Jaws: The Revenge) to see where it still bites—and what the 50th anniversary could bring. 🎬🌊

What we cover in this episode:
🎣 The book-to-film origins (Benchley’s shark obsession → small-town politics → pure suspense)
🎼 Why less shark, more dread + John Williams’ iconic theme worked
👮‍♂️ Brody, Quint, Hooper—why the characters carry the fear
💵 Budgets & box office across all 4 films (the rise, the dip, the… revenge)
🗓️ The 50th Anniversary vibe: retrospectives, screenings, and why a reboot isn’t likely

Bonus content at the end (stick around!):
⚓ USS Indianapolis: Fact vs. Film—what the movie compresses vs. the real tragedy
🧠 Shark Myths Jaws Made Famous—rapid-fire myth-busting you can take to movie night
