# 6 Jaws

Welcome to the Four Takes Movie Podcast, where we plunge into Jaws for its 50th anniversary! Brace yourselves for an deep dive as we ponder if sharks are just squishy sacks of goodness made entirely of cartilage.

Get ready to meet Colin, our special guest shark expert, whose qualifications include watching every Shark Week episode and owning magnificent shark slippers.

Join us as we navigate the terrifying revelation that some sharks can live for a jaw-dropping 400 years and possess thousands of teeth (in their lifetime). But before the shark talk bites, we take a detour into 2001: Space Odyssey, where Martin was so bewildered by a Directorial choice made him think that his TV was broken.

Then it is back to Jaws, a film so timeless, you might just think it was shot yesterday (apart from the fashion, of course). The team dissect its surprising goriness and the sheer real-life terror it unleashed, making people scared of all water, not just where sharks lurk.

Discover the hilarious truth about how the iconic Jaws poster features the wrong type of shark because the artist had never actually laid eyes on one! We celebrate the legendary Mrs. Kintner slap, which apparently required 17 takes, and question Steven Spielberg's peculiar choice to include a 007 Louisiana license plate, seemingly as a cheeky dig at the James Bond franchise.

Learn how the perpetually broken mechanical shark ironically made the film infinitely better by forcing Spielberg to play on our imaginations.

We also celebrate how Jaws, perhaps unintentionally, became a driving force behind the shark conservation movement. It is a gripping, insightful, and utterly unhinged discussion that proves why some films, like Jaws, just stick with you.
