Inside Jaws - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I binged this series in two days. The back and forth between the true life stories that inspired jaws and the story of the making of jaws were interwoven to constantly leave the listening wanting more. The story telling was great, can’t recommend enough if you love the movie!

Love these pods, Inside Psycho, Inside Star Wars so was really looking forward to Inside Jaws. As usual well told. My criticism is it takes until episode 4 of 7 to really get into the movie. Way, way too much background on famous shark attacks. Would love to hear more about the movie, the sets, the animatronics, the actors etc. Getting ready to listen to Inside The Exorcist :)

As a huge fan of the film Jaws I was very excited for this podcast. It was well done and I enjoyed the format. The only criticism I have is that it seemed to focus more on Steven Spielberg and his career rather than the film Jaws. I love that as well but I feel like Spielberg’s career should be an entire podcast of itself, one I would gladly like to hear. It took a couple of episodes until we really got to the filming of Jaws. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great listen and I really enjoyed it but it could have been more focused on the film itself.

Very interesting backstory on one of the best films and directors of our time. Love how the story goes back and forth between historic events relating to the theme of the movie, Spielberg’s early life, and the filming.
I really hope they give another movie a similar treatment.

Every episode starts with a gruesomely depicted shark attack story that feels like fluff and a time filler. The ads are ridiculous long. In a 30 minute podcast, you might actually get 10-12 minutes about the movie Jaws. Could have been a great podcast but fell flat.

I love behind the scenes stories. I consider Jaws a masterpiece & of course am familiar with the on set difficulties so was eagerly looking forward to a deeper discussion ve. Unfortunately there was very little about Jaws. Most of this was padding leading up to Jaws. When we finally get to it there was very little I hadn’t read before. No first person accounts by production staff. Very little about day by day accounts. Just “the production ran over because the shark didn’t work. “ The podcast did get me interested in the movie again & watched several scenes on YouTube. Outstanding. The movie wouldn’t have been nearly as good with a green screen and CGI shark. It’s still a masterpiece. Unfortunately this podcast isn’t.
