Episode 55 - Jaws (pt 1)

The EscapeGoat Podcast

In a first for the show, we're doing a two-parter! On obscure movie curio Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975). He Is Risen.

For this initial part, I'm joined by returning shipmate John and guest skipper the brilliant Simon Barraclough. Together, we start getting our teeth into The Big Fish Film. *WARNING* may contain poetry.

Stay tuned for pt 2....

0.00 A Trip to Amity

1.01 On The Boat

John has been watching and talking about television comedy since people repeatedly started singing the theme tune to 1980s sitcom Dear John at him. He has also been on quite a few episodes of the show now - including a fab conversation about two very different 90s sitcom endings. And, of course, And Ninthly (which will be back soon...)

Simon is a poet, writer and editor who used to have a fear of mechanical sharks. Usually found in the cinema or between the pages of a book. There’s more at simonbarraclough.com

NOTES

You can watch that clip of The Doomsday Machine here. And Alex Under deserves credit, always.

By the way, at roughly the same time we recorded this episode (and its pt 2), friends of the show Kit Power and Jack Graham recorded (with their friend Ellliot Chapman) this excellent chat about Jaws! By complete coincidence! Please do give it a listen, it's great.
