Surprise! Golden Jawgust is not over yet! Well, okay it is - But JAWSTEMBER is here! Today! And only for today (imagine if I just kept going and started over?)Today I wanted to - well I wanted to sing a September song, that's mostly what I wanted to do. But I thought it would be fun to talk about some extra Jaws related stuff. Some silly. Some trying to be serious. Some trying to be fun. None of them all that successful.But we'll always have yesterday....In this episode I talk about issue 129 of Cracked Magazine, issue 180 of Mad Magazine, an old Marvel Comic of JAWS 2, and I play a video game from 38 years ago.
We did it! We made it! The final day of Golden Jawgust! Today, not only did I celebrate the final moments of JAWS - but I also celebrated the ENTIRE movie as I went to see at our nearby AMC theater on their IMAX Screen!Not only that – but I spoke to my good friend Jason who also went to see it down in FL – but his experience was very different – and I was jealous of all of it!As this project comes to an end – I just want to say thank you to everyone who joined the show. Thank you Chris! Thank you Eric!And a big thanks to Mike B for his comments and support – and his great gift!Special shout out to my wife for putting up with me all month! And thanks to everyone who listened along the way. I really appreciate it. JAWGUST FOREVER!!!
What a great day today was! Not only did I spend the afternoon/evening up in Maine with my wife - but I also got to record a few things for the today's penultimate episode of Golden Jawgust! And on top of that, I get to share an amazing Cameo video I got from listener - and contributor to the show - Mike B.And of course I cover the next 4 minutes of JAWS - where Quint meets his demise, The Orca is going down fast, and Brody is left desperately hanging on for dear life.And I notice a stuntman or two...ONE MORE DAY! ONE DAY MORE! I can't believe it all comes to an end tomorrow! Let's GOOOO!
Can you believe that after today there are only two episodes of Golden Jawgust left? But before I swim off into the horizon, today I am lucky enough to not only have one - but TWO returning guests as my buddies Eric and Chris join the show and meet for the first time!Today is spent almost entirely underwater with Hooper and his anti-anti-shark cage.That is not a typo.
Today on Golden Jawgust, we honor the late great Robert Shaw, who we lost on this day forty-seven years ago. I also talk about how there's finally a JAWS perfume. About time!In today's segment, the Orca is dead in the water and the three men realize that their only option is Hooper's cage. He was up for suggestions, but there weren't any.Here is a copy of Robert Shaw's Obituary, with the wrong age, from August 28, 1978 issue of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
It's the final Prince Spaghetti Day of Golden Jawgust! Today we spend some time with some barrels, talk about a few more toys, and read a more great comments (which is why we talked about those toys!)Oh, and the shark is now chasing the Orca!
Happy Tuesday Golden Jawgust! We've been flying this podcast all month long and while we're not ready to land just yet, I feel like we're starting to make our final approach. After today there are only five more episodes left! Can you believe it!?In today's segment - we see a shark, a couple barrels, there's some shooting - some smiling - and we get another quotable line from, who else, Mr. Quint.Oh and I spend some time talking about an old toy. And a new one.SUBSCRIBE:Apple | Spotify | Amazon Music | RedCircle | PodBean | YouTube Music | YouTube Playlist | RSSFOLLOW:Bluesky | TikTok | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | YouTube
Today on Golden Jawgust we start to say goodbye to days! After twenty-five podcasts we're now down to our final Monday of the JAWGUST. Today, I think it's safe to say this is the most we've seen the shark yet! Just don't try to radio the Coast Guard to tell them about it - it won't end well.
I'm tired and I want to go to bed. But not before bringing you another magical episode of Golden Jawgust! Today we get the end of the speech and a hull's almost breached. And there's singing.
Happy Saturday Golden Jawgust listeners! Can you believe we have less than ten days to go!? Today was another big moment in JAWS. Pretty much the entirety of today's segment and today's episode was Quint's classic speech.Along with today's segment, I also played a cool clip from Steven Spielberg talking about Robert Shaw and that moment, I referenced another great Daily Jaws article, and I played part of a song from TV Girl, I band I stumbled upon today - for obvious reasons once you listen to the episode (listen to the song after).So what are you waiting for? Go listen!
Happy Friday Golden Jawgust faithful! This evening my wife and I went to a New Hampshire casino. Why? What's the significance? Well, as I mention on the show a slot machine I played does somewhat stay on the theme of JAWS.And in today's segment, Quint takes his first shot at the shark (learn more about his harpoon gun thanks to Daily Jaws) and then the guys just wait. And drink.
Welcome to my latest episode. This is the big one, the one I've been waiting for all my life....Two days of in a row with "boat" in the title? Where else in your podcast library are you going to find something like that except Golden Jawgust?Well, maybe a podcast about boats.In this four minutes we have one of the most iconic movie quotes of all time. I also talk about a compilation video of people reacting to that moment for the first time.Now I am starting to feel bad that I gave Eric a day where Brody ties a not.
Day 20 of Golden Jawgust is here! Tonight I read another comment from a superfan and play a voicemail from a familiar voice. And we even go outside the studio for a bit of unplanned recording.In today's segment, they may just have made first contact with the fish (even if Hooper isn't convinced). I wonder what tomorrow will bring....
Nineteen days in and tonight's Golden Jawgust might have been the most fun I've had all month! My longtime friend since high school, and Geek Mentality veteran, Eric joined me tonight for his 12th time on the show. We talked about a fairly quiet four minutes. There was some foreshadowing. Some arguing. Something biting. But most importantly - there was some drinking!
After today, there is only one more Monday left in Golden Jawgust! Time flies when you're having fun talking about one of the greatest movies of all time.Today, we say Farewell to Ellen Brody and adieu to Amity. We see all of Hooper's fun toys, and we get to hear Robert Shaw sing - twice.And that's not all...
As of yesterday Golden Jawgust is now officially half way over. Two weeks from tonight is the final episode and as far away as that felt just a few days ago, it will be here before we know it! So let's enjoy every day while we can - and today was a great four minutes.We get Larry finally giving in and approving the hiring of Quint. We get our three heroes together for the first time
It's Sweet Sixteen day for Golden Jawgust! My dad's birthday! My parents' anniversary! And MORE JAWGUST!!!Today I am joined by one of my Fine Movies. Fine Spirits co-hosts, joining Geek Mentality for the 10th time, my pal Chris! And maybe - just maybe - he's not the only co-host to join the show.Today we learn that the shark worked with a couple of kids to create a diversion in order finally get another delicious meal.
Happy Friday morning, Golden Jawgust faithful! My dog woke me up extra early today so I thought I'd turn on the Jawgust machine and talk about the next four minutes of JAWS right away!And I mostly did that. You'll see.Today, Mayor Vaughn coerces some locals into the water and spins the hell out of what's been happening to the news crew. Chief talks his son into taking a boat into the pond - and all hell is about to break loose on Amity.
Happy Thursday, Golden Jawgust listeners! Today I talk a little bit about a text exchange I had that also relates to some recent Spotify comments.Oh and for the four minutes - Larry Vaughn is still terrible. Brody and Hooper are doing everything they can to keep people safe, and Peter Benchley makes his film debut.I also talk about the arcade game featured in this segment of the movie, Killer Shark. Learn more at SegaRetro.org and see someone restore a Killer Shark cabinet on pinsider.com.
Happy Lucky Day 13, Golden Jawgust fans! Today, both Hooper and I got in some water - but his experience was a lot scarier than mine. The show is up extra late tonight because I spent the day up in the Weirs Beach area of New Hampshire with my wife (and saw something pretty amazing - though not JAWS related - at a thrift store).Anywho, today Ben Gardner's dead. We talk about his head (check out the article I mentioned). And I come to really, really, really hate Mayor Vaughn even more.
