From the creators of Inside Psycho and Inside the Exorcist comes a new story about a classic movie and its inspirations. A tale of a modest thriller that became an ordeal and then a disaster and then a phenomenon and then a classic. A story of one man, a fresh-faced, inexperienced director who nearly wrecked his promising career and became the most important filmmaker of our era. This is Inside JAWS.

According to Carl Gottleib, the boat sank when planking was pulled out during filming the scene where the shark pulls the boat backwards. He doesn't mention anything about losing an anchor. Alas I keep listening because in every other respect this podcast is excellent

I've just finished "The Jaws Log" by Carl Gottleib and there is no mention of the shark sinking the boat as it was able to lower the cage for Carl Rizzo. Seems like this podcast is stretching the truth somewhat

loving the series so far, I just hope nobody gets the wrong idea about sharks as they are vital to to the eco system.

I've listened to this twice. It is an incredible, well organized, well narrated history. Too bad it was one of the first pod casts I ever listened to, it will be hard for others to live up to.

We are all different and enjoy different things- that is why there are thousands of podcasts to choose from. If you don't enjoy one, simply move on to another podcast. It's ok not to enjoy something - but bashing it or them because you simply don't care for it? Constructive comments is one thing, but aren't we all tired of everyone hating on each other for trying? I don't know anyone affiliated with this podcast but they worked hard on this. Good for them for putting themselves out there!
