The birth of the modern day blockbuster was made by a 26 year-old director and a trio of mechanical sharks that constantly broke down. So why was Jaws so successful? Listen as we discuss the reasons a movie about a giant fish terrorizing a small New England town in the summer of 1975 was the first movie to make over 100 million dollars and have 67 million people see it the summer it was released. We didn't need a bigger boat but we did need a longer than usual episode to talk about this classic film. Enjoy!
