Episode 137: Episode 137 - The 50th Anniversary of Jaws (1975).

Author: Film89.co.uk August 7, 2025 Duration: 2:09:17
Episode 137 of The Film ‘89 Podcast marks the first time that the guys revisit a film that’s already been covered on a previous episode. 5 years ago on Episode 52, Neil and Skye recorded an audio commentary for the 45th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 masterpiece, Jaws. That episode remains one of Film ‘89’s most downloaded episodes and one that regularly gets mentioned by listeners as one of their favourites. The commentary focussed mainly on the making of Jaws along with Skye and Neil’s analysis of the film, but this episode is going to be a companion piece to the that first episode focussing more on a celebration of Jaws’ legacy as it turns 50 and its impact upon the guys (now joined by Steve), and what they feel makes it a genuine contender for the title of greatest film ever made. But it won’t just be Steve, Skye and Neil talking as this episode features many of the regular Film ‘89 co-hosts, guests, friends from Film Twitter and more, so input from more people than any other episode of Film ‘89 so far, all experts on film, chiming in with their testimonies as to why they feel Jaws is one of the greatest motion pictures ever made.
