Hey everyone!
First off—thank you for your patience. Life piled up on me a little, and Episode 20c ended up dragging more in production than I expected. But now it’s here.
This installment dives deep into the book vs. movie differences around the Fourth of July scenes, Mayor Vaughan’s desperation, Brody’s compromises, and of course… Quint. I think you’re really going to enjoy this one. Even though much of the episode didn't lend itself to a lot of sound production...I have a computer that can handle it now, so I shot my shot in the SFX department, as much as I could. I hope you like it.
Also, you won’t be waiting nearly as long for JAWS Part 4, the finale. It’s already underway, and I want to make sure it lands quickly so we can wrap up this beast the way it deserves.
As always, thank you for sticking with me, supporting the show, and making it possible for me to take the time to go this deep into these stories. You folks are the best. ~Paul
Hey everyone,
First off, I owe you an apology — I’m dropping this episode one day before Halloween, and I know most of you probably won’t get to hear it until after the holiday. Evil forces in my personal life conspired to delay this one — the kind of bad luck that would make Mr. Dark proud.
That said, it’s here — Something Wicked This Way Comes. Ray Bradbury’s book is better (no surprise there), and, well… Disney’s always gonna Disney when it comes to adaptations. Still, I think you’ll enjoy what I’ve got for you.
As always, thank you so much for your patience, your support, and for sticking with me through the chaos. You all make this show possible, and I can’t say that enough.
Happy Halloween — or close enough. ~Paul
This episode picks up where we left off — inside the movie palaces that made Hollywood feel untouchable. Even as the Depression hit, the lights stayed on and audiences kept showing up for escape.
We’ll look at how the studios kept the doors open even when the seats weren’t full.
It’s the end of the dream’s golden glow — right before the business behind it started to crack.
Thanks for listening and keeping this show going. ~Paul
Thank you all for your patience and kindness during the making of this Jaws series. It’s been a long swim, but we finally reached the shore with this final episode. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride, and that this last installment brings it all home for you.
This series has been a blast to put together—even with the challenges—and your support has made all the difference. I couldn’t have done it without you.
I hope you like this closing chapter of the Jaws series, and as always, thank you so much for listening, for sticking with me, and for being part of this little community we’ve built here.
More to come. ~Paul
