Description

Actor, writer, and director Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Superbad, Outpost) joins The Daily Jaws Podcast to talk about the film that made him pick up a camera for the first time.


Joe speaks with Ross about watching Jaws 2 before the original, the moment he finally saw Ben Gardner’s head, and the way Spielberg’s work sparked his imagination. They explore how Jaws taught him about tone, character dynamics, and building tension without ever cheating the audience. Joe also opens up about his work as a filmmaker, his favourite shark geek trivia, and the emotional resonance of Brody’s arc as a man trying to do the right thing in a world of red tape and fear.


And just when he thinks it’s safe to sit down for a podcast, a surprise guest crashes the interview to lay down the law.
