Description

Simon Pegg—star of Shaun of the Dead, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, and The Boys—joins The Daily Jaws Podcast to discuss the movie that bit him early and never let go.


Simon sits down with Ross to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the film he calls “a cascade of moments.” From his childhood VHS viewing to seeing it as a masterclass in emotional storytelling, Simon explores how Jaws has shaped his creative life. They discuss the craftsmanship of Spielberg, the restraint of not showing the shark, the flawless ensemble cast, and the philosophical weight of a film so often misunderstood as simply a monster movie.


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.
