## Resource

Chris Paul and Burning Bright drop into the water for a look at Spielberg's 1975 classic, and yes, the animatronic shark holds up better than you'd think. The guys dig into why practical tension still beats modern CGI, trade theories on whether Jaws would scare anyone who first saw it as an adult, and take a hard swing at Spielberg's recent output along the way. Expect real talk about shark encounters, a detour into Moby Dick style "nature doesn't care about your plans" philosophy, and some genuinely funny tangents about beach trips gone wrong. Stick around for listener boosts, chat shoutouts, and the reveal of next week's pick, a 1997 mind bender that's already got the chat buzzing. Grab a snack, maybe stay out of the water.
