Episode Description

We're gonna need a bigger pod! Logan & Andy team up with local oceanographer-in-training Matt Hurt (The Obsessive Viewer) to talk about THE RISE OF SPIELBERG. In honor of acclaimed director Steven Spielberg's latest release, Disclosure Day, the trio discuss his first television film, Duel (1971); his first theatrical film, The Sugarland Express (1974); and his (the) first blockbuster, 1975's Jaws. How does his first film hold up over 50 years later? How did he evolve as a director in Sugarland? And how can one director make a tanker truck, a shark, and Goldie Hawn's unbridled screams all feel so similarly monstrous? Find out on this frenzied new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
