Phil Rosenthal JAWS 50th Anniversary Interview
Interview available Chewsday 2 September on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts
In this very special 50th anniversary conversation, Ross welcomes writer, producer and host Phil Rosenthal — the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond and star of Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil. Phil takes us back to 1975 and his opening day experience of Jaws, describing it as the single most thrilling cinema event of his life.
From memories of packed theatres, flying popcorn and the unforgettable jump scares, to his reflections on Spielberg’s genius and John Williams’ score, Phil shares how Jaws shaped his love of movies and even inspired his career in entertainment. The discussion also explores the humour at the heart of the film, the symbolism of its characters, and why Jaws still outshines today’s CGI-heavy blockbusters.
And just when Phil thought it was safe to sit down for a podcast, a surprise guest stops by to lay down the law
This episode is a celebration of Jaws not only as a masterpiece of suspense and adventure, but as the film that redefined summer cinema.
