This summer beaches are growing increasingly empty. While recently that reason has been because of social distancing and the coronavirus. For moviegoers in 1975, it was something else completely. Steven Spielberg scared audiences out of the water by birthing the fear of sharks - thanks to Jaws. Celebrating its 45th anniversary, this year, we are looking back at a movie that terrified a generation out of the water and its incredible legacy up to this point. Dani Arii (of Dani Arri Cosplay (https://bit.ly/315guest ) joins us to discuss nostalgia, cosplay, stereotypes surrounding the mental health of men & more.
