Jurassic Park / Barrell Seagrass 16

Bob and Brad wrap up their mini-series of Spielberg films with Bob's all-time favorite movie, the 1993 masterpiece Jurassic Park .

Raiders of the Lost Ark / Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength

Bob and Brad continue their mini-series of Spielberg films with 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Often considered a perfect "entertainment," this film certainly doesn't have a lot going on beneath the surface, but that just highlights the filmmaking craft of Spielberg all the more. Our hosts sing the praises of the cast, particularly the supporting players, and are pleasantly surprised by the number of visual gags on display. Meanwhile, they revisit Laphroaig Distillery with the cask-strength ver...

Jaws / Highland Park 12

Season Six kicks off with one of the most popular films ever, director Steven Spielberg 's breakthrough Jaws . Widely considered one of the best horror movies ever made, the famously-troubled production led to a tightly-edited masterclass in tension. Brad and Bob discuss the film's two very different halves, as well as the unsung acting heroics of Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfus .
