This was such an exciting episode to record; Marshall is always a blast to talk to and Howard is an absolute VFX legend. The stories they bring to any conversation are nothing short of insightful.
Loved getting the chance to talk THE HOWLING with them!

Happy 50th, Bruce the Shark!
This week, we're joined by the incredibly cool & suave, Preston Jeter, to discuss the Spielberg classic, JAWS, and how what started as a production nightmare went on to make movie history.
Thanks as always to @jimtandberg.bsky.social for the episode art!

It's fun to see Spielberg and Columbus involved & hopefully this is great for practical creature effects creatives, but can't help but feel a bit 'on-the-fence' as to whether or not this is a good idea. Does everything need a legacy sequel? Does everything need to be franchise-ed?

It's not often someone can say they had artwork--seriously cool artwork--created for a podcast episode they were featured on. But I can say that now.

1981 gave us two absolutely banger werewolf designs AND transformation scenes. John Landis' AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON feature some fantastic effects work from Rick Baker while Joe Dante's THE HOWLING had some superb stuff from Rob Bottin.

For anyone interested in movie monsters, practical creature and makeup effects, or just some cool behind the scenes stories from some absolute banger classics, these are the books for you. From Doctor Who and Star Trek to The Thing and An American Werewolf in London.

Absolutely loving the gnarly cover art for these issues of Star Trek: Red Shirts. Props to Christopher Cantwell & Megan Levans for putting together a really cool and unique Star Trek comic with this series so far. Lots of fresh ideas that never shy away from brutality & intensity!

This is such a fun bts shot from Star Trek: First Contact. The Borg Queen has been somewhat of a contentious canon addition amongst Trekkies, but there’s no doubt that Alice Krige was fantastic in the role & Frakes directed the hell out of this movie.
