  John Mulaney: Baby J 2023

  ★★★★ Rewatched 05 Mar 2025

  "If you wanted me there early you should've texted me 'we have cocaine'."

  “Smile, you son of a bitch.”

  I’m honestly embarrassed that it has taken me nearly 30 years to finally watch Jaws but, I’ll admit it, it’s one hell of a film. I think I subconsciously associate Spielberg with, for the most part, family-friendly films so to say I was surprised at the amount of actual gore in Jaws is an understatement. The archetype for the “summer blockbuster”, there is still true authenticity in this flick, woven into the backstories and dialogue of…
