Is it safe to get into the water? If "Jaws" taught us anything, it was to be cautious of your surroundings before going for a swim.

The Steven Spielberg film is generally considered to be the first big summer blockbuster film, and it celebrates its 50th anniversary this summer.

"Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story" looks at how the film changed movies and is the only documentary that includes the particpation of Spielberg. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with director Laurent Bouzereau, who shares his thoughts on the documentary and the history of "Jaws."

The show also touches on some of this summer's big blockbusters, ranging from "F1" to "Jurrassic World: Rebirth" to "Superman."

The fourth season of "The Bear" has finally arrived, and it's one you'll not want to miss.

Co-host Bruce Miller got access to all episodes before they dropped on Hulu, and the dramatic comedy that is more drama than comedy, has its lighter moments while tugging at your emotions.

Then there is the latest entry in the "28 Days Later" film series, this time advancing the post-apocalyptic zombie-horror franchise "28 Years Later." Miller shares his thoughts on the film and its young breakout star, Alfie Williams.

Lastly, there is a new show on Amazon's Prime Video that drops July 9. A spinoff of the show "Bosch," "Ballard" stars Maggie Q, John Carroll Lynch and Courtney Taylor. Miller has interviews with them all.

Programming note: The show will take a short break for the July 4 holiday, but will return the week of July 13.
