COMIC-CON AFTERSHOW: The Highs, the Lows, Surprises, and Best Moments

In 1974, Steven Spielberg filmed JAWS in Martha&#39;s Vineyard, as a stand-in for the fictional AMITY ISLAND. The movie was released on June 20, 1975, and become a phenomenon, jumpstarting the era of summer blockbusters. 50 years later, idyllic Martha&#39;s Vineyard opened its arms to welcome back cast, crew, and the fans that made JAWS one of the most impactful motion pictures of all time. On this episode, THE CON GUYS take you inside our trip to Martha&#39;s Vineyard to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the classic film. Martha&#39;s Vineyard may be pretty, but it&#39;s as salty as ever... WE LOVED IT!
