GROWING UP ON ‘AMITY’ ISLAND! A RAW AND UNCENSORED DISCUSSION WITH HOLLYWOOD SET BUILDER DAVID ‘HAMBONE’ HAMBLEN

It doesn’t get any more honest and raw than this! David Hamblen’s Mom and friends call him Hambone. He’s a Hollywood set builder and a Martha’s Vineyard Islander who was there when JAWS was filmed. His Old Man, Ward Welton, painted BRUCE the shark, among other things, and Hambone pulls no punches in this brutally honest behind-the-scenes look at JAWS and growing up on ‘Amity.’ He describes the JAWS crew as ‘glorified f***ing summer dinks;’ he ‘ran bases’ with Spielberg and Schneider; he karate-chopped the white-picket fences; and that’s just the start. “When I watch Jaws,” he says. “I’m watching home.” PLEASE NOTE:This episode contains much more adult language and F-bomgs than our normal episodes. You’ve been warned. It may not be safe to go back in the water! (But you’re sure to laugh you’re a**es off!).

We love JAWS! And for the 45th anniversary of this awesome masterwork by the master, Steven Spielberg, we’ve done a series of shows featuring crew, actors and personalities from the film. To see our other episodes, check out the links below. And remember — we’ll always need a bigger boat!
