AN IB WORLD SCHOOL

See Chad & Dave's Movie Podcast on Jaws

May 11, 2020

To combat boredom, Upper School teachers Dave Holte and Chad Rigsby are watching a movie a week and discussing it online.  Check out their first movie podcast discussing Jaws on the SGS YouTube Channel with student guests Gibson Montgomery and Aidan Reichel. 

This week’s “Movie of the Week” is Norman Jewison’s In the Heat of the Night—which tells a detective story set against the backdrop of murder and racism in 1967 Mississippi.  This film was shockingly rated G upon release.  It would earn a much more serious rating now because of racist language and adult themes, but it won Best Picture and is regarded as one of the few films about racism that has stood the test of time.   

Students, faculty and staff interested in joining Chad and Dave on Friday, May 15 and talking over In the Heat of the Night can shoot an email to david.holte@sgs.org or chad.rigsby@sgs.org.  They will also have a “mailbag,” so send them questions or conversation pieces about the film or related topics ahead of time and they’ll try to answer them.  Or if you’re just interested in watching a great movie, you can check out In the Heat of the Night in the next few days and listen in on their conversation next week.
