Zombies, wrestlers, and reality show hosts reviving their careers are all like sharks, but how? They’re all in Popverse Playlist for July 4-10, 2026

What could make your July 4 celebrations so much better? Jaws, of course - and the three recommendations we have for your next week of pop culture

We’re going to switch things up a little this week with an additional sneaky recommendation, because there’s absolutely no way I can pass up the opportunity to remind everyone that the July 4 holiday is the ideal time to rewatch Jaws, which is a perfect movie and something that captures the terror inherent in every single summer season, just outright asking the question hidden inside every seasonal getaway: Am I going to have a good time or am I going to be eaten by a terrifying shark? This weekend, friends, skip that get-together and spend 124 minutes in the company of Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw. You’ll be glad you did.

Oh, wait, I should remind you all that this is Popverse Playlist and we’re here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff
