Sometimes, a single Los Angeles street corner can tell several stories at once. When I snapped this photo in December 2025, the giant billboard overhead was promoting Jaws: The Exhibition at the nearby Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (just outside the frame to the right). The blockbuster exhibition celebrated the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s legendary thriller and ran for more than six months before closing at the end of July.

Some shark attacks are dramatic. Some are terrifying. And some, like the cover of The Woman Dies by Aoko Matsuda, are strangely calm. At first glance, the scene feels almost peaceful. A young woman with mint-green hair leans casually against the lower jaw of what appears to be a massive Megalodon shark. Blowing a bright blue bubblegum bubble, her posture relaxed, her expression indifferent — it’s as if she’s lounging on a couch rather than sitting inside the mouth of a prehistoric predator.

Sometimes a piece of pop culture merchandise manages to capture the entire spirit of a film in a single object. This wonderfully dramatic Jaws Shark (Attack)Tiki Mug with Swimmer Swizzle Stick does exactly that, turning the iconic movie poster for Jaws into a three-dimensional drinking vessel and immersive, nostalgic experience.

This Sand Shark (Attack) Bar Puzzle by Janet Hill Studio (via the New York Puzzle Company) turns beachside bliss into a hilarious scene of seaside peril. The 500-piece puzzle depicts a whimsical beach bar shaped like the gaping jaws of a Megalodon, where carefree cocktail drinkers lean against the counter while shark fins slice through the sand around unsuspecting sunbathers. Look closely and you’ll even spot the flailing legs of an unlucky diver half-buried in the background! Equal parts cheeky and charming, this one’s sure to make puzzle time a splash.
