The Jaws Obsession

Minute 14 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Utilizing prequel novel, The Book of Quint, we enhance our understanding of the film. Why were the Brody's at that beach on Sunday June 29, 1974? New discovery adds to the drama of Jaws. A small change by Lorraine Gary creates a layer of narrative we never saw before. Amazing moments happen when we slow the movie down, AND add the context of previous discoveries in past episodes. A listener email allows us to recap and get on the same page in the Expanded Jaws Universe, and now we see a true connection between the Brody family and Alex Kintner. Proof that Amity is one of three islands off the coast of Massachusetts heard on the radio. 00:00 Intro 04:50 USS Indianapolis Presentations Thanks 10:05 Listener Email and Brody Timeline Recap 32:09 Martin Brody needs a resolution 33:33 Minute 14 Analaysis 35:04 "When Do I Get to Become and Islander" 38:20 The New Discovery 1:00:18 New context for Ellen and Martin 1:06:28 Pipit and Stephen Potter 1:11:47 Pipit's Fate 1:14:13 Radio Announcer tells us Amity is a third island 1:24:41 Closing Show notes & photos: https://t.me/jawsob .

Jaws brings the story of the USS Indianapolis and the 316 survivors to a new generation with a new prequel book. Son of survivor James Belcher Sr, Jim Belcher Jr. takes us through more of the story that wasn't included in the famous Robert Shaw monologue in Jaws - like the Kamikaze attack that sent the Indianapolis on its path toward history. Author Ryan Dacko uses best-seller The Book of Quint, a Jaws prequel novel, to show how Quint's character can pass the legacy of the Indianapolis to the next generation in 2026 and beyond.

Minute 12 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Utilizing prequel novel, The Book of Quint, we enhance our understanding of the film.  Mayor Vaughn meets with Brody on the Amity Harbor Ferry. We put an end to the myth of the bumbling Jaws mayor and prove he is a calculated and experienced political opponent. Going line by line, we see Mayor Vaughn and reporter Harry Meadows are revealing more to the story. With the Book of Quint, it is very clear what is going on. "It's happened before." Did Harry Meadows, played by Carl Gottlieb, give us the biggest hint of Amity Island History in Jaws? A Jaws Universe Timeline update. We isolate down to the minute when these events are happening. A new documentary is in the making, and Host Ryan Dacko is on the advisory circle: Jaws Explored (www.jawsexplored.com) will be a documentary unlike any other Jaws documentary made over the years.
