Listen "Jaws"
Episode Synopsis
For this week's Summerween, we're looking at an all-time classic. Jaws is the ultimate summer horror film, but after rewatching it, we also think it takes a quiet tour through some of our favorite horror subgenres. There's a horror sensibility running through everything here, from the crafty script that overwhelms you with doomed mentors, to the legendary score and paranoid editing. And at the center of it all lies Chief Brody, who strikes us now as an updated George Bailey from It's A Wonderful Life, and a shortcut into this film's similarly glorious anti-capitalist messaging. Last but not least, the shark is terrifying. [As mentioned in the episode] The word "summerween" is not our invention, but one we've seen used across the internet for various Halloween/autumnal/horror content in the summer months. Maggie first heard the term from allisonpaiges on YouTube, who participates in the Summwerween read-a-thon hosted by gabbyreads and and oliviareadsalatte on YouTube. Credit where credit is due!
