The Final Ghouls are going back into the water as we look at the mother of all shark movies in 1975's Jaws!  Holly, Jeremy and L dive deep into the themes of Steven Spielberg's man vs. nature thriller, recount its infamously-troubled production history, and talk about our love of the three lead characters as they spend time out on the water.

Get Ready For: Discussion of the anti-capitalist elements of the film, Jeremy's argument for why this is a slasher film, the value of practical effects (and what's wrong with current CGI), L reporting their research (credit to Plumbing the Death Star) on how to help or stop a shark, thoughts on how it created the summer blockbuster and why blockbuster season is very different in Australia, Holly's disdain for live-action Disney remakes, how easy the mayor is to hate and some surprising (but valid!) related recommendations.
