Horror Queers

Jaws (1975) feat. Jenn Adams


Listen Later

Karate chop those picket fences and watch out for that severed head because we're discussing Steven Spielberg's Academy Award®-winning blockbuster 'Jaws' (1975) for its 50th anniversary! Tagging in for the conversation is Joe's Murder Made Fiction co-host Jenn Adams, making this a super-sized podcast crossover event!

Join us as we go all in on this gem of aquatic horror history, from the source novel's origins (including a review from Fidel Castro???) to the infamously troubled film production and the real-life stories that inspired the story.

Plus: a queer reading of our three male leads, discussing the importance of John Williams' score, sympathy for Mr. Mayor (huh?), and the ultimate question: can sharks commit murder?
