This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Lucy and Linzi Buglass to talk about the introduction of everyone's favorite salty sea captain, Quint! They cover the memorable dialog coupled with Robert Shaw's incredible performance, draw parallels between him and the shark, wonder what would happen if the three main characters were all women, and stumble across an...illuminating fan theory surrounding the first mates of Quint and Ben Gardner.

This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Tim Coleman of Moving Pictures Film Club to discuss the back half of the town meeting. They cover everything from the theory that the scene is about the five stages of grief, alternate introductions for Quint, and one of the most iconic lines in cinema history, "24 hours is like 3 weeks!"

This week, MJ and Sarah leave the beaches of Amity for a terse town hall meeting discussing the reward on the shark's head placed by Alex Kitner and the prospect of closing the beaches. While a lot is happening on the surface of this scene to begin with, the duo find much more happening underneath the surface as they discover the thematic thrust of the scene potentially being the five stages of grief as well as the undeniable fact that Jaws is a time travel movie!

Alex Kitner month finally draws to a close as Sarah and MJ are joined by Tom Beasley to discuss the untimely demise of Alex Kitner at the hands (teeth) of the shark. This episode runs the gamut from emotional connections to the real world, the famous "zolly" shot, more repetitious themes, and an extra who is having the absolute best time pretending to be a panicked beach-goer.

This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Liam Johnstone to discuss the final moments leading up to Alex Kitner's horrible fate. They talk about everything from Hitchock's influence on (and hatred for) the film, the brilliantly loud sound design, and of course, the nefarious underpinnings surrounding Bad Hat Harry. There were some audio issues, but it is still perfectly listenable!

This week Sarah and MJ find themselves back on the beaches of Amity as the scene draws ever closer to its unfortunate end. They dicuss the intensity in which Brody is studying the ocean, The numbers of potential victims growing exponentially, Mr. Taft's BDE (Bold Dad Energy), and the ways in which hiccups in the sound mix can underscore a character's state of mind.

This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Andrew Gaudion (@AndyGaudion93) to discuss the back half of the scene on the ferry. They talk about more parallels with the preadator/prey dynamic, aggressive but awesome suits, and what exactly the medical inspector's name is as well as this film as a response to the era of Richard Nixon. Also, this episode features the debut of the theme song Tiger Shark by Kristen Falls! If you would like to purchase this straight up bop, it is available at phantomstrangerinc.bandcamp.com.

This week, Sarah and MJ follow Chief Brody as he takes the ferry to stop the boy scouts from doing their mile swim. Along the way, he is stopped and intimidated by Mayor Vaughn, his cronies, and his aggressively patterned suit. MJ likens him to the mayor of his town growing up, they discuss more parallels to the pandemic, and there's an accidental Borat impression.

This week, Sarah and MJ get a lay of the land in the town of Amity as Brody rushes from the police station to the hardware store. The comparisons to the ongoing pandemic continue, and they dig up a few personal stories that show just how grounded in everyday life JAWS is. Also, this scene marks the first of two cameos from the genius behind the camera himself, Steven Spielberg!
