In this episode, Sarah and MJ are joined by Rob Wallis to talk about Spielberg's major studio debut, The Sugarland Express. They discuss its similarities and differences with Duel, the "aw, shucks" style performances, how the film was received by critics such as Ebert, Siskel, and Pauline Kael, and how the film was influenced by Westerns, Italian Neorealism, and the French New Wave.

In the first post-Jaws franchise episode of LJFAM, MJ and Sarah take a look at Steven Spielberg's first feature film, Duel. They discuss the influence of Hitchcock on the film, how fully formed Spielberg's sensibilities were out of the gate, a charming mistake that can be found in the phone booth scene, the recurring thematic and visual motifs that stem from Duel and happen throughout the rest of Spielberg's career, and whether the truck driver is both inside and outside the diner. They also come to a potentially controversial decision regarding the film's status as a horror movie and a slasher movie.

This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Shaurya Chawla to talk about the final film in the Jaws franchise, Jaws The Revenge! They discuss whether the movie is as bad as its reputation, the score's troubled road to a commercially available release, other films that embody one of the film's worst traits, the ethics of film criticism, and then they decide to get cancelled by ranking the Jaws sequels from favorite to least favorite.

In this episode, Sarah and MJ are joined by Emma Whitty Haddock to discuss Jaws 3-D! They talk about the immaculate 3-D effects, wonderful sound design, and impeccable direction as well as Emma's time working at an aquarium, Dennis Quaid's amnesia at appearing in the film due to his.....altered state, and they solve the mystery contained within Jaws 3-D.

LJFAM triumphantly returns to begin the next leg of their journey, discussing each of the JAWS sequels (as a whole, not minute by minute). First up is JAWS 2. Sarah and MJ discuss how this film takes the slasher conventions established by the original film and cranks them to 100. There's emojis, an alternate idea for what JAWS 2 could have been, and a bit of a connection to Roger Corman as well.

It's the Megalodon-sized final (of this iteriation) episode of LJFAM! In this episode, surprises abound, one of your illustrious co-hosts deals with yet another broken ankle, and Sarah and MJ answer your questions! They go deep (get it?) on how JAWS plays to them now, what they learned about the film and themselves along the way (the real JAWS was the friends we made, it turns out), they talk about their favorite recurring bits, and the plan for the future of LJFAM is revealed. 

In the final minute by minute episode of Let's Jaws for a Minute, Sarah and MJ are joined by Kevin Held, a.k.a Sean Orleans to talk about Brody's triumphant moments following Bruce's demise all the way up until the final credits roll. They wax poetic about the end of the show, discuss barrell continuity one last time, and talk about the bittersweet nature of Hooper and Brody heading back to shore sans-Quint. Finally, they come to the conclusion that the real Jaws was the friends they made along the way.

In the penultimate minute by minute episode of LJFAM, Sarah and MJ are joined by Calum Cooper to talk about the scene in which Brody stabs the shark with a spear and then blows up the oxygen tank in the shark's mouth. They discuss how the individual elements of the scene make-up a triumphant climax for the film, connections to Moby Dick, and most importantly, begin the episode with a critical piece of shark knowledge that should have been divulged to our listeners ages ago.

This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Dan Cole to discuss the aftermath of Quint's death, and Brody's quick thinking to toss the oxygen tank into the shark's mouth. They talk about the confined space of the Orca's cabin, how quickly the film moves from event to event without feeling rushed, how the film is colored in around the edges by the disaster movies of the 1970's, and whether or not the shark roars as it charges into the cabin.

In this episode, Sarah and MJ are joined by Tom Grant-Ward of the Lost in The Lockdown podcast to discuss Quint's final moments. They go in-depth into what this moment means for Brody, how the scene functions as a microcosm of Quint's entire arc over the film, the next-level production design of Joe Alves, and invent a new breakfast cereal.
