In three years of Adapt or Perish, we've never missed an episode. Until today. 2020 finally got us! Our look at High Fidelity will still be coming, but in two weeks, on Tuesday, December 1. In the meantime, we thought we'd rerun one of our favorites: Jaws. Enjoy!

For this episode, we watched and discussed:

• Benchley’s original novel, published in 1974.
• The 1975 movie, directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring Roy Schneider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw.

Footnotes:

• Thalassophobia: an intense and persistent fear of the sea or of sea travel.
• Fish vs. Cetacea
•  Bears Not Attracted to Menstruating Women  from Live Science
• “Bitch eating crackers”
• The “Father and Son” scene from Jaws
• The USS Indianapolis
• John Milius
• Jaw 2, Jaws 3-D, Jaws: The Revenge, and Jaws 19
• Lorraine Gary and Sid Sheinberg
