What genre does Jaws fit into? Horror? Action/Adventure? Drama? How about all three?

The key to finding the answer is within the John Williams effect.

What are the elements of a horror movie and how do they relate to Jaws.

A listener email question sets the wheels in motion to analyzing the infamous "A Whaaat" line. Were the three fishermen in Jaws a device used by Steven Spielberg to establish context in the movie? Who are they and what are their names?

Who is the Jaws Lando?

John Williams walks back retirement plans.

In order to have subtext, context needs to be given. What is context and how does JAWS utilize it to give subtext to scenes later in the film?

The Book of Quint: A 400+ page novel detailing the events that make Quint into the fearless shark hunter of Amity Island. Follow him from 1945 to 1968, and witness how Quint rises to become a legend of the North Atlantic.

Not only will this story stand alone and create a gripping and dramatic tale of Quint, but also, after reading it, your viewing of the movie Jaws will never be the same. You will notice performances of minor characters and objects in backgrounds that now take on a whole new meaning. This is essentially what a prequel should do—make the original more enjoyable.
