    Jaws Obsession 104: NEW Brody-Kintner Connection | Amity is a Third Island | EJU Minute 14

    Minute 14 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Utilizing prequel novel, The Book of Quint, we enhance our understanding of the film. Why were the Brody's at that beach on Sunday June 29, 1974? New discovery adds to the drama of Jaws. A small change by Lorraine Gary creates a layer of narrative we never saw before. Amazing moments happen when we slow the movie down, AND add the context of previous discoveries in past episodes. A listener email allows us to recap and get on the same page in the Expanded Jaws Universe, and now we see a true connection between the Brody family and Alex Kintner. Proof that Amity is one of three islands off the coast of Massachusetts heard on the radio. 00:00 Intro 04:50 USS Indianapolis Presentations Thanks 10:05 Listener Email and Brody Timeline Recap 32:09 Martin Brody needs a resolution 33:33 Minute 14 Analaysis 35:04 "When Do I Get to Become and Islander" 38:20 The New Discovery 1:00:18 New context for Ellen and Martin 1:06:28 Pipit and Stephen Potter 1:11:47 Pipit's Fate 1:14:13 Radio Announcer tells us Amity is a third island 1:24:41 Closing Show notes & photos: https://t.me/jawsob .

Did Harry Meadows, played by Carl Gottlieb, give us the biggest hint of Amity Island History in Jaws? A Jaws Universe Timeline update. We isolate down to the minute when these events are happening.

    Jaws Obsession 100: Jaws Retcon 2027

    100 Episodes of Jaws Obsession presents a new mountain to climb. The great Jaws Retcon of 2027 has started. We have a path forward to restore the legacy of Jaws with an expanded Jaws universe. The Book of Quint and the Jaws Obsession research has opened the door to something amazing. Steven Spielberg will turn 80 in December 2026, and for 2027, on the 40th anniversary of the studio killing the Jaws franchise with a failed 4th film in 1987, we all can present him with this gift--a new book. A book to go back in time and take care of Jaws with the characters we all love.   Our trip to Los Angeles and the Jaws Exhibition at the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum provides inspiration and context into why Jaws Retcon 2027 is more important than ever. Jaws turned 50 and we can't let this moment go into history by sitting on our hands.
