Jaws Obsession 102: EJU Minute 12 | It's Happened Before | New Jaws Documentary Jaws Explored |
Minute 12 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Utilizing prequel novel, The Book of Quint, we enhance our understanding of the film. Mayor Vaughn meets with Brody on the Amity Harbor Ferry. We put an end to the myth of the bumbling Jaws mayor and prove he is a calculated and experienced political opponent. Going line by line, we see Mayor Vaughn and reporter Harry Meadows are revealing more to the story. With the Book of Quint, it is very clear what is going on. "It's happened before." 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. A new documentary is in the making, and Host Ryan Dacko is on the advisory circle: Jaws Explored (www.jawsexplored.com) will be a documentary unlike any other Jaws documentary made over the years.

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.
