Episode 5 - An Island Full of Karens
Let's Jaws For a Minute
10/23/20 • 58 min
This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by fellow film critic Dan Barnes to talk about the aftermath of Chrissie's body being found on the beach. They also get their first introduction to the inhabitants of Amity Island and all their first world problems. Also, the shark cuffs are back (obviously)!
NOTE: MJ didn't check his settings for recording thoroughly and ended up recording this episode using his on board microphone on his laptop. As such, the audio sync is off and it sounds like he interrupts people kind of a lot. It also sounds like he's broadcasting from the wreckage of Ben Gardner's boat. Neither of these things was intentional.

This week, Sarah and MJ guide you through our first encounter with the everyman hero of the film, Chief Martin Brody. They talk about how the script expertly sets up his backstory and the sense of foreboding that comes along with the audience having prior knowledge about what's in store for his work day. Also, they find a lot of significance surrounding Michael Brody's injury and discover that the broken swingset is a metaphor for things to come!
