## Resource

It is the movie that has probably affected more people on a deep, psychological level than any other film in history. Two chords, and you know exactly what is coming. Two chords, and you think about the monster and what it could do to you in the water. Even a glance at the poster sticks with you your whole life—because great white sharks actually exist, and yes, sometimes they eat people. It is almost impossible to do justice to the greatness of a film that spawned three sequels, launched the careers of arguably the greatest movie director and film composer of all time, saturated popular culture with knock-offs and parodies, and single-handedly created the summer blockbuster. Jaws (1975) is one of the greatest movies of all time. But it's also one of the scariest. Not in a supernatural jump-scare way, a knife-wielding maniac way, or a cosmic or existential way like so many of the films we talk about on TSSP... but in the simple, all-too-real way that scares millions of people out of the water to this day. It remains a timeless masterpiece with a terrifyingly simple premise: A shark... a really big shark... is eating people. Not fish. Not seals. People. And none of us are safe in this apex predator's domain. Join Slinky, Erin, and Mike as we sit down to talk about how great this movie is... and why it's still scary over fifty years since it changed movies forever.
