Welcome to a very special Legacy Cast! Today Matt and Mike talk about Jaws in honor of the Discovery Channel’s 30th annual Shark Week!! Jaws is one of Mike’s favorite movies of all time, but he is bias due to his love of sharks. Matt lets Mike take the lead on this episode but asks him a lot of fun interesting questions. The boys also discuss the differences between a horror movie and a thriller at least in their eyes. There is lots of fun trivia discussed including the name of the Jaws prop shark and its relation to Finding Nemo. Lastly was Mike able to keep the Marvel Cinematic Universe streak alive even with a movie made in 1975?
I am not sure we even need to tell you our ratings for Jaws, but we are going to anyways. Mike loves Jaws without a question. It is probably his second most watch film. He hands out his second perfect score with a 5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also loves Jaws a lot, but he can’t get over how the shark looks. Clearly, he has been spoiled with the recent developments in digital and practical effects. Matt still loves the film and gives it a very respectable 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Basically, if you have not seen Jaws you need to go watch it, NOW!

Storyline from IMDB
It’s a hot summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is its beaches. When new Sheriff Martin Brody discovers the remains of a shark attack victim, his first inclination is to close the beaches to swimmers. This doesn’t sit well with Mayor Larry Vaughn and several of the local businessmen. Brody backs down to his regret as that weekend a young boy is killed by the predator. The dead boy’s mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they’re going to need a bigger boat.
