Lovecraft), and Phillip Kelly (Fanbase Press Contributor, co-host – POPSKL Podcast Group) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding Jaws (1975) in light of the feature film’s 50th anniversary, with topics including how the film reflects the nation’s post-Vietnam anxiety, what makes Quint’s USS Indianapolis speech so iconic, if Jaws has reached a mythic status in American pop culture, and more.
