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.

Minute 9 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Utilizing prequel novel, The Book of Quint, we enhance our understanding of the film. So much can be discovered into Brody's character by observing the facts left on screen in this 9th minute of Jaws. For decades, it was disregarded as a production continuity error, but actually a key piece of evidence showing a larger story in the background. This episode took 3 years and two prior episodes to reach a final conclusion to the dates Brody is typing into his report on Chrissie Watkins. A new understanding has been reached by discovering more to the story. Also, we discover published proof: Steven Spielberg pitched his idea for Jaws 2 as a Jaws prequel around the USS Indianapolis back in 1977. This proves The Book of Quint is aligned with Spielberg's original vision 49 years ago.
