Jaws was one of the most successful debut novels in history, and its film successor literally invented the summer blockbuster. So... how does this classic adaptation hold up? Was the book the better work, despite the continued fame of the film?

As the book celebrates 50 years (we all threw up a little when we read that), the family discusses our thoughts on the incredible quality of the film after so many decades and why we, like Peter Benchley, were definitely rooting for the shark during our read.

Featuring hosts Tim Haynes, Donna Haynes, Rebekah Edwards, and T. Josiah Haynes
