It’s the month of Halloween and studios are delivering some of their spookiest titles n physical media. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to talk you into a pair of the greatest horror endings of all-time. Speaking of which you can now pick and choose your Universal horror classics in 4K alongside another sci-fi film from the next era. They discuss what they think could be the best film in one franchise and, arguably, the last tolerable one in another. A “cable classic” gets the 4K treatment as does a Best Picture winner celebrating your 50^th anniversary that will cleanse your palette after a week full of gore and frights.

Hello, join me as I talk about the 1975 classic Jaws. Jaws is about a giant great white shark who attacks swimmers on Amity Island beaches. After the shark goes after the police chief's eldest son Michael, Brody enlists the help of oceanographer Matt Hooper and also the maniacal shark hunter Quint. Once they head out to sea to find the monster shark only to find out that maybe just maybe they will need a bigger boat. After Quint shoots at it with a harpoon-like gun which has a marker or barrel attached to it so that the shark won't be able to hide under the water. But the shark defies the barrel and disappears and the men later drink and talk about scares but what shocks everyone is Quint's story about the secret mission of the USS Indianapolis. Later after the shark takes out the power the boat floods a bit which later affects the motor of the boat. Seeing no alternative after the shark pulls out the cleats with a rope attached to it. the men later construct Hooper's shark cage only for Hooper to later have to swim away after the shark attacks the cage. Quint is later killed by the shark and Brody jams a tank in its mouth and later blows the shark up. Hooper shown to have survived his encounter with the shark asks Brody about Quint. To which Brody says no. The men then Swim to shore and the movie ends.

and hope you enjoy

We linked up with the Thor's Hour of Thunder crew to FINALLY get Scarlet Witch to watch Jaws. Mission Accomplished. Now, did she like it?

“She is a disturbing child.” It doesn’t reach the heights of his USS Indianapolis monologue in Jaws, but Robert Shaw delivers this line with grim resignation. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they check out A Reflection of Fear (1972), a relatively unknown film starring Sondra Locke, Robert Shaw, and Sally Kellerman.

A disturbed young girl starts believing that there is something very sinister at work after her estranged father visits her at her mother and grandmother’s house with the woman he plans to marry.

Doc chose A Reflection of Fear for the Jaws connection delivered by Robert Shaw in his starring role. He admits it’s kind of a stupid movie but he still enjoyed it for its 70s flavor. There are a few creepy elements present and he really likes Shaw’s and Sondra Locke’s performances.

Chad took one look at the cast and thought A Reflection of Fear would be a great movie, but instead, he is very bored with it all. Even though he loves Shaw and Locke in it, and yes, there were some creepy parts, he was expecting a whole lot more than a predictable twist. A Reflection of Fear got under Bill’s skin a little, but the two twists really date the movie. He thinks Sondra Locke is a perfect choice for her role and that Robert Shaw is terrific but there just isn’t enough there to maintain interest. Jeff doesn’t buy Sondra Locke as the teenager she is playing and points out some huge continuity jumps in a couple of the film’s edits. He enjoyed Sally Kellerman’s and Mitchell Ryan’s performances the most, but not enough to become a fan of A Reflection of Fear.

Your 1970s Grue Crew has a fairly lukewarm reaction to A Reflection of Fear, but if you are so inclined, it is available for viewing. At the time of this writing, the movie can be streamed from Tubi.

Richard and Eric take a look at an article about the late Robert Shaw composed in 2006 by Peter Phillips (conductor of the Tallis Scholars) entitled "The Cult of the Conductor".  Phillips briefly analyzes the methodology of Shaw as well as the choral outcomes that arise from such (perceived) methods.  Though they discuss the article in full, the guys primarily focus on Phillips's title and premise.  Is there such a thing that can be seen as a "cult of the conductor," and what could that possibly look like?  A lot of wonderful choral insights here, woven around two preeminent, contemporary choral conductors.

Phillips, P. "The Cult of the Conductor." Sacred Music. Fall 2006, Volume 133, No. 3, pp. 6-9.

The Ensign Symphony and Chorus performs "And Then Shall Your Light Break Forth" from Mendelssohn's Elijah (October 2018); conductors Steve Danielson and Chase Chang.
