One thing that was very clear from this movie is that Dr. Morgan absolutely picked the right career path to be a marine biologist. She had a HUGE joyous reaction to finding out that both dolphins had survived. That was about a minute after seeing her coworker Control Room Fred eaten alive in front of her not to mention seeing the body of FitzRoyce in the shark's mouth. I'd say her reaction to the baby shark dying was also a lot stronger than towards any human tragedy that happened. I definitely thought LGJ was the owner of the park not just the administrator. I am pretty sure one of the reporters at the start of the movie called him an eccentric entrepreneur. My absolute favorite part of the movie was when they added what sounded like a lion's roar for the shark.

Again, fast forward to Jaws 4... Michael has transitioned from a structural engineer to marine biologist; focusing on conchs in the Bahamas. So is it safe to assume that his trip to South America not only caused the demise of his relationship with Dr. Morgan, but also caused a mid-life career change? After being attacked twice in his life, I’m shocked Michael made this decision to follow a career that would put him into harm’s way. Maybe the break up drove him to have a death wish. Thoughts?

Paul mentioned the early 80s resurgence of 3D in the 80s. It started with Friday the 13th Part III (IN 3D!). Paul said the other big 3D movie he remembers seeing was Dreamscape. But Dreamscape wasn't a 3D movie, so I don't know what Paul saw in the theaters. There were a ton of 3D movies to chose from (Spacehunter, Metalstorm, Treasure of the Four Crowns), but I'm not sure how any of those could be confused with Dreamscape. Maybe Paul is conflating Jaws 3D scenes with Dreamscape because they both star Dennis Quad? Was this 3D version of Dreamscape preceded by an animated short of the Bernstein Bears? As for Jaws 3D, this was played a lot on cable when I was a kid (never saw it in the theater). I always thought it was cheesy and boring. But just a few years ago, I bought a 3D blu-ray of the movie and found it extremely entertaining. The bad composites and weird camera angles work great in 3D. The 3D actually hides the bad special effects, and in the restored movie, a lot of the beach shots are quite stunning in 3D. The movie knows it is a B-movie and has some of the most fun, intentionally gratuitous 3D effects you'll find in a movie. Most of the gags and composite shots (like the shark coming at the glass) look completely dumb in 2D, but in 3D they work. It's a great popcorn movie to watch with friends just to see who will jump at stuff coming at the screen. The opening titles alone will make most people duck. It's a guilty pleasure

I would love to see Jaws 3D in 3D. I saw Friday the 13th part 3 in 3D about 20 years ago at a midnight showing and it really made the movie super fun. It was before 3D got big again making it feel like a novelty and the audience was crazy into it. I know a lot of people say a good movie is a good movie whether it's 3D or not but Friday the 13th in 3D really made me love that movie when, before, I thought it was kind of dumb. I'd assume Jaws 3D would have a similar added fun. Edit to add: if you want a mediocre movie that's great in 3D. Watch The Walk if you ever get a chance. The last 20 minutes are truly an experience.

I started watching this last night, and haven’t listened to the episode yet, but you are 100% correct.

Hey all... sorry I haven’t posted in awhile So Paul mentioned how strange it was that Michael Brody (ie. Dennis Quaid) didn't call out that he's had issues with sharks in the past. No reference to Amnity, etc. But taking that a step further, I now have major annoyances with this character's reaction to a great white in Jaws 4. In the 4th film, Michael is pumped to follow and study a great white shark that is known to these waters. So you're telling me, after witnessing a man being eaten alive in front of you as a child (thus causing you to go into shock)... to then a great white killing co-workers and almost eating you multiple times... that when you find a 3rd GWS, you want to study it?! Fuuuuuhhhhhccckkkk You!!! Get eaten.

I have never been more in love with Jason then when he talked about his fanny pack and it's contents

Fun episode, but honestly the part I enjoyed the most was the discussion at the end about Jason's fanny pack. It was nice to hear just the three of them in studio joking around.

Reddit a-holes on /r/earwolf One of the buggers was so lazy he reblogged his previous Tom comment rather than make a new one:

Who are the 3 fans that made scharpling sad? Was it Ben folds three?

congrats on the thread robotam. really digging the vibe in this one

Ugh, just when I was actually starting to like this show. You can hear how I suffered through all this terrible podcasting in my new podcast, "How did this get podcasted?" coming soon to the Ear and animal (e.g. worm, wolf) podcast Empire nearest you! "Earworm... squish, the worm dead!"

July 21 live!

"Serenity now! Insanity later." - Lloyd Braun, if he watched this movie -- Probably,

Also ketchup and mayo? I legit gagged a bit when Paul said that.

I love how Paul has incorporated Cody and Devin into the mini-episodes. It’s nice to have their insight as well. Also, just like Paul I grew up with tomato/mayonnaise sandwiches. They are great. Tomatoes are delicious. However, I’m sorry Kraft, but I will never, ever, ever eat one of your weird hybrid flavors. First of all, I think it’s kind of lazy. What, I can’t be bothered to squeeze two different bottles? Get out of here with that shit! Americans need to be more active! And secondly, I’m not sure I trust your ratios. If you put too much ketchup or BBQ sauce or whatever your whole sandwich is gonna be totally fucked. There’s an art to condiments. You can’t just wing it! Also, Ranch is fucking disgusting. You think adding ketchup is going to somehow make that horror show edible? Get the fuck out of here...

This my favorite podcast! Scott, Lauren, and Paul are hilarious together. I haven't laughed harder listening to any other podcast than this one. Just wanted to show my love for the show. Peace & Love from Oregon.

Thank God Dunkirk beat this at the box office this weekend. Hail Nolan!

Even though I am in America I'm just letting you know I'm 100% still gonna use this reasoning when I have kids that wanna see shitty movies lol. "Sorry kids they're not releasing it in Texas. I don't know what to tell you." "But they said everywhere?" "Yeah well Texas always has to be Extra doesn't it?"

I've already told my children that due to copyright restrictions, this movie is not being released in Canada. They are suspicious because of all of the bus-side advertising, but so far I'm successfully convincing them that it's advertising aimed at Americans.

A blatant italian Star Wars Ripoff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcrash This amateurishly dubbed monstrosity features Caroline Munro in your standard issue leather space bikini, Christopher Plummer as the Emperor Of The Universe, David fucking Hasslehoff as the Emperor's son, and another perm-wearing man that pretends to be a robot with special powers (as demanded by the "plot") and an unreasonably upbeat personality. Somebody dies without sustaining any wounds (because, apparently, it is "their time", whatever that is supposed to mean), there is a crazy space battle in the end where golden dildos crash through the huge spaceship windows (!) and men jump out, the plot is terrible and makes very little sense, nobody's voices seem to have any connection with the person they supposedly come out of, and the whole thing could be avoided if sees-the-future would just borrow can-stop-time-spaceship and do the movie by himself. You have to see to believe.

This is pretty good trash. If I was drinking a bottle of wine tonight and had to pick between this and Gravity, I'd pick Starcrash. Can you believe John Barry (who did the scores for eleven James Bond films, among many others) composed the music for this? Or... Starcrash 2!
