This episode we go over the good and bad of shark movies. There are so many shark movies out there, more than any other animal by far.  We talk about the best shark movie and one of the best movies of all time, Jaws. And it's less than stellar sequels. Then we quickly go over other shark movies we have seen and I list the names of dozens of silly shark movies.
