🎙 Lights Out: Jaws 2 Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as they step out of the '80s and into deep waters for a no-rules "Lights Out Match" covering the blockbuster sequel Jaws 2 (1978).

In this episode, the boys dive into the troubled production history behind the sequel to Steven Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece. Learn why Spielberg refused to return, why Roy Scheider didn't want to come back (but did anyway), and how behind-the-scenes drama nearly sank the film before it hit theaters.

We also explore:

  • The firing of original director John Hancock and the hiring of Jeannot Szwarc

  • Roy Scheider's on-set clashes, especially his infamous feud with Szwarc

  • How the town of Martha’s Vineyard didn’t welcome Jaws 2 like they did the original

  • A new wave of teenage victims, waterski stunts, and that iconic “shark attack at sea” energy

  • Chief Brody slowly unraveling as the town questions his sanity… is it PTSD or is the shark really back?

From exploding boats to electric shark deaths, we break down all the big moments—and whether this sequel holds a candle to the original.

🦈 If you're a fan of killer shark movies, '70s horror sequels, or just want to hear how Brody turns into the Loomis of the ocean, this episode is for you!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
