James Kline and J.H. Alison kick off a brand-new theme for July 2025: 1980s Shark Horror—and what better way to start than with the wild ride that is Jaws 3D!
This week, the boys take a deep dive into the third entry in the legendary Jaws franchise—a movie packed with floating fish heads, slow-motion shark attacks, awkward 3D effects, and the return of the Brody boys (this time in SeaWorld, of all places).
🦈 In this episode:
-
Quick thoughts on the film’s legacy, its infamous 3D gimmicks, and the unintended campy charm.
-
History Segment (July 22, 1983): 🎸 Metal: Alison breaks down Manowar’s sword-swinging, fantasy-filled album Into Glory Ride. 🤼♂️ Wrestling: James highlights Ric Flair vs. Harley Race and the wrestling scene heating up that summer.
-
Behind the Scenes:
-
Director Joe Alves steps in after working on the production design of the first two Jaws films.
-
Why producers originally wanted to make a spoof sequel: Jaws 3, People 0.
-
The switch to SeaWorld and how it shaped the movie’s direction.
-
Richard Matheson (writer of the original Jaws) disowning the film.
-
Dennis Quaid’s wild performance and rumors of cocaine-fueled filming.
-
Roy Scheider’s hilarious refusal to return, calling this movie “a joke.”
-
Then, the full review dives into exploding underwater tunnels, giant mama sharks, weird character subplots, and why this 3D disaster is still a blast to watch today—especially with a cold one and some good company.
