This month's JAWS50 takes us into a movie starring Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws) and Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween).
Some super bad guys, make these people dive down for some stuff, but there's sharks in the way, and then...wait, haven't we done this before?

THIS EPISODE IS CURSED!
This was recorded some time ago, and never released because I thought it was bad. Turns out I was just sick and wasn't as bad as I thought. Even editing it for this release, I was sick. But here it finally is!
A gangster loses a shipment of gold, and hires a crew of divers in 1940's Australia. And the guess what? Yeah, a shark comes and ruins everyone's day.

Spooky Sharktober has come to an end!
This week, I asked BAD MOVIES WORSE PEOPLE to join me, and finish a journey we started ages ago, and finish this franchise off.
This sequel comes TEN YEARS after the original! How does it hold up? And does it answer those burning questions we had from the first one?
Tune in now to find out!

Week 3 of SPOOKY SHARKTOBER
This week I look into one of the entries for the CAMP BLOOD franchise, CAMP BLOOD: CLOWN SHARK (2024) directed by our favourites, Mark Polonia and Jeff Kirkendall.
When a killer clown is put down, months later he returns as a clown fish (not to be confused with a clownfish) and later, the titular CLOWN SHARK!
So how does this one stack up to the rest this month? Tune in now to find out

SPOOKY SHARKTOBER episode 2 is here!
This week I look at a sequel to one of my favourite movies from the first year of the podcast. OUIJA SHARK 2 finds us mere months after the first one, and this time we've got singing demons, ghost shark AND a Tarot Gator! Oh, and even a cameo from Bucket of Chum theme song creator MIKE TREBILCOCK!
Get the planchette ready, and let me tell you the tale of the shark vs the gator.

SPOOKY SHARKTOBER STARTS NOW!
I'm kicking this month off with a Polonia Brother's Shark take on The Mummy! MUMMY SHARK (2024) finds a group of researchers and government employees digging up the past, that was better left buried and forgotten. The Polonia's have given us SHARKULA and SHARKENSTEIN for the Halloween season, and now we have this. How does it hold up against the others? Listen now to find out.

OCTOPUS AUGUST CONTINUES
This week I dive in to the sequel (?) of last week's movie and check out OCTOPUS 2: RIVER OF FEAR (2001).
In this installment we head to New York City where people are mysteriously disappearing, and it's up to a hard headed detective to convince everyone a giant sea monster is responsible. It's like Alligator or Jaws, but with an octopus.
Does this movie deliver? Or does it disappoint like last wee...
Octopus August starts now!
I kick off the month with, OCTOPUS (2000). A movie that doesn't know whether it's a creature feature, spy thriller or something else. But don't worry, they manage to get in a sneaky JAWS reference that I didn't even notice at first!
Tune in now to kick off a month of squirmy slimy tentacle fun!

Peter Benchley's novel JAWS was adapted into one of the greatest movies ever put to film. But this wasn't the only time he dipped his toes into the world of aquatic horror. He's written a few novels in the aquatic horror world, and one of those was CREATURE.
Featuring some of the best practical shark monster effects ever, this 1998 TV movie doesn't get the attention it deserves. So to celebrate 50 Years of Jaws, I am releasing this ...
MONTH OF ACTION continues this week with Halle Berry's 2012 action adventure shark movie DARK TIDE! Directed by John Stockwell (Into The Blue, Blue Crush)
A rich douche takes his son for an adventure he doesn't want to go on, and shit goes sideways. It's like the Titan Sub story but with sharks.
Check out the MONTH OF ACTION participants
Month of Action Continues this week with the true story of the USS Indianapolis. Stuck at sea for 5 days, and no one coming to the rescue as they're picked off by sharks because the government and military suck. Also, it's directed by Mario Van Peebles!
Luckily I don't have to endure it alone, as Derrick from Bad Movies Worse People joins me to dive into this story mentioned by Quint in JAWS.

It's finally here. I and a slew of other podcaster are celebrating the MONTH OF ACTION!
B-Action and Gimme Back My Action and Horror Movies have recruited us all to a month of non-stop heart pounding action movies.
I kick it off with a film from Canadian filmmaker Brett Kelly, KAIJU GLAM METAL SHARK ATTACK.
So strap your asses in and pucker up those holes for Kaiju action, and stay tuned to the rest of the month for more.

With the amount of butthurt about JAWS reviews from last week's episode on either end of the spectrum, I thought I'd make things fair and read some stellar 5 Star (and some 1 Star) reviews of 1995's Jaws knockoff spectacular CRUEL JAWS a.k.a. JAWS 5
What did you think of the movie? Let me know in the comments!

JAWS is celebrating 50 years since it came out, and while there's those of us that LOVE the movie, what about the people who don't (and are wrong for it)?
Well this week, we dive deep into the 1 star reviews on Letterboxd, iMDB and more, and see what nonsense people have to say.

Week 3 of GRIZZLY MAY!
This week I dig my incy tincy finger nails into 1977's CLAWS! A JAWS knockoff this is not! It's not even a GRIZZLY knockoff. Although marketed as a GRIZZLY sequel in Canada and Mexico, this movie stands tall on it's own, and all I'm wondering is, where is the blu ray for this?
Watch the movie here.

GRIZZLY MAY continues with director William Girdler's follow up to GRIZZLY (1976), DAY OF THE ANIMALS (1977)!
Starring Leslie Nielson, Christopher George and Richard Jaeckel, the ozone layer is fubar, and the animals get infected, for reasons that are still unclear...
But Leslie Nielson fights a bear, so how bad can it be?

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
