Episode 30: 2-Headed Shark Attack (2013)

Episode 27: Jaws 4 The Revenge (1987)

Episode 27: Jaws 4 The Revenge (1987)

A movie with lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes.  A film so terrible it not only killed a shark, but also a franchise. SHARK WEEK MONTH begins with Adam and Tia examining the... experience that is Jaws 4 The Revenge. Is it as bad as everyone says?  Oh yes. However... this movie is also responsible for some good in Hollywood.  How, you ask?  See, that's called a teaser.
