Summer is officially here—and that means it’s time to kick off pool season with two aquatic horror heavyweights: Jaws and Piranha. In this supersized episode, we wade into the deep waters of Spielberg’s blockbuster classic and Joe Dante’s schlocky, subversive B-movie to ask: What really lurks beneath the surface?
From the birth of the summer blockbuster to genre-blending brilliance, we break down what makes these films endure—yes, even Piranha. We tackle legacy, trauma, salty fishermen, scream queens, and why masculinity always seems to need a boat. You’ll hear our takes on the iconic Shaw/Dreyfuss dynamic, behind-the-scenes trivia, cold-water resistance, and... the swimming pig at Aquarena Springs. (Yes, that’s real.)
Grab your sunscreen and dive in—we’re celebrating beach season the only way we know how: with blood, guts, and some killer monologues.
