Description

This special first-ever bonus episode warns us that it's never safe to go in the water. Except when it is, which is most of the time. Because almost nothing about sharks in this movie is accurate, even though it was loosely based on true events. ...Oh hell, it's Jaws, we love it anyway!

The events that formed the basis for the tale happened off the coast of New Jersey in 1916 and were documented in the excellent non-fiction novel, Close to Shore: A True Story of Terror in an Age of Innocence by Michael Capuzzo https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/872971.Close_to_Shore
