🎙 Lights Out: Jaws 2
Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as they step out of the '80s and into deep waters for a no-rules "Lights Out Match" covering the blockbuster sequel Jaws 2 (1978).
In this episode, the boys dive into the troubled production history behind the sequel to Steven Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece. Learn why Spielberg refused to return, why Roy Scheider didn't want to come back (but did anyway), and how behind-the-scenes drama nearly sank the film before it hit theaters.
We also explore:
The firing of original director John Hancock and the hiring of Jeannot Szwarc
Roy Scheider's on-set clashes, especially his infamous feud with Szwarc
How the town of Martha’s Vineyard didn’t welcome Jaws 2 like they did the original
A new wave of teenage victims, waterski stunts, and that iconic “shark attack at sea” energy
Chief Brody slowly unraveling as the town questions his sanity… is it PTSD or is the shark really back?
From exploding boats to electric shark deaths, we break down all the big moments—and whether this sequel holds a candle to the original.
🦈 If you're a fan of killer shark movies, '70s horror sequels, or just want to hear how Brody turns into the Loomis of the ocean, this episode is for you!
