In an impromptu (and very late night) edition of the Speakeasy DR and Lynch take on the Spielberg classic Jaws. It’s been a while since they’ve seen this but the memories keep flooding back and one of the first horror movies either of them had any seen. There are a few surprises along the way (particularly some musical choices) but join the crew as they enjoy one of the most famous movies of all time.
[Re: reading the book after foot surgery] I hear actually that the book is actually quite boring. At the time, as a ten-year-old child who couldn’t walk and was reading something about boobs, it was quite fascinating.— Speakeasy,

This is the Aurora … This is the boat that made me want to be a marine biologist. … And then I found out it’s actually his family that paid for this boat. I thought marine biologists were just given these boats.— Speakeasy,

He could go, ‘Okay, I may not have retrieved the tooth, but this is the head of the person [killed by] the tooth.’ [laughter] … They would have paid a lot more attention to him.— Speakeasy,

[scar comparison] I’ve got a funny feeling that when the dementia kicks in for the both of us, this is the kind of conversation we’ll be having. Yeah, it will be. Completely fictional. [laughter] ‘See this? Monkey knife fight.’— Speakeasy,

Holy crap those were really short credits. That’s the ’70s, man. Yeah. Clearly, there was only about half a dozen people involved in that whole movie.— Speakeasy,
