    From Speakeasy’s Podcast:

    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,

    [Deputy with signs] This is you. [laughter] … He looks so thrilled—doesn’t he?—by his purchases. [laughter] I tell you what: he looks like he won a competition to be in a movie. — Speakeasy,

    If … I said, ‘Look, we’ve got a serious shark problem. … Wouldn’t you take that on board? Are we specifically talking about you telling me this? [laughter] … That is the kind of joke I would play on you. — 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,
