“Overman was killed inside the park. The baby was caught inside the park. Its mother is inside the park.” We watched “Jaws 3-D” with our friends, the Dames of Doom themselves, Nicole and Tess from Doom Generation Podcast, and we're cancelling our Sea World annual passes! We'd like to think there is some sort of continuity to the first two Jaws films, but the Brody brothers have been aged up faster than a baby on a soap opera. Dennis Quaid steps in as the eldest Brody bro, and he's the head of attraction maintenance (or something) at Sea World Orlando, and he is VERY hot and heavy with the main marine biologist and animal trainer played by none other than Bess Armstrong (yes, the mom from My So-Called Life). Somehow, a mother great white shark is trapped in the park, and mama and baby are wreaking havoc. Younger Brody bro is afraid of the water (rightfully), but Lea Thompson and her sexy waterskiing wiles lure him in on several, many occasions. At some point, this turns more into a disaster movie than your average Jaws “thriller,” but the real-life Sea World setting makes the trapped tourists trope fun.  The 3D gags are pretty much an afterthought, but this movie is HIGH CAMP.  Big mama shark ramming headfirst into an undersea restaurant is Cinema! Listen, animal rights are a very real issue, and we're not advocating for Sea World, but the trained dolphins giving us a perfect freeze-frame ending worthy of a Lisa Frank notebook is epic.

The first ever triple-bill episode, as voted for by Patrons of this podcast for Sequeltember, on the history and legacy of Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D & Jaws: The Revenge ! The sequels to the previous episode on Jaws. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water. JAWS 2 was wanted pretty much immediately after the success of Jaws, but Steven Spielberg wasn't interested in reprising his directorial role. The director they did find, John D. Hancock, was fired after a month, and the production had already spent huge amounts of time and money. Once Jeannot Szwarc came on board, tensions with star Roy Scheider would escalate. Not that Scheider wanted to come back...JAWS 3-D. The third dimension is terror, but it wasn't always terror. Famously, Jaws 3 started life as a National Lampoon spoof, called Jaws 3 People 0, to be directed by Joe Dante, and co-written by John Hughes. When Universal quashed that idea, it was decided to capitalise on the rise of threequels with 3D, to give Jaws 3 the edge. Jaws 3-D would be filmed at SeaWorld Orlando, and would be the first 3-D film to use ArriVision, but the increased costs meant cutting back on visual effects... JAWS: THE REVENGE. This time, it's personal. Or at least it was for Sid Sheinberg. Universal desperately needed a financial boost after a string of box office disappointments in 1986, and he decided to revive the Jaws franchise one final time. He would give director Joseph Sargent complete creative control, and Sheinberg's wife Lorraine Gary would come out of retirement to reprise her role as grieving widow Ellen Brody, in return for an effects-heavy shark movie to be released in just nine months time. It would be set in the Bahamas, feature triple Oscar-nominee Michael Caine, and have its ending changed after its US release. Trigger warning for this part of the episode for the tragic story of child actor Judith Barsi, which references child abuse and murder. I would love to hear your thoughts on Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D & Jaws: The Revenge !CONTACT....

Behind the Thrills: Inside Coaster Maintenance and Safety The thrill of experiencing rides is based on the trust that comes from knowing that every park's maintenance team works diligently to keep each ride safe for all riders. When a ride or attraction has an incident, it's sure to get a lot of negative attention. The less visible side of maintenance is the number of hours and the attention to detail that every park spends maintaining their most precious commodity: the safety of their park visitors. Today, co-host John Davidson talks to Will Meldrum-Thush a Mechanical Engineer at Roush Entertainment Systems about the important work his team does to keep their rides safe for all guests to enjoy. Listen carefully for a pro tip about getting out of a B&M hyper coaster's train!
