Here we are on the final day of <a href="https://fansnotexperts.com/category/geekmentality/jawgust/jawgust2/" rel="nofollow">JAWGUST 2</a> and all I can say is - thank you to everyone who reached out, who sent comments, to Eric and Chris for joining the show - and to everyone who listened!!Of course I go through the final moments of JAWS 2, including <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077766/fullcredits/" rel="nofollow">all the end credits</a>. I also take one last look back at the entire story of JAWS 2, in the only way I know how.Plus, I found out that perhaps today, the final day of JAWGUST 2,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJEZCU-wsQ" rel="nofollow"> there might have been a shark attack in Martha&#39;s Vineyard</a>? The JAWGUST Gods are cruel sometimes!Thank you again everyone - JAWGUST 2 has been fun as well. So let&#39;s do it again next year, shall we? Let&#39;s bring JAWGUST...Into the THIRD DIMENSION!

Today is the 2nd last day of <a href="https://fansnotexperts.com/category/geekmentality/jawgust/jawgust2/" rel="nofollow">JAWGUST 2</a> and I was ready to see our hero shark finally get a taste of this wicked, villainous teens! And it would have if that disgraced former police chief - the one who showed up in the stolen police boat - hadn&#39;t distracted the shark by playing a wicked beat on a giant cable.Everybody knows sharks have no way of fighting off the power of dance when a good beat is playing. And Martin Brody is the best in the biz.So while I was ready to see at least one more teenage appetizer, I did find out that <a href="https://thedailyjaws.com/blog/jaws-2-the-incredible-ideas-that-didnt-have-enough-bite" rel="nofollow">one of the kids was supposed to die</a>, but it was a little too graphic so they decided to scrap it. Probably a good idea to avoid that R rating - but terrible for a podcast 48 years later.And what&#39;s worse is there is no footage out there that I know of!One more day, everybody! ONE. MORE. DAY!

Today on <a href="https://fansnotexperts.com/category/geekmentality/jawgust/jawgust2/" rel="nofollow">JAWGUST 2</a>, we do get a shark - but still not a lot happens. This is not a last minute opinion of mine as I show proof that I have been thinking this about these 220 seconds of JAWS 2 since very early this morning.

And to make matters worse - my long time friend, JAWS super fan and fellow podcaster <a href="https://fansnotexperts.com/tag/chris-joins-geek-mentality/" rel="nofollow">Chris joins the show</a> for the fourteenth time! I have a special guest joining me and THIS is the segment we get to talk about?I almost want to issue him a refund for the guest-appearance fee he paid me. Almost.The good news is Chris IS a super fan of JAWS and most definitely not a super fan of JAWS 2. And with guests, we talk about anything that has to do with the movie, not just this boring 220 seconds of film.And, check out the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQLub_f_QZ8" rel="nofollow">episode of The Rewatchables</a> that we talk about as well.

This episode was edited and put together a little differently tonight but hopefully it sounds close enough!Besides the 3 minutes and 40 seconds, I also <a href="https://hbo-archives.fandom.com/wiki/Jaws_2" rel="nofollow">talk little bit about HBO</a> and I also ponder, what if Roy Schneider didn&#39;t have any artistic integrity - and wanted to play Brody...Forever!

That might be a good thing, because a lot of these Amity lifers aren&#39;t worth the hand they raise to fire good, hard-working, ruggedly handsome police officers.Today, we start to get an idea of how Mike Brody and his fellow teen...chums (pause for applause) might figure into the rest of the movie. And we learn that Len Peterson thinks it&#39;s a good idea to put the safety of people of Amity into the hands of a fellow Len (Hendricks).Plus I talk about a video game that is seen during a bar scene - and yes, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Race_(1976_video_game)" rel="nofollow">I did edit the Wikipedia page</a> to include that it was featured in JAWS 2.And I discuss <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p57aQGA4aHY" rel="nofollow">this deleted scene</a>, posted on YouTube thanks to the <a href="https://thedailyjaws.com/" rel="nofollow">Daily Jaws</a>.
