The Rewatchables Take on Jaws 2
Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey dive back into the waters of Jaws 2, starring Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, and Murray Hamilton, to chart how this 1978 sequel helped kick off Hollywood’s obsession with franchise follow-ups. They unpack the film’s highs and lows, dissect its most rewatchable moment (30:23), and debate its place in cinematic history.
Along the way, they slot Jaws 2 into their signature categories (41:13), sprinkle in some behind-the-scenes tidbits, and tease what makes it still scary today. This episode, produced by Craig Horlbeck, Ronak Nair, and Jack Sanders, is sponsored by Holiday Inn and State Farm—because even shark hunters need a good travel deal and solid coverage.
