Geek Mentality is the home of "Fans Not Experts Movie Month," "Marchy McFly", "Big Screen Batman," "Sitcom All Ye Faithful", "JAWGUST." and "Silverscreen Superman." Basically I like doing miniseries within this show. You can also check out my other podcasts, "Stranger Danger," "Mandalorian Man," "Reaction Comics," "SLASH", and "Fine Movies. Fine Spirits." all available at FansNotExperts.com
Just when you thought it was safe to go listen to another podcast...JAWGUST 2 (https://fansnotexperts.com/category/geekmentality/jawgust/jawgust2/) may be officially done - but I am here with one more bonus episode ready to talk about JAWS 2 - just not the movie! I talk about various JAWS 2 related merchandise, some of which came out to coincide with the movie - others of which came out years later.
I also discuss the passing of the great Murray Hamilton (https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/17/obituaries/murray-hamilton-a-character-actor-for-over-40-years.html) - 40 years ago today.
JAWGUST WILL RETURN!!!!

JAWGUST 2: “Open Wide! Say Ah!!” (31 of 31)
All good things come to an end. And also so do month long podcasts about JAWS 2. Here we are on the final day of JAWGUST 2 (https://fansnotexperts.com/category/geekmentality/jawgust/jawgust2/) 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 all the end credits (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077766/fullcredits/). 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, there might have been a shark attack in Martha's Vineyard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJEZCU-wsQ)? The JAWGUST Gods are cruel sometimes!
Thank you again everyone - JAWGUST 2 has been fun as well. So let's do it again next year, shall we? Let's bring JAWGUST...Into the THIRD DIMENSION!

JAWGUST 2: “Oh, My God, No! No!!!” (30 of 31)
Happy Sunday, Sharkys! Today is the 2nd last day of JAWGUST 2 (https://fansnotexperts.com/category/geekmentality/jawgust/jawgust2/) 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'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 one of the kids was supposed to die (https://thedailyjaws.com/blog/jaws-2-the-incredible-ideas-that-didnt-have-enough-bite), 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's worse is there is no footage out there that I know of!
One more day, everybody! ONE. MORE. DAY!
