Fearless Films
Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies.
Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies, and they continue the tradition of explaining the scariest stories to all the scaredy cats out there, so they don't have to watch the movies.

219 - Jaws 2
Just when you thought October was safe again... it's another franchise!!
This year, Pete is hunting for the sequels to one of the greatest movies of all time, Jaws! Somehow, this cinema classic got not only one, but three sequels. And one of them is even a requel, starting well before Halloween made that its defining feature.
Jaws 2, from 1978, is a mix of the classic Jaws formula and the then-budding slasher genre. This one features a ton of teenagers stranded in a remote location getting picked off one by one. And this time, the vengeful shark even has a horribly scarred face like all the slasher greats.
The Brody family returns from the first film, as does the slimy mayor of Amity. Somehow, the local government STILL does not take Chief Brody seriously when he cries shark. However, no Quint and no Hooper means this movie only has a third of the charm as its predecessor.
Join us as we discuss new shark lore, how explosive a water ski can be, the comfortability of love-making in a boat, and whether fish can truly seek revenge.
Grab your life preserver, load your harpoon gun, and most importantly, don't get too scared!
