James Earl Jones carries fifteen minutes of plot through what feels life fifteen hours of film, as Robert Shaw fails to pick an accent and Anjelica Huston earns a paycheck (oh, and Peter Boyle splashes around too) in this part of the SINK-OR-SWIM SUMMER TOUR.

It's lucky number thirteen as the team starts on their SINK-OR-SWIM SUMMER TOUR -- the journey of three men into the ever-waiting Jaws! And what better way to start a trip to a movie about hunting a shark for revenge, than with a movie about hunting a shark for revenge -- where Bill Murray channels his inner Bill Murray, and Jeff Goldblum reminds us why he'll always be the Internet's Pinup Daddy! Tom gets it right; Josh and Dan get a surprise; the team remembers Dan!

Connection from Previous Film: Clancy Brown A well-needed pallet-cleanser after the bile sandwich that was Pathfinder! Future-marines journey into space to fight bugs and find the anti-fascist satire that keeps going over everyone's heads.
