| 9/12/25 | Episode 145: Jaws (the book) Chapters 6-7 | This week, Sarah and MJ talk about chapters 6 and 7 of Jaws by Peter Benchley. They spend their time lauding the sassy mail woman in charge of who gets a mailbox and who doesn't, and attend an interminable dinner party. | — | ||||||

| 7/4/25 | Episode 136: The Great Jaws Quiz (Live From Martha's Vineyard) | It's the first ever live and in person LJFAM!

Sarah and MJ are joined by The Nicest Man in Podcasting, Harley Mumford to talk about Jordan Peele's masterwork, NOPE.

| 5/23/25 | Episode 132: Tremors (mostly) | This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by Rob Wallis to discuss Tremors and nothing else out of the ordinary.

| 5/2/25 | Episode 130: Basic Instinct | This week, Sarah and MJ tackle a film that takes broad and abstract inspiration from Jaws: Basic Instinct. They wax poetic about erotic thrillers, Jerry Goldsmith, and their favorite topic, replacing one of the lead actors with Roy Scheider. | — | ||||||
| 3/21/25 | Episode 129: The Last Shark A.K.A. Great White A.K.A. L'ultimo Squalo | What would a season all about the films that were inspired by Jaws be without at least one shark movie? And what would an episode about a terrible shark movie be without our resident shark boi, Dr. Jack Cooper. Dr. Jack Cooper joins us to talk about The Last Shark, a 1981 Italian film that bears so many similarities to Jaws it was successfully barred from release in the United States by Universal. The movie's bad, but the goofs and gags are good! | — | ||||||
