"I'd award [the shark] an assist... I do not watch a Jaws film to have people NOT killed by sharks"-Paul on the inefficient shark in this film.

"More of the same, just sh*tter"-Sean on the Jaws sequels.

Paul from History Rage returns to join Sean, and they begrudgingly continue their journey through the Jaws film franchise.

Brace Yourselves, it's Jaws 2 (1978).
