It’s Shark Week on SOSS and Amy is prepared to punch some sharks in the nose. We kick it off with dolphin PR vs. Shark PR. Maya reviews the new Netflix shark movie Under Paris featuring a nuts mayor, a beautiful scientist, and a hot cop. So many questions are asked. Why is there always a beautiful scientist in these movies? Are hammerheads incapable of attacking you because of their weird heads? The ladies analyze Gen X’s obsession with Jaws. Deep Blue Sea is next up on the shark movie review list featuring the LL Cool J hit “My Hat is Like a Shark’s Fin”. Why is it like a shark’s fin? Why?  Long time listener, first time caller! Maya’s sister Melissa is this week’s special guest. Melissa recounts wanting to be a marine biologist as a child until Jaws ruined that dream. She is traumatized by dark water to this day but also somehow still loves the movie Jaws. This movie really affected her. The episode takes a Killer Whale turn.  Melissa tells the story of her husband swimming with Orcas. Did you know the River Thames is home to five species of sharks? Maya remembers trying to swim with Whale Sharks. The episode takes another turn toward monkeys. Melissa feels like Sharknado jumped the shark. Amy and Maya love it because their bestie Ian Ziering stars.  We learned so much this week, but most of all we learned we owe it all to Jaws.
