Join AC and his awesome panel of guests (Jon Kitley, Larry Sternshein, Kevin Matthews) as they dish with the fish, discussing this fantastic documentary that chronicles and analyzes filmgoers' fascination with seeing our favorite fin-and-fanged antagonists terrorizing the masses. A wave of talking heads ranging from marine biologists to schlockmeisters dole out the commentary, with an abundance of classic clips and quips. Great fun.

Cruel Jaws (1995) d. Bruno Mattei (as William Snyder) (Italy) (93 min) (1st viewing)

Released in some countries as Jaws 5, this decades-late Italian copycat doesn’t even bother to shoot any original shark menace footage for its action scenes. Instead, it nabs footage from countrymen Joe D’Amato (Deep Blood) and Enzo G. Castellari (The Last Shark), as well as going right to Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic well itself for underwater swimming and munching footage. But that’s not all director Mattei (Robowar, Night Killer, The Other Hell) “borrows” – there are direct character and plot references to Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3, as well as the regatta race from The Last Shark.
