We're back with a new season and maybe the craziest film of the series. In the wake of Jaws 2, the producers decided to mix it up by jumping on the 80s 3D bandwagon. But going with Dennis Quaid and throwing things at the audience wasn't the original way they wanted to shake up the status quo. Halstead and Eric dig up the crazy story and answer the real questions, like:

• What if instead of 3D horror shlock, we got National Lampoon comedy shlock?
• What happens when a 70s horror comedy maestro meets the father of 80s teen comedies?
• How is one unmade film at ground zero for the birth of the Hollywood Blockbuster Era?

The answer to these questions and so many more can be found in this episode of The Inflection Cut! Show notes

The team closes out season two of The Infection Cut with another Infection Game - a lightning round, this time focused on casting what-ifs. From a very different Raiders of the Lost Ark to a couple of wild James Bond takes, Halstead and Eric look at some fascinating films that almost were. As always, it's about the burning questions that affect the everyman:

• Is the Bond franchise without Sean Connery at launch a positive?
• What caused an entire film crew to call out Brad Pitt in a full-page letter in Variety?
• Is Harrison Ford without Indiana Jones still a star?

While you wait for our (post?) holiday special, here's a little bonus special feature for you - a discussion we had while making the Peter Berg's Dune episode about the other versions of Dune that almost got made or did (kinda) get made. If you haven't listened to that episode, we recommend that you do so before listening to this. But hey, do what you want - we're not the boss of you. Enjoy, and we'll be back soon!
