1980s Shark Documentary.

In honor of the just-dropped episode of The Purple Stuff Podcast, I’m gonna borrow the show’s theme for tonight’s video. Get ready for SHARKS!

There are a billion shark documentaries on YouTube, but this one is soooo ‘80s. It was apparently released on video, but it’s exactly like the shark docs I grew up devouring on television.

You’ll notice a marked contrast between this and today’s documentaries, which so often over-inflate the “drama” to make for more exciting programming. (Heck, even Shark Week gets criticized nowadays for trading science for sensationalism.)

I get why that shift had to happen, but it’s still nice to see an old school doc that’s pretty much all business. In 4×3, no less! Pass me the Pizzaria chips and my Gobots sleeping bag.
