It's Friday, so allow us to get a little weird. Back in 2011, Balena Productions created Sonic in JAWS. It's exactly what it sounds like, which is to say it's a remake of the Steven Spielberg classic starring the fastest hedgehog alive. Why write about this now? No reason other than it's inexplicably good, featuring some pretty decent voice acting (better than the official Sonic series often has anyway), that iconic Jaws shot, and a supporting cast that includes Conker from Conker's Bad Fur Day. It's only 37 minutes long, so you definitely want to watch this if you haven't already. Honestly, it has exploding sharks. What more do you need?
