Widow's Bay Season 1
from Because I'm John Sellmeyer Hosted by John Robert Joseph Sellmeyer
Today on Because I'm John Sellmeyer, we are packing our bags and hopping the ferry to Widow's Bay. I am joined by my wife Alondra to review the brilliant new Apple TV+ horror comedy created by Katie Dippold and directed by Hiro Murai. The series follows Mayor Tom Loftus, played by Matthew Rhys, as a skeptical widower trying to boost tourism on an isolated New England island while completely ignoring its deeply cursed history. We discuss the show's perfect balance of absurd workplace comedy and genuine scares, breaking down our favorite creepy moments involving terrifying basement crawl spaces, stalker sea witches, and literal bloodthirsty mist. We also debate how long it would take us to realize we were trapped in a horror movie at the Breakwater Inn and hand out our final ratings. If you need a break from island curses and want to dive into some eco-horror instead, you can grab my book The Maw Beneath The Mane, available now on Kindle, Audible, and Barnes & Noble online.
