GRIND & SPIN
An amateur cyclist makes a last ditch effort to turn pro. This means recruiting a ragtag group of misfits who have to learn how to ride as a team, cut weight, and defeat their unscrupulous bougie rivals.

With Guillermo del Toro’s recommendation, I started watching Apple TV+‘s “Widow’s Bay.” It’s so incredibly good that I couldn’t stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. It’s packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayor’s tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from “Jaws.” The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of “Twin Peaks.” It’s been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I can’t wait for next Wednesday’s final episode.

Sometimes I'll just put on the #Succession soundtrack and stare out my window with my hands clasped behind my back, like Logan Roy surveying Manhattan. I get all pensive and just think, "I should mow the lawn."
