WIDOW’S BAY SERIES REVIEW
Summertime is upon us and there are plenty of spots to consider for vacation. Are you looking for cozy yet sophisticated, quaint yet modern, Martha’s Vineyard like locale yet affordable, to make memories with your family? A place that is definitely not cursed? Then you’re (not) looking for Widow’s Bay, and you can see why on the Apple Plus horror comedy series, Widows Bay. Mayor Tom (Matthew Rhys) dreams of increasing the tourism of the town and putting to rest all the nightmarish folklore that’s haunted the New England island for decades. A travel journalist is visiting the island and Tom wants to present the island as the next number one vacation sensation. Wyck (Stephen Root), the town resident with in depth knowledge of the island’s lore and spooky history, feels inviting tourism will feed the evil of the island causing devastation to the locals and visitors alike. The conflict is set and the scares are aplenty with plenty of laughs as well. Bradly, Eoin, and Dom discuss the high wire horror and hycks in the mysterious comedy thriller, how long the wait will be for season 2, and their favorite townies of this new hit series.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.
Eoin Daly
Born and raised in Dublin Ireland, Eoin currently lives in London and has been an avid film lover from as far back as they can remember. Eoin enjoys going to the cinema weekly regardless of the film: new, old, or the most random title. They have no preconceived notions when taking in a new film. They tend to look for the good in any film they watch and will always love the art form. They are a major fan of actress-led cinema and will never apologize for this one film bias.
Dominic Rizzi (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)
Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, NY, Dom “the Movie Nerd” Rizzi fell in love with film at a young age. After majoring in film in both community college and achieving a Bachelor’s degree in film from SUNY Oswego, Dom went on to start his own podcast Talkin’ TV during Covid before studying acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. Relentlessly passionate about everything related to film, Dom has shot and produced several short films, as well as having written several scripts. Working at a liquor store by day, Dom has continued to pursue his passion for cinema in any capacity he can, because to follow his dreams, in the words of Shia LaBeouf pre-descent into insanity, “just do it.”
