The second week of Cole’s spooky continues with the 2026’s Emmy’s darling, Widow’s Bay. We discuss why people shouldn’t be caught up with the discourse and superlatives, because the show delivers what it needs to in a captivating and fun way, and that’s all you need to know about it.
If you were putting it off because of the hype and discourse, today’s episode gives you all the reasons you need to dig in and watch it this Halloween season.
Be sure you check out all of Cole’s 2026 recommendations in our show notes.
If you’re a fan of Cole and his watchlist, follow him on Letterboxd or X/Twitter, where you’ll find more of his hot takes, staunchly defended classics, and inspirations.
We hope you enjoy today’s episode, be sure to share it with any fans of horror, Halloween, or spooky movies, and we’ll be back every Friday this month with more from Cole.
