In this midweek catch-all episode of Need Some Introduction, I planned to focus on Apple TV+’s comedic horror series Widow’s Bay, but a surprise Hulu drop from The Bear—an hour-long teaser episode titled “Gary” (May 5)—derails the agenda, prompting a long breakdown before I recap Widow’s Bay. I explain how to find “Gary,” note it’s written by Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach and directed by Christopher Storer, and discuss its 2019 flashback road trip to Gary, Indiana, exploring Richie and Mikey’s bond, Mikey’s inner turmoil, the bar “fact vs. fiction” game, the trivial box delivery, and a present-day coda where Richie is T-boned. I also share Patreon updates and renewals/news (The Lowdown S2, Wonder Man S2, Rooster! S2, Paradise S3, Alien Earth S2, Down Cemetery Lane S2) and briefly cover Widow’s Bay Episodes 1–3 as the show pivots into overt supernatural horror while staying sharply funny.
