The Wrath of the iOtians
Widow's Bay and From Season 4
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Just like Emperor Palpatine....somehow, Jake and Ron returned— and they've got a lot to catch up on! This episode, the iOtians dive deep into two binge-worthy shows: Widow's Bay, the darkly funny horror-comedy on Apple TV+ that's got serious Stephen King vibes, and From, the slow-burn mystery thriller on MGM+ that somehow keeps pulling them back in despite their Season 4 frustrations.
They explore the folklore of hags, discuss Widow's Bay as a homage to Stephen King, break down the terrifying Man in Yellow, and ask the big question — will Fatima's golem actually come to life?
Welcome back, everyone. It's good to be on the air again!
