Reel and Remote

I just remembered watching this cartoon episode as a kid. Hard to believe it’s almost 90 years old — and the tortoise shares my name. It was fun watching it.

In the 1936 Disney Silly Symphony short Toby Tortoise Returns, released August 22, 1936, Max Hare and Toby Tortoise face off in a boxing ring. Max is faster, but Toby pulls off the win after Max accidentally stuffs him with fireworks. It’s about 7 minutes long and absolutely worth a watch.

I did read the book, with the same name, The Chestnut Man three years ago but I didn’t finish. It was good but I got distracted with other things and forgot about it. I should finish reading the book!

Widow's Bay on Apple TV+

Currently watching: Widow’s Bay 📺

Widow's Bay is one of those shows where the haunted lore feels lived-in because it basically is.

Creator Katie Dippold spent nearly 20 years building this world, pulling from Stephen King's small-town New England atmosphere, John Carpenter's The Fog, and the DNA of Jaws — a stubborn mayor refusing to believe his island is in danger while everything around him says otherwise. She even tapped Hiro Murai, the director behind Atlanta's unforgettable "Teddy Perkins" episode, to helm half the series. If anyone knows how to make something funny and deeply unsettling at the same time, it's him.
