We don't like unplanned weeks off, but that's the way it goes. Next week is up in the air, but a regular Tuesday schedule appears to be the case until the end of the year.

We think 'Black Rabbit' still works and here's why; sadly, 'The Last Frontier' does not work at all; 'Chad Powers' has actual tension; 'The Lowdown' has things to say, and not just about Tulsa; 'Task' could have made the best episode of the year. Hear the full podcast in any pod app!

This week, we've got class reunions, 'Chad Powers' trying to come back, 'Monster' is lacking, 'Bad Rabbit' on Netflix, 'The Lowdown' shines on Hulu, and more on 'Task' and the bikers.

Hey, y'all! I swear, we're putting out can't-miss episodes. This week in non-spoilers it's 'The Lowdown,' 'Black Rabbit,' 'Task,' and 'Alien: Earth.' Then when we talk some deep spoilers, it's only the third episode of 'Task' and the ending of 'Alien: Earth.' Philosophical and shit!

Taking It Down Podcast @takingitdownpod.bsky.social · 28d

From this week's episode, we discuss 'Task' episode two, 'Alien: Earth' episodes 4-5, and a little news from Adam and his band. Here's a highlight reel, but the true grit is in the whole episode!

Taking It Down Podcast @takingitdownpod.bsky.social · 29d

There's no doubt now. Taking It Down is easily the best TV podcast. These are can't miss each Tuesday. This week: 'Task' episode 2, 'Alien: Earth' episodes 4-5, and news from Sister Ray Davies. You may as well subscribe.

How 'It's Always Sunny...' is the American example; plus, 'Blue Lights' continues into season two, episode one but does not miss a beat of quality. As always, it's non-spoilers first before the spoiler section. Listen in any podcast app you prefer! https://thealabamatake.com/podcast/taking-it-down

Taking It Down Podcast @takingitdownpod.bsky.social · Sep 1

Happy Labor Day! New episode coming tomorrow: how 'It's Always Sunny...' is all of America and 'Blue Lights' widens its scope in the second season and deepens! All that and more tomorrow morning! Bright and early!

This week on our show, we talk about how the ESPN app was a debacle and adds to confusion, how 'Blue Lights' decides its rules, and why 'Alien: Earth' still cooks in a brief check in with that series. In spoilers, we break down episodes three through six of 'Blue Lights.' Catch the highlights here!

Come for the TV analysis, stay for the bad Hank Hill impression. Here's a clip from this week's episode, though you can find the full thing in any podcast app of The Alabama Take's YouTube channel.

Taking It Down Podcast @takingitdownpod.bsky.social · Aug 12

We're back from the break! We've got first-hand UK notes, who Hank Hill voted for, what the Netflix series 'Any Given Saturday' is missing, and how 'Blue Lights' on HBO Max is so much better than its name implies.

Taking It Down Podcast @takingitdownpod.bsky.social · Aug 11

Tomorrow, we return from a customary break to discuss seeing Oasis live, determining Hank Hill's voting preferences ('King of the Hill'), knowing what's missing in 'SEC Football: Any Given Saturday' on Netflix, and grading the first episode of 'Blue Lights' on HBO Max.

Taking It Down Podcast @takingitdownpod.bsky.social · Aug 10

Here’s an announcement for our three fans to say we’ll be back on Tuesday, and helping me is none other than “The Voice of the Alabama Take”! She ropes in unwilling surprise guests, too.

Taking It Down Podcast @takingitdownpod.bsky.social · Aug 2

As is necessary, we tend to take a late summer break for August. We'll be back on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Bright & early. Whilst you wait, hit up the podcast, leave a comment or review, and cry real tears of pain. Talk to y'all soon!
