Most of the hosts are wrapping up Thanksgiving duties, so Blaine enlists one of the higher ups in The Alabama Take to help discuss how 'Welcome to Derry' sustains horror, manages to be one of the better adaptations, and scares plenty. https://thealabamatake.com/podcast/taking-it-down

Here's a taste of what we have in store today, our second (and back-to-back) episode in as many days. We have the ups and downs with 'Welcome to Derry'; we really liked 'Death by Lightning'; we love 'Plur1bus' but there is a lot to think about. We hope you enjoy our episode! Happy Thanksgiving!

It's our wee little reel to lure you to isten to the whole podcast, which will bring your day please. We talk a lot of TV that's airing now, then we narrow it down to 'Plur1bus,' 'Welcome to Derry,' and 'The Lowdown.' It's a great hang. It'll make you wanna spend money.

Here's a tip: if you only listen to one podcast, make it Taking It Down tomorrow morning. Oh, and leave us a pleasant-sounding review on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or your podcast player of choice. Something like, "Makes me bad excited" or the like. Out every Tuesday morning.

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!
