Taking It Down

Taking It Down is back from a week off and we have plenty to say! First, we have the correct pronunciation of Godzilla (2:10) before we discuss how we are now a superteam due to being vaccinated (3:34). Not only that, there are plenty of shows that we could discuss, and we rattle off some possibilities for future installments of the podcast (6:13).

Then the pop culture discussions really kick off as Natalie joins the squad to give her thoughts on Falcon and The Winter Soldier from Disney+ (8:16) and the HBO Max movie Godzilla vs. Kong (19:07). Is it any good? We'll let you know!

After an announcement on an upcoming series from The Alabama Take, which you'll find soon enough on the YouTube channel for the site, the guys break down why the HBO Max show Made For Love is so dark and so funny (31:40).

Adam recommends one that got away: Lodge 49, which is now streaming on Hulu (3:55). Blaine, having finished Last Chance U: Basketball, gives his final review (12:42). Then the guys talk a bit about the odd Apple TV+ show, Calls (15:46).

After the break, Donovan gives an excellent reading suggestion by dissecting some of the writing of R.A. Lafferty (20:49) before Adam and Blaine discuss the coming end of this season of The Challenge as well as preview the Paramount+ version of the show, The Challenge: All Stars (27:21).

If there's only one podcast you listen to this week about Justice League, you probably don't want it to be this one.

For today's episode, there's a bit of vaccine talk and what that means for us (1:19) before we get into the big, beefy Snyder cut of Justice League which is now streaming on HBO Max (4:55).

Before more comic book talk, there's a brief venture into the world of basketball as Netflix has dropped the newest season of Last Chance U (26:54).

After the break, we're joined by Natalie and it's all about the new show for the MCU airing on Disney Plus, Falcon and the Winter Soldier (36:27).

In this week's episode of Taking It Down, we start with the bane of Daylight Savings Time (1:39) before we suss out if we are seeing a legitimate return of live music sooner than later (2:32).

Then on to serious business: in a segment we've titled "The Lord's coming back real soon," we dare to ask WTF are NFTs (11:46)?

Finally, we talk TV with the first two episodes of the revealing show The Real World Homecoming on Paramount Plus and how the series allows viewers to review themselves (17:38); as well as the HBO Max series Genera+ion, which dropped its first three episodes on Thursday and just may be bad television (32:21).

All this and more this week! Taking It Down has a new episode every Tuesday! Subscribe and let us know what you think.

It's Taking It Down!

We start this week's show with brief thoughts on the COVID-19 vaccines (2:11) before moving into the disappointment of Paramount Plus (5:21).

Then we bring in our resident MCU expert, Natalie Morrow, to break down the finale of the Disney Plus show WandaVision (9:43). There was serious drama on the most recent episode of The Challenge, but with Adam's help, we discuss the CT-centric entry of the MTV staple (27:25).

After the break, the guys discuss how Coming 2 America stands in the pantheon of comedy movies (41:57). That sequel is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Lastly, Adam manages to sneak in some music recommendations for the almost-spring season that is (53:19). All that and a bit more from Taking It Down.

It's a packed Taking It Down this week, so let's review: we're not sure that we have any more thoughts on COVID-19 (2:45) so we immediately move into the drama on this week's episode of The Challenge (4:40). From there, it's a short talk on Dwayne Johnson and his new series on NBC Young Rock (19:17) before we talk about the interest level we have for The Real World Homecoming (26:13).

This week on Taking It Down somehow or another -- though it comes as no surprise -- we start with some Tom Petty music memories (1:02). After that, Blaine, Adam, and Donovan discuss how they've avoided Covid thus far (3:58) which veers into a discussion on kitty litter (4:26).

Then it's actual pop culture talk! First up, the latest episode of WandaVision and the costumes of the 90s (5:43) before we offer up some show recommendations (19:39).
