Some of our very important thoughts from this week's episode, but the full podcast is amazing. If missed, you'll have regret.

Taking It Down | The Alabama Take - Compositions, Podcasts, and Miscreants Get recommendations and unpacking for television from thinkers who ensure zero spoilers until a vote has been cast on if the work is worth taking down from the...

It's Tuesday! It's Taking It Down! In the non-spoiler segment, the hosts talk about 'The Phoenician Scheme,' 'Andor,' 'Stick,' and 'Dept. Q.' In the spoilers, it's only Netflix's 'Dept. Q' and its mysteries. thealabamatake.com/p...

What's going to be my new favorite song? I'll give it an earnest listen today if you tell me by 3:30 or so -- assuming I've not already heard it. Even then, I may listen again.

On Tuesday’s coming episode, it’s like we’ve gone to the movies! We’ll talk ‘A Complete Unknown,’ ‘Nosferatu,’ and ‘Conclave’!

I bet I’m not the only one, but I can down a cup of coffee and immediately fall asleep.

This country really did go to shit when they put Chrisley in jail. That man knew when to give folks the what-for!

Taking Bets Semifinal | The Alabama Take - Compositions, Podcasts, and Miscreants The writers make their best bets for the semifinals of the first twelve-team playoffs in college football.

I’ve come to the wonderful conclusion that I may not care what many of social media thinks.

Happy birthday to the best ever on TV. Still miss him.

Our episode this Tuesday — the last of the year, no less — has us discussing some things we liked in TV (and beyond) this year, the conclusion of ‘What We Do In The Shadows,’ and fanbases who want to write the show. #TV

Hell yeah

Hey all , I've mentioned it before but on Dec 18th there is a benefit in Tuscaloosa to help my brewery. It feats short Stripped down sets from Brittany Howard, Mike Cooley, Lee Bains, Wanda and Jameson Hubbard. T-shirt pre-sale and donations. www.tuscaloosagetup.com.
It'll be fun and so help us!

You didn’t because there were zero Dawes mentions.

I’ve been staying off social media a little less these days, but a few months ago, I was sold on Threads. Now every time I go on there, I see I have four or five notifications. They’re all “Picked For You.” Not what I want. Anyways!

It is Giving Tuesday, and we welcome any and all support. If you're strapped for cash like we often are, a free way to show your support of our podcast is to leave a review where you like to listen. If you want, you can send us a screen shot and we'll say hello next Tuesday. Take care, y'all!

Here's a short reel of what's happening this week, but for non-spoilers, we discuss 'Say Nothing,' 'Shrinking,' and 'Blitz.' For spoilers, we dig into 'Somebody, Somewhere' and Thanksgiving, if 'Shrinking' is any good this season, and how tense 'Say Nothing' can be. It's in any podcast app!

On Tuesday morning, this podcast will discuss the first four episodes of ‘Say Nothing,’ the current season of ‘Shrinking,’ and the Thanksgiving episode of ‘Somebody, Somewhere.’ It’ll be fun!

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

I’m imposing tariffs on Thanksgiving this year.

Everyone’s on it!

With the new episode out today, how about a reel that'll give you a sense of what you'd want to avoid? In this week's episode, we discuss the IRA and Ireland with the show 'Say Nothing,' those silly vampires in 'What We Do In The Shadows,' and some Midwestern hope in 'Somebody, Somewhere.'

Does anyone have any opinions on politics or anything like that?

I’m going into my 6th or 7th day and whatever it is does not seem to get better as quickly as things like this usually does. I bounce back sort of easily most of the time.

Anyone else have the never ending cold or whatever this thing is?

Hey y’all, what’s the Bama score!? Been busy all night and cannot wait to see how we got one step closer to the play—oh.

And I try to avoid politics in social media this days. Not because I think it’s unimportant, it’s just. Well. You know.

I don’t use my personal Bluesky as much as I used my personal accounts elsewhere. But I’ll warn y’all: this is where things get absurd.

Coming on Tuesday, our new episode will discuss ‘Silo’ and its return to Apple TV+ and the ending of ‘The Penguin’ on HBO.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle with diarrhea. Please be kind.

Y’all need to tell me! We doing this ‘un or the other ‘un?!
