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 first non-spoiler episode! We get into 'The American Revolution,' 'The Beast in Me,' 'Welcome to Derry,' 'Death by Lightning,' 'Plur1bus,' and 'Frankenstein'! We'll release another tomorrow with all of the spoiler-filled analysis!

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.

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!

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!

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
