Hey all! We won’t have episodes this week and possibly next week due to travels and odds and ins. We wish you all a happy new year! The Alabama Take has a few best-of lists today and tomorrow on movies, music, and our forté: television!

[Taking It Down @TakingItDownPod]

For Taking It Down this week, we discuss our collective loss of the HBO series 'Somebody Somewhere' in the non-spoiler section. We also discuss the notion of 'Silo' on Apple TV+ and if has a season-two problem. We prep for another show's ending with 'What We Do In The Shadows.'

[Taking It Down @TakingItDownPod]

It's a singular focus of #TV series 'Say Nothing' which challenges tropes of good vs evil and what to display from real-world events. We discuss the show in broad terms in the non-spoiler section and then episodes six through the ending of the series in the section for spoilers.

If you haven't caught up, here's a snippet instead as the article may have spoilers you wish not to see.

Paul Thureen of 'Somebody Somewhere' mentioned our podcast in Deadline. Nice to be noticed; amazingly special to be said by a person whose work you absolutely love. Now, everyone go watch 'Somebody Somewhere' if you haven't!   https://t.co/T8f70yvKEn
