As Taking It Down begins this week, the guys give the final COVID-19 segment — hopefully — with some first-hand accounting of playing live music after a year off (1:46). How did it go? Does it feel safe?
Then it’s a discussion of the Amazon Prime show The Underground Railroad and how the important, but hard, series displays the incredible work of the master Barry Jenkins (11:38). After the break, it’s a brief set of predictions on The Challenge: All Stars before talk on the shocking fifth episode of the HBO show Mare of Easttown, which was titled “Illusions” (38:04).
