Taking It Down is the The Alabama Take‘s TV and streaming podcast for listeners who have time for the TV, but not time for much else. From us, you’ll get the mundane and absurd, the complex and the simple, the easy and the hard all with zero Hollywood b.s.

This week, we get right to the point: is Napoleon a good movie? It sure could’ve been with some of these fixes (2:03). After the break, we discuss how Fargo returns, checks some boxes, but gets back to form (21:18).

If you’re a fan of video podcasts, the YouTube channel for The Alabama Take has extra footage different from the audio episode, found below, but we need a name. Chime in! Win prizes!
