'Good American Family' Defies Stereotypes; 'The White Lotus' Asks Its Deepest Questions Yet

This week, Taking It Down begins with a welcome and how to help if you enjoy the episode (0:01). Also in the introduction is an overview of what the episode covers (1:38).

From there, Blaine begins the non-spoiler section to drop in for a brief thought on the new Apple TV+ show 'The Studio' (2:21). The podcast moves into a non-spoiler presentation of the Hulu sensation 'Good American Family,' a series that due to self-awareness starts its early season incredibly well (3:28). Without spoilers, the guys offer some interesting factoids about the HBO hit 'The White Lotus' (9:35).

In the spoiler half, tensions are running high in 'The White Lotus' and its penultimate episode, but it's a season that may be asking its best questions yet (14:51).
