Belfast and Five Days At Memorial

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><em>Taking It Down</em> returns this week and as always starts by awarding the Done Up Real Good Listener of the Week as a thank you to a listener for their input (2:48). Then it's some short discussion on how much time we'll give to the upcoming HBO show <em>House of the Dragon</em> (3:52), Amazon Prime's <em>The Rings of Power</em> (6:57), and Disney+'s <em>She-Hulk: Attorney at Law</em> (8:17). Next, Adam talks about watching <em>South Park</em> celebrate a long run (10:57) before shifting gears to discuss some of the movie <em>Belfast</em> as it recently became available on HBO Max (13:51). He gives his spoiler-free thoughts on <em>Belfast</em> to explain why it works so well as a movie. Finally the two hosts discuss the urgent, frightening, and well-paced drama on Apple TV+ <em>Five Days at Memorial</em>, which is based on the true events in a hospital in New Orleans just after Hurricane Katrina (20:03). But it's more than just trauma porn, right?</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>As with every episode, listeners can find it in any podcast app, including Spotify, or listen with the embedded player above.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>The podcast <em>Taking It Down</em> releases weekly on Tuesday mornings.
