Netflix's The Queen's Gambit and A Lot More

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>It's the fiftieth episode and it's full of all you've come to love about <em>Taking It Down</em>. First the guys talk some Covid news with one of them even getting tested (2:07). And though <em>Taking It Down</em> is all about pop culture, it would hard not to discuss the election and its intersection with college football (5:00). Should we, too, join the new social media Parler (8:48)? There are plenty of ideas floating.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>The gentlemen then give out some things they believe to be praiseworthy from Adam's love of some of the latest reissues (12:40), to Donovan's discovery of <em>Pen15</em> and <em>Joe Pera Talks With You</em> as well as his love of Olivia Manning's trilogy of books (21:01), and finally to Blaine's belief that some of <em>The Walking Dead</em> shows are back to being an okay hang (26:38).</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After the break, the three of them do a dive into the first episode of the new Netflix series <em>The Queen's Gambit</em>, which seems to be quite good so far (31:58).</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Plus, a quick note: there will be no <em>Taking It Down</em> next week on November 17th. We'll return on November 24th.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
