In a new episode today, Corey gets his feelings hurt as the three buttholes in the podcast We Are A Star War discuss 'The Muppet Show' with Mark Hamill. thealabamatake.com/p...

Takin' On Sports comes at you today! Bama, Hoosiers, Texas, Georgia, USC = good; Penn State (bye James Franklin), SEC refs, Auburn's offense = bad. The American is almost as fun as the Big 12, OSU is probably the best team, next week's schedule, UAB, NFL, Aces dynasty, MLB playoffs.

This week on Taking It Down: 'Black Rabbit' may not work for all, but there are reasons why it still fascinates; 'The Last Frontier' is DOA; 'Chad Powers' has tension; 'The Lowdown' says something; 'Task' makes one of the best episodes of TV this year. thealabamatake.com/p...

This week from The Alabama Take: Takin' On Sports begins rotating to Tuesday and then back to Monday starting tomorrow. Get your college football (and more) analysis tomorrow morning. Taking It Down still releases each Tuesday morning. We Are A Star War will air a new podcast on Wednesday.

In case you missed the news from @takinonsports.bsky.social, they’ll be on a new schedule going forward.

Go back to James Dean, and every generation has the leading man. Is Chalamet this generation DiCaprio? Culture writer Jake Elliff has the evidence, and the proof is there. Read his argument here, and feel free to swoon a bit: thealabamatake.com/b...

There's more at stake than the Red River Shootout, but each writer has an idea about that game and more this week in Taking Bets! thealabamatake.com/b...

This week, we've got class reunions, 'Chad Powers' trying to come back, 'Monster' is lacking, 'Bad Rabbit' on Netflix, 'The Lowdown' shines on Hulu, and more on 'Task' and the bikers.

Plenty of TV this week from Taking It Down: 'Chad Powers,' 'Monster' on Netflix, 'Bad Rabbit,' 'The Lowdown' on Hulu, and 'Task.' Check it out! thealabamatake.com/p...

Alabama does not look bad in a revenge win. What's wrong with Penn State? Is it Miami's year? Where does Texas fall in this? All that, plus the MLB playoffs in October and the WNBA Finals. A good week on Takin' On Sports!

As each Friday in college football season continues, our writers make their best bets on The Alabama Take around 4:30 p.m. So far, it's a bit of a disaster, but those are also a lot of fun to watch. Just ask Dabo Swinney. (Or don't.) thealabamatake.com/b...

Know that sweet voice that begins a lot of our podcasts? Well, she really wants to add a little more to the fundraiser to her Fun Run, which helps raise money for her very good school's playground equipment. Would you want to help? www.getmovinfundhub....

Taking It Down, our very own TV podcast, comes out each Tuesday. This week, they talk 'The Lowdown,' 'Black Rabbit,' 'Task,' and 'Alien: Earth.' On the spoiler side of things, they get some tough discussions going about episode three of 'Task' and the ending of 'Alien: Earth.' Well worth the listen!

The guys are back this week and it was another fantastic week of football starring Kadyn Proctor, plus a lot more. thealabamatake.com/p...

There are plenty of NFL teams who need a win and snap the 0-3 start. There are a few of our writers who need a win, too. This week on Taking Bets: thealabamatake.com/b...

This week on what's been hailed as one of the best TV podcasts, if not THE best, it's the second episode of 'Task,' the fourth and fifth episodes of 'Alien: Earth,' and some news on Adam's band Sister Ray Davies. Tune in each Tuesday! thealabamatake.com/p...

Reminder that there’s no show this week while @td2kool.bsky.social is out of town.

Much better so far this week from everyone. Blaine is sitting at 2-0 with Miami -8.5 Mal went 2-1 today Greg went 1-2 (went 0-4 last weekend) I'm at 2-0 with USC -18.5

Week Four and a lot left to figure out about the strange season, namely: can Billy Napier win the game of his life? Our best best and and more, each week: thealabamatake.com/b...

This week on the TV podcast Taking It Down, it's a lot of good streaming options, the first episode of 'Task,' two episodes of 'Alien: Earth,' and finalizing the second season of 'Blue Lights.' They say it's one of the best episodes to date? thealabamatake.com/p...

With a wonderful weekend of football, Takin' On Sports discuss the return of Ryan Williams, Georgia breaking Vol hearts, A&M stealing one in South Bend, whatever the hell that was between Florida and LSU, Georgia Tech's big win, and a whole lot more.

Yesterday's results: Blaine: 1-2, has Vikings -3.5 today TD: 1-2, 49ers -3 Mal: 2-1, Steelers -3 Greg: 0-3, Cowboys -5.5

Some movies do hit on your phone. Here are five genres that actually thrive on the smallest screen from author Jeff Elliff: thealabamatake.com/b...

On Taking It Down this week, the hosts discuss the hype for 'Task' on HBO and get deeper into Season Two of 'Blue Lights' with the first four episodes. Hear it here: thealabamatake.com/p...

It's football season, for sure, and the hosts of Takin' On Sports asks Alabama, "Oh, it's going to be THAT sort of season!?" Hear the full podcast here: thealabamatake.com/p...

Yesterday’s results saw Blaine, Mal, and Greg all go 1-2, while I snuck out with a 2-1 day. Today, both Blaine & Mal have the Bills +1, Greg has the Ravens -1, and I stayed far away from that game and took the Bengals -5.5.

The theme of the early window for our pick ‘em group is outliers: only 2 people picked Iowa over Iowa State, and one person each picked Duke over Illinois, Baylor over SMU, and Virginia over NC State.

Everyone ended with the same record, but with an NFL game now in play, does it help or hurt? Well, when Brian Kelly wins, everyone loses anyway. Here are this week's bets: thealabamatake.com/b...

Short Takes is now on pod apps as audio. Used to be only on YouTube. Well, now you can just listen if you want. We started with season one, way back in 2021. Here's Patterson Hood, and it's a good one. He's a great guest! Go subscribe and we'll get them all done up real good! thealabamatake.com/p...

This week, it's a study of American culture itself with 'It's Always Sunny...' as well as how 'Blue Lights' expands its threads and storylines without missing a beat with its first episode of the second season. The podcast is always divided into spoilers and non-spoilers! thealabamatake.com/p...

No Takin’ On Sports today. Greg and TD will pick their wounds, figure out what the hell is up at Alabama, and return next Monday.

Kill the algorithm. www.teepublic.com/t-...

This is a sad piece on many levels. Goodbye, middle class.

It's Tuesday! It's TV! Our resident TV and streaming podcast today discuss ESPN's lack of direction with the new streaming app, how 'Blue Lights' questions where rules begin and end, and a brief check on 'Alien: Earth.' In spoilers this week, 'Blue Lights' season one, episodes 3 - 6.

It is the week! Never mind the one or two minuscule games this past weekend. Takin' On Sports has a big Alabama preview as well as the rest of the SEC this Monday. And here it is: thealabamatake.com/p...

It's a good time! Hear the audio-only version in any podcast app or on the site. thealabamatake.com/p...

Taking It Down has a long look at the first three episodes of 'Blue Lights,' now on HBO Max and a brief preview of 'Alien: Earth.' Hear it in any podcast app or YouTube!

In a conference where every team is a wildcard (cue Charlie from 'It's Always Sunnny...'), how varied can the predictions get? Takin' On Sports assesses the Big 12 and it's odd set of teams this year. #Football thealabamatake.com/p...
