What Is Dad TV and Is That What 'Silo' Is? How Good Was 'The Penguin' In The End?
Episode 220
Tuesday, 19 November, 2024

Easily the best episode to date! This week on Taking It Down, Blaine, Adam, and Donovan start with the debacle of 'Paul vs. Tyson' on Netflix, which somehow results in what social media is of late (0:04). For the non-spoiler section that begins each episode, they shift into the premiere of the second season of the Apple TV+ serires 'Silo' and determine if it fits the mold of "Dad TV" (4:39). What is "Dad TV," anyway? Keeping things spoiler-free, they also give an overview of the HBO show 'The Penguin' now that it is finished (14:08). In the back half with spoilers, they discuss how 'Silo' and its themes are timely (18:38) and how 'The Penguin' became an elevated comic book story (34:35).
