Bono's Surrender, Avatar vs Dances With Wolves, and Emily the Criminal

<p>No Natalie this week as she's off working for the joy of the holiday season (3:58). Blaine and Adam are itching to talk about Bono's autobiographical writing <em>Surrender</em> as well as U2 as a whole (4:36). Somehow, we can't avoid <em>Avatar</em> talk (20:51), which leads into not one but two stories about <em>Dances With Wolves</em> (22:36)! Come for the <em>Avatar</em> bashing, stay for the <em>Dances With Wolves</em> childhood tales!</p> <p>From there, it's the bulk of the episode as the gang dissects the enjoyment of the Netflix movie <em>Emily The Criminal</em> (26:14) as well as a very deep dive into the final episodes and overall amazement of <em>The English</em> from Amazon Prime, including why its flawed but still great (42:17).</p> <p><em>The Alabama Take</em> brings you all the entire family of podcasts and writings -- all with no ads!
