It's the Bill Simmons Podcast. We are part of the Ringer Podcast Network, where I'm doing some culture stuff over the next couple of days. I'm going to be on the Prestige TV Podcast because I may or may not have banged out the entire season of The Better Sister with Jessica Biel. and Elizabeth Banks. I don't know how prestigious it was, but it's worth discussing.
So I think Joanna Robinson and I are going to do a podcast about it tomorrow. So stay tuned for that. You can hear, they did the season finale of Your Friends and Neighbors on there as well. We're heading into a weird TV cycle right now. At least we have the bear coming up and think stranger things. But for the most part, the summer is a little rocky.
So it was exciting that The Better Sister was at least watchable. Going to talk about that and then rewatchable is Monday night. It's me and Kyle Brandt. Es ist unser vierter Steven-Sagal-Film. Vier zu viele oder vier zu wenige? Ihr entscheidet. Ich denke, das ist das Funneste, was wir von einem Steven-Sagal-Film gesprochen haben. Wir haben Out for Justice gemacht. Did anyone see Richie?
We still don't know. But we're gonna find out and break it down during that pod. And I had a lot of laughs. So that is coming Monday night. You can watch it as a video podcast on Spotify. You can watch it on the Ringer Movies YouTube channel. You can watch all the clips and videos from this podcast. an the Bill Simmons YouTube channel. So I have Ryan Russillo coming up because it's Sunday.
We're taping this early. It's Sunday morning. And then we're bringing in Van Lathan so we can do a three-man booth because it's the spring of the three-man booth. We might as well do a three-man. That is all coming up next. We're going to take a break. We're going to bring in Pearl Jim and then Russillo next. This episode is presented by State Farm.
