The Bill Simmons podcast is brought to you by the ringer podcast network, where you can find a new episode of the rewatchables we put up last night, Rocky two. It was the last of the Rocky movies.

This week, we have a great documentary about Jeff Buckley directed by Amy Berg. It's awesome. So that's gonna be on HBO on Thursday night, and then we'll be available on on HBO Max all weekend.
