Hello, welcome back to the Prestige TV podcast feed.

0:16.0

I'm Joanna Robinson.

0:16.9

I'm Rob Mahoney.

0:17.6

We are here live and in person to talk about the TV event of the year. Yeah, why not?

0:23.7

Sure. It's stick on Apple TV Plus. But before we talk about this new own Wilson show that is ostensibly about golf, we're going to talk about that in a second.

0:34.5

Golf, the meaning of life, family. I was reading this really fascinating. Have you

0:39.0

heard of Bill Simmons? Vaguely, yes. He wrote this really fascinating piece on this website

And so we just thought we would talk about, I don't know, sports movies quite broadly, a topic that might be of interest to people who frequent the ringer.

1:31.1

Golf as a sport, how does it lend itself to the medium of a sports movie or a sports TV show?

1:39.8

And then how Stick sort of measures up to these other two.

1:44.7

I would say classics of sports cinema.

1:48.3

I would definitely say so.

1:49.5

I was looking at a bunch of lists of the top golf movies of all time.
