Hey, it's Bill Simmons. I have some good news for you. The hottest take. It's back.

Oh yeah. Monday through Thursday, four times a week, you heard from me. Chris Ryan, Sean

Fantasy, Malloruban, Wazdy and Lambray, Van Leith and June Lippen. Many other ringer

staffers, you get one take, you got an offender to the death. Sports takes. Pop culture takes.

Airplane takes. Oh yeah. It's coming back. First episode drops August 29th.

I'm Sean Fantasy and this is the big picture. A conversation show about sliced the loan.

Stallone stars in the down and dirty superhero movie Samaritan now streaming on Amazon Prime.

So today we're building a hall of fame in honor of Stallone and we're joined by a true,

the one true Stalloneologist Bill Simmons. Is that what I am? Well, the new Amazon movie's

bad, right? It's pretty bad. Yeah. Well, you know what it reminded me of. It reminded

me of another Stallone movie. It reminded me of Judge Dredd, which was his attempt to get

into the superhero world in the 90s because it was sort of like ground level. It was very

violent. It didn't have the same like winking quality that a lot of our modern superhero movies

made because you know, it's a Stallone movie. He can only do so much in that respect.

I didn't think it was great though. I was a little disappointed by it. Judge Dredd was bad

and it is not in my hall of fame. No, it's that's safe to say. I think it was clumsy. I think

a good word for Stallone sometimes is clumsy. He clearly oversees his own career. He looks

at the big picture of it and he tries to zag and zig. But a lot of times it just doesn't work out.

Yeah. He did that. Driven's a good example of that where he does driven with Bert Reynolds and it's

like cars, hip and it just failed or get Carter was another one. I'm a little older now. I'm going

to do like my sort of like cool crime movie. It just didn't work. But sometimes it does work.

Yeah. Sometimes we did coplane on the Ruachibles a few months ago. That was him making an effort
