What to Watch podcast: It's showtime for HBO's Lakers dynasty series Winning Time

This weekend, Don't Look Up writer-director and Succession EP Adam McKay transports audiences back to the 1980s for HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, about the Los Angeles Lakers' Showtime era that changed the NBA.

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are in the spotlight in director Amy Poehler's documentary, which includes personal recordings made by the couple as well as interviews with their family and other stars who help chronicle the legends' lives and careers.

Also, after nearly two years off the air, Outlander is back for its sixth season, picking up not long after the brutal events of the season 5 finale. Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar Jones star in the new movie Fresh, in which she tries to escape his gory and maniacal game. And Courteney Cox and Greg Kinnear headline the horror-comedy series Shining Vale, in which Cox's character Pat can't figure out if she's depressed or possessed.

Plus: Ryan Reynolds delivers our Sound Bite of the Week in the latest trailer for his upcoming movie The Adam Project. Tamron Hall, who hosts the new Court TV series Someone They Knew, tells us what she's watching. And entertainment headlines — including Jack Harlow's big-screen debut in a White Men Can't Jump remake, Skylar Astin's new role on Grey's Anatomy, and the first batch of Oscar presenters — and trivia.
