  • Academy Award winner Matt Damon reveals to Rich Eisen that the new Ben Affleck-directed movie ‘Air’ wouldn’t have been made without Michael Jordan’s blessing, how big a role one decision by Jordan’s mom played in the rise of the Nike empire, how the company revolutionized the sneaker industry, and shares a story that illustrates MJ’s legendary competitiveness and the lengths he’d go to win at everything.

    I like how Jordan understood the assignment and made one semi-unreasonable demand. He wanted the best actress he could think of to play his mother.

    Matt and Ben are awesome storytellers and it started with Good Will

    Good interview. My family watched the movie this weekend. I grew up a Pistons “Bad Boys” fan, so hating every Jordan was a given. We loved this movie. Knowing the heights MJ would attain, along with the unspeakable pain (senseless death of his father) put MJs career in a better context. The choice to weaving these moments of MJs life throughout the “Sonny speech” and the final credits, transformed a salesman’s pitch into a prophecy fulfilled. Momma did her boy right. Then her son performed as only she and Sonny believed was possible. He was the one.

    Matt Damon is so honest and authentic. God, we need more of this in the world. "No spandex and capes."

    So now I've got my 8 year old niece quoting this movie-- "Spokane Washington. Stockton's too short too..."

    Jason Bateman was incredible too

    • @sdot5389
      @sdot5389 Před rokem

      Bateman plays the same guy with the same delivery and dry sense of humour in every role. He’s good, but he has zero acting range.

    Matt Damon is that actor who is smart and talk with substance. He would be a good director.

      Yes, I saw it twice. Best 2023 movie I've seen so far.

    • @liamg2271
      @liamg2271 Před rokem

      No, it actually wasn't. Let's not act like this was a combination of The Godfather 1&2, Citizen Kane, The Sting, Goodfellas, and the Fugitive. It was boring, not particularly well-acted, and added very little to the actual story other than some "artistic" utter nonsense.

    This movie is great! It reminds, a little bit, of Moneyball.

    • @sandal_thong8631
      @sandal_thong8631 Před rokem

      I was thinking it was like Tom Cruise's movie, Jerry Maguire. Except the agent here was getting in the way of the deal.

    Matt Damon is a great actor. Just don't take financial advice from him.

    Is Nike still employing sweatshop workers?

  • @chriscruz9825
    @chriscruz9825 Před rokem

    Movie made about signing the goat so Nike can sell more shoes ?! Cmon it’s really not a big screen story; unless you’re a sneaker head it was boooooring .

  • @jackjackthompson5771
    @jackjackthompson5771 Před rokem

    The most overplayed storyline ever. Ridiculous

  • @rvrschrs64
    @rvrschrs64 Před rokem

    I'm sure this deal was a big thing in sports shoe culture. But it was nothing new. I was a teacher in a ghetto junior high school in 1969. The kids who lived in the projects would brag about their clothes. I remember one 12 year old bragging about his $27.00 socks! Everyone was proud to have "Chucks", i.e. Chuck Taylor Allstars by Converse.

      It was huge for kids who weren't into basketball. That's the thing.

    I was a big bulls fan starting around 1988-89, had a MJ, Pippen and Rodman jersey, was all ra ra before and during the title runs, even rooted for the Pippen only Bulls when MJ left...I have a pair of custom Air Jordan’s.....I’m not going to see this movie....I lived through this....there’s no need for me to re live the moment....just like I’m a super Patriots fan...again started watching them around 88-89 too....I didn’t go see 80 for Brady! Why ? 🤣😊

    • @sandal_thong8631
      @sandal_thong8631 Před rokem

      Because you don't want movies like those being made.

    • @melev23
      @melev23 Před rokem +1

      You lived it? You just know the story like everyone else. Unless you worked for Nike at the time I don’t think you lived it.

  • @liamg2271

    It's actually a very mediocre film that drags.
