In this episode of the show, our December retrospective of Ben Affleck's directorial efforts comes to a close. It also puts a bow on the entire year of going through a Director Zodiac of sorts and sets the stage for the next year as well. But more on that later. In this conversation you will hear us talk about Air, the 2023 brand-o-pic about the creation of the iconic shoe for Michael Jordan and his signing a contract with Nike. We discuss the vagaries of independent financing in the age of streaming, the idea of staging a biopic with an iconic character lurking in the shadows and essentially making a movie about a bunch of guys who went to work on a weekend. We also discuss old NBA trivia, nuances of working for different-sized companies, and using the setting of the 80's as a character.
Tune in and enjoy!
