Classic Movies Live – Season 4, Episode 18: Air
April 26, 2023
Do you like basketball? What about basketball shoes? What about Nike internal politics related to basketball shoes?
On this week’s episode of Classic Movies Live!, Pierre and Jeff talk about sports – or rather, sports-adjacent capitalism – as they take on Air, the newest movie about the 80s from 90s dream team Ben Affleck and Matt Damon!
Also starring Chris Tucker, Viola Davis, and Jason Bateman, Air is a movie about Michael Jordan and his influence on the world of sports and celebrity endorsements… but without any appearances by Mr. Jordan himself!
Also on this episode: our hosts reveal their thoughts on Argo, the DC Universe, and which sports teams they root for!
On an unrelated note, the Oilers lost to the Kings 4-3 on the date of recording this episode. That’s relevant to the episode, kind of.
