This week we're grabbing some milk and picking up a Sports Illustrated at the till as we're on our way to Beaverton, Oregon and Nike Headquarters to see if we can sign the greatest ever to the greatest shoe deal ever in Air. Ian & Liam are kicking it old-school as we look at the story behind Nike's pursuit of Michael Jordan prior to the 1984-1985 NBA Season. Do you have to understand and/or follow basketball to access the story? What two things does the film build up as enigmas and why? Where does Matt Damon fit when we discuss the greatest working actors of our time? What else has Ben Affleck brought to the table as director? How does this film use nostalgia and dramatic irony to its advantage. How has this film already proven to be a slam dunk? We'll answer all these questions on Air and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
