Ep 423 | Ben Affleck & Matt Damon’s Michael Jordan Movie Shoots Bricks | Shaq Panders to Angel Reese

“Michael Jordan’s mama negotiated the whole Nike deal? OK.” Jason dunks on Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s “fact-based drama” about Michael Jordan, “Air.” The plot dramatizes Nike’s pursuit of "His Airness," casting Jordan’s mom, played by Viola Davis, as the key figure in making the deal that changed sports marketing and the fashion world forever. There's just one problem: It didn’t go down that way. Jason refers to it as “The Woman King Part II” and calls it another example of Hollywood’s obsession with matriarchal culture. “Fearless” contributors Steve Kim, Shemeka Michelle, and Anthony Walker share their thoughts on Affleck’s adaptation of actual events. Plus, Steve weighs in on the latest absurdity to slip from Shaquille O’Neal’s mouth. Shaq says that Angel Reese is the greatest athlete ever to play at LSU. Stop the pander. And in Tennessee Harmony, Anthony and Virgil Walker discuss the disturbing video of the Dalai Lama kissing a child and telling him to “suck my tongue.” What is going on, and why are people defending his behavior?
