Michael and Us: Of Shoes and Men

Ben Affleck's AIR (2023) chronicles the wheeling and dealing that led to Michael Jordan signing with Nike, and this unabashed celebration of the world's most famous shoe brand positions the Air Jordan as a victory for trickle-down economics. We discuss the movie that asks the question: "What if you made The Social Network about people who were frickin' epic??"Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
