Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were kids when they met in Cambridge, Massachusetts; they were Hollywood rookies when they won an Oscar for their screenplay for "Good Will Hunting." And now, in their joint production company's first feature, they're back together on screen in "Air," the based-on-true-events story of how Nike created a basketball shoe around a talented but untried NBA rookie, Michael Jordan. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with Affleck and Damon about their decades-long friendship, and about collaborating on a story of how heaven and earth were moved to sell a sneaker.

  • “If you love the people at work…you probably have a pretty good life.” Spot on by Ben!
  • Don’t usually see Ben so animated. The movie looks good. Definitely plan to go see it. These guys have not only survived Hollywood, but flourished. Kudos
  • @abadstroller
    Seeing these two guys together never fails to make me smile.
  • @RM-nj8nj
    Creating a production company together that aims to address the disparity in artist compensation is to be commended. Wishing these guys continued success!
  • @KarimJovian
    I LOOOOVE the idea of actors equity. It's time the team that make movies happen see royalties and what they deserve to.
  • @Billyoutz
    Two good men, two nice men, two mentally gifted men, two very good actors, and two good friends for life. I like both and have enjoyed the majority of their movies. We need more Afflecks and Damon's.
  • Giving the film crews a bigger share of pie than normal making the production's objective so great! Go Damon, Go Affleck!
  • @lazarfranco6029
    You can literally tell on Affleck how happy ,content he is! Good for him.
  • @jennywu73
    This is the Ben I’m used to seeing. His love of producing films brings him so much joy.
  • @cooljt1998
    It’s crazy they both had such different but prolific careers since GWH….Damon was a box office force and afflack became a critically acclaimed director
  • @alfblue4734
    Its so cool to see these guys still friends after all these years!!!
  • We need our friends more often than we think. I don't know why life becomes so isolated once we have families
  • @pointblack808
    No one can deny that what these guys did is remarkable. One was 25, the other 27 when they wrote one of the best scripts Hollywood had ever seen. A tour de force, a stroke of genius from two creative minds. Even if they've reached their peak at that moment, you gotta give respect where respect is due.
  • @RyanHLee-nc7hg
    It's so important to see friendships like this. I think back to people like Jack Benny and George Burns, and later, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, and Bob Newhart and Don Rickles, and Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. These friendships really do stand the test of time and get deeper as the years go on. They give me hope for the future with my own friends.
  • Affleck is a very good director and when his heart is in it a good actor... Damon is almost always great in his roles... Viola Davis is fantastic....looking forward to this movie.
  • @AtomicAdams
    Love these guys. 7 Oscar nominations in 25 years between them, a dozen huge franchises, and wins for Best Screenplay and Best Picture - not even acting - overall. Real, true, committed filmmakers. In it for the long-haul. Look at how both spoke about the movie business a decade ago. Two decades ago. Three decades ago. They saw it coming and stuck with it through all the changes, still focusing on making great stuff together. I wish we had more of that.
  • Matt and Ben have proven over the years that “friends are better than money”
