I was waiting for this. Ultimate BIG 3 podcast would be like BS, Damon and Affleck.

I don’t know if it would throw off the chemistry but I feel like adding russilo with Damon and afflek might make it really fun. Bill by himself sometime ends up too vanilla
Damon's memory is amazing.... After years of seeing Actors talk about sport that make you cringe, he is impressive...

As a die hard Yankees fan I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast! Gotta respect a guy who knows his sports as much as Matt does.
Love this! Listened to this twice. Bill with the great hangout chat and Damon with an impressive memory.
Matt Damon is just a good dude👏

True, one of the few actors you can actually listen to. For some reason people think of them as artists when most of them are just pretty faces that somehow ended up in a success loop
Damon is a great interview, Simmons did a Podcast with Matt a few years ago. It was just as good. I’m surprised Ben Affleck hasn’t done one with Simmons yet.

Matt Damon is my favorite yapper regarding films and production
The story at 9.04 is so good and so interesting. I really liked that
Matt has little Robin Williams moments where his action speeds up and gets kinda hyperactive. Kind of heartwarming.
@29:58 “He told me to sit down and shut the fuck up.” lolllllll
Rounders baby one of the best movies all time. Its great stand alone, love the world it was it set in east coast atl city.
That Phil Jackson story is so great
I just love the Bourne Movies!!!
My wife and I love all 3 of the Oceans movies.
Everyone looks a combination of sunburnt and hungover....was it a big night in LA baby?! 😁👍
I agree with Bill, I always think of Leo and Damon as rivals. Probably because of The Departed, but their careers have become almost the exact same. Both are freaking brilliant actors, but there's a rivalry there for sure.

I fucking love movies and being able to hear from big names like this talking at length about their processes is tantamount to porn for me.

Do another Louie interview. The old grantland interview was phenomenal. And it's great to see Damon talking in depth about movies
just a couple of guys talking, cool

Always worth listening to Matt Damon but as I know mearly nothing about American sports I was lost pretty early on! :)
Interesting that he and Wahlberg have the same agent: Allegedly Damon got the role in the OCEANS movies because Mark turned down it down.
@kevinw712
3 жыл бұрын
no, not turned it down. Clooney did originally have Wahlberg in mind for the Linus role since they'd just come off a good working experience in The Perfect Storm, but Wahlberg was already committed to Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake. A decision I'm sure he has no regrets over whatsoever lol.. just shows you how much of this business gets played out just from lucky timing, radically altered the rest of Damon's career. Wahlberg's plenty busy and successful, but still. Clooney in fact even had great desire and intention on having Noah Wyle part of the Ocean's team (which part's never been known, my best guess is Livingston Dell), but again foiled by scheduling. Wyle had way too much "ER" stuff in that span. Though Clooney had been off entirely being a movie star for like 3yrs, he and Wyle always had a great working relationship and friendship that stayed. Don't forget he had Wyle in the role of the President's Russian interpreter in the special live staging of "Fail Safe" in 2000 that Clooney produced.

It was Browner, not Talib
funny thing given that Fincher story he tells about the extra on Gone Girl, there's a scene in Fight Club that Fincher, Pitt and Norton when even talking together on the DVD's commentary track, Fincher chuckles pointing out what is to be fair some rather broad physical overacting. when Norton and HBC first talk at the one meeting, two other group members in the background supposed to be comforting each other, one looks like he's more convulsing than crying.

People sleep on Browner , he was huge for the Pats . Seattle WR Chris Matthews was killing the Pats in the 1st Half - straight torching Kyle Arlington. Browner went to BB @ Halftime & said “I’m takin Matthews “ . The 6’4” WR went from SB MVP with +100Yards & a TD to 1 catch for 3 yards against Browner . Furthermore, as you stated it was Browner’s Jam on Kearse , not allowing him off the Line & therefore unable to Pick Butter , that made the whole play possible. Brady was sensational , Edelman ,Vereen ,& Gronk came up big , Butler’s INT will forever live in SB lore , but without Browner shutting down Matthews & the Jam on Kearse , Seattle would’ve won

Weird how he never mentioned Potente by name. He talked about her for several minutes but it was only "her" and "she". Was there bad blood there between them? It's one of my favorite movies all time so it's sad if that is the case.

It was Browner, but not because Talib hadn't joined yet. This was their first season without Talib. They'd replaced him with Revis, after Talib went to the Broncos.
I was praying they would address the awful shaky direction of Borne III (a director that uses camera "shakes" to add tension) that made me physically sick and I had to leave the theater within 15 minutes.

I really don't like most Kubrick movies. He was a master of visuals. You can't argue with that. But the pacing of his movies was almost snail like. 2001, Eyes Wide Shut and the Shining would put a coke addict to sleep. And I flat out hated Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket. They were just too disturbing.
