In honor of their new movie, The Rip, we're doing an episode on everyone's favorite Hollywood besties, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. These two honestly warrant their own individual episodes, but Josh and Jack thought it would be fun to tackle their career as a partnership first. It's pretty unique that two friends from Massachusetts not only both broke into the movie industry in a big way, but have managed to have such successful careers. We break it down here on this weeks episode of The Longlist. Enjoy.

Ep 41: Encounters At The End Of The World

Here at The Longlist, we celebrate movies and other pop culture through the storied art of rankings. There are no wrong answers. There are no bad opinions. And hot takes are always encouraged. We love movies and we love talking about them even more. Throughout each episode we’ll dissect a given topic, be it a director, actor, genre, studio, or even just a single movie that we really want to deep dive. And the way we really break down each topic is through a series of rankings, usually in the form of a ”top five,” ranging from serious film criticism to whimsical anecdotes. And finally at the end of each episode, we have our main top five list, which we have deemed the short list. Come for the short list and stay for the long list. Nothing we say will ever be the end all be all. On the contrary, we hope it will encourage similar conversations with you and your friends. We have a lot of fun and we hope you will too.
