## Resource

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. Music credit: Happy and Fun Kids Jazz by Alex Productions- (Free Music Archive), (cc by-nd)
