Netflix Denies Repeating Plot Notes for The Rip

0:00Entertainment Store is making news on March 19th. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck recently claimed Netflix gave them odd notes for their upcoming movie The Rip. They said the streamer wanted them to repeat the plot three or four times. That was supposedly to help viewers following along on phones while multitasking. But top Netflix executives are pushing back hard, insisting nothing like that happened. The comments surfaced back in January during a chat on the Joe Rogan experience. The actors were there promoting the thriller. Damon explained the feedback was meant for distracted audiences. The idea caught fire online right away. It even inspired laughs at the Oscars, host Conan O'Brien and Sterling K. Brown did a sketch poking fun at it. They imagined old classics like Casablanca with non-stop plot reminders, Netflix folks washed and chuckled along. Now executives are setting the record straight. One leader said there's no policy for repeating stories in their shows or films.

1:00The chief content officer called the claim offensive to creators. She added that filmmakers wouldn't accept bad advice like that anyway. A drama VP revealed their boss actually cracks down on too much explaining, dubbing her the exposition police. This exchange has put the rip in the spotlight ahead of its release. Expect more buzz as the back and forth continues. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible. When you need a moment alone, just lay back and listen. S-O-L-I-SOLY-PILLOW.COM
