Hold onto your popcorn, darlings—filmmaker Mike Binder just spilled the tea on why Steven Spielberg nixed Ben Affleck from a project back in the early 2000s. It all stems from a splashy confrontation involving Spielberg's young son and a fully dressed Affleck at the family pool. According to Binder, this watery drama left Spielberg vowing never to collaborate with the actor.
