Matt Damon and Ben Affleck shared insights on how streaming platforms like Netflix are influencing film production during a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. Damon highlighted the need for early action sequences and repeated plot explanations to accommodate viewers multitasking with their phones. Affleck countered by citing the success of Netflix's series Adolescence as proof that such tactics are not always necessary.
Matt Damon has voiced strong reservations about the Oscar campaigning process, labeling it 'completely backwards' and 'odd' during a promotional interview for his new Netflix film The Rip. The actor, who has a history of Academy Award success, acknowledged potential benefits for films but prefers to avoid the promotional grind. Despite this, Damon is likely to engage in campaigning again for his role in Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic The Odyssey.
