Ben Affleck is sounding off on how movies are being made in today’s age of Netflix and other streaming platforms, which offer an ever-expanding glut of content.
The actor, producer and director, who is starting a new film studio of his own with friend and colleague Matt Damon alongside RedBird Capital Partners, shared his take on Netflix’s approach to moviemaking, which he likened to an “assembly line.”
Making films “is a thing that requires attention and dedication and work and it resists the sort of assembly line process,” Affleck shared in reference to Netflix, while attending the New York Times 2022 DealBook Conference last week.

“[Netflix’s head of original films] Scott Stuber is a really talented, smart guy who I really like…but it’s an impossible job,” he added.
The “Argo” star also said that if you ask Netflix co-CEO and chairman Reed Hastings about their ambitious approach of making 50 great movies, “he’d say, ‘Hey, we went for quantity to establish a footprint.’ I’m sure there’s wisdom in that and I’m sure they had a great strategy, but I would have said, ‘How are we going to make 50 great movies a year? How is that possible?’ There’s no committee big enough. There aren’t enough – you just can’t do it.”
Affleck acknowledged that “there’s (a) bigger audience for action movies than there is for small dramas. I get that. Certain genres play more broadly and you can’t not be mindful of that. But let’s do a good one, let’s surprise the audience, let’s make them care about it.”
At Artists Equity, which is being branded as a creator-led studio, Affleck and company hope to reimagine the relationships between studios, artists and crews working in the industry.

As seen in Variety, Artists Equity already has a first project in production – a yet-to-be-titled drama about the beginnings of Nike’s incredibly popular Air Jordan sneaker brand. Written and directed by Affleck, the film stars Damon as the executive who landed the endorsement deal for the shoe with Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan.
Sometimes a thriller is just a little too on the nose, and it loses its ability to generate suspense because you already know all of the beats going into it. 2001’s The Glass House is a masterclass in setting you up for what you already know is going to happen, which is a shame because it’s acted and shot well, but its screenplay never allows the viewer to read between the lines. It’s your classic story about two teenagers getting adopted by their wealthy godparents and given a living situation that seems too good to be true.
As you would expect, everything seems too good to be true because it is. The Glass House makes the fatal mistake of laying all of its cards on the table far too early to allow for a satisfying payoff, and since things escalate quickly, its entire premise gets pushed into absurd territory before you even realize that the antagonists have the last name Glass and live inside of a literal glass house. If you find yourself wondering, “What could possibly go wrong here?” you’ll figure it out quickly.
Those Who Live In Glass Houses …
Showing its namesake in both a figurative and painfully literal sense, The Glass House wastes no time setting up its conflict. Sixteen-year-old Ruby (Leelee Sobieski) and her 11-year-old brother Rhett Baker are orphaned when their parents, David (Michael O’Keefe) and Grace (Rita Wilson), are tragically killed in a car wreck after celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. After the funeral, Ruby and Rhett learn that they’re going to live with Terry (Stellan Skarsgard) and Erin (Diane Lane) Glass, an exceedingly wealthy couple who go way back with the Baker family.
Before transitioning to their new living situation, Ruby is informed by her parents’ trust fund lawyer, Alvin Begleiter (Bruce Dern), that she and her brother will never have to worry about money as adults, thanks to their parents’ smart financial decisions before their deaths.
Almost immediately, you can tell something is off. Terry makes sexual passes at Ruby, while Rhett is bought off with the newest video game systems to keep him distracted from the familial and financial malfeasance that’s about to take place. Terry owns a luxury car dealership, and Ruby witnesses him being threatened by loan sharks after he talks about his new “personal piggy bank.” Erin, a prominent physician in the area, is seen on more than one occasion shooting up drugs and blacking out in the living room, which she always explains away as her daily insulin needed to treat her diabetes.
Though the authorities eventually get involved in The Glass House, there’s not much that Alvin can do when Ruby voices her concerns to him. Ruby’s private conversations with Alvin, the social workers, as well as her personal emails, are seemingly reviewed by Terry ahead of time, resulting in him always having the perfect answer when questioned about the family dynamic by a third party. We know the Glass family is up to no good, and we know Ruby and Rhett are in danger, so there isn’t much tension baked into the movie. The setup makes no other outcome possible, which leaves you hoping there’s something you’re missing that could actually generate suspense.

When In Doubt, Listen To The Film Score
The biggest issue I take with The Glass House is its patronizing sound design and film score. The music itself is fine and exactly what you’d expect from a thriller, but it also serves as a blunt cue for every sinister thing happening inside the Glass residence. Ruby snoops around while Terry watches her every move, waiting to confront her, so of course the string section is brooding and plucky, with the occasional dissonant piano notes stabbing through the mix. Every single crescendo exists to tell you that a jump scare or reveal is coming.
Terry and Erin are picture-perfect during the day, but the second the sun sets, they’re arguing behind closed doors, and Terry starts doing his dirty work. Ruby begins the film as a troubled, directionless student going through a rebellious phase, and then she’s suddenly the most perceptive teenager you’ve ever seen, clocking all of Terry’s problematic behavior and skillfully manipulating her way out of a horrifying home life.
The Glass House, which is supposed to function as a thriller, has zero thrills because every trope is used to its fullest, and all of them lead to their most obvious conclusion. If you’ve never seen a thriller, it works as a solid primer for newcomers or younger audiences because it wears all of its conventions on its sleeve, which isn’t inherently a bad thing if you’re just trying to familiarize yourself with the beats before moving on to something more refined. If you’re already deep into the genre, though, this one probably won’t offer much beyond frustration.
As of this writing, The Glass House is streaming on Netflix.
Hudson, 24, shared a screenshot of an email notifying her of a canceled order from the Pro Football Hall of Fame online store via Instagram on Tuesday, February 3. Hudson appeared to order three iron-on patches featuring the organization’s logo for $9.99 each.
The order “was canceled because of unforeseen circumstances and your payment has not yet been refunded,” the email noted.
The former college cheerleader captioned the post, “Hey @profootballhof, what were the ‘unforeseen circumstances’? 🤣.”
Bill Belichick‘s relationship with Jordon Hudson has everyone’s attention for their 48-year age gap. The couple sparked romance rumors in 2023 when they were spotted on multiple public outings. Several NFL players subsequently poked fun at his love life. “Belichick’s a smooth operator,” Travis Kelce said on a June 2024 episode of his and Jason […]
ESPN reported on January 26 that Belichick, 73, did not receive enough votes required to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, citing sources close to the process. The Athletic corroborated ESPN’s report on January 27.

The former New England Patriots coach guided the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories out of nine appearances during his tenure from 2000 to 2023. Since 2025, he has been head coach of the University of North Carolina college football team.
A spokesperson for the Hall of Fame previously declined to comment on Belichick’s inclusion in this year’s class.
“The Pro Football Hall of Fame does not comment on the voting of the Selection Committee and awaits the unveiling of the Class of 2026 at NFL Honors on February 5 in San Francisco,” the spokesperson told ESPN.
For decades, Bill Belichick was best known as the celebrated NFL coach of the New England Patriots, the team he brought to Super Bowl victory six times during his 24-year tenure. Sports fans respected his gruff, no-nonsense style (some of his most memorable catchphrases include “Do your job” and “No days off”). But in 2024, […]
Many of Belichick’s former colleagues came to his defense after the news broke.
“There had to be some voters that have some ill will against Coach Bill Belichick, for whatever reason,” former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said on the Thursday, January 29, episode of the Today show. “But that should be, you know, overlooked. It’s all about résumé, and Coach Belichick has the résumé. I mean, eight Super Bowls … this guy has the résumé.”

Gronkowski, 36, continued, “And on top of it, how many lives he has touched and how many opportunities he has given to former players and coaches as well? I mean, Coach Belichick 100 percent deserved to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He’s clearly gonna get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he was definitely snubbed over the last couple days.”
“I just think that to me, I don’t understand it,” Tom Bradysaid. “I mean, I was with him every day. If he’s not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there’s really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it. He’s incredible. There’s no coach I’d rather play for. If I’m picking one coach to go out there, to win a Super Bowl, give me one season, I’m taking Bill Belichick.”
Belichick and Hudson, who have a 48-year age gap, made their romance official in October 2024.

After Belichick’s apparent snub, comedian Jimmy Kimmel cracked a joke about the couple’s relationship during his monologue on an episode of his late night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“Bill Belichick is a bit of a jerk and a bit of a cheater, but he absolutely should have been voted into the Hall of Fame,” Kimmel quipped last week. “The guy has been winning Super Bowls longer than his girlfriend has been alive.”
Kimmel previously joked about the couple’s age gap in April 2025, telling viewers, “I got to say, I love this relationship. I can’t get enough of those two. It’s like they need a reality show. It’s like The Golden Bachelor meets the regular Bachelorette.”
A24 is continuing to build its horror series catalogue. A new report reveals that the indie studio has officially secured the rights to bring the cinematic world of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to the small screen courtesy of executive producer, Glen Powell, and helmer, JT Mollner (Strange Darling, The Long Walk). Sadly, if you were expecting the Twisters star to be one of the poor unfortunate souls terrorized by Leather Face, we reported back in October that he won’t be starring, but instead will stick to his behind-the-scenes role.
Powell will be joined as an EP by his fellow Barnstorm collaborator, Dan Cohen, Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee and Steven Schneider, Image Nation’s Ben Ross, Exurbia Films’ Kim Henkel, and Stuart Manashil, with Exurbia’s Ian Henkel and Pat Cassidy producing. With deep ties to the beloved franchise, the former Henkel was a co-writer of the movie that started it all and has since served as a producer on a handful of the many installments that followed. In addition to the A24 series, the folks at ImageNation are also backing a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre feature, but Mollner has been clear that he won’t be involved with the project in any way.
In a statement paired with the incredibly exciting news, Powell said,

“The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of my favorite films. It defined a generation of horror films and over half a century after its release, it remains one of the definitive movies of my home state. I’m honored to have Barnstorm help bring in a new chapter for such an iconic title and franchise. With a marquee home in A24 and visionary filmmaker with JT Mollner, alongside our top shelf producing partners, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better team for such a dream property.”
What Other Horror Icons Is A24 Bringing Back?
Over the last several years, A24 has brought audiences several modern horror masterpieces, including Ari Aster’s Hereditary, Danny and Michael Philippou’s Talk to Me, Rose Glass’s Saint Maud, and Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow. While they continue their cinematic genre takeover, the studio has continued to grow their slate as they reach into the episodic world. In addition to the new Texas Chain Saw Massacre series, they’ve also got their irons in the fire for a Friday the 13th prequel series. Hailing from Brad Caleb Kane, the project, titled Crystal Lake, will focus on the younger years of Jason Voorhees’ (Callum Vinson) life, with Linda Cardellini in the leading role as his over-protective mother, Pamela Voorhees.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates surrounding Powell and Mollner’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre series.

Netflix has a plethora of long-running shows with large audiences, and more are released every weekend. One of the streamer’s first big hits was Stranger Things, which began in 2016 and didn’t wrap up until last month with an explosive and emotional finale. Netflix has plenty of shows like Stranger Things with massive stakes set in the sci-fi and fantasy genres, but it also has more grounded shows that have picked up large fan bases. The streamer is no stranger to medical dramas and police procedurals, and while these shows don’t always make it off the ground, there is a legal thriller that’s become one of the streamer’s biggest sensations.
Ahead of Pro Bowl Week, and with even bigger NFL moments on the horizon, Christian McCaffrey and his younger brother, Luke McCaffrey, took a rare pause from the grind to reflect on the foundation that shaped them long before the league. On Monday, February 2, in Colma, CA, the brothers clocked in together at Raising Cane’s for a brother-versus-brother “Raising Cane’s Challenge,” greeting fans, serving Box Combos, and going head-to-head in playful competitions. But once the cameras slowed, the conversation turned deeply personal, centering on brotherhood, childhood competition, and the role models who shaped their journey.

Christian McCaffrey Says Sharing The NFL Journey With His Brother Is ‘Such A Blessing’
Raising Cane’s
For Christian, who will headline the 2026 Pro Bowl Games in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX, the moment felt surreal, not because of the spotlight, but because he was sharing it with his brother.
Christian said that growing up, playing in the NFL was always the dream, and now, being able to share that journey with his brother, training together and navigating the league side by side, feels especially meaningful.
“We look back on our childhood all the time,” Christian said at the press conference, where The Blast was in attendance. “Everything we did, we did together.”

Thinking back to the goals he had in mind, CMC told press, “I just wanted to make it to the NFL, and now I have a brother playing at the same time, being able to train with him and do all those things in the offseason together and kind of talk the same talk and be in the same boat, it’s such a blessing.”

Christian And Luke McCaffrey On How Competing Together Pushed Them Forward
Raising Cane’s
That constant competition, both brothers agreed, was the engine behind their success. “Not a little, there’s a lot,” Christian said when asked if rivalry still exists. “That’s all we ever did was compete. If there was snow outside, it was snow football. If not, it was indoor basketball, whatever it was, we were competing.”
Now, with both playing at the NFL level, that competitive edge hasn’t disappeared. It’s just evolved. “Every time you compete, you probably learn a little bit about yourself and learn a little bit about each other,” Christian explained. “A lot of people don’t have that at this stage, and we do. That piece in your life is so special.”

Luke echoed the sentiment, calling their current reality something they once only imagined. “We grew up kind of pretending to do this,” he said. “Playing in the NFL, going against each other. It’s cool when you get here and realize you never got to stop doing that, you kind of kept it alive.”

How A Shared Football IQ Keeps The McCaffrey Brothers Connected
Raising Cane’s
Despite playing different positions, the brothers continue to push each other forward. “He plays receiver,” Christian said. “I run routes out of the backfield, do all these different things. I take a lot from him. He’s an unbelievable receiver. I’m always watching, trying to pick up things that he does.”
That exchange goes both ways, rooted in mutual respect and a shared football IQ shaped by years of backyard battles and family drills. “That’s what makes it fun,” Christian added. “There’s such a healthy competition.”

Christian McCaffrey On The Discipline Behind His Longevity
Raising Cane’s
That same discipline and competitiveness carry into the way Christian McCaffrey approaches his body and longevity. Across the 2025 season, including the playoffs, McCaffrey logged 450 total touches while helping power a 49ers team to 13 wins. It marked the third time in his nine-year NFL career that he crossed the 400-touch threshold, a reflection of the rigorous training, recovery, and maintenance that allows him to sustain it.
Article continues below advertisement
That approach extends beyond traditional football prep, with McCaffrey constantly evaluating anything that could impact his health or performance, even conversations around emerging factors like EMF exposure. “As somebody who obsesses over my body and being healthy all the time, I look into everything, and that’s definitely something you’ll look into,” McCaffrey told the San Francisco Chronicle ahead of the Pro Bowl.
He added, “If it is something that can affect you, it’s worth looking into and seeing how to maybe combat it … I’ll look into the way I train, where I train, how I train, when I train, what shoes you wear, your equipment, that can have an effect on things. Your sleep schedule can have an effect on things. What you eat at night. All these things, you’re fighting for the 0.1% of betterment.”

Regarding the decision to separate from Bradley, she stated that it came after she went to BravoCon 2025 without him. According to her, “It was maybe the first time that I felt like if he wasn’t [in my life], I was going to be okay.

She added that after they talked, she “felt okay and happy and fine and like there were things for me in the future.”

NLE Choppa has stunned fans after seemingly sharing disheartening words about Blueface‘s son, Chrisean Jr., in his response to the rapper calling him out and telling him to “squabble up.”
More On Blueface Telling NLE Choppa To Squabble Up
As The Shade Room previously reported, NLE Choppa recently found himself in headlines two weeks ago. This, when the mother of his eldest child, Mariah, alleged that CPS was called over his care of their daughter, Clover. At the time, NLE alleged that two weeks ago was the first time he had seen his daughter since September 2025. In short, Mariah accused NLE of failing to feed Clover, take her to school, and even implied that she may have suffered sexual abuse while in NLE’s care.
Afterward, NLE shared a few tweets about being done taking the “high road.”
Then, he released a new song called ‘Set The Record Straight,’ calling out Mariah and Marissa Da’Nae, the mother of his son, Chozen.

But Mariah and Da’Nae weren’t the only ones to catch shots in NLE’s songs. Apparently, Blueface noticed that he caught a stray, too.
Then, Blue appeared to send a shot back NLE’s way with a caption shared online.
Ultimately, on Wednesday, February 3, Blueface called NLE out, telling him to “squabble up.”
NLE Choppa Seemingly Shares Disheartening Words About Blueface’s Son Chrisean Jr. In His Response
Later that day, NLE took to his Instagram Story to share now-deleted clips where he suggested that Blueface’s son and either of his sons, Chozen or Icon, lay hands on one another. However, as his speech went on, he seemingly appeared to be speaking about Chrisean Jr., noting that the child may not be able to “hold” his “head up” properly. Additionally, NLE noted that he wouldn’t squabble with Blueface because he believes Blue would benefit from the opportunity and use it to pay off his alleged debts.
Social media users were left stunned by NLE’s comments and slid into TSR’s comment section with their thoughts.
Instagram user @jadorehindii wrote, “nle cancelled . goodbye sir”
While Instagram user @countrycookin1 added, “At this point, I’m sick of this man. Leave these kids out of this.”
