What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA Netflix film boss is reportedly in the firing line as the streamer cuts jobs, and Page Six says there was an alleged falling out with Ben Affleck.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's the part I want to understand, because the story we have says it's alleged and doesn't say what the falling out was about.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRight, so it's one outlet, one headline, and a lot of people reading between the lines. The layoffs are the solid part.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYour favorite show can lose the people who greenlit it.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLayoffs at that size are rough for the people in the building, whoever ends up in the headline.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYeah. And somebody will still be asked to explain this on a group call.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe group call with the camera off.
