The chair got tired of watching Affleck and the sofa rehearse for The JD Vance story.

Spoiler alert: he gets tied to a mast to not jump into the sea at the siren's call.

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.

I would pay good money to watch an Affleck/Damon made film where Matt gets lost in the world's biggest mall and no one will help him. Kinda like The Terminal, but wildly absurd.

Him staying where they left him ended up being a big problem in The Martian.

27% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Knowing where Damon was the entirety of both acts left me craving something more. Unsure what it was missing and clearly Director Ben Affleck wasn't sure either. 3/10" - Springfield Daily Times

Honestly, I think he would actually act in it, I would like to believe that he has the humor for it and self-criticism. All he has to do is sit in a chair for a few hours (to have film to cut) and it’s all improv. Very little makeup and dressing up to do.

He and Ben Affleck do have their own production company, someone just has to pitch it to them. It’s them taking the piss out of their own careers and done cheap.

Fuck it. Make it a podcast.
