never gets old, thank you

I understand what he's saying, but there was no reason to be so cold and callous to a colleague. It's not a "that's showbiz" thing, it's a dominance thing, especially the way he continued to speak over her.

This infuriates me every time I watch it. Since this was released, I never want to see anything Matt Damon is involved in. Never

This a serious podcast. I'm shocked that people are not viewing this. Thanks for sharing this.

“Merit.” Yeah right. White men just want to maintain their power and shut up anyone who they think is getting in their way. What they don’t realize is they’ll be 10x more successful if they listen to perspectives that are different than theirs.

God she was so annoying in this show. Anybody who had a different opinion about anything she would get upset and start drama constantly telling others “I know best I produced 17 movies” Not surprised she got black listed I wouldn’t want to work with someone so small minded and full of ego. Can’t believe people are hating on Matt here. Go watch the show before you make judgements.

It was frustrating to see him talk over her, interrupt her, and basically act like the beacon of knowledge on diversity.

Like Denzel said explained way better diversity is done in the writing

I love how he interrupts her and mansplains to her.

I wanted to see this movie more.

She was so difficult with everything during the show. Wanted to pick people based on race rather than who was the best. I hated this season because of her making it all about race and how dramatic she was constantly.

Can another company create an awards show based on merit? I haven’t watched the oscars in years but I’d like to have a show that actually awards movies by quality instead of wokeness

The US Supreme Court has finally stomped this shitty issue and purged affirmative action, the very thing this video is all about. We can't allow hires based on racism. Quotas are racists. Forcing diversity without merit is racism. Talent, grades and merit must be rewarded, not the skin colour of a human being. Blacks have used this racist excuse for too long; it's time to bring back democracy and equality.

How is he wrong?

People are dumb in the comments. This was a clip from Project Greenlight. A flimmaking competition. They were discussing who should be the winners to direct the film. Effie wanted the directors who were of color to direct solely based on their color. Matt wanted whoever made the best film. Effie was a moron on this show.

Matt, you’re a racist and so is your friend Ben Affleck shame on you

The thing he doesn’t take u def consideration was speaking about Merritt is that a lot of white people have had advantages that people of color have not had. There’s a thing called environmental racism that holds back a lot of people of color. It’s not that white producers just happen to be better, there is a reason . White peoples are giving opportunities in order to build a résumé that is suitable. It’s important to have people of color in those spaces in order for them to get the opportunity to have the proper background in order to be considered elite in filmmaking. In addition to that she made a wonderful point that if your film crew is not diverse, they will not realize some of the detrimental and harmful storylines. They are putting out there.

The fact she kept her mouth shut after that and still got blacklisted from Hollywood for five years tells you everything you need to know about this situation.

Interjections show excitement

Wow... I used too love Jason Bourne.. oh well. I'm out

Dude...Effie and Jason are both THEE WORST!

Harvey Weinstein was a co Director! Any questions yet???

Read Pierre Bourdieu!

The fact that she wants someone to get the part based on race and not on merit eventhough it is a COMPETITION! That is cheating!!!

He’s got a point, you need certain people to play certain roles, a script is usually (not always) written for either a black person, Asian person, white person etc. Ultimately none of that matters behind the making of the film, it’s the best person for the job. Obviously that doesn’t mean there isn’t discrimination against minorities

Mimimi

God I hate this woman.

What I'm hearing is white people can tell black stories better than black people can. Yall hear this too or is it just me?

For the ones who don't know, Matt interrupted Effie while she was talking and said something like "we have diversity in the cast, not in the production". To me that translates to = we show the public some diversity but in reality whites call the shots behind the scenes. effie was blackballed fpr 5 yers, she stated that no one wanted to work with her until another black creative lee daniels fought the studios to put her on his project.

he clearly stated that there so be no diversity on the show...why is that? why only diversity in casting but not the show? only a racist would defend this man. he did not mean they should be chosen on merit that was his way of backtracking he stated there should be NO diversity on the show.

Oh dear, the quick 'shut down' speaks volumes....

This is why black people seem to only play good guys anymore.

Diversity= failure. Why? Because you're hiring someone BASED on something that isnt tangent or qualifications. If you *were* hiring based on talent and qualifications you wouldn't need to call it "diversity". But Hollywood is really stupid...so there's that.

I think it is important to simply consider a different perspective on the producer side. Simply put, someone who does not check the box of a highly educated and westernized straight-white-male who has never been below middle class. They always dominate creative projects, especially in Hollywood. Brown just wants to throw in more diverse people behind the camera which is still a struggle to this day. (Usually below 20% of the industry is diverse behind the camera, my thoughts).

Just came from tiktok to leave hate comments 🙂

Matt is basically saying “social justice and representation are important, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves”. If anyone negates that just because he’s a cis-white male, then you don’t know how to argue, nor deserve to be treated as an adult.

Diversity is full of shit. If its not fun it aint gonna work.

I'd say keep going. Keep film-making more about race/diversity/gender etc... and you'll see how ignoring individual skill/performance/merit will slowly kill the art-form.

Lol imagine filmmaking as a competition... what even is that. How do you measure that?

the point is literally that a more diverse director might do a better job at portraying the characters in the movie aka making the movie better. he literally missed the whole point.

“The Changing rules to the competition”. Well when it comes to understanding how to write for a Black person no one in that room except for the sister would even be able to start to compete. There’s a difference of understanding someone culturally and having a perception of who a people are.

I like how Matt puts words into her mouth. Effie was talking about how it's important for her to have someone who will be sensitive to the story. Of course a good director will worry about that! Matt took it on a tangent about diversity was completely unnecessary.

Culture and merit. That's all it's about and should be about. Screw race/color talk

yea so then we shouldn't care if the writer director camera guy lights guy sound guy are even good at the their job they just need to NOT be white to get the job by what she said

I think white liberals are very racist. I hear white liberals say stuff like black people cannot get an ID. I am thinking, I have seen black with ID, so I know for a fact that black people can get ID.

I came for ben, and that silver tongued cat don't seem to be much talkative. The word on the streets say he has been rather blue, since his Godzilla wife left him.

Wow. I knew Matt was a privileged, myopic man, but it appears he has also been so ferociously insulated from criticism that he is incapable of listening. Also, what an a**hole.

They just agreed?

She needs to shut it and listen to him. He’s Matt Damon, HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT!!!! What has SHE done??? Nothing!

If people really were picked on merit alone than there would be no need for quotas or forced diversity, based on the notion talent would be spread evenly and randomly amongst all humans. If only white males got important jobs that would suggest some bias or only white males are mostly talented. Damon is right to want to pick on merit alone but that's not really what happens in the real world.
