The War Over the Secret Nine-Hour Prince Documentary

‌ Matt is joined by Sasha Weiss , deputy editor at New York Times, to talk about the battle over the nine-hour multipart Prince documentary helmed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Ezra Edelman (O.J.: Made in America) that is at risk of never releasing. They dive into Sasha's latest reporting, which revealed how this project was stranded after a surprising objection from the late music icon's dueling estates that the film is too long. They talk about Netflix's role in this battle, what the doc reveals about Prince, and whether there is more to this story. Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the viewership numbers for the next six months on Netflix.
