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 (\u2018O.J.: Made in America\u2019) that is at risk of never releasing. They dive into Sasha\u2019s latest reporting, which revealed how this project was stranded after a surprising objection from the late music icon\u2019s dueling estates that the film is too long. They talk about Netflix\u2019s role in this battle, what the doc reveals about Prince, and whether there is more to this story (2:26). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the viewership numbers for the next six months on Netflix (26:53).\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click here.\n\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Sasha Weiss\n\nProducers: Craig Horlbeck and Jessie Lopez\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
