Joe Carnahan: On Directing Matt Damon & Ben Affleck in THE RIP, Behind-the-Scenes of His Hit Netflix Thriller, and Super Bowl Excitement

from General Meeting with Becky Sloviter

WHAT AN HONOR. For Episode 21, Becky is joined by an old friend—who just happens to be the filmmaker behind the biggest movie on the planet, Netflix’s THE RIP, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Writer/director Joe Carnahan (THE GREY, NARC, SMOKIN' ACES) sits down with Becky for his first interview following the film's huge opening weekend—and for their first in-person hang in over 20 years—breaking down the making of his latest propulsive, tense, and emotional thriller. The conversation also veers, inevitably, into Super Bowl talk, their shared love of MIDNIGHT RUN (we are who we are), and a little reminiscing about the old days. Host: Becky SloviterGuest: Joe Carnahan - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0138620/If you enjoyed this podcast, please follow, share, like, comment, all the things - thank you for your support!Check out our episodes on YouTube as well! https://www.youtube.com/@generalmeetingpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/generalmeetingpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@generalmeetingpodWebsite: https://www.generalmeetingpod.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
