Hollywood stars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who star in the Netflix film "The Rip," claim that streaming-service executives instructed them to repeat parts of the plot for people who were scrolling on their phones while watching.

The topic was also the subject of a sketch at the recent Oscars, where there was speculation about how a film like “Casablanca” would turn out if the plot were to be repeated.

"We actually all laughed when we saw it at the Oscars, but there is no such policy. If you watch our films or TV shows, we don't repeat plots," Netflix's head of film Dan Lin said, according to NME.
