From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

The Rip is the Netflix thriller of the moment, and frankly, it's a very good one. It's a new R-rated affair with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, in which the two Boston sons play corrupt Miami cops who wrestle over the seizure of $20 million in cartel money. It isn't a cinematic revolution by any stretch. But if you're mindlessly browsing Netflix and need something spicy to keep you from doomscrolling, The Rip is just what the doctor ordered.

To achieve that physique, Damon said he cut one thing out of his diet. "I literally, just because of this other thing I did with my doctor, stopped eating gluten," Damon said. "I used to walk around between 185 and 200. I did that whole movie at 167. And I haven't been that light since high school. So it was a lot of training and a really strict diet."
