Ben Affleck Slams Jon Stewart for Spoiling Gone Girl, Being a "Copycat"—Watch Now!

Bros don't spoil other bros' movies—right, Jon Stewart?

The Daily Show host might have intentionally done just that to Ben Affleck Tuesday, when, after receiving a "little bro hug" that made him feel "like your son after a little league game," he "ruined" the endings of Gone Girl and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

"Don't give anything away," the Oscar winner, 42, warned. So when Stewart went ahead and gave two theoretically possible endings to Gone Girl, which hits theaters Friday, and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which isn't out until March 2016, Affleck was not exactly amused.

"What the f--k!" he jokingly scolded Stewart. "Are you kidding me? I have a f--king talk with you five minutes ago in the thing, like, 'Hey we're in show business, cut me in on the thing,' and you put it on the show!"

"You did not say, 'Don't tell everybody on the show,'" Stewart quipped back.

That wasn't the only point of mock contention between Affleck and Stewart, though! The Argo director joked that Stewart's directorial debut, Rosewater, was a riff of his award-winning film. "You know I did a movie about Iran, right?" he asked, telling the Daily Show host, "I'm trying to think if there's a less babyish word than 'copycat.'"

Don't fret, though! "It's actually cool," he conceded laughingly. "Don't worry about it! It's fine!"

Of course it is—big bros don't mind sharing.
