Sean FennesseyHOST
New film from Paul Greengrass, who is really one of the most successful directors of the 21st century.
Sean FennesseyHOST
D- directed two Bourne movies.
Sean FennesseyHOST
He directed United 93, Captain Phillips, um, Sunday Bloody Sunday, a number, number of very, very good films.
Sean FennesseyHOST
This new movie stars Andrew Garfield, Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Johnny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, Katherine Waterston.
Sean FennesseyHOST
Because it was Paul Greengrass doing shaky cam digital c-
Amanda DobbinsHOST
Yeah
Sean FennesseyHOST
... photography Bourne-style action but in the 1300s with Andrew Garfield and Cosmo Jarvis destroying people.
Sean FennesseyHOST
And I was so into it and so locked in.
Nick DigilioHOST
Yeah.
Steve ProkopyGUEST
Um, Greengrass, who also gave us stuff like three Jason Bourne movies and Green Zone and Captain Phillips, uh, is, is a master of chaotic large-scale action set pieces.
Steve ProkopyGUEST
Which in this film are made all the more difficult to follow because all the peasants are covered in muddy rags and have varying degrees of facial hair.
Steve ProkopyGUEST
But still, the action is, I th- I thought pretty easy to follow, as are the strategies used by both sides.
WestyHOST
You don't quite know what's going on.
WestyHOST
If Jason Bourne's gonna kill you, you're never gonna know about it.
MattHOST
Mm.
WestyHOST
And that's the whole point of this.
MattHOST
So the idea for The Bourne Identity begins appropriately enough with the man who couldn't remember what he'd been doing.
MattHOST
In 1971, Robert Ludlum's first novel, The Scarlatti Inheritance, was published, and he was so overjoyed at the news that he blacked out, and when he came to his senses, 12 hours had gone by, and he couldn't account for any of it.
MattHOST
He kept this experience churning away in his mind for years until the idea for Jason Bourne was realized.
LukeHOST
Brilliant.
Katie WalshPANELIST
So Paul Greengrass is known for his more modern day action thrillers.
Katie WalshPANELIST
He's made a bunch of Bourne films.
Katie WalshPANELIST
He made Captain Phillips.
Katie WalshPANELIST
United 93.
ClaytonHOST
I mean, it's Greengrass, so unless it's a...
ClaytonHOST
What was that franchise that he was the mastermind for? The Bourne movies.
ClaytonHOST
Unless it's a Bourne movie, or at least a Bourne sequel, the thought is they're going for some awards.
ClaytonHOST
Yes.
ClaytonHOST
Right? Because Greengrass makes award-worthy films most of the time.
Mike FeinbergPANELIST
And the hot take is this.
Mike FeinbergPANELIST
In the film series which bears his name, Jason Bourne is the villain.
Mike FeinbergPANELIST
And if the audience should be rooting for anyone, it is the heroic CIA and JSOC operatives who are trying to kill him where he stands and the shadowy bureaucrats directing them to do so.
Mike FeinbergPANELIST
And it's a pretty simple rationalization.
Mike FeinbergPANELIST
I don't know that I even need five minutes to Jason Bourne is sent on a mission to conduct an assassination on a yacht pursuant to a covert action finding.
Mike FeinbergPANELIST
There's no allegation that this is an illegal use of JSOC or CIA assets.
Mike FeinbergPANELIST
It's gone through the processes it needs to go through in order to be legal under U.S. law.
Scott R. AndersonHOST
I love it.
Ray StekanisHOST
You get a group of people together, like in Saw 2 through 5, and here's his group and how many of them get out.
Ray StekanisHOST
The Punisher, Billy Butcher, Katniss Everdeen, Sidney Prescott, Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jason Bourne, Dr. Robert Langdon from The Da Vinci Code, Jason Todd, and Ellen Ripley.
Ray StekanisHOST
Who from there escapes the Jigsaw scenario?
William SchmidtGUEST
Ripley.
Ray StekanisHOST
Yeah, I'm assuming Billy Butcher's not powered up.
Ray StekanisHOST
This is a combination of people who are the most teamwork-oriented and the people who are the least teamwork-oriented.
Ray StekanisHOST
Look, the Punisher, Billy Butcher, Jason Todd and Jason Bourne, and Dr. Ian Malcolm as well...
Ray StekanisHOST
They're all for themselves.
RoyHOST
Campbell was good.
RoyHOST
I liked him better than, and I like, what's his name? Jason Bourne.
RoyHOST
What's his name? Matt Damon.
RoyHOST
I like Matt Damon.
Ryan CooperHOST
You know, the the what jumped out to me and what i was you know going back and reading bits of the poem and you know wikipedia articles and stuff but odysseus in the movie is not very much like odysseus in the poem uh in the poem he's a he's a tricky bastard that's kind of his whole thing like he's a liar and a cheater and and just like glories in in getting his way through through being smart and get and and tricking people that's why athena likes him so much because she's just like that too Whereas Matt Damon is just Matt Damon.
Ryan CooperHOST
He's playing Jason Bourne in Ancient Greece.
Ryan CooperHOST
But, I mean, that's one of many comparisons you can make, but...
Ryan CooperHOST
To me, that's not a particularly compelling like argument.
Craig CartonHOST
You know how that goes.
Craig CartonHOST
You've seen enough Jason Bourne movies.
Craig CartonHOST
I have.
Craig CartonHOST
By the way, one of the great things about Labor Day for me is the Rocky...
Craig CartonHOST
Bowinkle? The full day of Rocky on Sunday into the full day of Jason Bourne movies on Monday.
Craig CartonHOST
Okay.
Craig CartonHOST
One of the best farts
Craig CartonHOST
And then a little break overnight.
