Geez.
Aloha Reject Nation, Greg here.
So if many of you guys know, most of my days are a couple of hours of filming,
and then most of the time it's dedicated to, like, editing and a bunch of other computer work,
often accumulating to like 10 and 12 hours a day.
And on top of that, comfort food is like my life's biggest vice.
But as many of you also know, working out and getting healthier has been a massive component for me this year in particular.
So in this whirlwind, I have found myself a perfect ally for quick, healthy meals.
America's number one meal kit, a meal kit that I have subscribed to prior to ever agreeing
and working with them.
So yes, this is a genuine testimony, and that is, of course, for Hello Fresh.
And Hello Fresh isn't just about ease.
About bringing health and flavor to your doorstep.
And this holiday season, forget about the stress of planning meals for your health-conscious friends,
friends like me, who will breathe down the back of your neck being like, I can't eat that.
That's unhealthy.
So with Hello Fresh, I'm looking forward to hosting holiday dinners that are not only delicious,
but also cater to healthy lifestyles.
Best part, the variety, it is incredible.
I'm pescatarian, so they have these delicious meals,
just like Dejan Onion Crunch Salmon over lemon, broccoli, spaghetti.
And from our more plant-based days to vegan maple carrot power bowls,
they aren't just meals, they're culinary adventures.
I learned the word culinary.
During a long day, the last thing I want to do is spend a while cooking.
And that's where HelloFresh's 15-minute meals are a lifesaver.
They're quick, nutritious, and oh-so-tasty perfect for my non-stop lifestyle.
So why not join me in making this holiday season,
health conscious, and delicious with HelloFresh.

Hey, Reject Nation.
You know, running real rejects is an incredible journey.
It's something I am truly grateful for, but I got to be real with you for one second here.
Managing the business side, especially taxes, to put it lightly, is incredibly overwhelming.
It's like navigating a maze without a map.
And that's where our sponsor Rocket Money comes in.
A sponsor, when approached, I was so excited to work with because I kid you not, just last month, I started using Rocket Money.
Because I needed to sort out this financial puzzle.
And honestly, it's been quite eye-opening.
Not just for taxes, but boy, oh boy, that whole cliche of this app is true.
I discovered apps and subscriptions I have been paying for that I had not used in ages.
It is like finding out you've been leaving lights on in a room that you never used.
So yes, Rocket Money isn't just another app.
It's like a freaking financial guardian angel.
It finds and cancels those forgotten subscriptions, monitors your spending, and even battles
to lower your bills.
Thank God.
It's as if they're personally invested in saving your hard-earned money.
Like, I really try to be on top of my expenses.
But Rocket Money, they show me blind spots.
With a simple tap, I can cancel unnecessary subscriptions.
They even handle the hassle of negotiating with customer services.
A relief, my goodness.
To put it in perspective, Rocket Money has helped over 5 million users.
save an average of $720 a year.
That's more than just numbers.
It's a piece of mind.
So I invite you, my fellow rejects, and taking control of your finances.
So go ahead, visit rocketmoney.com slash rejects.
Once again, that's rocketmoney.com slash rejects.
Let's save together, rocketmoney.com slash rejects.
I really do stand by this app.
Thank you for partnering with us.
Jeez.
Jesus, Christi.
Well, John, what did you think?
I enjoyed these episodes.
I think the third.
one was my favorite but I do think well I don't know actually now that you have
challenged me on this off the dome thought I just threw out here maybe recency
bias is sway I mean Atlantic City was really you know wow didn't think I got so much
pushback on this well you know I mean that suggests to me that maybe you like the
second episode better that's so really I mean yes
I like these both.
I thought that they progressively
started to synthesize
the flavors of Jack Reacher
that make the show
Reacher what it is.
Or at least what I associate.
Well, I don't know.
You know, I think maybe it's all falling apart
and this is the worst episode
I've seen yet.
Why don't you lower my mic?
You know, sure.
No.
It's, of course, my B.
Yeah, no, I liked
the totality of these two episodes
I think I like them both better
than the first one
just in terms of like
impact and enjoyment
of the
I massage the microphone
sure
it's the ASMR for you guys
can I make sure
uh huh
sorry about that
don't be sorry ever
I
I liked that in the second episode
we got more
we got a group scene with everybody
just chilling out
and then we got some personal time
with what is her name again
I need to commit it to memory
the one who you suspect
who is the numbers
oh the hot lady yes
just call that
there's a hot one
yep
I liked getting some
there's Neely and the hot one
Neely and the hot one
not to talk to on Neely's good looks
and and then there's
Sam Rockwell guy
Pretty boy, and Jack Reacher, and well, you know, and then there's Orozco and Sanchez and, uh, I'm tense.
And Frenchy or whatever his name is. And, yeah. And there's New York. New York cop. Anyhow. Yeah, I don't know. By the third episode, it felt a bit more like the balance finally of those, you know, just kind of lived in little nuances and stuff like that, or at least getting closer to that.
flavor that the first season had
with the you know
atmospherics and the character
beats but also continuing
you know this mystery
why do you want to just be the first season
John why can't you just accept the fact that this is a different
season you know just like the books the books
they take place in different locations
and different flares and different ensembles
Jack Reacher is the constant yeah and I guess
Neely and Lee Child writes every book
like it's just totally different author
uh yeah
I'm just
I'm so compelled by your
spa day over here
it's okay I mean it's not the same
obviously but
can you imagine you have a massage
or something like that
everyone's thumbs break
yeah no one can go hard enough on those knots
but yeah I don't know the mystery is mounting
I think it's interesting that we have met
you know the puppet puller
the string puller puppet master
already and is a character who does not seem in as much control as like the heavy from last season.
I think it's an interesting position to put a Robert Patrick in where he seems, you know,
certainly at the outset, like he's a menacing kind of guy, but the more we learn about him,
the more it seems like, oh, you're not maybe as experienced with this stuff as you want to
appear as being, which is kind of a neat thread.
Yeah, I don't know, three episodes, then I feel a bit more.
solidified than I did at the end of the first episode
because the first episode did feel very much
like, all right, we got this gang together
and we're doing the plot, we're doing the mystery,
we're doing all that stuff, but I've been
yeah, just looking forward to
the more nuanced flourishes
the show is good at, and I feel like those
are mounting with each progressive
episode to some degree.
What did you think, G?
Well, I think
compared to the first season,
everything must be compared to the
first season. It must be.
uh no i don't have it compared to the first season i think the show's good i think it's okay right now
i'm not in love with it same i really because the way you spoke about it just seemed like the most
positive shit i've ever heard nothing could be more positive i liked these episodes and i like
it the you know i i have increasingly liked it as we've watched it but i won't pretend that i am
as enthralled or joyous about what yeah how it kind of is presenting at the moment as compared
to the first season that immaculate first season the tom cruise movies it was a pretty great
first season I can't deny that it was pretty special yeah yeah yeah like right now there's
this show right now
just taking on its own merit
because really there's no connection to the first season
not at all they don't even acknowledge really
those characters which is what I sort of expected
yeah I expected that this is what they would do
so I want to kind of judge it
just based off of
this show itself I think
though when drawing comparisons
to the first season that is to
say that
the first season
just felt like it's a very
unique type of gothic
Southern Gothic investigative mystery show
with an ensemble of characters
that really shine beyond Jack Reacher
and here
you've got the setting of New York
which doesn't really feel palpable
or East Coast I would say like they got Atlantic City in New York
and I don't really get the
and I thought like okay maybe they should embody
some of that a little bit more because
like city and environment
you got first season had music tracks
this has music tracks but except
they're just kind of here
first season has fight scenes
this has fight scenes and
they're good here
they don't feel as special
they feel more requisite
yeah yeah
and
first season had Jack
Reacher you got Jack here
they have an ensemble last one
they have an ensemble here and so it's like this similar pieces different looks for sure i
i guess i just don't find the mystery um like sure do i want to know find out what happens
yeah sure why not uh that's what's your but to its defense um i remembered being here with you in
the first season being like yeah i'm not
that intrigued by like the mystery itself is not really the main appeal it's it's uh everything
surrounding the mystery that that is truly the appeal of the show and it's the atmosphere and the
characters and i can't say that for this one uh so far i think the ensemble i love the context of it
i love the idea of the characters yeah people from richer's past instead of richer being
like solo cool mysterious guy he gets to share some of the burden here share some of the
grief here uh like both like physically and literally sharing the grief the load of the grief
and uh people who he's like closer from his past instead of uh you know wander amid strangers
and yet and while i think the chemistry with everyone is
pretty good. I think everyone's chemistry is pretty good. And I believe the history, like,
I believe they all have known each other. I don't just feel like there's actors cast who are
slapped together in a room to pretend like they've known each other. Like, I buy that. I can't
quite place my finger on it yet. It still seems like kind of a typical show now. It doesn't
quite sing of uniqueness other than
it feels like a network TV show that has an R-rated
flourish once in a while like oh there's F words here
oh it's a little more violent than I
than you would see on network TV
like general network TV like
don't be wrong network TV can at like 10 p.m. slot shows
they can go pretty freaking violent you know
yeah then but here they won't go F bombs
you know and and that's
That's about, and then once in a while I do like a cool thing that I'm like, oh, that's surprising and really cool, you know, like with the backing into the parking lot.
That way they capture that shot.
Like I prefer when they do something that does embody a little bit more of the atmosphere of the snow falling and stuff like that or or even getting like a super New York cop, super New York detective.
Like I really like that as much as it's like kind of.
funny is you have like just the most new yorkest detect you ever detect in new york
it helps lend a distinguishability between this season and last and adds a real personality and
flavor and i think with its main ensemble of characters as much i like i like the atlantic
city hotel bonding scene i think one of them needs to get killed off a little bit earlier one of our
main core probably yeah because i'm like i mean you got the four you guys together it's pretty
like got like other than jack reacher like yeah he's like jack sledgehammer i get it but you know
essentially four jack reachers yeah you all have similar skills yeah you're you're your four jack
reachers and you and each one of you just has like okay like hot girl is is uh you know there's
more enhanced with numbers yes then the other ones yeah they're all just jack reachers with a
special skill yeah like what but they all share similar skills yeah like they fight the same they
yeah they think as a unit they think yeah and so uh i guess they really need to sell it it would
be more compelling if they really sold us on the danger and the threat other okay a couple of them
were killed off we didn't really know them so it would be i think
it would have helped just kind of like flipping some perspective here or allowing or or certain
buildup to them coming together as a unit again like you don't mess with the special
investigative like well could have used a little bit more of a bill to these guys instead of you
you can't just throw that in here without feels like a bit of a meme slogan that they told us it feels
like we were recounted the anecdote but didn't quite get like the full experience to where we are
now clued in on you know i don't know the the the the true
true charm and earning of the you don't mess with the special investigator sentiment yeah yeah yeah so
it does feel like there's some missing pieces here or like it feels to me like it feels like something
written by different people or like a different creative voice guiding the show and i don't know
if they had any switchups in their writer's room but i feel like they started attending i don't
know i don't i don't know the books and i and i don't like it's it's the it's the thing is like it's
not it's not bad it's just not as well compelling or as interesting as or it's fun or uh you know
there's a lot of a lot of every adjective i can think of i'm like it's all there just on the less
of a higher level well the the thing at least to me here in this moment uh not to
not to keep going back to the F.S.,
but, like,
uh,
the,
what seems different to me is that this feels more like it's being written like,
this kind of show,
if that makes sense.
Like,
it's being written more with the sentiment of like,
let's give more cool lines and let's have them like,
kind of quip each other in a way that feels a bit more heightened.
Like that,
again,
was always there.
But it feels like they're writing it more like some kind of tactical thriller.
rather than like the first season seemed to be like
oh this is this feels like it was written to be
like some sort of literary gothic mystery
that happens to feature a soldier who is highly trained
and who can you know level anybody
there's like a noirish quality to that it feels like you're
yeah you're following some kind of anti-hero
and there are multiple genres at work but it presents as
some kind of military procedural thriller
and this feels like it's mostly just trying to be a military procedural thriller and kind of eschewing the other things that it was so charming at being and that made it kind of reminds me of the piece of advice people say it's like if you want to write a genre watch a bunch of different or read a bunch of different genres read other stuff outside of that and bring that into your genre and where I'm feeling right now is mostly like this was mostly just fed on the same kind of stuff that this is trying to be it's it's incredibly straightforward yeah
Yeah, to the point where it just loses.
It's like taken aback by that.
Yeah, it loses a lot of its personality to me.
And it makes the characters feel less alive.
Yeah, like this core of characters,
when they're all like really quipping with each other,
I'm like, you all sound the same.
And maybe you're trying to tell me that's the point
that you all think alike because you're at one unit.
But there should be some subtle differences
if you were all such a great view.
At the same time, you're like,
You're a, you're a show, you're a movie.
You're like, I would hate to watch, like, Oceans 11 or something.
You'd be like, they all sound exactly the same.
Like, no, I come here to watch, like, distinguish personalities interact with each other.
Yeah, you know?
And for the most part, you're all, you all sound the same.
And it does make it feel like the, it doesn't feel alive, makes it feel less alive and it makes it, like, it's just not as exciting.
and and right now I am
I'm not I'm not bored
I'm just not as invested
as perhaps I would like to be
like I think
look guys it's a season two
so you're naturally going to compare it
especially when you're not a book reader
of the in general like you still like books
when the first season was such a surprise
well you I think
Roscoe
and Henley
Finley
Finley
Yeah
Roscoe and Finley
Like black detective
Who they keep bringing up
Like why are you a black detective
Here
Yeah
And then Roscoe
With her history to the town
Who could just be a generic
cop character
Those two
Are way more interesting
To me
Than anyone in this
court group
Like they are way more interesting
Well and he and Neely
Like Neely was such an interesting
presence
And an interesting facet to add
partway through the season there in the first
when you juxtapose her
with everyone else yeah yeah
exactly there's contrast and it's like
I think there's a way to make it work with a bunch of
people who share who are cut from the same cloth
and who share a bunch of like
experience it's like the first season had all
the flashbacks and I felt like those
even though those served a
function in the present timeline of the story
I felt like we were spending time
getting to know Jack Reacher throughout
that and I feel like the
flashbacks here ought to
serve a similar purpose and they kind of do but they still feel more like information delivery than
they do like let's dive into the character for a second and develop them i don't know it just doesn't
feel like there's much of a character story beyond the plot no there's not and that's that's that's
exactly what i was trying to bring up earlier was that it was the first season i remember the mystery
being kind of whatever like like i i kind of am interested in the mystery but i'm really it's
everything around the mystery that makes it show so great yeah the mystery is cool
and here it's like it's all about the plot in the investigation and i'm like with the personalities
that the characters i'm not loving like i i'd rather be here just because i like jack reacher
yeah i like what this show does so i'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and to give a while
to see where they take and i'd rather yeah i would i will gladly wait but you know when you do a three
episode premiere
I expect to
I'm naturally
just I wish I was more
looked by
everything that's happening
but right now yeah
I'm not like
chomping at the bit
to watch episode four
yeah I don't think it's unfair
to ask certain
I don't know because the things we keep
comparing to are broad
I don't think it's unfair to be like
I should feel the time and place
and I feel like New York
Atlantic City these are
places that beg
that have their own personality that have their own
life we should feel like we're there in the music like they clearly are making a point to have it
so like make it meaningful like you did the first time or at least clue us in somehow rather than
just having them talk over it and me going i like that there's music because that's kind of
realistic but also the sound mix is a little bit like it's i'm not focused on the right thing
right now and uh yeah i just don't think it's unfair to ask for those things when that's
what set the show apart initially was the tone the atmosphere the place the character
oh and hey it just so happens
there are great striking fights
it's the other thing too is like the fight scenes
are fine but in the first season
there were moments where
tons and tons of moments where it's like
there was distinctive impactful and
I don't know just sort of like
less chop chop
and it's not even the action here
is shot or edited poorly it's just like
there was something that was almost
like sumptuous about it the first time
and it was really pronounced and it really
crunched and like it does in the moment
like I think him kicking in the hood of the cars the most impactful piece of that here and even the villains and stuff like that's like I think it's a cool subversion that we know that Robert Patrick is at least you know pretty much behind this or is a big player in this but you know the first season also has that contrast where they build up at least the villains with some pretty horrific like murder scenes and you're investigating that stuff and being like wow they they nailed this guy to a wall that's really stark
and upsetting you know and there's not really much of that kind of thing either really like even when it
goes back i remember we had a moment in one of these episodes we were like oh that's right they
do some messed up stuff sometimes on this show i don't even really feel like that is gonna happen
or if it does happen i'll be kind of like oh that's right whereas before it felt like yeah those
things would just happen appropriately at times when yeah you're coming across a crime scene or
in the midst of some kind of scuffle or whatever i don't know
I hate you
I hate you
but not as much as I hate anything
that's not season one of Jack
Richard
what are you guys
are you just as satisfied
as you were before
uh yeah I'm a little tired
I'm a little tired now
oh I'm a little more
Nap Reacher
I'm willing
I'm willing before I cast a full judgment on
and I would rather wait
because I'm like shows done enough good
yeah and um there's enough qualities i'm rooting for right now
everything's just sort of because this could very well be a first season that's my point
and if this was a first season and i and i feel like you can do that with jack from what i know
about jack reacher the novels from even watching the movies like yeah every new one is like a
new start yeah new thing
New story, they're episodic for the most part.
Yeah, and I, other than some characters can carry over, you know, you can,
sometimes it could just be a new jumping off point for someone.
They don't have to start at the first Jack Reacher book, you know?
Yeah, it could be, yeah, you could start with any of these.
Here are the best ones you might be interested in trying.
Yeah, because I, from my understanding, not even like the first season is based off of the first book, right?
Yeah, it's like I don't know, whatever.
And same thing here.
So my point being with that is, if this.
was a first season, I'd be like, that's fun.
This is about what I expected.
Jack Reacher show to be.
I don't really need to watch the rest of the, like, yeah.
Whereas here, I'm like, I've continued with it because I really love the first season.
Because the first season left such an impression.
And I'm really holding out here.
And defied so beautifully the expectation of what you thought it would be.
And frankly, the last thing I'll say is that on the idea of a unit is cool, but at the same time that kind of strips away,
what makes Jack Reacher special is that he is the he is that's you ruin this specialty when
because the idea is you placed this special anomaly of a military human being buff dude
in with this crazy Sherlock Holmes mind yeah in the middle of like normalcy yeah when you got like
four of them you kind of and then you're following that and he's accompanied by that sometimes he's even
asking questions to the group where I'm going, I feel like Jack
Richard would know that.
But he has to ask it now because he's with a group.
And I think something, I don't think that couldn't work, but I think that's definitely
the hazard is, yeah, now Jack isn't as special of a presence because there are a bunch of
people who can do what he does and probably have a similar mindset, but also they haven't
really at least yet in the present day.
It's like in the past you at least have the hierarchy and, you know, the dynamic of his
leadership whereas here they're all kind of on equal footing well it's like well the other thing too is
jack richard is you know like he's the drifter he's like doesn't have many money yes how much of identity
yeah you know he's got he's got he's got to scrap whereas here is kind of like he's taking care of
yeah he's got everyone's taking care of him that's why i'm like you got that's what i'm saying
i feel like you got to kill off one of the four yeah earlier on create some problems you got you got
you got to really put them in a bind or something like that's because you because right
now there's when I boil it down to something really simple at the simplest if you made it this
far is I don't feel any tension I don't feel any stakes so when you don't have those qualities
which is like the driving force the most basic driving force of any television other than like
right now I got his baseline likeability for everything and nothing is egregiously bad
He needs to go talk to the gun guy more
So we can have any other character
Who's just like a person in town
Yeah, sure, yeah
Because that was one scene that kind of reminded me
Of some of the lovely types of character moments
Reacher can provide
And I mean, not that it's the best one
Well, that's why I like the scene with him being arrested
In the cop because
Yeah, that puts him out of his power position
And it's a game of power dynamics again
And it's fun to see the cop
actually arise as a character that we can like and trust yeah and that was a nice
aversion where i thought he might have just been another bad guy following as well or he could
have been a crooked cop yeah and so but i'm like oh i really believe this guy is as a good guy yeah and
i like the the guy the a m guy they're chasing around the country sort of but i feel like because
he is also a type a trope of like you know calm collected laconic hitman guy i feel like
that again you need
some contrast to really sell that
so that it doesn't just feel like a born
you know pull
or something like that
yeah that's true
I don't know they got all they need to
to cook with I just hope that they
they kick it up a notch
yeah for real man
Emerald Lagassee put some more seasoning
on this
it's a very workman like meal
right now
all righty guys we'll leave your thoughts down below

This joke would have landed this perfectly if I remembered specifically what city.
The only city that I associate people I know with living in is Austin, and I don't feel like that's right.
I hope that she's actually in Austin.
She might actually be in Houston.
Wait a minute.
