Starting point is 00:00:00 How do the most successful women do it? We ask them on how she does it with Karen Feinerman. You'll get insights from leaders like today's Jenna Bush Hager. There's a lot I say no to, and I think it's a really important word for women to use. Rachel Weber of Paris Hilton's 1111 media. I'm going to be a much better leader. I'm going to bring more creativity if I have other things filling my life. And more.

Starting point is 00:07:04 In Falcon and Winter Soldier They just didn't have like Yeah The balls to pull it off That was a really good scene Yeah That was really good. Imagine it was like Kill Bill.

Starting point is 00:07:18 It's like, come find me. Pamela Landy. I hear you're still looking for me. Born? What do you want? I wanted to thank you. Oh. That's the only reason why.

Starting point is 00:07:28 For the tape. I got what we needed. It's all tied off. It's over. I guess I owe you an apology. Is that official? No, off the record. You know how it is.

Starting point is 00:07:36 This poor guy. Wait, let me trace this call. David Webb. That's your real name. Oh, wow. Born 41571 in Nixon, Missouri. Oh, damn. Tax Day. Born?

Starting point is 00:08:20 Yep. Oh, green grass. Damn. Oh, Tony Gilroy, yeah, that's the same right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Damn, good movie. Yeah, definitely. Ah.

Starting point is 00:08:35 Oh. Dang. We did it, guys. We watched the born supremacy starring Matt Damon. Every time, yeah. Yay. Well, well, well, a couple things I would like to mention before we get into it. First thing.

Starting point is 00:08:53 First. prepper great job betting in this down if it's visible on youtube that means they did a good job secondly must say i want to say a big big thank you to everyone who help us have a successful year of our patreon but becoming royal rejects help continue it because you guys are helping to fuel the channel right now for example we take cues during our reviews for a lot of these movie reactions that we do and some tv show reactions you guys generally get access to our shooting schedule Additionally, your Popset, the daily copyright claims that come in on this channel so you help combat the YouTube copyright overlords while also being able to get discounts at rejuctation shop.com.

Starting point is 00:09:36 Bartcode right here on screen. Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. We only got one question today. Isn't that crazy? I guess that means no one's interested. Or it got completely overshadowed by your. your heated rivalry reaction. That's right.

Starting point is 00:09:56 That's what I did right before this. Could be. Very well, could be. It's just refreshed for safety, but I'm pretty sure, yeah, everyone just came here for your heated rivalry. That's a bummer.

Starting point is 00:10:06 That's a bummer. But, you know, what? We'll save that one question for last. I'll go to you first, John Matern. How are you feeling about it? Did you enjoy this one? What did you think of the direction,

Starting point is 00:10:19 acting something? Anything the springboarded off? to help you out with talking. Sure. No, I, yeah, I appreciated it more than the first one, definitely. Paul Greengrass directing it is, in my opinion, like, kind of an upgrade. The Doug Lyman of it all for the first one, it was fun. I think you had mentioned that during the movie, but this one felt like higher stakes,

Starting point is 00:10:47 cooler color palette, like different angles and editing choices. And then, yeah, the shaky cam kind of added to the stakes of it all. I thoroughly enjoyed it relative to the first one. But, yeah, it continues the story. I'm curious about the third one. Yeah, just him in Missouri. Telling about David Webb. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:12 I would stick with Jason Bourne, though, you know? I know. Cooler name. Much cooler name. David Webb. David Webb design. Awful. Awful name.

Starting point is 00:11:22 awesome. That's why I changed it. So you like, it wasn't the CIA's goal. What do you think? Hello, Reject. It is now 2026, and I've been thinking a lot about what health actually means to me right now. And I'm sure a lot of you are, too.

Starting point is 00:11:39 Last year, I made a big deal about dropping like 50 pounds, all because I wanted to get those dang photos. And afterwards, I was going to go back to, like, whatever lifestyle I wanted. And you know how it goes. Life gets stressful. Food is my main outlet. Especially Saturday nights. When I say binge, I mean I binge. Some people think like I'm doing that exaggerating, but it's not. It's bad. Eating just crap until I fall asleep and then waking up the next day, filled with regret than trying to walk it all off over the course of two days. So instead of going more extreme this year, I'm focused on something much more sustainable. A lifestyle I can actually maintain. And a big part of when I felt my best was when I was using a lot of this.

Starting point is 00:12:22 Stuff like the hules and everything brought a lot from home just for today's video. I even grab the variety packs, so I'm going to have more of these, like, different flavors. I really like this chocolate peanut butter one. So you're literally looking at my rotation. I got the hule ready to drink. I got the bottles that I bring here at the office ready to go. I got the black edition powder. They got like a wide variety of flavors, and these are my go-toos.

Starting point is 00:12:41 And I am vegetarian and allergic to dairy, so I'm actually really happy that this is all plant-based, created by registered nutritionists, affordable per serving. And it removes decision fatigue when I'm on the go. a rush or when stress fatigue is really high.

Starting point is 00:13:08 And yes, this is an ad. However, this is something I have genuinely come back to. So thank you, Hewell, for sponsoring this video. Let's go with Aaron on that. I liked it. I thought it was. apprehension in the voice there. Uh-oh.

Starting point is 00:13:25 Uh-oh. I think I... Way to bring down the vibe here. He hated it. Pretty nice for your feelings. Uh, I, I think I did prefer the first one. I liked him having someone to

Starting point is 00:13:38 to bounce off of. No, that makes sense. This was a darker story for sure. And then we get to learn more about his past. I like that scene at the end with him getting a chance to redeem himself or or at least a tone. acknowledge the pain that he's caused and the gift of this girl a sense of closure.

Starting point is 00:13:57 Right. And the fallout and, you know, the continued cover up and the nature of what was happening when he was working for Treadstone. All that stuff was really good and engaging. Some of the action did work for me. Other parts of the shaky cam didn't necessarily work for me. I was like, what the hell is happening? But I understand its intention and trying to cap.

Starting point is 00:14:22 sure the chaos of the situation. So I think with its intent, it was effective, but just it didn't always play out for me as, uh, that its intention didn't equate to its impact on, on me, uh, in my personal viewing experience. But, you know, I think my name was great in the role. Uh, I think that he's still just as capable. When I like how the movie oxlates between him being on top of things, knowing is ahead, head of the government and the way he's able to maneuver himself out of

Starting point is 00:14:54 situations he wasn't prepared for. I think that was done very well and it gives you a great example of what it's like to put yourself in a character's POV in both obsessive circumstances. But yeah, that's pretty much it. What about you, man? It's fucking negative. I know. You've been a shot on in the comments. So mean.

Starting point is 00:15:16 David Webb opinion. I'm actually David. David Webb lover. I like this one a lot. I was thoroughly impressed with this one. It's like there's, I think born, there's parts of the born identity

Starting point is 00:15:33 that I do enjoy more. Like born identity is naturally more fun. Yes. You know, it's like a blockbuster film that's designed with like the perfect beat sheet in mind and like the beach story with the love interest. Like it is a perfect like elevated airport novel.

Starting point is 00:15:50 a really entertaining, fun film with a lot more heart. And this one, and it has like that, you know, the wonder and the fun of unpacking of the plot of like him remembering. There's more of a hook to it. Yeah, yeah. You know, so it's a very different experience, the first one compared to this one. And the, this one, I, the parts that I love that he, I love that it filmed, besides you something completely different tonally, you know? Like it is so much darker, so much colder.

Starting point is 00:16:27 Everything about Jason Bourne is so much more reserved and more internal. And I like how also more, it's weird because he's more internal and more stoic, yet he's also more vulnerable, especially physically, you know. Yes. He's like emotionally falling apart. He's emotionally trying to keep it together while going darker on the inside. at the same time, like physically, he's actually getting injured

Starting point is 00:16:53 throughout a lot of these fights, like right down to the finale car crash. He's like messed up, and he's just, he just keeps going. So in a weird way, it's kind of interesting how the first one has more heart,

Starting point is 00:17:07 and this one humanizes it more physically. Yeah. It's like, there's some like tradeoffs that I think do happen. And I don't know which one I actually like more. Like there's, I think this one has,

Starting point is 00:17:19 as like, more purposeful style. Like I agree with what you're saying about the handheldness of making it feel like fraught and paranoid in a constant sense of like someone's watching and surveillance

Starting point is 00:17:31 and it just gets like harsher and more shit. Like I felt like the escalation of it all just kept going along with the lighting choices becoming more muted as the film went on. And I'd like the score more here too. Like the score here I think accelerates the plot and ramps up a lot cooler.

Starting point is 00:17:48 So there's definitely things I like way prefer about this one and there's things I prefer about the first one. And I feel like I go into both with two different expectations and experiences, you know? And I guess it would kind of just depend on the mood that I'm in.

Starting point is 00:18:03 So I wouldn't really know if I would put this one above the first. I feel like this one is definitely a more like filmmaker film. Yes, yes. I can see that. This one is more of like a movie that one is like, oh, the cinema respect.

Starting point is 00:18:19 Whereas the first one is a lot more just like, like it's pure entertainment. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, the first one you can just put on, the second one, have to put on with intention. Yeah, the first one you can put on like, it's, oh, it's on TBS, let's keep it rolling. Right, right. And this one is, oh, let's get like serious and focus. Yeah, because there's a lot of plot, too, that there's a lot of, like, there's a lot of, like,

Starting point is 00:18:40 there's a lot of, like, the first one. But I thought it was even kind of more, more like, oh, I really got to, like, pay attention what they're saying right now because they are going, we're so quick. and there's so much camera movement that the censoriness of it can be a little overwhelming that I don't I can promise you I more than likely did not understand this movie when I first saw I know there's no way I could keep up with that but sometimes I was on in my age I'm like oh there's a lot to keep up with here and so yeah but I I thought it was quite cool I thought was really cool yeah because if you really think about the first one he surfs a body down like a flight of stairs

Starting point is 00:19:18 That wouldn't happen in this one. No, no. So, yeah, I mean, maybe I like the groundedness of it all, but I totally agree. It does depend on the mood and what you're going for. Yeah, I've always been told this, and this is kind of speaks to our old, the witticisms and the one-liners

Starting point is 00:19:38 that we used to do in our sales background. But I've always been told, if you pay attention, your attention will pay you. And so I think because there's so many, like, specific details with the plot in the second one that you have to be engaged naturally. I can recall kind of the details of the first one, but I looked forward to the fight scenes more.

Starting point is 00:20:00 No, okay. Versus the second one, it's like, all right, let me, why is it so tense, and who's chasing who, and the manipulation of the bad guy and like all that stuff, I think, adds to why I enjoyed it more, in my opinion. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:15 How do you feel about them killing off his girlfriend? That was crazy. I didn't expect that. I was like, oh, okay, she's gone. That was, she's dead. Yeah. That's crazy. And the way they killed Brian Cox was wild.

Starting point is 00:20:27 I was like, oh, I guess he's dead now. It wasn't like a very, you know, on purpose. I mean, it was on purpose, but it wasn't like a shot that they showed. It was like kind of happened in a shuffle, kind of like how decent amount of action scenes were in this movie. And I was like, yeah. So to answer your question, I was shocked. and yeah definitely set the tone for the rest of the movie. I thought he was going to be like a palpeteen.

Starting point is 00:20:51 Like I thought he was going to be in the third one. I didn't know he was going to, you know. Muff himself. Yeah. I mean, he seemed like he was like falling apart here. Oh, yeah, definitely. It was unraveling. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:00 He was trying to keep the secrets under wrap by any means necessary and cut up with them. Yeah. Yeah. Overall, though, I think it's a really good time. And I really like the, yeah, I mean, I can meet you on the action scenes for, especially during the car chase. I was like, wow, this is like, it's like, blink. It's a literal like blink and you'll miss it.

Starting point is 00:21:19 Yes, yes, yes. Thing with the action, you know? You don't want to take your eyes off or else you might not be able to keep up with. Exactly. But I think in some ways it does, like, throw you into the frenzy of what it must be like to be in that. That's what I liked about it.

Starting point is 00:21:32 It was like there's something that didn't feel, there's no like polish to it. It didn't feel like a car chase Hollywood action scene. Like the first one has that. And this one, they're like, let's go for the most realistic way we can do this. going huge at the same time. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:49 No more thoughts. Just be bored. No. It's just a shir a whiplash experience going from like just finishing heated rivalries. It's like this romantic character drama. And then this is like, all right. We're going to lock in for this intense. I'm trying not to stack as many shoots like.

Starting point is 00:22:07 Try to explain that with the scheduling. You shouldn't just put like shoots back to back like because it's a very different emotional, mental demand. And then you set a certain type of mood. So it's like if we're going to stack, it's a thing that I've been trying to like orchestrate here because I know how it can affect the experience of a thing. So I blame he did a rivalry for why you hate it.

Starting point is 00:22:31 But overall, you know, I liked it. I like Matt Damon and I do look forward to watching the third one. Yeah. You won't be in the third video, man. Watch out of your own. If you like, you'd come back for the fourth. We got one question here. Jay Rushden.

Starting point is 00:22:50 Thanks Jay Rushin for being the only one interested in this video. You want to read it, John? Sure. Question. Tony Gilroy wrote script. Does this movie remind you some of Andor theme? Kind of. I guess so.

Starting point is 00:23:06 I've never seen Andor, so I can't comment on that. You haven't seen Andor? Oh. I want to watch it, but the a just haven't seen. Damn, that is like some of the all-time best Star Wars ever. I agree. That's what I hear. Thoroughly.

Starting point is 00:23:17 That's what I hear. Um, I guess like corrupt government and, and that rogue warrior kind of. Sure. I think, yeah, the government thing and like, I guess the, like, the protest scene where she, he talks to Julia Stiles reminds me of the protest in season two. Yeah, he's like, political. backdrops for things. I don't know. I think and or so much more,

Starting point is 00:23:48 like and or so much about political commentary. Yes, yes. And this one is like, it's more of a backdrop and it's not really a commentary. At least I don't view it like that. I view it more as like a primal experience of throwing you into this one character thing. Definitely.

Starting point is 00:24:01 But I wouldn't view this as like what this is staying about the state of our nation. Is there some sort of commentary that I'm missing? Yeah, or maybe it was just flying over heads about like government. cover up of ink rush i feel like it's more of a genre thing than it is a uh a commentary on like real world politics but i don't know could be way wrong yeah anyway thanks jrussian let's read all the questions from heated rivalry now yeah and apply to this video i think that'd be

Starting point is 00:24:30 really fun to do you read all these earlier uh yeah yeah that's a lot did you did you watch heat rivalry? Oh no, I have not yet watched it. I've been just looking at your guys's reactions and like the thumbnails and also like the little clipouts, I'm thoroughly curious. Hmm. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:24:51 Well, now that you've seen episode five, how has that changed or reformed your opinion? Oh, yeah. Yeah, when the guy does the thing. Anyway, thank you guys for being here. Happy born supremacy. We'll see you

Starting point is 00:25:08 born ultimatum. Oh, yeah. You're getting better. All right. Oh, I hope so. You start at a 10%. You're at 15 now. Oh, good Lord.

Starting point is 00:25:18 You're growing, baby. You're growing. And that's what counts. Oh, yeah. Bye, John. Aaron and I are going to discuss your performance now. Okay. See you.

Starting point is 00:25:27 All right.
