That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Local news is in decline across Canada, and this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void, and it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more journalists. journalists in more places across Canada. Reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Because local news is big news. Choose news, not noise. CBC News. I was guilty of multiple skin care crimes. Two counts of sleeping and makeup. One count of using disposable wipes. I knew my routine had to change. So I switched to Garnier-Missler water.

Thank you to Hewell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. All right, gang, let's check it out. You just can't catch Jason Bourne.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Nope, no, never can do it. Never will. We have watched the Bourne Ultimatum. Yeah. That was a fun time at the theaters. Sure, we did have one. Prepper. Thanks for in down these highlights. Thanks so often join our
Starting point is 00:01:39 Patreon with this too. Fuller reaction watch a long as we sing with your own copy. We have watched all these off of prime video. Hail Bezos. Secondly, those are beginning RRR Apparel. Rejectnation Shop.com. You know who you are. You know you're part of the special family here, becoming
Starting point is 00:01:55 righteous rejects. Wow. What an adventure. Absolutely. Dude, Aaron, you know what I recall how much you hated the last movie. Despise it. You remember that? To my core. I remember how much of an asshole he was.
Starting point is 00:02:09 I was insulted every scene. Every person in the room. He was like, I can't watch anything because it's too handheld. I happily booed. I got nauseous. He left halfway through the video. I did. I was done.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Headphones on the ground. Had to AI you win. Yeah. Respectfully. Did you like this one more than the last? I did. Yeah. I liked it a lot more.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I did. I thought the last one. was good, but I didn't love it, but I would have to go this one, the first one, the second one. What would you put? Do you have an instinct on this one on the rating? No, I definitely would be three, two, one. I liked that order. Okay. Yeah, cool. Yeah. How about you? I prefer not to upset the audience with my opinion. You put us in a corner. I'm like all of them equally. Now we're going to get crap on. Oh my God. I think like ultimate, ultimately in terms of like entertainment. enjoyment, I would go three one, too.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Yeah, I would actually go that way. I love supremacy, and I wasn't sure which one I preferred. I was like, yeah, I wasn't more like a film film, the second one. And there's some stuff I definitely prefer about supremacy over identity, but I think it turns of just like entertainment enjoyment. Yeah, three, three one, two for sure. I was like, I think like 10 years ago, I might have been like, yeah, choose my favorite because it's so fucking dark.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I'm a different guy now. But yeah, would you have a favorite sequence in this movie? Oh, dude, that freaking fights. scene. Yeah. I was like, I don't want to say what it is. I was so sick.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I remember the time. I remember like the detail. I remember he flips. I didn't remember the towel or anything else that happens. I didn't even remember the book. That was so cool. Learn me some book foo. That's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Oh, good. I'm glad that scene lived up to the hype, man. Nice. There you go. But yeah. Why would you put this as your favorite? I feel like it just did a great job of tying the trilogy together. Plus, I feel like that character stuff, even though it's not super character intensive,
Starting point is 00:04:16 but the stuff that was there for him and getting to the root of it. And then you had that sequence of redemption where he let the reporter die, but he saved Julius Stiles' character. All that stuff was great. Plus, I've never seen in the movie them do like an in-between slash prequel. Like so much narrative happened between that. one scene in the third act and the final scene of the third act and I'm like, oh my God, that's the twist of the fact that this has all been happening.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Like, I would love to see a super cut of those movies interwoven into one narrative because that was awesome. Yeah. But yeah, I thought it was a really great time. It was endlessly exciting from the first scene, like from the jump. It was, it was immediately impactful. Yeah. Especially to mess with that when this whole thing is like dealing with memory and fragmented time
Starting point is 00:05:03 and to mess with time from like. like taking the ending of the last one, that you pick up from where you think the last one ended from the Russia scene. Because I forgot that that was the actual ending of the supremacy. And yeah, sort of like to mix it up. Like that was really cool.
Starting point is 00:05:18 That was surprisingly like awesome twist. Definitely. Yeah. Yeah, man. What about yourself? No, I agree. I got to echo the same sentiments because it was clever with the writing of how,
Starting point is 00:05:28 again, the supremacy's ending happened to be in this movie. Action sequence were crazy. It was so kinetic from beginning. to end and like even the lower like moments had more weight because it was so
Starting point is 00:05:43 it was so intense the entire movie so the highs were highs and the lows were lows in a in a positive way I the shaky cam actually didn't bother me yeah I feel like it actually added to the racial nature of the fights where I feel like normally people just do it because it's the thing to do along
Starting point is 00:05:59 oh Paul Greenegrass did it so we're just going to shake it up to show how freaking violent it is but I feel like the way that they utilized it was in tandem with the action to make the hits more impactful when he would throw somebody or when he would kick somebody when he would jump through a window all of it made it a lot more visceral which i really appreciated i think it was way more specific this time around where he knew went to like we need to make this clear what you can see you know like and it was really showing in the chase to to to like get to julia styles as the one asset was going to julius styles
Starting point is 00:06:31 and he was like going on the rooftop to her right they would like slow down the camera when you were with the asset. And it wasn't going a lot crazy handheld even even in that fight scene with like the like oh let's slow down on the hand grip and let's go above in the bathroom
Starting point is 00:06:44 so we could see the action of the towel as opposed to like what the fuck's happening here. You know, like you could actually see what was going on. The whole sequence with the journalist was so impressive. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Yeah. I love that. Jason not at one point. Like anytime the whole thing went wrong because of the guy reacting out of fear. Not trusting him. Yeah, yeah. But it also, but it also like humanly made sense why this guy would be freaking out.
Starting point is 00:07:09 It's the first time he's like, first time this guy's probably ever being hunted. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it was so clever the entire time. And yeah, as a bookend, too, I was surprised by how much of a, it does trilogy it up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:25 You know, wow, that was a super impressive film. I do agree. Like, they do match to, like, characterize it. And I think the reveal of him choosing. it and the way the manipulation went down had lent itself to a little bit more like American soldier commentary than usual
Starting point is 00:07:43 I think with this franchise. I feel like the franchise has kind of had some of its backdrop commentary but that one was a little bit more pointed and oh yeah we do kind of I call it the American dogma and that's certainly what it felt like in that moment like you're not going to let down your country
Starting point is 00:07:59 are you you know and it is like a form of brainwashing in a way for a guy super manipulative. For a guy who like literally forgets his whole memory. And he's like, you see like, oh, but he was already brainwashed. Like from a long time ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And that's tragic. Let me ask you guys. The stuff with Julia Stiles and she's like, you don't remember, do you feel like that was meant to imply there's something with them? Or do you feel like there was? Yeah, I was. But do you feel like they intentionally left it vague? Or do you think that they'll pay it off in like another movie or something? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I don't remember. fourth one at all. Yeah, I have like no clue. I don't know that one. Yeah, because I expected them to keep going, like, to eventually go back to it, to fill in the gap there, but they never actually did. Yeah, they never mentioned like specifics, which is, I mean, I guess left for interpretation or ultimately just like it wasn't very important in a good way, right?
Starting point is 00:08:56 Like, we don't have to invest so much time into it. There is some history, right? Yeah, it didn't add to the larger scale of the narrative, but it just felt like it was a very interesting little tidbit. Yes. Like, oh, okay, this is something we've been with the whole time, but now we're finally getting to explore the truth or whatever their connection was. We still don't know who David Webb was before he joined Treadstone, which is something
Starting point is 00:09:19 I'm still very curious about, what led him to being there in the first place. We know he's Captain Webb. Yeah. But to the extent. Exactly, the extent of it. I mean, it seems like he was just a good soldier guy, right? Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:32 But something would have to bring you to the point. of not wanting to, willing to erase your memory so you can just be anything. Well, I don't think he erased his memory. It was a identity erasure. Yeah, that's what I had a memory. Or so what I'm. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I feel like it weirdly added to the scenes knowing like what did happen between that without like laying it out. Yeah. Because it like how, because the first movies has that, you know, action hero romance thing going on. And they have great chemistry. She's been in the movie, Marie. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And like I love how this franchise allows her death to be a thing that casts a pall over the last, instead of her just getting like fridge and the last one. And then we're like, yeah, all right. Now you just have a cool action movie. Like it even carries over here. And then they do do some mirroring to the first one. You see how he's making decisions with I have to just let you go. We can't be on the run together moving forward. Like it is not safe for you.
Starting point is 00:10:28 You'll probably die. So even him having to make that solo choice for her. But it made those scenes when we're in there together. a little bit more interesting. Just knowing like, oh shit, there's like something here between them. Right,
Starting point is 00:10:39 right, right, right. He doesn't know, but she knows. And she's had to, like, just kind of bury that. Mm.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And that is something I, like, really didn't recall at all. And it doesn't even, like, slightly jog a memory for me. So I, when we were watching the last two,
Starting point is 00:10:54 it didn't even, like, dawn on me. So I was, like, trying to go back and go, is there, was there any hints at all in the last two? Other than, because especially that first movie.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Like, there's, like nothing there. Yeah, she seems like a pencil pusher at that point, not really very important at all. I'll take it. I liked it for the movie.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Yes, absolutely. In terms of like watching a trilogy and going and being really aware of that, like will it actually make sense? Mm-hmm. I genuinely don't. No. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:11:22 I think this one is the best action of the three. I agree. Yeah, yeah. No. Are you guys accepting of Jason Bourne being completely impenetrable? Jason born. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:33 He grows more. superhuman by this. This is the last one. Even though he gets to the crazy car crash, he's still like, let him his way out. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:11:41 You know, this time's like, just keep moving. Just keep running. I got like a scratch. And I'm going to drive this car off the roof and then I'm going to get in another crazy car crash. Just keep running.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Just keep running. All I have to do is grab the seat belt. And I'm fine. Yeah. It's so crazy. Yeah, I bought it. It didn't take weight it from the narrative for me.
Starting point is 00:12:00 It's actually kind of funny and entertaining. The fact that he is literally God. It would work It works in this one But I don't think it would work in the vibe of the second one Right The second one is like so much more like Nitty Gritty
Starting point is 00:12:13 And even the color palette of the second one Is so muted and dark And this one has the you know The handheldness of green grass But it's also very like much more colorful And brighter It pops a lot more Yeah it doesn't have as dark of a vibe
Starting point is 00:12:32 Throughout it It has more of like we're, it feels bigger. Like, you could feel like the universal studio studio's budget behind this. Yeah. Go and like, we're making an entertaining blockbuster now.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Right, right, right. We're not doing like the personal dark character of, yeah, of an action thriller, you know. It was, it, yeah,
Starting point is 00:12:51 amended one two perfectly and made three. And then story wise, but also like the visual and, and then the scale of it all. And now that I've seen the movie, I don't know if you've, like, I finally know the
Starting point is 00:13:04 like I guess the not importance but like the people championing Jason Bourne not having seen these movies there's these those cool nerd conversations who would win in a fight John Wick versus Jason Bourne and I was like I haven't seen the Jason
Starting point is 00:13:20 Bourne movie so I don't know if I can answer that now that I've seen them I'm like damn I don't know who can survive those fights because there are other people in that category I think John I was still giving Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:34 Witt right Stop Man literally has gun food No sure sure John Wick has survived even crazy or false Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:42 But in that It's not as dismissive anymore I'm like oh I thought Jason more I don't know about that But yeah yeah Definitely that makes sense Have you seen the accountant movies
Starting point is 00:13:51 I haven't Yeah with athlete Yeah yeah I haven't seen those movies I feel like maybe those two Would be more like comparable as far as like Their skill level Born and then the accountant
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah I mean, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have really been on this press tour together, and they've been really vocal about how they're working together so much more now. And they want to. That's why they did air together. They did producing more together. They just did the rip, which I thought was really entertaining. I think we did also that one really Scott movie together.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Oh, yeah, the last duel. They did that together. I haven't seen that one. That's right. So, yeah, they're working together more. And it does seem like if there was, I would see this crossing over more with the accounting. Yeah. than I would with John Wick.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Makes sense. But we'll find out. Anyway, we've got a few questions here. Let's get it going. Reject, gang, I have been thinking an awful lot lately about what does health truly mean for me. I don't just mean aesthetically, because last year I made this whole big ordeal about like dropping 50 pounds because I just wanted to try to get those photos for the first time ever in my life. I did it. Then afterwards, I was like, well, I kind of want to go back to.
Starting point is 00:14:59 eating whatever the heck I want, which has led to a lot of ups and downs in my journey. And now I'm at this point where, well, I'm realizing I kind of need sustainable energy. And I am older now. So what is like ways to maintain being healthy without going all crazy about it? And so I've gotten back onto some healthy foods that I love to enjoy because that's part of the key. And a big part of that has been Heel baby. And I'm specifically wanted to shout out this flavor right here because we got a bunch
Starting point is 00:15:27 of Hewle products at the office. and the one that the team tends to gravitate towards. I'm talking many of the hosts, is specifically this delicious chocolate, peanut, butter, flavor. Huel didn't ask me to specifically shout this out. I'm just doing it because it is truly an amazing addition. So incorporating something like Huell back into my routine along with something like this every day, the daily greens,
Starting point is 00:15:49 has been a massive improvement on my left already at the beginning of this year. Like proper nutrition without crazy dieting is just so crucial. And Huell, I feel like, is a great ingredient for that. So with me here, I keep our variety pack off and rotate between things like the Huell ready to drink and the black addition powder. This one truly is rich, filling, tasty chocolate peanut butter, man. It's just like my favorite. And I'm allergic to dairy. Thankfully, it is plant-based, created by registered nutritionists.
Starting point is 00:16:15 It's affordable per serving. And it removes decision fatigue when my stress is already pretty high because I tend to operate like that by D. So if you want something consistent without overthinking it, you could check out Hule using the link and QR code on screen. You can use my code rejects for 15% off orders over $50. New customers only minimum spend required. Yes, is this an ad? Absolutely. However, it is something I decided to go back to before the ever partner backup with us.
Starting point is 00:16:41 So thank you, Huell, for being a part of my life in more ways than one. Materan, I want you read the first month for us. All right. Beast Games contestant number five, thank you for your support. Now that you've seen the main three movies of the born franchise, do you think, do you guys think this, was a satisfied in conclusion? Or do you guys think there is still room left on the table for them
Starting point is 00:17:05 to have the reason to make the next movie Jason Bourne won't count Legacy since it's a prequel sequel sequel reboot? Oh, interesting. I didn't know that. I knew Legacy was not Matt Damon, but... I think so. I think there is still
Starting point is 00:17:20 room because even though he was on trial, they didn't specifically say what happened to Scott Glenn's character. So I feel like if they were to do since they do have a fourth one, I imagine he would be like the Brian Cox character of what he was to two. Because he was very much more like
Starting point is 00:17:36 behind the scenes in the shadows rather than having direct involvement with what was happening with the chase of getting Jason in this one. Yeah, I think in terms of like a trilogy, it's a satisfying conclusion. It does his job. Yes. But I definitely don't see
Starting point is 00:17:52 I definitely see how you could do like another one. I honest to God have no clue with it. What Jason Ford is about. I know there's like I have like one like a second of a visual in my head
Starting point is 00:18:08 from one specific action scene. But outside of that I'm like I don't actually know like why there's another one. I don't even remember like Julia Stiles if she's in it or not. And I haven't seen any a born legacy. But I yeah you don't learn too much
Starting point is 00:18:24 about his backstory and it seems like whenever what's it. Oh no I was looking because I don't know it's based off of a book, it's a book series. And I was like, how do you? I don't think they actually like, it's not like the Reacher show. I don't think they're like a directly adaptation. Okay, because I'm going to say there's over 20 Jason
Starting point is 00:18:40 born books. I'm pretty confident they kind of just do their own. I imagine born identities like the one they adapted. And after that, they're like, let's just do what we wanted. Right, right, right. Like it just doesn't feel like other, because there's kind of a formula with these movies, right? definitely you know like CIA new CIA guys comes in and we got to hunt them in the
Starting point is 00:19:02 boardroom someone halfway through send the asset in Jason Bourne turns out a faucet remember something from the faucet now he's on a mission whatever these memories are true yeah yeah like the guy just goes off on his own like what do you do after that right like how and I'm pretty sure there's like a lot of years between ultimatum and the and the the fourth one or the fifth one The fifth one? Yeah, I'm not sure. I remember the reception not being super high on that one. Same.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Interesting. I remember the trailer. I don't remember a good, yeah, a good reception. But yeah, I guess it would have been cool to revisit. This does tie in the three movies well, but I don't mind it just because it is an entertaining kind of character. It's just to watch and to be like, how is he 10 steps forward? that that that's entertaining that's fun so yeah i'll go padd parag i was like this is a hard name pronounce i'll take the fall here paddrag alert that's how you say your name thank you for you
Starting point is 00:20:11 does the hinted romance between jason and nicky in the born ultimatum change how you interpret their oh yeah oh my god no i'm your sister slash girlfriend mom's gonna be mad and the board supremacy where Nikki was broken to tears it's like we obviously know
Starting point is 00:20:37 that it was boyfriend girlfriend at least romance but the amount of people are gonna take us seriously or like this is true or Nikki was broken to tears and Jason holds a gunner
Starting point is 00:20:47 her head threatening to kill her yeah that is fucking terrifying but it does also make sense why she's like a little bit more willing to help Yeah. Does they make that make more sense? Of course.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Especially in Born Supremacy. Totally. Yeah. She has a soft spot for him, even though she has her fucking gut point. Yeah. Oh, it would be interesting to rewatch that one scene. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:09 No, reconnoxialized. From born and or both born movies prior to this one. Yeah, I remember us just making jokes like, ah, it must be because he's like attractive and lost. He does feel, he has like a boyish quality in the first movie. Totally. And then now he's just like, oh, he's. like jacked in this one like you see it like in this entire composition yes like his face is thicker
Starting point is 00:21:30 you know it's that's thicker like every part of him is just built now right and i wonder if he just got buffered this one because not that fucking buffing the last one no no yeah i'm like was he making something else around this time where he was buff for it because yeah good question he was super buff muscle and age yeah but no yeah it does it does we talked a lot about it does recontextualize a lot of it and I imagine if she I bet I think she is in the fourth one If she is in the fourth one They must have they might that I don't know
Starting point is 00:22:02 Maybe they paid off yeah They set it up We were all like what the fuck yeah It's crazy Yeah makes sense Go for it Aaron All right Arne Orlando
Starting point is 00:22:14 I hope I said you Arriano Ariano I think We love you uh hi gregg erin and john john welcome to the team i appreciate your insight so far also phillams represent
Starting point is 00:22:31 aaron i love you too and i consider you philm at heart i appreciate you by association oh yeah i love that you're doing the born movies what has slash have been your favorite born locales like what spaces where we've uh yeah where we're location wise I haven't traveled. New York City.
Starting point is 00:22:55 That's the only one I've been to. I'd have any place on this list. I like, what country were they in? They were speaking Arabic, right? Morocco? They were? Tangier and Morocco? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:07 The fight scene are you talking about? Yeah, it was like going through the rooftops? I remember. It was unique for the Bourne movie. Paris was also really cool. I really like the architecture there. Mm-hmm. I like the Russian chase scene.
Starting point is 00:23:19 And Russia, the car chase. A lot. That was really... Oh, nice. From the first one? Second one. Oh, that's right. I think the first one was somewhere else in Europe. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I actually don't know which one I would say. They all... He span the globe. That's what you do when you're hunting, Jason Bourne. Yeah. Morocco was probably my favorite because, again, you tease that fight well, and still, I was surprised. So I like that fight scene and that the rooftop chase beforehand.
Starting point is 00:23:47 That was dope. But also, like, the very first movie that... At the very end, it's not an action sequence, but when he meets Marie, it's somewhere in Greece, and that's beautiful. But a cool way to end it because it's like this romantic town. Yeah. New York City, man. New York City and Paris, baby. You're going to take this last one, Mr. Matern.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Jay Russian, thank you. Question, which do you prefer Daniel Craig Bond or Matt Damon-born movies there? Well, I'd have to say Matt Damon-born movies because I have not seen the end-no-Bron movies. That's right. I've seen maybe one skyfall years ago, like almost 15 years ago, and I don't remember anything about it. So, yeah, born by default. It's good to know. It's good to know, everyone.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Go ahead. I know my answer. I don't know my answer, but like, I kind of do, but like, I need to talk it out. I've only seen those Craig movies once, but they were rather, it's kind of up and down. And Quantum of Solace, I remember just being like. Well, they're just ripping off the BORN movies. Like, the entire way it was shot. There's like one fight scene in that movie.
Starting point is 00:24:57 They're like, oh, you just like watch the BORN movies. Yeah, yeah. Completely, like, did that. But that was also a movie that was a product of the Riders Strike. That's right. That's right. But then we got Skyfall from that. Well, I mean, there's like five of those movies.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I don't know. I think the BOR movies are more consistent. I mean, we're doing three compared to five, but I think the Born movies are more. consistent. Although I want to revisit Casino Royale because I remember that being like the Bond movie to define Bond movies.
Starting point is 00:25:30 So maybe that one might just take the cake of them all. I'm not sure, but I think as a franchise so far, a trilogy compared to was that Quadrology? Is that five? No. Yeah. Quatt is four. Pen. Saga.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Saga. That's supposed to difference. Yeah, I would probably give it to the Born movies. I have to say I would go with the Daniel Craig Bond movies Mainly because I've seen casino rail Countless times and I love that movie
Starting point is 00:26:03 Unfortunately Quantum and Solace And Specter aren't the greatest movies But Skyfall is so good Like I remember that being really good Sam Mendez He does also direct Specter But Sam Mendez is one of my favorite
Starting point is 00:26:20 directors and like knocks out of the park after quantum of solace and then no time to die the very the last one daniel craig i just don't like the ending otherwise it's still a very good movie um and there's like this i mean it's a james bond movie so there's a little little more of um heightened animated type of like um wit to it born is serious which kind of does um you know i i'd prefer more serious movies. But if you watch Casino Real when you do, it's just this fun James Bond movie. It's,
Starting point is 00:26:56 there's a lot more fun to be had. Action sequence-wise, Matt Damon's, like, turn in action is better, in my opinion. But again, overall experience, I would have to lean towards Daniel Craig's Bond movies, for sure. I remember the final Craig movie
Starting point is 00:27:13 having like a really good one or up a staircase. Is that, all right? I don't know if it's like a staircase or something. I remember there's like a oneer sequence. I was like really impressive and like a car chase scene. That was really impressive. Maybe with Anna De Armis's character who shows up in like, oh yeah, I forgot she's in that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Maybe that the oneer happens there. I'm not. I would like to, I mean, I haven't seen most of the Bond movies, so I'd like to just kind of marathon them all. Yeah, that'd be dope. That'd be freaking dope. Watch him with Aaron as he complains about how there's like no depth. Why they're so old looking? Why is he a sexist in these?
Starting point is 00:27:47 That's an argument. You can't. And I'll be here, being like, it's a different time. Let him hit her. Why is this movie called Octopus? Where's the feminism in Octopus?
Starting point is 00:28:00 Oh, my gosh. All right, guys. That's it for the Born movies. Had a great time. And we'll consider watching. Yeah. I mean, if I could come to this far.
Starting point is 00:28:15 As Evan did like the greatest in return on the, who knows? I don't know. I kind of just want to watch them. Yeah, it's like, fuck it way. I've never seen the Bourne legacy. Do people even like that?
Starting point is 00:28:25 I'm not going to look up what it got a rotten tomato. That's my best of my viewing experience. But I can't imagine. I think the biggest mistake is you called it Born. Right. But that's how you get people in the seats. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:38 But Jason Bourne's not in it. They called the Bourne legacy because it's the legacy of his franchise. That's so stupid. No, I got off to bat. I just got to say, that's a stupid. Like why would you then you're gonna be like why we don't want to watch this is I'm mad david in this well they had a treadstone spin off and I imagine most people didn't care or no because born is not in it or his name's not in it I know but they should have just tried to it's it's that's the thing like with it I mean I liked um I liked quite a bit the fucking ballerina movie oh yeah right right Johnwick but it's been off as a day of people show for John Wick and not the world you know but I do think ballerita was a pretty sweet movie so maybe um maybe born legacy was, maybe
Starting point is 00:29:20 Boran Legacy, I just never hear people talk about it. It's not like, maybe it's one of those movies that's actually better than people give credit for us. Right, right. I like to find out
Starting point is 00:29:28 why Jeremy Renner doesn't have any franchise. See you guys.
