The Bourne Detour - The Bourne Identity (2002)

Hello dear listeners!

We’re having a bit of an identity crisis. We know how to set up our recording studio, plug in the Tascam recording, toggle the volume adjustments on the mixer, and connect a smart phone so that a third individual and Skype into our podcast conversation. Now why would we know how to do all that and not know who we are?...

Psyche!

Fear not listeners, we know exactly who we are and there is no identity crisis around theses parts, save perhaps for the subject of this week’s episode. We’ve done Bond actor detours and even a Gotham City Detour, but here is our first ever visit to a wholly different interpretation of the cinematic spy genre. On this week’s show the boys discuss 2002’s The Bourne Identity starring Matt Damon, along with their man in the field, the international man of mystery himself Jason Kim.

We love spy movies, even when it comes to franchises that rival Bond, and who can resist Matt Damon? Ooh la la! Does this film truly represent a ‘’hail to the anti-007’’ as quoted in an article brought up in the discussion? How badly can Jason beat people up? How does a film like Bourne Identity stack up against the behemoths of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? What did Edgar do when he visited Pont Neuf back in the day? How upset can one get when being chewed out by Chris Cooper? Motivating male protagonists: to fridge or not to fridge?

So sit tight and buckle your seat belts because we’re going down those steps in the narrow ally in our Mini Coop.

Enjoy this week’s episode of the… of the uh… uh…Oh god!
