In Episode 107 below, we review Jason Bourne, Cafe Society, and Tallulah. Sean Burns joins us to discuss why Wesley Snipes movies have the best one-liners in their trailers. Since Sean hasn’t seen the week’s big movie Jason Bourne (at 3:12), he plays a fun game where he tries to guess its plot while we tell him what he got right. Following some jokes about The Bourne Legacy (or The Bourne Lazenby as Sean calls it), some questions about why we got another Bourne movie, and a tangent on Michael Douglas, Sean covers Woody Allen’s Cafe Society (at 34:10). Listeners know that Dave normally hates Woody Allen, however Sean manages to spoilerpiece him into tolerating the movie by sharing how much Allen gives a shit visually in this 1930s outing. After Sean explores its message that “It ain’t like it used to be, and it never was,” he reviews Sian Heder’s Tallulah (at 48:52), a strong first effort starring Ellen Page and Allison Janney. From there, we all descend into tangents about the Coolidge’s upcoming horror movie marathon and differing opinions on various De Palma films (mainly Sean and Dave’s).

Director Paul Greengrass has had much success in the past (United 93, Captain Phillips), but the plot developments in Jason Bourne aren’t memorable. We’re just going through the motions. In the end, I didn’t hate this movie. It’s too competent to be egregious. At least the effort fuses high production values with well choreographed action.
