Show notes
A story about espionage is a great avenue to get an audience member engaged in a tale. The story can either add to their own conspiracies about how the world of secret intelligence works or begin to deconstruct them. The Bourne Identity is a story that puts us in the shoes of an amnesiac assassin who is trying to figure out who he is, all while surviving against the world’s most adept assets. In this week’s episode of Parallel Quest, the guys discuss drive-in theaters, reaction videos, generational gaps, amnesia, free cam, James Bond, and of course this is all done with the backdrop of the main topic: The Bourne Identity.Watch the show on YouTubeBuy Zach’s newest book, Something Strange at Grandma’s House: https://www.steellakestudio.com/booksSign up for our E-MAIL LIST: https://www.steellakestudio.com/emailTIMESTAMPS0:00 Welcome0:25 Unexpected Upside of the Vaccine7:30 Drive-In Movie Adventure17:30 Zach Watching Reaction Videos20:30 GPS Generational Gap27:30 Being Resourceful vs. Being Knowledgeable 32:30 News from Steel Lake Studio36:00 Main Topic: The Bourne Identity40:41 Did this Story Inspire the Bourne Series?46:49 Other Guys Who Could Have Played Jason Bourne55:00 Stats and Reception1:00:26 The Aesthetic of The Bourne Identity1:09:00 A Little bit about the Novel1:11:42 Seeing the Last film Before any Others1:19:45 Initially Underappreciating the Film1:33:55 Preference: James Bond or Jason Bourne1:37:49 Lasting AppealThank you so much for checking out Parallel Quest.
