The Bourne Identity
When Director and pilot Doug Liman almost ran out of fuel taking his first solo flight to visit Robert Ludlum to acquire the rights to his novel The Bourne Identity (1980), nobody could have imagined how the 2002 film The Bourne Identity (2002) would turn out. The movie has since produced 4 sequels and billions of dollars in box office returns, but is it better than the book that inspired it?

Interview: Red is Not Retired
We talked quitting your job to go do something impractical and cool, with stand-up comedian and podcaster, Red Scott. You may know Red from his amazing Game of Thrones recap podcast, Boars, Gore and Swords, and if you don't then you should. He's got some solid ideas about a life worth living, and he's also hilarious. This is Red's face, and his best navy button-down shirt.
