In the film, Rory (Matt Damon) and Cobby (Casey Affleck) are reluctant partners: a desperate father and an ex-con thrown together to pull off a robbery of the ill-gained earnings of a corrupt politician. But when the heist goes wrong, the two find themselves engulfed in a whirlwind of chaos, pursued not only by police, but also backwards bureaucrats and vengeful crime bosses. Completely out of their depth, they convince Rory\u2019s therapist (Hong Chau) to join their riotous getaway through the city, where they must put aside their differences and work together to evade capture\u2014or worse. Directed by Doug Liman and written by Chuck MacLean and Casey Affleck, \u201cThe Instigators\u201d also stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, and Toby Jones, with Jack Harlow and Ron Perlman. 00:00 Intro 00:40 Midnight Run & \u2018The Instigators\u2019 04:19 Tom getting cut from \u2018Air\u2019 07:54 Matt can\u2019t remember what movies he\u2019s been in 10:35 Direct! 16:09 Matt Damon LOVES Derek Jeter 21:36 Tom Papa, average Olympian 24:40 Casey Affleck writing \u2018The Instigators\u201d 25:58 Car chase therapy & Bourne Identity 31:16 Instigators is pro-therapy 34:36 Jack Nicholson's advice 38:35 \u2018Good Will Hunting\u2019 Robin Williams & Michael Stuhlbarg 43:31 Surfing in Costa Rica 45:36 You\u2019ll never run a marathon 47:02 Trying to make James Gandolfini laugh 48:15 Taste Test!
