Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply a book lover, this episode offers a fresh look at how stories can inspire and educate.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s finally Friday on Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. So I tell him I’m a pro, Jack. And who do you think they give you? The Dalai Lama himself. So we finish 18, and he’s going to sniff me. And I say, hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know? And he says, oh, it won’t be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So I got that going. And movie reviews with Andy Payne.
SPEAKER 18 :
I think that you got the wrong impression about me. I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do.
SPEAKER 17 :
What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
SPEAKER 22 :
What do you want to do tonight?
SPEAKER 14 :
The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world. Stick a fork in me, Jerry. I’m done.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, here is your host of Rush to Reason, John Rush.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, welcome. Friday edition, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Myself, Andy Pate. How’s Andy today? Andy’s doing well. And yourself, sir? Always good. Thanks for filling in while I was gone. Happy to help. Appreciate it. We have Mike Goldstein with us as well. I’ve had Mike on before. So, Mike, how are you?
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m fine. How are you guys?
SPEAKER 08 :
How was your holidays?
SPEAKER 16 :
Fine. Great. Happy New Year, by the way. Happy New Year to you.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, so talk to us about, we interviewed you before, but for those maybe that haven’t heard you, talk to us about the adventures of Jimmy and Andrew, which I talk all the time during the week about this, and I said this past week that I gave one of these away to my grandson, who’s seven, and Richard’s oldest, Andy. And by the time we left and gave it to him, kind of open presence, hung around for a little while, and then left maybe an hour or so later, he was already like a third through. So the point is, it’s very interesting, or he wouldn’t have kept reading it.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s very hopeful, too. By next week, he’ll be teaching Richard.
SPEAKER 08 :
Probably. Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
We’re hopeful. But the point is, it’s an interesting book.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, thank you. And I’m glad your grandson’s enjoying it. He loves it. I can’t believe it’s seven. That’s fantastic.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. It’s fantastic. And I know from the interview we had last, you did this to be able to help younger kids especially, but really it’s for all people, but for younger kids especially, to be able to read because our literacy rate in the U.S. is like in the tank.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, it’s out the bottom. Not too many kids at the age of your grandson are reading books like this. They’d be lucky to read Dick and Jane.
SPEAKER 08 :
Dr. Seuss. You’re right. Go ahead, Andy.
SPEAKER 07 :
Mike, it’s already a very different kind of writing style to gear it toward children, but how do you structure it to make it more educational to where it actually sparks their interest and sparks their mind, gets them thinking?
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, that’s because all the subjects… that are discussed in the book are historically accurate and factually accurate. Every detail in the book is written that way. And so it ties into the story, everything. And so it’s very interesting for the kids, but it also teaches them. And the book is… Like I said, kids can read this book. His grandson read it at seven, even though most kids go nine and above. But it’s also for anybody, adults. People love the book. If you go to the website and you look at the reviews, of which there’s like 300 reviews, a lot of the reviewers will say, well, this is great for my kids, but I liked it and I learned something. And this is not just for kids. They say it over and over.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, I would assume that with a book like that, the amount of research that went into it has got to be many, many times what goes into the normal children’s book.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, or almost any book.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good point. Because the whole point is that I wanted it – to tie into the history, but, but so it doesn’t, so that everything in the story is accurate too, that it all flows, that everything works. So, so it has to be appropriate.
SPEAKER 08 :
It does. I mean, I’ve got a seven year old that’s living proof that it does. So it most definitely does. Mike, you did a great job. And the other thing that I would tell you, and I said this during the week, So we as, especially conservatives, believe in helping others, partly what we do here on a regular basis. We educate, we teach, we train, and so on. And I talked about even some New Year’s resolution type things on Wednesday during health and wellness. And one of those things, Mike, is learn to be kind and help others. That should be everybody’s resolution all the time, be kind, help others. So I know there’s folks listening that maybe don’t have grandkids. Maybe their kids are all grown. but they’ve got coworkers, they’ve got neighbors, they’ve got church kids, they’ve got kids they know is my point. So where I’m going with this is think about it in that way. So you may not have somebody that you’re directly connected to that you’re gonna hand the book to, but you could hand it to the parent of one of them that you know and still get that book in their hands is my point.
SPEAKER 16 :
Exactly, exactly. And as far as the person enjoying it, well, one of the things about the book is is you want kids to be – if they’re going to read, you want them really to be interested in the story. Engaged. And the story – one thing I can tell you about this book and the other books – is that it’s unique. It’s not the same story. You’re not going to be able to figure things out. It’s not like, oh, yeah, same old, same old. You know, like so many things. It’s predictable. It’s not a Hallmark book. It’s not predictable at all. And that’s what gets the kids and also adults engaged.
SPEAKER 14 :
Sure.
SPEAKER 16 :
Because the story is very different. It’s about, I’ll tell you a little bit about it, just the basic. I’ve mentioned it before for people who haven’t listened.
SPEAKER 1 :
Sure.
SPEAKER 16 :
Heard it before. The book is about a nine-year-old boy named Jimmy who’s always wanted a dog. He’s always desired a dog, wanted a dog his whole life. And finally, when he’s nine years old, on his ninth birthday, his parents feel he’s old enough to have a dog and take care of it. And they take him to the Humane Society where he’s allowed to get a dog. And it turns out that the dog that he gets is telepathic. And he finds out that the dog is immortal, has been walking the earth for over 3,000 years, born in Egypt to a normal canine family, but he’s different. And feels that there’s something before all that when he’s born, but doesn’t know what it is. And since he has normal litter mates, he spends the next century walking the earth trying to find clues to his origins or find others of his kind. And it’s not until he meets Jimmy at the pound that he begins to discover clues to his elusive origins, which is a theme that goes through all the books.
SPEAKER 08 :
Gotcha. And I should also say, and I think last time you were on, Mike, we talked about this. So for all of you listening, this isn’t a small little paperback book like what you would think of a Reader’s Digest version. of a children’s book. This is a full bore, full size book, full color. I mean, when you put this thing in your hand, which I’ve got a copy right now, I mean, this is high quality, very well made, full color pictures in it throughout. I mean, Mike, you did a wonderful job building a book that is something that nobody would want to ever throw in the trash. Let’s just say it that way.
SPEAKER 16 :
And one of the things about it is, like you were mentioning before, a big concern is children’s literacy. And so how do we get kids to get interested? Well, one of the ways is parents reading to their kids. Like I mentioned before, my son, my daughter, they were reading very young. My son was reading at that age, too. But it’s because we read to them. And part of the way this book was designed is to engage the kids also in a read-together with their family so they can discuss it. Make it a family affair. Exactly. So the book is put together for that purpose. Yes, we have… electronic copies of the book. But the book was designed for the hard copy. Because it’s seven and a half by ten and the full page illustrations are for every chapter. And the reason we did that is because I wanted to give it that graphic novel quality to engage it.
SPEAKER 08 :
For those of you, again, it’s hard to describe on air, and Andy, you kind of know what I mean by this, but it’s a very nice, well-put-together piece. This is not your average, thin paperback, you know, where the pages are going to tear easily. I mean, it’s one of those things where if a young child is reading this, they’re not going to tear it up, Mike.
SPEAKER 16 :
No, that’s right.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s probably the best way for me to say it, right? It’s a very nice piece. And so those of you listening, please order one today. You can do that by going where, Mike?
SPEAKER 16 :
Go to the website, jimmyandandrew.com.
SPEAKER 08 :
And again, even if you don’t have kids and you don’t have that ability to read directly, hand it to someone that can.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, at the website, you can also go look at a free preview. And we have a four-chapter free preview and print replica that’s just gorgeous. Awesome. Now, the one thing you’re not going to get is the way that the illustrations appear in the book because that’s something very special. Other books have not done it. Publishers would not do it because it’s too expensive. Right. It’s very expensive. It’s very expensive because I did not want the book to be – The illustrations, like most all books, you find them at the beginning of the chapter. Well, then if it’s something exciting and you read through it later on, then you’re giving a preview of something. And then when you get to the scene, you have to flip back to see the illustration. So why not put the illustration right across the page from the actual scene so the person can see it while they’re reading it? Well, publishers don’t do that because you end up with extra pages. We ended up with like 17 extra pages.
SPEAKER 08 :
Which is a lot for a publisher, right?
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s a lot. What do we do? We put drawings of the two characters that play on those, and it looks beautiful. But you have that, and this is something you can’t get on the electronic, because you’re going up and down. Here you can actually see it in the book the way it was designed, and here the kid is seeing it while you’re reading it and reading. It’s a beautiful piece.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, Mike, if I may, really quick here. I think it’s also good just to have young people get the experience again of having a book, a real book in their hands. Because what you’re talking about, there’s such a real problem of literacy in our country today. And I think so much of that is… First of all, because of the disinterestedness and distractedness. Everybody is so distracted and wound up and running so fast. They don’t slow down. As a result, they’re just not getting the building blocks they need.
SPEAKER 08 :
This will make them do that. Yep. to learn. Absolutely. So again, folks, Adventures of Jimmy and Andrew. It’s jimmyandandrew.com. There’s a code right now, too. Just put code KLZ in. There’s a nice little discount for you if you do that. And as I said, even during the week, you may not have kids in your own home and feel like this is really something that’s important to you. But trust me, we all know kids. We all know families that have kids. Buy a few copies and give them away as a gift because really the end goal here is to teach kids how to learn.
SPEAKER 16 :
And if you get two copies, we’re giving away a free hat that they can just call in here and they’ll send them one from KLZ. We’re having one little thing. We’re having a little bit of a glitch on our shop page today. So if they call up and the shop page is a little bit messed up, we’re getting it corrected. So just call later today and then do it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, Mike, I always appreciate it very much. I enjoy what you’ve done here. My grandson does as well, so thank you very much for that. I appreciate it greatly. And Happy New Year and look forward to 2025 with you.
SPEAKER 16 :

SPEAKER 12 :
Suck it up, buttercup. Back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 07 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, John Rush! I haven’t been able to say that in a while. No, I know. So I’ll say it again. John Rush, together with Andy Pate and John! Are you ready for a movie?
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve had one.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes, absolutely I am.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, you’re ready to dive right back in. Okay, well, John, here we have another foreign horror film like Oddity. Remember that one, Oddity, I did? Okay, can we find some more magic in The Damned?
SPEAKER 22 :
Like one night, when everyone was in bed, there was a knock at the door.
SPEAKER 19 :
May the Lord protect you from harmful sea creatures and dangerous pirates.
SPEAKER 10 :
Poor bastards. We’re not gonna help them.
SPEAKER 19 :
Helping those men will put all of your lives at risk, and I cannot do that.
SPEAKER 17 :
Whatever wreckage can float, we’ll stay close to them.
SPEAKER 22 :
I’ve seen evil trying to get in here.
SPEAKER 23 :
The dead can’t break free if you hammer iron nails into their feet.
SPEAKER 22 :
What happened on that ship was a terrible tragedy. He doesn’t care. I wouldn’t sleep if I were you. A thing like that never stops.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s never too late to ask for forgiveness for what we did.
SPEAKER 22 :
It won’t stop until it’s taken all of us.
SPEAKER 15 :
Keep it away! Keep it away from me!
SPEAKER 19 :
We should not be here.
SPEAKER 07 :
And we’re in, right? We should not be here, Andy. I just want to make sure she was done yelling help me. Okay. Well, John, the setting is the late 1800s in an Icelandic fishing village. Okay, so up in Iceland. The community is nearly all men, led by one woman whose husband recently died and left her the fishing boat. The reason it’s virtually all men, they’ve come up north, left their families to work the season. Right. You work the fishing season. Then they go home, hopefully with money for their families. Well, that woman who’s leading them is Eva. She’s played by Odessa Young, and she is the de facto leader of the community. She’s good at it, too. Giving orders without being power mad. I like that. Well, unfortunately, this is an especially harsh winter. Everywhere is numbingly cold. Boy, you can feel it, too. They make you feel it, too.
SPEAKER 08 :
Climate change didn’t… No, no.
SPEAKER 07 :
It didn’t fix that.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m sorry.
SPEAKER 07 :
The fishing is awful, and the men are literally eating the bait to survive. It’s gotten that bad. Right. Well, when you’re responsible for your group’s survival, you can’t afford to help others. Okay. So when a nearby boat is going down, you heard this in the preview, a starving crew is divided into whether to save them. Eva makes the call, and they let that crew die.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, afterward, they go through the ship looking for supplies, but only to find some brandy and heating oil, virtually no help there. And the six caskets on the beach fill them with guilt. Well, then word spreads through the village of a monster of folklore, the Dragoor. The Dragoor, okay? And some say they’ve seen it, and this animated corpse feeds on the guilt, and on them. Well, the men are turning on one another, and they’re becoming desperate. And after a couple sightings and dwindling numbers, they realize they’re being hunted. So they hunt the dragger. Now, can Eva hold them together? Can they survive? Can anyone survive against the damned? And that is the story. What do you think? It sounds pretty weird. Well, yeah. I mean, basically, it’s a horror story from back then, right? So it’s very raw. Well, what works in The Damned? First of all, Odessa Young is perfect in her last girl role. She may be up for a best actress from this. She’s pretty, but not flashy. Commanding, but not forced. She captures all the stress of leadership and terror of supernatural horror. By the way, she demonstrates a lot of what John Rush would teach in leadership. I kind of like that.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
And that doesn’t mean she makes every right choice. You can’t. It’s an impossible situation. But she lives with it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right. The sheer coldness and hopelessness is well captured by the director. It all feels very raw, very real, very well done. You heard the scene where the other lady, because there’s one other woman there, the older lady is telling the story of the dragger.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Knock, knock, knock. Right. Great scene. Really well done. Okay. Because she’s telling this story to the guys, and she’s telling it as kind of a scary story because they enjoy scary stories, but also being kind of real about this. Hey, this is a real threat up here. This is a pretty scary movie. You have undead awakenings. You have cool camera tricks, awful killings, the whole thing that you would expect with a horror movie. The storyline pace is solid for a slow-burning scare flick. It’s only 90 minutes, John.
SPEAKER 08 :
I saw that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, it whips along. This is more of a good study of human weakness than a parade of jump scares. In modern flicks like this, it’s almost all jump scares. This is not. There are frightening images and moments, but mainly we’re watching people fall apart. And there’s a good sort of romance between Eva and one of the men. It’s very restrained, and it’s very well placed in the movie. Okay, what doesn’t work in The Damned? Well… This is kind of important. And just so you know, Rotten Tomatoes, I’ll give you, I’m jumping ahead here. They gave this 88%. But the audiences, and keep in mind, audiences that go to a movie are generally going to score it higher because they are the type who go to that movie.
SPEAKER 08 :
They’re a fan.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right. They’re the fan of this kind of movie. They gave it 48%. I’m going to give you some of the reasons why. First of all, it’s too hard to tell what’s really happening too often. When a filmmaker wants to keep you guessing and guessing about what you’re seeing, you can lose interest if they keep you guessing too much and they overdo it. Next, this makes it difficult to get one’s bearings and really enjoy the frightening events that are going on. You want to have a pretty good feel of what’s actually happening. Not constantly wondering, is this really happening or am I imagining it? Is it really happening? Sure. After a while, you’re like, you know, I lost interest. Right.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m done.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I’m done.
SPEAKER 09 :
I checked out.
SPEAKER 07 :
Exactly. Here’s the biggest problem of the movie. The Draggar is such a poorly defined villain. Okay, because you’re wondering, okay, is this just the undead come back to life that are going to feed? Well, not really. Okay, is it a spirit? Well, not really. It’s physical too. Okay, well, is it undead? Well, sort of, kind of, yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s very poorly defined, so you don’t know what you’re looking for. So it could be anything. And so any of these shadows, and they do great camera work. Boy, say that five times fast. They do that really well, but you don’t know what you’re looking for or at. And it kind of really detracts from the forebodingness of this. You want to know what’s coming.
SPEAKER 09 :
Sure.
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, in Aliens, you know exactly what the alien is. After a while, you know what’s coming. You know to be terrified. Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
The previews make it look dark to me. Is it a dark movie, too?
SPEAKER 07 :
You know, most of it’s dark because it is way up north.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
during the largely dark season, but there are light moments, too.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
They do have very light moments, like when they see the ship go down. All right. They’re having to deal with that. The slow buildup followed by a sudden leap in terror. You know, I have always said on horror movies, the timing of the buildup is absolutely crucial, not just on the movie as a whole, but also on each scene, right? You can’t build up too long or too quickly. If you build up too quickly, you’re killing the moment. Right. It’s too sudden. You’re not getting the whole shock. Right. You really because a lot of the terror is the expectation of terror.
SPEAKER 01 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Not to terror itself. But if you over build up, what are you doing? You’re killing it. Right. OK, well, they over build up at times. And here’s the biggest one. A very unsatisfying ending. And let me take a step back here. They don’t overbuild up in each individual scene. It’s actually very well directed in a lot of the individual scenes. They overbuild up in the movie arc as a whole. Okay. You have a very unsatisfying ending. It dropped the movie by at least a half a point just on its own. All right. Once again, Rotten Tomatoes gave this 88%, 48% from the viewers. I’m going to be a little nicer than them. I’m going to split the difference. Three stars. Okay. For the damned. Is this worth watching? Yes, it is. And it’s 3-3-3. Political three, moral, religious three. It doesn’t say a thing.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay. You know, I mean, you got people praying, but these aren’t really knowledgeable Christians, but they mean well. All right. And… Do I recommend seeing the Damned? I do, but understand it’s going to be a bit of a slow burn in the first half. The payoff is worth it, but I would like a better ending.
SPEAKER 08 :
There you go. Okay, good to know. Veteran Windows and Doors, I talked about Dave actually during Ready Radio today, but if you need Windows and Doors and you want to get ready for spring, because that’s about how long it’ll take right now once you call him, give him a call now. Find Dave at klzradio.com.
SPEAKER 04 :
Veteran Windows and Doors never uses gimmicky high-pressure salespeople. In fact, when you work with veterans, you get the owner, Dave Bancroft. Dave will never try to manipulate you or use silly tricks upselling you. Big window companies will show you a heat lamp test that is supposed to impress you. But what does that really tell you about your windows? Other companies omit the pertinent information, and just because the window and door says Provia, it does not mean their products are engineered for Colorado or even anywhere in the U.S. Dave prefers to be the last window and door company you meet with, so he can give you all the information the others fail to reveal, like the U-Factor, efficiency ratings, and even if it’s ENERGY STAR certified. And of course, don’t forget the tax rebates many people didn’t know they could receive. Just talk to any of Veterans’ previous clients and they will be the first to tell you. Get your high-quality windows and doors without all the gimmicks. Reach Veteran Windows and Doors by going to klzradio.com.

SPEAKER 06 :
Back to Rush to Reason, presented by Hi-5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 07 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, John Rush, together with Andy Pate and John. Are you ready for another movie?
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right, John. Well, you know, Gerard Butler is becoming the new Liam Neeson with off-season action flicks. Love that guy. I do, too.
SPEAKER 08 :
I like him.
SPEAKER 07 :
He’s my style, isn’t he?
SPEAKER 08 :
I agree. I like watching him.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, the lovable lug. I just love the guy. Well, next up for him is Den of Thieves 2, Pantera.
SPEAKER 21 :
These streets, they’re different. They’re old. The ties are deep and hidden. It’s where the East claws at the West. Where the South seeks the North. be respected. Rules that cannot be broken. And if a mistake is made, only blood is paid.
SPEAKER 1 :
In the top goes gangster.
SPEAKER 07 :
And a cop goes gangsta. You gotta like that line. Cop goes gangsta. Yeah. All right, here we go, John. Gerard Butler, he stars as L.A. Sheriff’s Department detective Big Nick. He’s outspoken, he’s a slob, and he’s a real rough guy. Of course, you know, Gerard Butler. And he’s just come through a bad divorce, a really bad one, so he needs a case, John. He has a lot of movies like that. Yes, he does. You know, Gerard Butler looks like he’s come through a bad divorce. He looks like a divorced man, yes, he does. I know he does. Well, overseas, a big jewel heist. It was just pulled off by Nick’s old adversary, Donnie Wilson, who’s played by O’Shea Jackson. Really good guy. Well, Donnie is smooth, speaks other languages, and he has a high-tech team with all the resources. And Donnie beat Nick in the first film. So after talking with the feds, Nick gets approval to set up shop in Marseille, France, a diamond-rich village frequented by Donnie and his gang. Donnie has a nice big office and a knockout assistant named Giovanna, played by Evan Ahmad. OK, Evan Ahmad. And the plan was to use the first jewel heist as a setup for the big heist coming up next. But now Nick is in town and he wants in. Can Donnie trust Nick? I mean, can you trust him that he’s really gone rogue or can he not? Well, what follows is a game of cat and mouse with lots of plot twists. Nick has serious skills, but Donnie must be careful. Nick proves loyal. So Donnie brings him along on the heist. Well, ultimately, the heist is high-tech and high-drama with varying allegiances and even some outside influences from the mafia. It gets hard to remember just who serves who. So, John, can they pull off the impossible heist? Can they survive the mafia, whom Donnie ripped off before? Not too bright. Will the French police pounce on them before they can make the kill, make the steal?
SPEAKER 08 :
No, it’s the French.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, well, yeah. Of course. And can anyone be trusted in Den of Thieves 2? That’s the story. What do you think?
SPEAKER 08 :
Sounds good.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
I mean, that’s a movie I’d watch.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, that’s our kind of movie. Yeah. All the way. That was made for us. Yeah. They literally made that movie for us. Well, what works in Den of Thieves 2? First of all, Butler and Jackson are perfect in their roles. They really are. They’re manly men with intellect and a charm that relates to the common viewer. That’s me. Mm-hmm. All right. At one point, they discuss their childhoods and dads. And, John, it’s a really good moment that cements their relationship going forward. It was a scene that was really needed in the movie. And it’s just great. They’re just sitting there relating. This is what it was like with my dad. This is what it was like with mine. In a good way. Okay. The plot twists are a real help keeping us guessing. They have, at one point, a really good car chase. And it’s not just a car chase. Okay. You’re flying through the mountains. It’s a car and bullets race. All right, back and forth, back and forth. And you’re probably thinking, oh, Andy, I’ve seen that in every James Bond movie. Yeah, but this is more raw. It’s better. It’s more real. Tearing apart windows and having to just, you know, go after each other. Really well done. Now, not these two after each other. They’re in the same car. Very, very good scene. There’s good high-tech wizardry and plenty of strategy and planning for the heist, which I always like. I love the planning on a heist. I do. And then to see it carried out, it’s always a lot of fun. The second half of this film was very good. I gave the second half of this film three and a half stars. And finally, it has a very good ending. So I like a movie that ends well. What doesn’t work in Den of Thieves 2? It’s far, far too long for a tough guy action film. This thing is two hours and 24 minutes long.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s long.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, yeah. It should have been an hour and 45, John. At one point, they get this party scene where they’re doing drugs and drinking, you know, and it’s just… They could have cut the entire scene.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s too much.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes. And in a number of scenes, and Corey went with me and she was noticing this too, in a number of scenes, there are several minutes of film added where you could have just cut, cut here, cut here, cut here. This is one of the worst edited movies I’ve seen in the last several months. Wow. Very poorly edited. The first half was almost intolerable. It dragged relentlessly. There were good moments throughout. There really were. Even throughout the first half, he had a good moment here, a good moment here. I like the characters. I like some of the character development. But it seemed like the buildup to each moment was several times as long as it needed to be. This had an average script at best. It really needed more humor, especially when you’ve got two actors like this who can really deliver good lines. And they can, can’t they? Absolutely. Yeah, these two guys can really deliver. Just do the writing, all right? This needed more Italian job, less slow Euro movie.
SPEAKER 08 :
Got it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay? There was far, far too little action for a Gerard Butler movie. When you had this great car chase and you had a couple other scenes, you realized, man, we could have used a lot more of this. This needed more John Wick and less slow Euro movie. Because that’s what it is. It’s a slow Euro movie. Europe. I don’t like that. It’s too arty. Ultimately, the biggest problem was the directing and the editing or lack thereof. And that’s the problem with Den of Thieves 2 Pantera. Now, Rotten Tomatoes kind of surprised me here. They gave it 70%. I didn’t think they would. I thought they would be in the 30s. I really did. So there you go. Quality, I’m not going to go that high. I’m going to give it two stars. The first half of this movie is a one-star movie. You know, not zero stars. It’s got several good moments, but it is dragging horribly. Oh, a terrible yawner. The second half of the movie is very good. So if you’re going to watch it, I literally, John, and this is the first time I’ve said this to my wife probably in five years, I literally could have walked in midway through the movie and enjoyed it more.
SPEAKER 08 :
Not missed anything, huh?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, not missed much. Not cared about a lot of the buildup. Maybe a little before midway. Out of 224, I could have watched the last, say, hour and a half. I would have been in much better shape. Political three, more religious two, obviously. This is an okay movie. Den of Thieves 2, Pantera. Do I recommend going to see it? Only if this is really your kind of movie and if you’re willing to be patient through the first half.
SPEAKER 08 :
So not near as good as the first one?
SPEAKER 07 :
I didn’t think so.
SPEAKER 08 :
The first one was good.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, it was. I thought the first one was a lot fresher.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I thought it had a better pace.
SPEAKER 08 :
Shorter, all that.
SPEAKER 07 :
It was shorter. Yeah. I mean, I still like the characters, so I’m there on that, but no, this is not as good.
SPEAKER 08 :

SPEAKER 12 :
Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, last segment of this first hour of this Friday edition, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Andy, one of the things you did when I was gone was best and worst of 2024.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, I did. And I don’t want to obviously go through all that again, but I did want to give you a few high points. Okay. Just because I think some of these you’re going to remember. All right. Now, first, I want to be very proud of one, and that is when I did the most pleasant surprises of the year. And number five, I’ll just go through them. Number five, Arthur the King. We talked about it. Good movie. Number four, Abigail, the little vampire who’s hunting these shallow people. Number three, Oddity, a very surprisingly good little horror film from Ireland, of all places. Number two, Land of Bad with Russell Crowe, the drone pilot movie. Surprisingly good movie. Great movie. And number one, though, the biggest surprise of the year for me was a movie called Flow. And it’s a little cartoon about a cat in this post-apocalyptic world where there’s floodwaters rising and this cat and this dog. Yeah, yeah. There’s no dialogue and they act like they’re real animals. Cat, dog, bird. We just did that one a few weeks ago. Yeah, I did. And, you know, I gave it a very good score and I recommended it to people. This is an animated film and it’s very different, very weird, very good. And well, anyway, at the Golden Globes, which this actually hurts because I hate it when they agree with me. Well, you know, they’re snooty and I don’t like them. But the Golden Globes surprised everybody and gave Flo best animated picture of the year.
SPEAKER 09 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 07 :
Over Wild Robot, over several others that were these big money makers. And they picked Flo over all of them. And it was actually quite a big… upset yeah yeah it was uh really quick here worst movies of the year i won’t put them all but i’ll just say a couple jumped out the crow was awful the substance was awful uh joker 2 was terrible that that was number three number two skincare number one of course y2k which was awful beyond you also when i was gone did homestead right i did i gave it a poor review the uh cory hated it previews look great Yep. Previews look great. And that is another one where the previews, they did a great job putting together the previews. And, boy, you know, Joker, too. They did a good job putting together the previews.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good point.
SPEAKER 07 :
Then you had a terrible movie. It was not good. Corey was angry.
SPEAKER 08 :
Really? Just didn’t like it?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, she’s homeschooled, and the depiction. One thing that we thought was really funny, which was just terrible, you have – The daughter of the rich guy who’s there, right? She’s homeschooled. And she’s upset that nobody’s asking her out. Corey was furious about this. Why? Because she’s like a supermodel. I mean, this girl looks like you would see her in the next, I don’t know, Swimsuit Magazine, whatever, Sports Illustrated. I mean, it’s just ludicrous. Oh, woe is me. None of the boys will ask me out because I’m homeschooled. It’s just like, stop. Stop. Right. Just that wouldn’t happen in real life. No. Are you kidding? She would be sworn walks out to the curb. She’d have somebody. Exactly. You know, they’d be throwing. And then they had a romance between her and another teenage boy. And it was the worst done teen romance I have ever seen in any film.
SPEAKER 09 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’ve seen thousands of films. Oh, yeah. I mean, the writing was so clumsy. All of it was clumsy. It was ham fisted. And you’re just like, oh, my gosh, this was poorly written, poorly designed.
SPEAKER 08 :
It was like an end of the world type movie.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, it was. And I was actually excited about it because it was a prepper thing.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
And I kind of liked it.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t want to watch it because of the program.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to see all the preppers. By the way, they don’t do a very good job of prepping at times. I won’t give away any more of it. Just not very well done. Okay, really quick here. A few nice surprises. Best actress was out of the blue. It just came out of the blue as an actress you’ve never heard of. Second was Hilary Swank with Ordinary Angels. And she was wonderful. Third, you just saw Daisy Ridley in Young Woman in the Sea. She was terrific.
SPEAKER 09 :
Great movie.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. Fourth was Christiana Delano from Cabrini. And fifth was Lupita Nyong’o from A Quiet Place Day One. But number one was Carolyn Bracken. And she’s in the movie Oddity. And she plays twin sisters. One is a murder victim and the other is her psychic sister. that she helps solve the murder, okay? And she was magnificent. I guess she’s like an Irish actress or whatever. Anyway, best movie of the year. We got, oh, biggest letdowns. I had fun with this. I’ll just reel them off. Moana 2, number 5. Number 4, Joker 2. And the reason it wasn’t higher is I didn’t have super high expectations for Joker 2. Number 3, Monkey Man. Boy, did that have great previews. boring movie uh number two if with ryan reynolds they made ryan reynolds boring how do you do that and number one the fall guy uh ryan gosling emily blunt okay best movie of the year um Young Woman in the Sea, Daisy Ridley. And you just saw it. Would you agree?
SPEAKER 08 :
Good movie. Very good movie.
SPEAKER 07 :
Very good movie.
SPEAKER 08 :
If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth watching.
SPEAKER 07 :
But there were some other surprises in there. Wild Robot, number two. Number three, Ordinary Angels. Number four, Hard Miles, the biking thing. About the guy here in town. Alien Romulus, number five of all things. And it was a very good alien movie. Best one I’ve seen since probably Aliens, the second one. Cabrini. Transformers 1 is a fun little cartoon. Worth watching. A Quiet Place Day One, Reagan, and Gladiator 2.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
There you go. So, you know, last year, actually, the reason I mention these again is, hey, it’s rental time.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, some people watch these during the rest of the year and things get snowed in and what have you.
SPEAKER 07 :
Exactly. Exactly.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, before we go to break, and a lot of you probably already saw the news, so I don’t think this is going to be much of news to anyone, but Donald Trump sentenced to unconditional discharge for his quote-unquote felonies, and I put quotes around those because I think it’s all a bunch of hogwash. He’s got now time, of course, with all of this to really go back and appeal these correctly and take his time in doing so and so on.
SPEAKER 07 :
He will. It’s ludicrous from the start to finish. It’s terrible. But my prediction is he is going to have a ball playing the victim on this. See, these people don’t seem to understand. Do you remember the PR he got off the photo after he got convicted?
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yeah, yeah. The mugshot? Yes, yes, yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
Donald Trump… I mean, when they think they’ve got him, he uses it to his advantage. He is going to be the one who is going to all the more highlight the lawfare of the American legal system and how it’s being used by politicians across the board.
SPEAKER 08 :
Which it is.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, and he’s going to use this as his hammer to knock people out of those positions in the deep state. I really do. I think he is going to enjoy the living daylights out of this. It’s not going to affect his job at all.
SPEAKER 08 :
I agree. Before we go to break the L.A. fires, I talked about that during Ready Radio, but some of the little blurbs and I guess you could call them even commercials coming out of the Los Angeles Fire Department, some of the lesbian commercials and so on. Oh, my word, Andy.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, they’re horrible.
SPEAKER 08 :
If I were in that group, I would be ashamed to be a part of it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, in fact, I’ve got a clip here, but I don’t have it queued up. It is horrible. Oh, I saw it. It’s ridiculous. Oh, so you saw it. I’ve seen it, yeah. This lady, and she is like the number two or three in charge. It makes 500 grand a year. She needs to be fired immediately.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, she does.
SPEAKER 07 :
She needs to be fired. Agree. What she says is horrible, it’s bigoted, and it’s also ridiculous. Look, bottom line is, I want a guy who can carry me out of a fire.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, her comment was he shouldn’t be in that position. I’m paraphrasing, but essentially what she said was he shouldn’t have got himself in that position in the first place. Right. That’s basically what she said, right?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you’re worried about me carrying, because there are people who say, well, you know, if it is a woman firefighter, they’ve got to be strong enough to be able to carry a man out of a building.
SPEAKER 08 :
You’ve got to carry a 250-pound man out.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right. I mean, that’s part of the job, right?
SPEAKER 08 :
Her comment basically was, well, you shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
SPEAKER 07 :
You shouldn’t have been in that position in the first place. Is she kidding me?
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s what she said, Andy. We’ll play it Tuesday, but that’s what she said, yes. That’s ludicrous. She should be fired over that comment.
SPEAKER 07 :
Let me tell you something. People who support DEI and rabid environmentalism are not popular in California right now.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, we’ll talk about this more on Tuesday, but how many converts will there be out of all of this when it’s all said and done?
SPEAKER 07 :
A lot. A lot.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think you’re right.
SPEAKER 07 :
There are a lot of people out there right now saying, we have had it with the Democrat Party. No, they failed them. They did. I mean, obviously, we understand it’s a fire with high winds. You can’t stop it. But all of the things leading up to it where they weren’t prepared, we’ll talk about it Tuesday. Total failure.

SPEAKER 08 :
Will there be any upsets is the question.
SPEAKER 07 :
And some not so close ones.

SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, movies.
SPEAKER 08 :
Which is not a lack of, by the way.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, no, no, no. Well, I also had to do it because of the horror movie I just did, Iceland. True, true, true. It was cold.
SPEAKER 08 :
But it’s snowing this week, too, so it’s real fitting. So good job.
SPEAKER 07 :
You know, and this is cold snow.
