HR2 Movie Reviews: Hunter Cub Creek, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Hurry Up Tomorrow 5-16-25 by John Rush
SPEAKER 19 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 16 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes. With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 14 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
SPEAKER 18 :
Get a job, Turk. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 10 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 18 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush, presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 06 :
And we are back. Hour number two, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Myself, Andy Pate, Charlie Grimes, of course, our engineer, Hunter from Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning. How are you? Doing well, John. How are you? I’m good. Are you staying afloat with everybody now turning on their A.C.? ?
SPEAKER 04 :
I think so. I might need to get a bigger bucket here soon, but I think we’re doing all right.
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, I can imagine how busy you are. People get things cranked up and everything, you know, anything that you can imagine happens. In some cases, they go to turn it on. It doesn’t turn on. I mean, you’ve seen it all, I’m sure, here in the past couple of weeks. What kind of pointers can you give folks if, you know, they go to turn it on, nothing happens, what do they do besides call you?
SPEAKER 04 :
The first thing to always check is check your breakers and your disconnect at the unit. Make sure those are good. Sometimes, for whatever reason, they get flipped off. That’s one of those things. You cleaned the AC before the fall, you blew it off and stuff, and you shut the power off, and you figured, oh, I’ll do it in the spring, and then it’s not coming on. The other thing is always check batteries in your thermostat. stuff and make sure that those are good to go. And really that’s about as big as the best things you can do to kind of check before giving us a call. Obviously always make sure the filter’s clean and stuff like that if you’re experiencing any kind of warm air or lukewarm air when the AC is on. Always start with that filter and that should give you a good spot to start.
SPEAKER 06 :
This time of the year, if people are, you know, they’ve got the ability with a thermometer to check the vents and so on. This time of year, and again, it can vary, I know, from day to day, but kind of guessing the temperatures we have now, 70 to 80 degrees or so, what should the vent be blowing right now?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, it really is how we kind of determine how the temperature should read is more off the inside air. So if you take a thermometer and you check the air coming out of the unit to the air going into the unit, so supply and return, typically we want to see when the air conditioner is running, we want to see 15 to 25 degrees temperature. uh temperature difference between the air coming to the unit and the air going out of the unit and that would be your indoor air handler the furnace okay um or something like that so if there’s a bigger you know less of a variation in other words we’re not getting very good efficiencies that’s another reason to call you right absolutely and that’s that’s one of those things you know if if you’re getting lukewarm air or you feel like there’s not very much air coming out of the vents Definitely check that filter. You can run the fan on fan only for overnight and not run the air conditioner overnight because sometimes what will happen is your coil will freeze up and it’ll prevent airflow and things like that. So you can run that fan overnight and then try it again with a fresh filter the next day, and a lot of times that’ll take care of your issue if you are frozen up. And the reason it does freeze up with the dirty filter is it just can’t get enough air.
SPEAKER 05 :
Would you say that filters – really quick here. Sorry to interject.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, you’re fine. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 05 :
Would you say filters are more of a problem in the summer? And the reason I ask, it’s just dustier.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, well, I would say they’re more of a problem in the summer because it is dustier and things like that. We get the pollen flowing and stuff like that. But the other thing is, is when you are in AC, when your AC is running, that is the fastest that blower motor will go. That’s the highest RPMs. That’s the highest output that that blower motor will run on that system. So a lot of times what happens is during the heating season and stuff like that, while it’s super important that way, that airflow is a little lesser. So we’ll get dust bunnies and stuff. So especially right off the bat and the first time of the spring, when that blower motor kicks into high speed for the first couple times a lot of times we dislodge dust and different things like that um and it clogs those filters quicker and typically in the summer months with that being said with that high you have all the pollen everything else your blower motors running on high speed and everything else like that then you have that filter does tend to get dirtier quicker. So the general recommendation for filters is always check them or change them every three months is the max. I would say in my typical recommendations, if you have a walkout basement, anything like that, spot check it. When you go down to the basement, you walk past the furnishes, pull that filter out. If it looks dirty, change it. I would say like 80% of our service calls stem from stem from a dirty filter. Now, that’s not always the only issue, but it’s typically almost always one of the issues.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Good to know. How backed up are you right now?

SPEAKER 17 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks.

SPEAKER 05 :
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 a movie?
SPEAKER 06 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right, John, for yet another horror movie. Another horror movie. For yet another horror movie, we get a sequel in Final Destination Bloodlines.
SPEAKER 08 :
Grandma, what’s happening to us? Years ago, I had a premonition that started it all. I saw what death was about to do. I saved a lot of lives that night. Everyone needs to get off the dance floor! Lives that were never meant to be saved. But death doesn’t like it when you mess with his plans.
SPEAKER 12 :
This book, it will show you everything you need to know to keep our family safe. It all started with Grandma. Death is coming for us because we were never supposed to exist. Watch out!
SPEAKER 08 :
Only by embracing death
SPEAKER 16 :
Maybe deaths aren’t actually coming for our family. Because that would be crazy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, that’d be crazy, John. You’ve never seen any of these, have you?
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ve never seen one single one of these.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right. Well, John, first of all, for those who don’t know the Final Destination movies, these don’t star some classic killer with a knife or chainsaw. The killer is death itself.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right?
SPEAKER 06 :
So there’s no, like, Freddy Krueger running around.
SPEAKER 05 :
There is not. Okay. You see, if you are supposed to die, here’s how it goes. But you cheat death, probably due to a premonition or whatever, then death will keep coming for you. After all, that’s your final destination.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s the whole point.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, in so doing, death in these movies always makes you die in the most bizarre ways, sometimes from the most mundane objects. We’re talking shower curtains, airplane tray tables, lumber trucks, etc. Everything that’s just you wouldn’t think about, that’s what they kill you with. So do you kind of get the feel for this?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yep, I get it.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right. Well, the latest psychically gifted premonition girl is Stephanie. She’s played by Caitlin Santa Juana. And Steph can’t stop the night visions, and it’s wrecking her college grades. So her roommate says, go home, get some answers, get some sleep. At least get out of here so I can sleep. She’s waking up in the middle of the night screaming. Not good for a roommate. Well, Steph has a recurring nightmare about the 1960s. And don’t we all? I mean, seriously, I think we all do. This nightmare has a terrifying collapse of the Skyview Hotel. Now, in it, a woman named Iris dies along with over 100 people. This scene, by the way, it was brilliantly staged, and it opens the movie with lots and lots of gore. And it turns out, though, that Iris is Steph’s grandmother, and she’s still alive. Now Steph seeks her out for a resolution. Well, Iris is living in a rural compound, and you see why, because she’s hiding out, right? And when she talks to Steph, she soon realizes her own psychic gift has been passed down to her granddaughter. Well, naturally, Iris survived that terrible accident due to her gift, but this doesn’t just mean she escaped death. It also means, John, that all her descendants, including Steph, escaped death as well. So none of them should be alive. They should all be dead. But death sees Iris, so family members are at risk. Accident time! Fans love watching these movies, and they watch them for the crazy deaths in the hopeless struggle against our rightful destiny. But Iris escaped before, so can Steph escape now? Can death be cheated, John? Good luck. What do you think? That’s Final Destination Bloodlines. Doesn’t sound bad. Yeah. Well, what works in Final Destination Bloodlines? Well, first of all, the pace is solid. It really is. Building a storyline and developing characters surprisingly well for a movie like this. I was very surprised by that. Naturally, the kills are like watching a bloody game of dominoes. This happens, then this, then this, then this. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Dead.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
And some really gory, terrible death happens to a person. Now, there’s a decent amount of humor and good writing for a sixth film in a franchise. Number six. Yeah, number six in a franchise usually is written horribly, right? I mean, just horribly. This is actually quite well written. It’s surreal, John, listening to talk of philosophy and destiny while prepping for the next bizarre death scene. Very weird. None of this works without pacing and direction. You have to have really good pacing and direction throughout it or this thing would be interminable. But no, both are good. It’s well directed. There’s good pacing. And once again, I just got to say the opening scene is so well done. at that hotel. It is so effective just sewing the dream sequence. And it was one of the most effective I’m going to say horror movie scenes I’ve ever seen. Now, of course, death won’t be cheated and neither will the audience. But a ceiling fan, a backyard barbecue. I mean, John, you may leave the theater fearing everything in your home. So, ultimately, the most impressive thing about this film isn’t just the incredibly creative kills, but also the character development throughout it. Viewers actually care about several death targets. Pretty interesting. Now, what doesn’t work in Final Destination Bloodlines? Well, the kooky, over-the-top staging of kills also kills realism to a point. It does. You see it coming, right? Gore is exaggerated for thrills. Yeah, it’s entertaining. But the bizarre setups and bizarre gore, it reminds you that you’re just watching a movie. It doesn’t feel real. And you know what it’s like, John. You’ve seen scary movies that felt real and scary movies that were just slash, slash, slash. What was scarier? The ones that felt real.
SPEAKER 06 :
The ones that feel real. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. They’re the ones that hit you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
If you are really worried about the person, you’re terrified for them, right? Yeah, and they do as good a job as they can in this, but still, I mean, it just doesn’t feel real.
SPEAKER 06 :
For me, if it gets so gory, it’s almost like, yeah, that’s never happening. Right. So there’s even less shock factor when something really is scary. Am I right? Yeah, it’s true. Because you’re just expecting more gore anyway. So, okay, more gore, more gore, more gore.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re expecting it, so there you go. I mean, when people plummet from hundreds of feet in the eye, guess what? They are meatbags when they hit the ground. It’s true. And the one thing I’m going to give it to them in this movie is… The way people died was bizarre, but the kills looked very real. So I’m going to give it to them for that. Now, here’s another part. An hour 50 is a bit long for something that really is predictable and campy when you think about it. I mean, you know what’s coming. Everybody’s coming for one thing, right? Everybody wants to see these clockwork, ding, ding, this, then this, then this, then this. Have you ever seen those perpetual motion machines, you know, or those machines where the ball goes on the chute and then it hits this and then a lever goes over? That’s what you’re doing and seeing how people tie. Okay. And the thing is, since you’re going to see that, you know it’s going to be there. But once again, it is very well done. Okay, Rotten Tomatoes gave Final Destination Bloodlines 92%. That’s pretty high. You know what? I think they’re basically right. It’s a little rich for me. I’m not going to go quite that high, but I am going to go four stars for quality. Okay. I’m going to give it four out of five. John, this is a good movie. It’s a well-made movie. And once again, the opening dream sequence scene is one of the best I’ve ever seen in a horror film. Incredibly gory, but extremely well-made. And they also have a really good feel for the 60s and the clothing people were wearing and all of it. It was just really well done. Political three, moral religious three, doesn’t say a thing.
SPEAKER 06 :
Good?
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. It’s not in your face about anything. It’s just doing the movie. Do I recommend going to Final Destination Bloodlines? Obviously, for people who can handle horror, right? The answer is yes. Actually, it’s one of the best horror films I’ve seen in the past year. It’s one of the top four or five. It’s worth seeing. Final Destination Bloodlines is a good movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right. Golden Eagle Financial. Al has done some great interviews of late. Stay tuned. He is up next.
SPEAKER 03 :
Al Smith from Golden Eagle Financial and the show you love, Retirement Unpacked, is here with me. How are you today, Al? I’m doing great. How are you, TJ? I’m doing great as well. I have a couple questions for you.
SPEAKER 13 :
As a financial advisor, do you also do taxes? No, I don’t prepare my clients’ taxes. I do, however, spend a lot of time talking to them about taxes. To use a sports analogy, tax preparation is like doing a recap of the game. What I do is more like creating a game plan and then following up over time to see how it’s working.
SPEAKER 03 :
And how much are taxes a part of that game plan that you create?
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, with so many different taxes we’re faced with, it becomes an important thing to take into consideration. It’s not how much income you have, but how much you get to keep. In addition to federal and state income taxes, there’s property taxes, state and local sales tax, and fees. And they all play a part in shrinking our income.
SPEAKER 03 :
What about people who already have really healthy balances in 401ks, IRAs? Won’t they be facing significant taxes as they draw income from those accounts?
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, it depends. Everybody’s situation’s a little bit different. There’s no one size that fits all when it comes to tax planning. But often when I work with people, we’ll create a strategy where we will convert traditional IRAs to Roth over time. And that not only reduces taxes in the future, but it will also lower the tax they’ll be paying on their Social Security.
SPEAKER 03 :
Is that kind of strategy really only for the wealthy?
SPEAKER 13 :
Not at all. Many of my clients who have modest IRAs have chosen to convert to Roth over time. They enjoy the freedom of having a tax-free nest egg that they can access on their own timeline rather than an RMD schedule.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, that is excellent. And how can people reach you if they want to learn about their own taxation in retirement?
SPEAKER 13 :
You can reach me through KLZ or contact my office at 303-744-1128. And when you call, I’ll provide you with a summary of all the tax changes for 2025.
SPEAKER 03 :
You heard it here, folks. Good things from Golden Eagle Financial and Al Smith. Again, you can reach them at 303-744-1128 or just find them on the advertisers page at klzradio.com.

Investment advisory services offered through Brookstone Capital Management, LLC. A registered investment advisor. Live and local, back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 05 :
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 06 :
Is this another horror movie?
SPEAKER 05 :
No.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, okay, good. Well, um… Because actually, the last one, I actually would… I might actually see the last one. I actually now might want to watch the whole… The bizarre… The series, because I’m not a big horror guy, but you got me intrigued in the series of those.
SPEAKER 05 :
The bizarre butchery of people.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I might actually… I might actually watch that.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m going to say this, the Final Destination movies, and there are some duds.
SPEAKER 06 :
Sure, when there’s six of them, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and here’s a really interesting thing. They made the first five in a grouping, and then it had been a decade-ish since they made the last one, I think more than a decade, and then they just came out with the sixth.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
So we may see more. Okay. Well, John, a pop star takes us inside the mythical life of a pop star in Hurry Up Tomorrow.
SPEAKER 01 :
Death is nothing at all.
SPEAKER 08 :
It does not count. Everything remains exactly how it was.
SPEAKER 07 :
Whatever we were to each other.
SPEAKER 08 :
I know this is all really intense. But I’m not trying to hurt you. I’m really sorry about this. I really am. And…
SPEAKER 05 :
All right, John, what do you think? Still sounds like a horror movie to me. There’s lots of screaming. Well, there’s a horror aspect to it. Okay. There is. Okay. All right. Movies about self-destructive pop stars, they always face the greatest villain of all, John, predictability. Okay. I mean, seriously, it’s the same thing every time. Depression, drugs, the downward spiral, watching them go down, down, down. And when you do these kinds of movies, they each time got to find some way to pep it up, some way to make it interesting, some way to bring life into something where everybody knows what they’re going to get. Does that sound fair? All right. Well, in Hurry Up Tomorrow, real life pop star Abel Tesfaye. He’s also known as The Weeknd. He stars as a pop star in Deep Depression. Shocker, right? It starts with a phone message from his girlfriend leaving him saying he wronged her in many ways. Abel is very depressed. I mean, he’s very depressed. So Johnny plunges into drugs and partying, don’t they all? Meanwhile, a girl named Anima… And she’s played by Jenna Ortega, who is quite a star these days, a big star. And she has just burned down a house and is on the run. All right, back to Abel. In a disastrous performance, his voice goes out. Now, he has already seen a doctor who told him his vocal nodes were really, really needing rest. And he was just too stressed. And he basically needed to take time off from performing. But his manager, who’s also his best friend, keeps pushing him. And the guy’s not a bad guy. It’s like, look, a lot of people are depending on this, the whole, you know, the show must go on kind of thing. But he keeps pushing them, and it just, it’s an implosion. Well, after the implosion, Abel meets Anima. Remember, we just mentioned her. And she’s also an intense fan. Well, they connect. So they run off to Santa Monica Pier, enjoying a night of Abel not having to be a star. They could just have fun. Well, the two really connect and they spend a night at a hotel, John. The next morning, Abel feels renewed and ready to resume his tour. But he hears Anima on the phone with her mom and he decides he doesn’t want her coming along. She’s cray-cray. Okay, she’s a little scary. So he decides, no, I can’t have you coming along. So now his biggest fan is upset. John, did you ever see Misery?
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
You get the idea.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, soon Abel wakes up, tied and gagged in bed.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, jeez.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, where Anima demands he change or she’ll do something very bad. And she does bad things. She also plays his songs and dances while he must watch while being gagged and tied. Well, John, what will Abel do? Can he get free? Can he learn and grow up? Is there a tomorrow for Abel? That is the story of Hurry Up Tomorrow. What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
So that means it is kind of a horror movie, but it’s not because he’s kind of kidnapped. Yeah, it’s kind of a music horror movie.
SPEAKER 05 :
We’ll get to it in a moment.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, gotcha. Okay, now I’m following.
SPEAKER 05 :
What works in Hurry Up Tomorrow? Well, Tesfaye, he plays depressed well since that’s him. He comes off as very depressed. Good job. Jenna Ortega is a real young star, and she’s always very, very talented, and she plays this role very well. She does everything that’s required of the role. Okay, now what else works in this movie? O-M-G. Yeah, this is hard. Here we go. What doesn’t work in Hurry Up Tomorrow? John, the pace is glacial. It is glacial. I mean, seriously, I could run around the room with a picture of a still life photo. And just having it run around the room would be more action than you see in this movie. Also, Tesfaye, he cries constantly in the tub. He cries backstage in his hotel room. Anima cries, too. So did I. We all cried, John.
SPEAKER 06 :
Because the movie’s so bad.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, we were all crying. The film blames the breakup for Abel’s depression and drugs. Okay, so he has this breakup. This girl breaks up with him because of how he treated her and whatever. And, you know, how about learning from mistakes and moving on? No, the trauma of breaking up is everything. So you better cry some more. It’s just really ridiculous. This guy basically becoming so self-important that when he goes through a breakup, he can blow up his entire life, unlike all of his fans who have to live theirs. I have no idea. Okay, the writing is boring. Oh, my gosh, it’s so boring. Two depressed people crying about depression.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, that would drive me crazy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Don’t get me wrong. I mean, obviously, when she’s got Imprisoner, that adds a whole new element. And she’s a fine actress. And so now there’s danger.
SPEAKER 06 :
But even in Misery, neither one of them were that way.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. And by the way, those are two great actors in Misery.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Here you had one good actor. Hmm. He’s not a good actor. I mean, all he can do is act depressed.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, you’re right about that. That one, I get you there. He needs to go back to his music. Yeah. Just saying. Not arguing that one at all with you, Andy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Worse yet, Abel and Anima, they don’t even meet until about halfway through the movie. Now, you see her and them, and they kind of go back and forth, back and forth. I don’t know why, but you don’t actually see her meeting him until about halfway through the movie when the movie’s about her and him. Right? Going through this. John, in a fit of artsiness, there’s constant strobing of lights and spinning of rooms. Okay, so he’s getting drugged out and he’s partying. And this time he’s in a car and another time he’s in a party and whatever. But each time the room is spinning and he’s on drugs and there’s strobing lights and whatever. Yeah. You know, let me out, okay? I’m just like, first of all, this is unbelievably boring. You’re doing all this because there’s nothing interesting happening. This is not an interesting person. I know he is to his fans, and that’s who’s going to go to this movie because of his fans. But, John, this is not an interesting person, the character in the movie. He’s incredibly uninteresting. I mean, you ever known anybody with a pet turtle?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, did it do tricks?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, no.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m telling you, he was that boring in this movie. Yeah, you see him up out on stage doing his music routine at times, and that’s fairly entertaining because he’s talented. But so what? I just don’t care. Okay, John, bottom line, this is a vanity project all the way, with a pop star wanting you to applaud his personal torment. But I was too busy surviving my own personal torment.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, your own torment.
SPEAKER 05 :
I know. I think the audience wanted the writers and director tied down and gagged to a bed and made to watch her dance to this guy’s music. I have no idea. I honestly can’t understand why this tedious mess was made. I can’t. I’ve seen home movies with more pep. Wow. I really have. I could watch group therapy session with more interest. I started thinking about all my greatest sins, wondering which one provoked God into allowing this movie. I mean, I must have made him really, really mad, John. I don’t know what I did, but I’m sorry. I just want you to know I’m sorry. And yes, I didn’t make it to the very end. I couldn’t. I walked out. It was just too painful.
SPEAKER 06 :
It was that bad.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. You know how many movies I walk out in a year? Less than an average of one. I mean, I stay… Yeah, you don’t.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, you’re right. You usually suffer through… I stay the distance.
SPEAKER 05 :
You are correct. I couldn’t. I just could not.
SPEAKER 06 :
It was that bad.
SPEAKER 05 :
It was awful. This movie… Remember last year, the worst movie was Y2K.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
And Y2K had cheap set designs, just terrible costumes and everything, unbelievably bad writing, acting where you didn’t care about anybody. It was just horrible, horrible, and I gave it zero stars. Well, this one got 15% from Rotten Tomatoes. I believe that’s from Tesfay fans. It had star power because of him and Jenna Ortega. So you’re actually going to have some people go to this. Quality, zero. Is that bad? So this is in a dead heat. And I didn’t think, in back-to-back years, because that movie, Y2K, was the worst movie I’d seen in about five years.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, it was so breathtakingly awful that I didn’t, I mean, I was just like looking up at the heavens and saying, please, is there some way you could get some lightning in here and take me out now? I can’t take anymore. This is so bad. Political 3, more religious 1 in this movie. So 0, 3, 1. But this movie is as bad as Y2K. It is just a miserable, miserable… You know what? I’m going to say this is worse than Y2K, and here’s why. At least Y2K, I could chuckle a little at the ridiculously bad costumes and clunkiness of it. This was a spinning nightmare.
SPEAKER 06 :
Why was this movie made, Andy?
SPEAKER 05 :
This movie was made for him. The actor, he is, you know, obviously a pop star who wants to get more and more into acting. And by the way, he had a small role in Uncut Gems. You know, one of the only movies of Adam Sandler’s we despised, right? Where Adam was incredible, by the way, but the movie was so depressing. He made a movie that was just about as depressing as Uncut Gems. All right. Wow. Yeah. And this was, like I said, it’s a vanity project. This is a movie for him. And I get a feeling, I get a very strong feeling, because he was a co-producer on this, that he called the shots and that there were probably… Writers, directors, people who actually know how to do movies who were like, maybe we shouldn’t. And he was just like, no. No, baby, I feel it. We’re going to do this. I have a feeling this movie was done exactly how this guy wanted it done. And he knows nothing about how to make a movie. Folks, for Hurry Up Tomorrow, hurry up and don’t go to Hurry Up Tomorrow. If you do, you’re going to be hurrying up to get out of the auditorium. Don’t do it.
SPEAKER 1 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 05 :
What a disaster. Wow. Oh. It hurt. Okay, really quick. This caused physical pain.
SPEAKER 06 :
We’ve got time. I’ll do it really quick.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, go ahead.
SPEAKER 06 :
This is another one of those movies where, because I’ve seen the previews for this, they do a really, really, really good job on the previews.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. The preview makes it look like. Am I right? I’ll say this. The preview doesn’t make it look like a great movie, but it makes it look okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, thank you. It’s not like Mission Impossible, which you’re going to do this next week.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right, right, right.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s not that.
SPEAKER 05 :
I get that.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, but I mean— But it’s not like a total—you don’t look at the preview and think, oh, that’s going to be a loser.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, understand, the people who put together the preview, and we’ve told people this many times— It’s the marketing team. That’s the marketing team. They didn’t make the movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
They’re trying to sell this— They’re taking clips out to make a really good preview.
SPEAKER 05 :
They’re trying to sell this piece of garbage. any way they can by the way good job guys whoever you are right so they emphasize jenna ortega right you know burning a house down looking cool doing it you know right because she’s a fine actress and they and then her having him tied down basically they’re emphasizing a lot more jenna ortega while the movie is much more him okay and i’m telling you what Oh, my gosh. This, it won’t be a career killer for Ortega because she’s okay. But remember, Y2K starred the same girl who was in Snow White.
SPEAKER 06 :
True.
SPEAKER 05 :
And her career after Y2K and Snow White, whoa, it’s at the bottom of the sea somewhere. Jenna will bounce back, but this was not good. If Jenna Ortega puts out another really bad movie, her career is going to go down fast.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s a good question. We’ve got a couple minutes here.
SPEAKER 05 :
This is a career killer if you do two or three of them.
SPEAKER 06 :
How many bad movies does an actor, actress have to make before they’re, like, done?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, it depends. That’s a great question, and here it is. It depends on how big the actor was beforehand. Okay. Okay, Jenna Ortega is a pretty big star right now, and she’s done some really big stuff.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. But she just did Beetlejuice, where she did her usual goth routine, and it wasn’t very good. The sequel was not very good at all. Now she’s done this, which is awful. It’s horrifying. And, you know… You’re getting to a point where if she does one more, I think she’s in real bad shape. Harrison Ford, he made some bad movies, but he had so many really great ones.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, he had so many that outweighed it. I mean, Adam Sandler, we were talking earlier. He’s had a few bad ones. He’s had some duds. But how many good ones has he had?
SPEAKER 05 :
Exactly. So people with that kind of stature, you know, Tom Cruise has made some bad movies.
SPEAKER 06 :
Some, yeah. He has. Not too many, but some.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, not too many. But he has made some. You can get away with it when you’re them because you’re that good. Tom Hanks has made some movies you couldn’t stand.
SPEAKER 06 :
Some of you say, which ones did Tom make that weren’t too good? Wise-eyed shut.
SPEAKER 05 :
Eyes Wide Shut.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, Eyes Wide Shut.
SPEAKER 06 :
Eyes Wide Shut is not a good movie.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. And Tom Hanks, he has made a couple movies semi-recently. He made that one, that one that was out in the desert. Yeah, what was that? It was horrible. And it got all these great reviews. I said, this is a bomb. It’s awful and a bomb. The other one that I can’t stand.
SPEAKER 06 :
It came out, did one decent week and fell apart. The other one I can’t stand. Maybe you like it, but Tom Hanks and Lady Killers. Awful movie. Awful movie.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I don’t think it was a great movie, but I liked it more than you. That was terrible. I loved the performances, but no, it wasn’t a very good movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, not a good movie at all. For him, awful movie. You despised it. Oh, I hate that movie. It’s absolutely awful.
SPEAKER 05 :
When I was watching it, though, I could see how some people could easily despise it. I mean, there are movies where I’ll look at this and I’ll watch and I’ll think, you know, John would find this tolerable. I hate it. But John wouldn’t love it.
SPEAKER 06 :
No.
SPEAKER 05 :
And that’s kind of the reverse of how I felt with, say, Lady Killers.
SPEAKER 06 :
My problem with Tom Hanks in that movie was you’re so used to him being in Cast Away and things along those lines where Apollo 13 and others where it’s just like, okay, you can do better than this.
SPEAKER 05 :
And he did put in a fine performance, but who cares? It’s just an awful movie. It’s just not a good movie. Yeah, it would take an awful lot.
SPEAKER 06 :
So in her case, where she’s not the big star like they are, she can’t afford too many missteps, correct?
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. She’s a pretty big star. Not that big. Because, of course, she had a big TV show. What is it from the Addams Family? I forget the teenage girl.
SPEAKER 06 :
Wednesday.
SPEAKER 05 :
And Wednesday, which was ultra woke, unfortunately, but she was fantastic in it. Because of that, she can ride through a couple of these. I think one more she’s done. But let’s say if she was a nobody and did this film, that would be it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, so here’s a question for you. Yeah, go ahead. These folks all have agents that are telling her to do this, that, or the other. Granted, she gets kind of the final say as to what to do. But wouldn’t you blame some of this, given the fact you’ve got two losers now on your agent? Yes. hey, pal, you’ve got to get me something better than these last two or my career is about done. In fact, I would be thinking, if it were me, Andy, I need a new agent.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. That’s what I would be thinking. Because, look, you’re not coaching me well here. You’re not guiding me well.
SPEAKER 06 :
You’re not presenting very good things to me.
SPEAKER 05 :
Because Beetlejuice obviously was going to have a huge big first week, and it did.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just because of what it was.
SPEAKER 05 :
Then word of mouth started getting around Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, and people were like, this is not very good at all.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
And… And it plummeted. She still, it wasn’t, though, bad enough to really hurt her career, per se.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. But now she’s got this one.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now she’s got this one. And, you know, she hasn’t been on a real role. She needs to get on a role again.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, and she’s young enough to where you ought to be on a role, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
She’s young. She’s a beautiful young lady. She’s talented. She needs to get some real movies. She needs to get, and you know what? It needs to be funny. She needs to do some comedy because she can. But she better pick it up quick, John, because I’m telling you what, it’s not going well. Wednesday is kind of fading from people’s memory.
SPEAKER 06 :
And that’s something I never even, I know nothing about.
SPEAKER 05 :
She had one incredible scene in Wednesday where she goes and dances at a party and does a dance Wednesday Adams, you know, grown up. She’s a teenager. Right. And does this dance in a party. And this has become a YouTube video that has circulated millions and millions and millions of times. And she was just incredible in it. And. After that, she hasn’t done anything that’s really – you know what? You know how you’ve got to hit singles, doubles, home runs. Not every movie is a home run, but that’s okay. She’s been lucky to hit singles. So, yeah. Do I think she’s got to turn around after this? Yes, she does. And I’m looking at some of these other actors. There are actors who are starting to really – Jim Carrey, he did it. He got to the point where he was so huge, and then he did several bad movies in a row, and that was it. and nobody wanted to see him anymore. They didn’t trust him anymore. M. Night Shyamalan, the great director, was thought to be great, and then he did several bad ones in a row. Now nobody wants to go to his movies. They can run out.

SPEAKER 16 :
We don’t yell at you. We inform you. Now, back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right. The question of the day from yesterday, what was the first branded car company in the United States? It’s D-U-R-Y-E-A. I’ve never heard of the company in my entire life. Not something I’ve ever followed.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m not sure how you… My gosh, that almost sounds like diarrhea.
SPEAKER 06 :
It almost sounds like diarrhea. That’s why I didn’t pronounce it. Must not have made it very well.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I’m not as classy as you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Not a big car name today, let’s just say that. Today, impossible question. What device, infamous during revolutionary France, became a symbol of the reign of terror?
SPEAKER 05 :
The guillotine?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, there you go, Andy. Good job.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, really?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, you got it.
SPEAKER 05 :
I just took a shot at that.
SPEAKER 06 :
You got it.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right.
SPEAKER 06 :
Cut your head off. It’s like another horror movie.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, the guillotine is probably the only thing you’d never see used to kill people in Final Destinations.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, good to know.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, they used common things. Maybe a microphone.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, so not to get off, you know, way track here, but if you had to have, like, capital punishment, you’re in that era, you had your choice between being hung, the guillotine, you know, somebody chopping your head off with a sword and so on, what would you pick?
SPEAKER 05 :
What would I pick?
SPEAKER 06 :
Or burning at the stake.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, not that one. I would say probably guillotine.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, because it’s like instant, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, it’s quick.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just like, there it goes. You’re done.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s pretty painless, actually, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
You twitch a little. Of course, I twitched a lot in the hurry up tomorrow.
SPEAKER 06 :
Would you even feel the guillotine?
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t think you would. Not long enough to matter, no.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t think you’d even know, would you?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, you’d be gone so quick. You’re just done, right? Right.
SPEAKER 06 :
What are we talking about? I don’t know. Well, it’s question of the day. That’s why.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, yeah. I mean, what can I say?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. There’s something about the head rolling off that just, you know.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s awful.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. Man, they were, you know, back in time, they were like ruthless.
SPEAKER 05 :
I can think of one of the worst ways to die because you got a movie coming up here where this guy is basically he kidnaps people and then has them killed by sharks.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right. Yeah, that would be an awful way to go.
SPEAKER 05 :
Exactly. He hangs them down into the water, you know, puts blood on them, whatever.
SPEAKER 06 :
The other way to go that I would never.
SPEAKER 05 :
Being eaten by sharks sounds pretty horrifying.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now, they say that this is not much different than a guillotine, but, you know, falling to death, I just can’t think of it. You know, you’re falling that whole time knowing you’re going to hit the ground at some point. And I know it’s not the fall that kills you. It’s that sudden stop at the bottom that does.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. But the buildup to it, I mean, we’ve all seen Cliffhanger. Yeah. Right? Where he finally drops her.
SPEAKER 06 :
I can’t imagine, Andy, because you’re thinking all the way down.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, I thought Stallone should have dropped her right away. Just get it out of the way because, you know, dragging it out only made it worse. What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
No, those are like people’s worst nightmares.
SPEAKER 05 :
I know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right?
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, yeah, falling?
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, falling to death.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, my goodness. Terrible. And then you wake up.
SPEAKER 06 :
Drowning, they say. I mean, how would you know? Because nobody knows. But drowning, you just start breathing underwater, and then you’re done.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, that’s pretty horrifying.
SPEAKER 06 :
I can’t imagine. Yeah, that would not.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Did you see The Abyss?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right. Right? Right? There are movies that do these deaths very well.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
By the way, The Abyss, for those who have not seen the original The Abyss. That’s a good movie. Very good movie. Oh, yeah. Is that Ed Harris?
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, I don’t remember now. Charlie would know. Ed Harris in The Abyss, is that who that was? Yeah, Charlie thinks so.
SPEAKER 05 :
I love Ed Harris.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, there’s ways to die to Andy where it’s like, you know, freezing to death actually doesn’t seem so bad because you just kind of fall asleep and you’re done. Right. Even though it sounds really bad, actually it’s not, probably. Yes, he was, Charlie said.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, so I was right, Ed Harris.
SPEAKER 06 :
So anyways, I don’t know how we got off on, you know, isn’t there movies like that, you know, 101 Ways to Die or something?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. You know, but the reason we’re talking about this is because we have done so many horror movies now over the last two, three years, three years, ever since COVID, because it’s cheaper and these studios are broke. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right. OK. And why are they broke? Because they make crappy movies or what?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, yeah. Well, two reasons, obviously, because COVID drove everybody out of the theaters for for an extended period of time. And even when they came back, the conservatives came rushing back. But the liberals came drifting back slowly because they were the fear. Oh, they’re terrified of their own shadow. Right. And so it took a while, but that was an immense amount of money. But also it affected the production. COVID really affected the production of movies. It was a super huge setback to the entire movie industry.
SPEAKER 06 :
And yet they were all for it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, but there again, that’s just like California in general, right? So many of the things that they do to themselves are so stupid and self-inflicted.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Like, you know, shutting down their offshore drilling, which is incredible.
SPEAKER 06 :
Be careful what you wish for.
SPEAKER 05 :
They’ve lost. So, yeah. Hollywood took COVID and made it much worse. Put on steroids. Right. And wrecked itself. Right. And now we see horror movies everywhere.
SPEAKER 06 :
Because they’re cheap. Because of that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Because of the simple cost and all the ramifications of and so on.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. I mean, the only kind of movie that would be cheaper to make would be something like Wayne’s World.
SPEAKER 06 :
We’ve got two minutes left, roughly. AI. How is that going to affect movies? Because the actors and a lot of the unions and so on are 100% against AI, but I’ve got to believe it’s going to have an impact.
SPEAKER 05 :
It will. And I think it’ll have a good impact. Yeah, I think obviously the CGI. Now, the people who I think are going to be the most worried are not as much the actors. They talk about that, right? Yeah, well, the writers, but also the people who do the CGI, where it used to take 10 people to do this scene, right? Yeah, not anymore, Andy. Or a series of scenes. Now one or two can do it with CGI.
SPEAKER 06 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, you’ve got to have somebody over it. Yeah, but that’s about it.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, you are. You literally said that correctly, going all the way down to one to two people.
SPEAKER 05 :
That, the people in the production crew, are the people who could really be seeing their jobs cut off. Now, that can be huge.
SPEAKER 06 :
I watched a guy in a clip last night really quick of there’s now, because I got Charlie watching these now, there’s these AI-generated videos now of babies that look and act and sound, and they’re really dubbing in, like Judge Judy, for example. They do it with babies. Trump. Oh, Trump. And it’s absolutely hilarious. If you guys haven’t seen these, it’s hilarious. And it’s all done. I watched last night a guy literally take Jerome Powell, and put a baby’s face and baby’s body and everything on Jerome Powell giving his last speech to the Fed.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right.
SPEAKER 06 :
And the guy, and I’m not joking, the guy using AI, literally, you walk through it, he literally made that of Jerome Powell in a matter of about 20 seconds. So to your point, Andy, you’re going to now take what people would spend hours upon hours doing and condense that down to little to no time at I think the product is actually going to get better. I agree with you on that. But I think the number of jobs is going to go down. I agree with you on that one as well.
SPEAKER 05 :
Nobody ever thought creative jobs could be threatened.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, they’re going to be. Big time, Andy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, people in creative jobs never cared about all the other people whose jobs are threatened. Elsewhere in the economy. Until now.
SPEAKER 06 :
And now it’s hitting them. Until now. Interesting. We might talk about that more on Tuesday. You guys have a great weekend. Don’t forget, first thing in the morning, Fix It Radio followed up by Drive Radio. If you’ve got a car problem or anything around the house, be sure to tune in then. Otherwise, have a fabulous weekend. Enjoy the sunshine. This is Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 14 :
Ordinary average guy.
SPEAKER 1 :
Ordinary average guy.
