HR1 Andys Five Star Movie Reviews: Sketch, Freakier Friday 8-8-25 by John Rush
SPEAKER 08 :
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 me? 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. When you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So I got that going. And movie reviews with Andy Payton.
SPEAKER 16 :
I think 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 09 :
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 13 :
Chief Lane, 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.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m done.
SPEAKER 07 :
Now, here is your host of Rush to Reason, John Rush.
SPEAKER 06 :
And it’s Friday. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Myself, Andy Pate, Charlie Grimes, and we made it through the week. Or all of you did, or mostly through the week. We made it. We’re close enough.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. It’s time for Friday. Do you like Fridays? Time to relax. You know, it’s just another day, just another Trump stopping another war. Do you like Fridays, though, on average? Well, yeah, because I get to do this. I love doing movie reviews.
SPEAKER 06 :
I love doing movies. I like Friday. I mean, it’s not my—some people would say, well, yeah, it’s your last day of the week. Well, for most— No, it isn’t. Not for me. I’ve still got another day tomorrow. No, you’ve still got tomorrow. I’ve got tomorrow, but that’s all right. I still enjoy Fridays.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, you have one day off a week. Right, Sunday. And for those who don’t know, John treasures that day with his wife.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes, I do. And normally I’m doing something around the house working as well, but that’s all right. It’s all good. That’s who you are. It’s all fun. You’ve got to take care of business. You’ve got stuff to do.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, but John, there are people out there who… They can’t get by working those 30 hours a week. I’m sorry. I was talking earlier. There’s so many people complaining that they’re not getting as many handouts now to do nothing.
SPEAKER 06 :
You weren’t here that day, but I was watching a video the other day of a mom. And I really thought to myself, well, mom, this is your fault as much as it is the kid. But the kid’s like 17 or 18, I think, in college. And mom and dad made her get a job, especially in the summer, to try to help offset some of the tuition costs and so on. So the girl comes home from the first day of work and she says, I quit. I can’t do this. Five days a week. How can anybody work five days a week in a row and eight hours a day, mind you, and then do it five days in a row? This is insanity. How can anybody work that much and not have a life? And I’m like, and the mom, of course, is laughing. And I’m thinking, Mom, yeah, you didn’t do a very good job of training her because she should have known all this on the front side.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, John, I think that this reality is also going to visit people across the ocean. I’m talking about Europe. Because of the EU deal. No, seriously now. You’re right. Think about all the tariff money that they were using to float Europe. Their budgets. Their economies. That’s right. Yeah, because you had people in France.
SPEAKER 06 :
Their governmental handout programs, Andy. Let’s say it that way.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, you had people in France doing four-day work weeks.
SPEAKER 06 :
And they got to have their siesta at noon and all that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Just kicking back. Yeah, yeah. And so many people. Now, there are places in Europe where you work very hard, but there are many places in Europe where you absolutely do not, especially not compared to what a lot of people, blue-collar people, here in America do. Correct. Okay. You work a ton of hours. I’ve got a lifetime of working a ton of hours. I look at Europe. Guess what, folks? Saddle up over there. You’re going to have to get to work. You’re going to have to actually produce more because… America isn’t footing the bill anymore. What are you going to do?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and thank you for saying that, Andy. I agree with you. I was thinking about that the other day. It’s funny you say that because I was thinking the very same thing the other day. I’m like, okay, the other thing that’s going to happen when it comes to the change that’s happening right now worldwide is there’s a lot of these countries, and I’m not talking some of the Asian countries and so on. They treat their people like slaves. That’s not the EU anymore. of things, but there’s a lot of folks in the EU, to your point, that are absolutely pampered. I mean, they’re in some cases down to a 32-hour work week and trying to push that on America.
SPEAKER 05 :
With an enormous welfare state, by the way.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and I’ll tell you, folks, and some of you may not like hearing this. Well, most of my listeners won’t care, but some folks out there won’t like hearing this. 32 hours is a part-time job. I mean, that is nothing. I mean, 32 hours, if you can’t put that in, I feel sorry for you. Really, I do. Because there’s a lot more hours in the week to work besides 32. Oh, yeah. And we are known as, keep this in mind, I’m going back to this, we’re known as a nation of being productive, being innovative, thinking on our feet. We won the Second World War because of the things I just said. We won it for other nations, by the way. The very nations that, by the way, have been taking advantage of us on these tariffs now for decades, those nations are the ones we actually won the war for, and it was because of American hard work in, you know, at that time, everybody working. There were, you know, Rosie the Riveter, I mean, there was a There’s a reason why she was called that, because everybody was working, ladies included. The reality is we as a country know how to work, and we showed the rest of the world how to do it, and we’ve lost some of that edge, Andy.
SPEAKER 05 :
John, I remember when I was managing a casino, these were 12-hour days, but it was also travel time from way down here.
SPEAKER 06 :
Sure.
SPEAKER 05 :
John, these were over 15-hour days.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. And that was just normal.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right. That was just the way… Just an average day.
SPEAKER 05 :
Just go up. Right. You work a long time, you come back, you get to… Anyway, looking at Europe, they’re going to have to get to work.
SPEAKER 07 :
And… You’re right.
SPEAKER 05 :
They’re not going to be able to have this enormous number of people getting free health care, free this, free that, living off… Because guess what? You could do all that while America was paying for all your weaponry and defending you. And you could do all that while America was buying all your goods and paying you guys big tariffs for anything we bought from you. I got news for you. That’s gone.
SPEAKER 06 :
You’re right, Andy. And again, I keep saying this, and I’ll keep saying it over and over again. High time. It’s been decades. We never should have allowed to have it be that way in the first place. We should have sat our foot down years and years and years ago. We didn’t. We allowed it to continue to go on. And it’s ridiculous that we’ve allowed it to do that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, last question before we go to break. Canada. Okay, as you know, Canada, Trump is determined to burn them to the ground. I’ve said this from the start, okay, and he will. But eventually they’re going to have to sign a deal which is going to be horrendous compared to what they’ve had in the past. Can Canada going forward continue to have socialized health care? I mean, they don’t invent any drugs or treatments. That’s all done by us. They invent absolutely nothing. They subsidize everything, and they can do that because they had tremendously imbalanced trade with the United States helping pay for it. Okay, that’s going bye-bye. So how are they going to pay for this? How can they have all these people? They already have ridiculously long lines. People can’t even get to the care they need half the time. That’s right.
SPEAKER 06 :
You’re right.
SPEAKER 05 :
But setting that aside, how are they going to afford it at all? You tell me.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, I think a lot of these countries, Andy, are going to have to sit down. Sugar daddy going bye-bye. Yeah, this is the scare that I think a lot of these leaders had in the first place was, okay, whoa, if we lose this, this could be crippling. No, they didn’t say that at first. At first they were thinking, oh, you know, he’s just a blowhard. Trump’s just a blowhard. He doesn’t mean any of this. This isn’t going to actually happen at the end of the day. We’ll be okay. Trust me. I guarantee you those things, Andy, were said probably verbatim.
SPEAKER 05 :
Can they look at our southern border and still think the guy doesn’t mean what he says?
SPEAKER 06 :
I think at this point they’re probably all looking at each other saying, oh, crap.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, this is happening.
SPEAKER 06 :
We misjudged this one, didn’t we? Yeah. And now you’ve got the holdouts, countries like Mexico, Canada, India, others that are holding out. I don’t know what they’re holding out for because the longer they hold out, the worse it’s going to hurt. They should have come to the table long before now.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, India has really sustained its economy on cheap Russian oil, and for them to go away from Russian oil is going to be devastating for them. That’s why they’re holding out. India wanted to cut a deal with us right away. They were one of the first in line, and they offered to take their tariffs down to zero immediately. India was right up first in line. Why? They were trying to beat the rush. And they were afraid of what was coming. What they didn’t understand is this. Donald Trump is determined to shut Russia down. Well, he’s determined to use the American consumer to stop war all over the earth. And that means now India is getting killed.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. And the other thing, too, that some of you maybe don’t realize, not only was India subsidizing a lot of what Andy just talked about, economically speaking, because of that cheap oil, that cheap Russian oil. They were making money on that oil. They were taking that money and flipping it. It’s like taking used cars and flipping it. That’s all India was doing, or not all, but a portion of that oil coming in, they were flipping. In fact, probably never touched the oil. They were flipping that before it ever even made it to their coastlines, of course. They were flipping that before it ever got there. So that’s ending.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, they had cheap oil for their people. And by the way, they can have it back. India, I guarantee you, look, what happened immediately after Trump did that, Putin called Trump. You don’t think that there was a call from India to Putin? There was. And also from China.
SPEAKER 06 :
Hey, pal, you’re screwing up our deal.
SPEAKER 05 :
And China, too, because China’s looking at Putin saying, hey, we’re next. He’s going to do it to us next. So I guarantee India and China, they called Putin and said, stop the war. So good news for India. This all goes away once Putin stops dropping bombs.
SPEAKER 06 :
Great point. All right, Dr. Scott Fogner coming up next.

SPEAKER 05 :
Back to Rush to Reason. And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, John Rush, together with Andy Pate and John! John! Are you ready for a movie?
SPEAKER 06 :
I forgot to ask, which one’s first today?
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, well, John, we’re going to start with a kids’ film from Angel Studios.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right. Angel Studios is back with a very inventive kids’ film dealing with personal loss in Sketch.
SPEAKER 09 :
Amber, you’re incredibly creative. Here’s the thing. Life is all about balancing the good and the bad. If you don’t carry the good with you, too… then it’s just gonna make the bad stronger.
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s always kind of been her thing, right? Drawing?
SPEAKER 09 :
All kids like to draw.
SPEAKER 01 :
But has she always been so… eiders?
SPEAKER 09 :
Eiders. She’s working through some stuff.
SPEAKER 12 :
Are we orphans?
SPEAKER 09 :
No. You have a dad. I’m alive.
SPEAKER 12 :
Then what are we?
SPEAKER 11 :
What do you call an orphan that still has a dad?
SPEAKER 09 :
Come on.
SPEAKER 11 :
You know, feelings aren’t bad. When you get angry, sad, or scared, put it in here, or you can’t hurt anyone. Is everything okay?
SPEAKER 12 :
I found this place in the woods. We dropped Amber’s notebook in it. And now I’m worried that Amber’s drawings might be… What are you talking about?
SPEAKER 05 :
What are you talking about? You don’t get really any feel for what the movie is from that.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, I do not.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, well, Bianca Bell, she stars as Amber, a 10-year-old girl living with her dad, Taylor. He’s played by Tony Hale. He’s actually been in a lot of stuff. And her brother, Jack, played by young Q Lawrence. Mom has died, and they’re all dealing with the loss, John, so it’s a very traumatized little threesome there. They’ve been through a lot. Well, Amber is odd, to say the least. She almost has Tourette’s, blurting out uncomfortable things at odd times. She lives in her own world, but above all, she draws in a notebook. And basically the idea is don’t just shove it down, write it out, draw it out. Well, Amber’s drawings are horrifying, with monsters everywhere and dark characters running swords through victims. Really dark stuff. Though she is highly intelligent, she just can’t cope with the loss of her mom with what has happened. Jack, well, he’s a good kid trying to be a good brother, but he doesn’t understand Amber. I mean, who would? When you look through her notebook and you see all this horror, horror, horror, what would you think, John? You’re a kid. Your sister is just writing horror, horror, horror in notebooks.
SPEAKER 06 :
Some disturbance there of some kind.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, you’d be pretty worried. Well, as for their dad, Taylor, well, he’s buried, of course. He’s trying to raise these kids while not having the time to process his own grief. Plus, with the help of his realtor sister, his sister’s a realtor, they’re trying to sell his house. That kind of makes sense. You want to move on. You just want to get away. You don’t want the memories. It’s too much for you. The kids don’t understand that. But for you, it’s just too much. Well, then one day, young Jack discovers a pond in the woods with magical powers. He’s fallen, and his cell phone is broken, right? Well, it falls in the water, and it’s completely fixed instantly. It has a broken plate. That falls in the water. That’s broken. I mean, it’s fixed. Totally fixed. So basically, it’s healing waters. Well, eventually, Amber’s sketchbook also goes in the pond, and that’s when things go crazy. Amber’s frightening creatures. They come to life because the pond gives life. And now you have thousands of, I mean, it’s really something furry, little purple spiders are actually called eiders because they have one eye. Oh, see, so it’s an eye with tentacles. So eiders. And this is what she’s created. And you’ve got towering monsters. You’ve got all kinds of monsters. And they overrun the house. They eventually fly through the town. Well, can this family stop the chaos? Can they heal and move forward? We find out in Sketch. What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
And this is an Angel Studio.
SPEAKER 05 :
This is from Angel Studio.
SPEAKER 06 :
Gotcha. Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right. Well, what works in Sketch? Well, first of all, John, children have no filter. So their imaginations can show us their true feelings. Have you noticed this? We adults are constantly around people our age who conceal everything. We have to. We’ve been hurt too much. We’re all jaded, right? But kids don’t conceal hardly anything. Or when they do, they make it even more obvious they’re concealing something. Well, this story does have a good job. It does a really good job showing how those feelings can run amok if they’re not dealt with. Now, there are some really good performances. Tony Hale, he’s a veteran comedic actor who delivers plenty of witty comments with good timing. Does a good job. Darcy Carden, she plays his sister Liz, and their comedic timing going back and forth is what you’d expect from veteran actors. So she’s trying to sell the house, and he keeps interrupting, and they go back and forth. They have this little bit of bickering that you would see from adult brother and sister.
SPEAKER 06 :
Sure.
SPEAKER 05 :
And the timing of it is really well done. The showstopper, though, is Bianca Bell. who has a big future. She really does. John, I looked. This is her first movie. This is the first anything that she has done. She’s out of nowhere. She seems like the next Winona Ryder. Not just with the look, I mean her delivery, her way of doing her role, this blurting things out, this timing, this steely gaze, dead-eyed but pretty, emotional but suppressed. She was really capturing it and doing a great job. I don’t know where they found this girl, but I just want to say the name again, Bianca Bell. Be looking for her. There’s kind of a neat little message, draw it out, don’t act it out.
SPEAKER 07 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. It’s much better to draw your feelings, to draw your frustrations in a book, even if they’re dark, rather than obviously acting on them, maybe getting in fights at school or maybe even worse. Now, most people have seen the trailers with the monsters and these are very different. I get that. They really like the kids drawings. This is what kind of got me, okay? You see special effects in a lot of these movies where things come to life. This is different. They’re much more like kids’ drawings with jagged edges, simple lines, and they go tearing at you, and you’ve got this monster coming at you, which really does look like something a kid would draw. Mm-hmm. The darker ones are especially impressive, racing through the forest. They have very inventive special effects. I’ve never seen them like this before. So I thought that was neat. Now, what doesn’t work in Sketch? Well, I’m not sure this film has an audience. Serious. It’s too childlike for teens. It’s too scary for little kids. It’s too silly for adults. And it’s too serious and psychological for the feel-good summer viewers. I’m not really sure why. what the audience is going to be for sketch i don’t know where they’re going to get an audience the acting from the bully all right there’s this blonde kid in there who’s a bill who is a bully but he winds up being a big character who is working along with the kids dealing with these drawings that have come to life okay he is a terrible actor his acting is breathtakingly bad and he has a big role And it’s almost like every time he tries to speak, John, he just shuts down the whole movie. He’s just awful.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s too bad.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and he’s another kid I don’t think who had done anything, and I don’t think he will going forward. In fact, this kind of feels like two different movies, with adults doing an adult comedic drama and kids doing a poorly acted school play. Outside of the girls. She’s terrific. But a lot of the kids, you know, they’re just being kids and they’re acting very poorly. They just aren’t up to it. And you got two different movies going on at the same time, two different worlds. It doesn’t work. Now, the story drags terribly through the middle as more monsters are paraded before us without anything new really happening. It’s just more special effects. You know, this is how you stop this one. This is how you stop that one. But not a lot is happening. Oddly enough, the monsters slow the story. I wouldn’t have expected that. While the adults deliver their comedic lines well, the lines aren’t very comedic. This isn’t that well written. All right. So I would have expected if they had had better writing. For this movie. And there have been a lot of these kind of kid things. It comes to mind. He had much better writing for the kids. Of course, he had better acting for the kids. I mean, Bianca Bell in this is the only one who could have been in the movie. Anybody else would have been tossed in casting. But it was much better written. Why? Because the young characters had a lot more funny lines than they have in this. This doesn’t hold up. I nearly dozed off a few times. I was truly bored watching this movie. And I hate saying that because this comes from Angel Studios. All right. Rotten Tomatoes loved this movie. They love Sketch. They gave it 95%. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, 95%. I’m not going to give it a terrible grade, but honestly, John, I just thought it was an average movie. I’m going to give it two and a half stars. I thought it was very impressive with the look of what they were able to do with a lot of the creatures, and I thought it was very touching with trying to cope with loss. I just didn’t think the acting, especially from the kids, and the writing, I didn’t think it was that good. I just didn’t think it held up, and I think the movie dragged because of it. Political score, three. There was nothing. More religious, a four.
SPEAKER 06 :
Good message.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, it has a good message. You can’t just suppress these things. You’ve got to get it out there. But writing it out is a way, and I think all kids can learn from this. Writing it out is a way to get it out without hurting anybody. including yourself.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s a good message there.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s got a good message. Do I recommend people go to Sketch? Yes and no. I’m not against, I’m not saying don’t go to it. I do think the Christians who go to it, obviously, are generally going to give it a great score because they score anything from Angel Studios. It could be a blank piece of paper. And they would give it an A-plus because they want their guys to have a high grade. That’s just the way it is. But even the audience scores were in the low 80s for this. So they were coming out of there not as impressed as the reviewers were, which I wasn’t quite sure why. But they still liked the movie. It seemed to me that the crowd was okay with it, but they weren’t really into it. Do I recommend going to Sketch? Only if you want to see kind of a quirky little film about kids coming and learning about life. There you go.

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 another movie?
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s a remake, right? Oh, yes. Okay, remake.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, no, no, no. This is a sequel.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, sorry, sequel. That’s what I meant to say, sequel.
SPEAKER 05 :
Did you see the first Freaky Friday?
SPEAKER 06 :
No, I did not.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, you didn’t?
SPEAKER 06 :
No.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s a fun little film.
SPEAKER 06 :
Really?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. It was actually a pretty good film. Okay. Well, let’s dive in. A new generation brings a comedy sequel in Freakier Friday.
SPEAKER 15 :
Change the hearts you know are wrong. To reach the place where you belong.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh my God, what is happening? Who am I? It’s me, it’s mom. If you’re me and I’m you, then who’s that? I’m grandma, sweetheart. Last time, we convinced everyone that we were each other until we switched back. I didn’t want to be a part of this family, and now I’m part of some dodgy family curse? And I’m the eldest? As teenagers, we have no power. But as adults, we can break our parents up for good. Jump, jump, jump, jump! All you have to do is reunite her with her first love. Very good. Flip your hair. Good. Big moves. Bite your lip. Not your top lip, your bottom lip.
SPEAKER 03 :
I know what this is. You’re having a stroke.
SPEAKER 12 :
No, no, I just need to go to the bathroom. I was really bad at that. So bad at that. Any other ideas? Let’s just get back out there. Otherwise he’ll think I’m pooping. Too late.
SPEAKER 05 :
There you go, Don. Too late. What do you think? Sounds funny. Do you know the premise of the first film? No. Okay, really quick. In the first film, mother and her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, they switch bodies. They don’t want to, but they switch bodies. And through this, they have to learn all about each other before they can go back. And that’s about it. And it was a lot of fun. It was actually a good little Disney flick. Okay. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, they return in their roles of daughter, mother, Anna and Tess Coleman. Having previously switched bodies with Tess, Anna now has a teenage daughter named Harper, who is struggling at school in rivalry with a girl named Lily. Anna, by the way, is a single mom. Well, the two girls, they cause a big stir at school, so their parents are called in. Well, immediately, Anna falls for Lily’s dad, Eric, played by Manny Jacinto. I don’t know why I forgot that. He’s actually been in a number of things. He’s one of these super Hollywood hunks that they roll into these movies. Well, the two flirt aggressively, and six months later, they’re engaged. But the girls still hate each other. Then, while partying to celebrate the engagement, Tess and Anna walk into a place with a psychic giving readings. Now, this psychic knows too much about their past of having to walk in each other’s shoes, so they try to leave. They don’t want to relive that again. They never want to go through that again. Well, then the psychic warns them that more is coming. Now they panic and leave. And guess what? The girls, they also bump into the same psychic, and they get the same message in a different way. But they have no idea what it means. Well, soon, they all switch bodies. Anna, she switches with her daughter, Harper. And Grandma winds up, Grandma Tess, winds up switching with Lily. Now, the young girls, of course, are horrified being in older bodies. While Tess and Anna, they’re horrified at just going through all this again. They don’t want to go through this again. This is horrible. And guess what? The wedding is coming. This is really bad. Now that the young girls are trapped in older bodies, they find one. It’s kind of funny. They find one thing they can agree upon. They want to break up the marriage so that they never have to see each other again. They still hate each other. And they figure, okay, now that we are in these two older bodies, we can break up this marriage. And at least we can end that because we feel eventually we’re going to get back to our bodies. And meanwhile, Tess and Anna, they love being in young bodies, but they want their lives back. So they have fun. They can eat whatever they want. Right. Because they’re young and super thin. Right. And they’re teenagers. But they’re just like, I want to get back to my life. I really do. You know, one is engaged. The other one’s happily married. They just want to get back.
SPEAKER 07 :
Gotcha.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. So the battle is on. Can the wedding survive? And can everyone get back to their bodies in Freakier Friday? What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
Again, it sounds funny.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
The whole body switching thing is always fun.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, it can be very fun. Yeah. Well, what works in freakier Friday? Well, remember how Democrats studied men like we were in our species? Remember that? How they had to study men. And they spent a lot of money. What? Like 20 million studying men. Well. With the help of my wife, I had to study what women liked about this movie because I didn’t get it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. And I’ll just tell people right now, the audience reviews, which, of course, are pumped up because, you know, it’s people who want to see this exact kind of movie.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
They’re coming back in the mid-90s, and it’s all women. I mean, it was me, my wife, and all women. In the auditorium. All right. And so I had to go to her and say, what did they like about this movie? Because I’m going to tell you right now, being a guy, there was nothing. And she did some reading up on it. And she was also going by what she kind of experienced. She said two things, really. Nostalgia. They really like the nostalgia of it, going back to these two actresses and sentiment. You see, John, I got it with Barbie. I got that, okay? Hating men, blaming men, depicting men in all the worst ways. That was hate activism, rage activism. That’s why Barbie made a zillion dollars, okay? I just didn’t know why anybody would go to this. All right. This also, though, had some good other things. It made fun of gentle, liberal parenting. Now, I like that. All right. It just made fun of it. So they were trying to do this gentle, liberal parenting. It didn’t work at all. Kids hate it and they ignore it. You’re trying to push all the right buttons like your kid is a science project. And the answer is be the adult. Be the adult. Quit trying to hit every perfect button with your kid and then falling apart in self-guilt when it doesn’t work. It’s like, you know what? Your kid’s not a science project. They’re a creepy person just like you. You’re going to have to deal with it and be responsible and tell them what to do sometimes. And I kind of like that. You had a few good one-liners in this movie. Now, Lindsay Lohan, she looks great. Boy, does she look great. Remember, she had thrown her life away for a while there.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right, correct.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, she’s totally back. I mean, she is totally well adjusted. She’s off the bottle. She’s living a good life, a happy life these days. And I just think that you can really see it in her. She looks so healthy and she’s a funny actress. She always was. And she and Jamie Lee Curtis, they do what they can with their roles. They do a good job. Manny Jacinto, he’s the ultra hunk for the ladies. and they like that of course so all the ladies like and the funny thing about him is he looks great for women young and old they’re all gonna like him he’s a guy who’s around 40 years old and just you know i mean he’s a hunk what can you say they also had these goofy driving scenes because why you got the young girls who are in the older bodies now they can drive and do whatever they want to a car yeah so they’re very excited so of course they don’t drive too well right And finally, you’ve got women. Women enjoy the young women experiencing old woman problems stuff, right? Because Jamie Lee Curtis, her body doesn’t move anymore. You try to get up, and it’s a terrible experience. You go through all kinds of, shall we say, feminine issues that the young girls have no idea how to experience any of this. And for them to have to go through that was pretty funny, I think, for some of the audience. All right. What doesn’t work in Freakier Friday? I hate to say it, it’s a longer list. The young girls can’t act. These two young girls were chosen for their looks solely. Okay? I’m sorry. In the original, Lohan and Curtis, they mimicked each other. And if you had seen the first Freaky Friday, you would see this. The two actresses had clearly studied each other, how they talked, how they moved, how they acted. And they mimicked it, making it realistic that they had changed places. Right? Right. Well, in this film, the young girls were clearly chosen for their looks, not their acting. And they basically just got really flustered, right, really emotional at the horror of what was happening, and they read their lines. It didn’t come off at all. One of them didn’t even change her accent, so they basically said she had to speak in the same accent. It was very weird because she had a British accent. Another thing, lost opportunity. There were so many funny situations with so little good writing. This had boring lines. This was not a well-written comedy. And you can’t say, well, Andy, it’s because you’re a guy. No, man, I’ve seen a lot of chick flick comedies that have a lot of great funny lines with really funny bridesmaids.
SPEAKER 06 :
Mean Girls, I can go down the list.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, the original Mean Girls had all kinds of funny lines. And isn’t it romantic? Another one. There are so many of these comedies that are girl-centered, which are much better written. The lines in this just weren’t very well written. Next, the initial scene of Anna flirting with Eric. Okay. When she meets, because the two parents are brought in, and they’re both single parents, right? They’re brought in because their daughter’s got in a fight at school, and immediately they fall for each other. And it’s one of the most exaggerated, cringeworthy scenes of this entire year. It was so clumsy, John. It was painful. It wasn’t funny. I didn’t know if I could take much more. It was just like, stop. Just move on. I don’t care if the next scene is a horror movie scene. Just stop this scene. It was that bad. It was not funny. Next, you really had no distinctive characters. And I think this is one reason it was pretty hard for the adult actors. While they did a pretty good job, Lohan and Curtis, of acting like teen girls, these were not very distinctive, interesting teen girls. And so there wasn’t that much that you could do with the acting because there wasn’t that much that you could do with the roles. Okay. They had music in this with rock music where they would get up on stage. It was boring music. It was poorly done. They’ve got this one actress, and she’s an actress from India. She’s Maitre Ramakrishnan.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
That part’s easy. Right. Well, she was supposed to be this rock star girl who was being managed by Lindsay Lohan’s character, okay? She is not attractive or interesting. I have no idea why they chose her. In fact, the cast seemed to be a diversity show, a lot of the cast, right? And so you had to have, let’s see, the black one, you had to have the Asian ones, you had to have the Indian one, you had to have the whatever cast. You had one scene where they had to show the pride flag several times in this scene. And it was just like, guys, I know you’re a Disney film, but you do realize Disney is going underwater because of all this stuff.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right, right, right.
SPEAKER 05 :
You might want to not do this. Don’t Disney another movie because what you’re making is another Disney dog. OK, the whole movie felt tedious. Now, this Corey totally agreed with me that the opening was fine. Right. It’s kind of interesting. You’re getting you’re welcoming back the characters. You’re seeing them and you see the two girls who hate each other and whatever. But then for about 45 minutes, I’m not kidding. For about 45 minutes in the middle of the movie, this thing was on autopilot. It was a slog. And also, you got about 45 minutes of story. Because remember, I gave you the basics. Unfortunately, that’s about it. You had about 45 minutes of story with an hour and 51 run time. Oh, did this drag. It was a slog. What this had was really, really poor editing. Terrible editing. There was so much left in this film that they could have cut out. There were a few good scenes here and there. There were some scenes here and there that I was looking and saying, that was a pretty good scene. This was pretty good. And my wife could tell me, hey, this is a scene that the women would really like. No guy would want to go to this, okay? Bottom line, this was not a good movie. Oh, one last thing. They had a couple cameos from female comedy actresses, and their cameos were boring. They were poorly written. It’s just like there’s no point being – So why bother? Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, right.
SPEAKER 06 :
Leave those out, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
Or write them better. I know I’m talking as a guy here, but you know Adam Sandler, in his movies, they always have a couple cameos from various actors, but they’re really funny.
SPEAKER 06 :
I know. They work.
SPEAKER 05 :
They work.
SPEAKER 06 :
Like Bob Barker.
SPEAKER 05 :
Like Bob Barker. They throw a lot of great writing and acting into those. Correct. and these didn’t work at all. They were terrible. I’m just like, oh, my gosh. You’re just dragging it out. You’re making it more painful. Okay, Rotten Tomatoes. Now, this is interesting. It started up close to 90. Those were all the early reviews. Then the other ones started coming in. It got down to, last I saw, 72%. Wow. It just kept dropping and dropping and dropping. And the later reviews are usually the honest ones. Okay. The early reviews, I don’t know why. Maybe they’re connected to the studio. I got no idea. All right. Maybe they got a friend of a friend. Whatever. Quality for Freaky or Friday, two stars.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, that review is for women. I’m going to say two stars. That’s coming from my wife.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
So I said, honey, I think it’s a two-star review for women. For its audience, what do you think? She said, yep, two stars. That’s what I was thinking, too. I said, okay. Political, too, just because, you know, the woke imagery.
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s all.
SPEAKER 05 :
No messaging. Just a little imagery. I actually kind of like some of the messaging on parenting. In fact, for more religious, just for that, I’m going to give it three and a half.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Just because it took this psychobabble, weak parenting and threw it out.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, good.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Nice.
SPEAKER 06 :
Gentle parenting went out the window.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, your kids are either walking away from you or running over you, and it’s not working. Just be a parent. Be the adult. Okay? Sorry. That’s your job.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s a good message, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. But this was just not a very good movie. Here’s what I predict. I predict that Freaky or Friday will do pretty well. I mean, look, there’s nothing else out. Okay, because you had two not very big movies last week. This is all on its own. There is absolutely nothing in this genre out this week or that has come out the previous several weeks except this movie. I think it’ll do okay for one week and then word of mouth will kill it. I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere. Do I recommend going to Freaky or Friday? No, I don’t. Especially if you’re a guy, don’t. If you are a female, I don’t know that teen girls, I don’t know how much they’re going to enjoy this, even though a lot of the writing is on their level. This seems more for women who are going to enjoy the nostalgia of revisiting the old one. So for that group, I would say, sure, go to this movie. You will enjoy Freakier Friday.

Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. All right, we are back.
SPEAKER 06 :
Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Impossible question yesterday. What is the mathematical name for a shape with 12 faces? And I’m sure I’m going to blow this pronunciation. Dodecadron? Am I saying that right, Charlie? Dodecadron? D-O-D-E-C-A-H-E-D-R-O-N. Dodecadron. I have no idea. 12-sided shape with a 12-letter name.
SPEAKER 05 :
It sounds like Dodecahedron.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, it could be right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I’d have to see it. I couldn’t. You read those off.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s in the notes.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, well, I don’t have them up. Sorry. Oh, sorry. Okay. I was doing reviews. That’s all right. What can I say?
SPEAKER 06 :
Anyways, that’s the answer.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Look it up. Okay, 12 faces. There you go.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Today’s impossible question. What language family does Finnish belong to? So what language family does Finnish belong to? I wouldn’t have no idea. Charlie, any ideas? Nope. No ideas. Any ideas, Andy?
SPEAKER 05 :
No. No idea.
SPEAKER 06 :
How many, I mean, Finland’s not huge, right? So how many people still speak Finnish is the question. Like how many people, though? What’s the population of Finland?
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, not big.
SPEAKER 06 :
Is it as big as Canada even, or is it smaller?
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, smaller. Smaller.
SPEAKER 06 :
Population of Finland. Hang on, let’s look.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Why not? I have no idea. Oh, it is really small. Five million is all. Colorado is bigger than that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Huh. Okay. I had no idea.
SPEAKER 05 :
Isn’t Finland right next to Norway?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, whatever you say.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. You know, Norway had Vikings. I wonder what Finland had.
SPEAKER 06 :
You know. Just a bunch of cowards. It’s next to Sweden.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, it’s next to Sweden.
SPEAKER 06 :
So it’s Norway, Sweden, Finland. Norway, Sweden, Finland. Norway is on the coast, and Sweden has the other side of the coast. And then Finland, you know, it’s got the whatever, the gulf or whatever that runs up in between Sweden and Finland. I’ve never been over that way. For me, whenever you’ve been someplace, it’s always easier to kind of know what things are like.
SPEAKER 05 :
Is that where Helsinki is, I believe?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, sure. Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
I have no idea.
SPEAKER 06 :
Helsinki. Helsinki, Finland? Well, I took a shot. Helsinki. What is that? Where is Helsinki?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I said I think it’s in Finland. That’s what I said, Finland.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it’s at the very bottom. There, I just found it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Hey-oh, I nailed it. Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
There’s lots of names there that I have no idea. And again, that’s another part of the world I’ve never been to. Have you ever been over in that area? No. I’ve never been like Iceland or… I’ve never been to Europe, John. Oh, you’ve never been to Europe?
SPEAKER 05 :
No, I have no interest in the continent we conquered.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, we kind of conquered our own and then sent them packing.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, but we just conquered them in a trade deal.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yeah, true. We did do that as well.
SPEAKER 05 :
They are now bending over to us at our feet.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, so anyways, that’s an area. To me, it always seems like it’s cold, and I have no desire to go to cold places.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, if I ever wanted to go someplace over there, I’ll be honest, the fjords.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, really?
SPEAKER 05 :
I would like to see those.
SPEAKER 06 :
See, I want to go more where it’s like the south of Spain or someplace like that where it’s warm. You like the warmer thing. Yeah, I don’t want to go up north. We have that here.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m from Wisconsin. Come on, man.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, but it’s already cold enough here. I don’t need to go other places where it’s cold. It’s like going to Russia. Like, yeah, no, no thanks. Like the one place I’ve never had a desire, which a lot of people say is cool, is like Moscow. Yeah, no desire to go there. So not Alaska?
SPEAKER 1 :
No.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ve been to Alaska in the summer.
SPEAKER 05 :
Doesn’t count.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s a lot nicer than it is in the winter. Yeah, because the winters in Alaska, yeah, no.
SPEAKER 05 :
Did you fly over the mountains there? I hear they’re just incredible.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, Alaska’s beautiful. It’s gorgeous. Great place. Yeah, it’s great. Yeah, I mean, other than the winters, yeah, you could live there.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s great. My hope, though, is pretty soon it’ll be all oil wells.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, it might be.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s my goal.
SPEAKER 06 :
I guess we’ll see.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Alaska, people don’t realize how big Alaska is. It’s like its own country. It’s huge.
SPEAKER 05 :
Isn’t it like half the continental U.S.?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it’s just ginormous. Nobody has any idea how big it is until you get there. It literally is just huge. It’s just vast and huge.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oil wells. I’m telling you, if we cover it all with oil wells, it would be so great.
SPEAKER 06 :

SPEAKER 06 :
All right, we got a minute or so left here of this hour. Andy, what do we got next hour? Is there any stipulations regarding next hour’s topic?
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, next hour’s topic is going to be actors and actresses with great genes. In other words, hunks and hotties.
SPEAKER 06 :
Hunks and hotties, and that’s in honor of Sidney Sweeney, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
In honor of Sidney Sweeney, we want to anger the liberals who say you are shaming them for whatever reason. I have no idea.
SPEAKER 06 :
Who are we shaming?
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. Anybody who says you can’t have a… You know, look, John, people are not born… equal in terms of looks.
SPEAKER 06 :
Come on, Andy. We’re all equal.
SPEAKER 05 :
I cannot look like a young Sean Connery. I can’t do it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, you just identified as one, Andy. Just identify as one.
SPEAKER 05 :
I cannot look like Denzel Washington. My wife has reminded me of this.
SPEAKER 06 :
You can just identify that way.
SPEAKER 05 :
I can identify this.
SPEAKER 06 :
Baby, I want you to call me Denzel. That’ll work. Sure. Well, other people want to be a woman or a man, so what’s the difference, Andy?
SPEAKER 05 :
