In this episode of ‘Rush to Reason,’ host John Rush tackles the complex world of political endorsements, focusing on the recent case of Hope Shepelman. With detailed commentary, John dissects how the Trump administration navigated a tricky political endorsement reversal, driven by findings of questionable behavior and false claims. Amidst these serious discussions, John takes a moment to honor the late Chuck Norris, a remarkable figure in acting and culture.
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 Payne.
SPEAKER 10 :
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 12 :
What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I’ve acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
SPEAKER 08 :
Gee, Ray, what do you want to do tonight?
SPEAKER 05 :
The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world. Stick a fork in me, Jerry. I’m done.
SPEAKER 03 :
Now, here is your host of Rush to Reason, John Rush. Okay, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Happy Friday, and a beautiful Friday it is, Andy.
SPEAKER 06 :
It is gorgeous, sir. Absolutely gorgeous.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, very, very nice day. Most of you have already been out and about, I’m guessing. What is it? We’re temperaturized. 84 degrees right now. Wow. 84 degrees.
SPEAKER 06 :
Isn’t that great?
SPEAKER 03 :
Super day. Super day. Super day also because Hope Shepelman is no longer going to be running in that particular race. Yes. And yes. Crazy Hope.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. And John, we on the show are going to have to take a bow. We led the charge in calling on Donald Trump to reverse his… his endorsement of her and calling on her to not be in this race. We led the charge. Look, all we did was tell the truth on two major things. Number one, this woman literally could not prove her own stalker exists. That’s not a minor thing. She spent four months or something like that claiming that a woman… who she, by all appearances, made up, claiming this person was threatening her and her family, they were in mortal danger, and that she called the cops, she filed a police report to have her place watched. She claimed that this person was then taken into custody in Florida and put into a mental health facility, and all that was asked of her was, can you please prove this person exists, okay? Can you prove, can the cops here or in Florida… or anyone in a mental health facility or any precinct, please simply say we contacted this person. She never did, and she ran from it the entire time. Number two, she, Hope Scheppelman, promoted a Democrat ad against a Republican candidate and cut the last five seconds off it. to lie to her fellow Republicans and not tell them this is a Democrat ad. And when I pressed her on it and said, hey, can you please, you know, how could you do this? She said, this, I didn’t cut those five seconds. Somebody else did. I’ve spoken to them. I said, great, can you tell us who? And she ran from that. And here’s what I think happened. It takes an awful lot for Donald Trump to reverse an endorsement. I mean, that’s an incredible thing, okay? He’s a very proud man. He’s a strong man. I think he made the endorsement out of rage against Jeff Heard. I think Jeff Heard deserves some of that rage, by the way. I think Heard made some big mistakes, okay? But the bottom line is simply this. Donald Trump, it took a lot and he saw a lot. And I think that his IT guys or whoever did their AI search, and realized, oh my gosh, we’ve got a complete lunatic here. She can’t prove her own stalker exists. She promoted a Democrat ad against a Republican. We’ve got a real problem here. This is the kind of stuff that a Democrat is going to bring up in a major campaign and kill her over.
SPEAKER 03 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 06 :
And then, you know, he comes out, Donald Trump comes out. He does the right spin. I’m all good with this. I love what he did today. He does the right spin and basically says, well, we can’t have this contentious… campaign going on in cd3 in other words we got to get her out of here okay and he doesn’t even say she is so valuable here is the position i’m going to put her in in the white house in my administration no no no no he says in some capacity to be named later or whatever in other words just get out of the race right we’ll figure out something for you to do
SPEAKER 03 :
You can trim bushes, mow lawns, do something.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, anything. But, I mean, for crying out loud, John.
SPEAKER 03 :
Wash windows.
SPEAKER 06 :
And he’s not just giving a job to her. He’s giving a job to her and her husband. He’s giving them both jobs, John. This is a major payoff. She was so bad. And he had learned so much from his team that he had to get her out of the race. And that’s how much they gave her to get her out of the race. That’s pretty major. What do you think?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and as a side note, it’s huge. And on a side note, folks, trust me when I say this, that position won’t last past November, what is it, 8th, Andy?
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t know. I don’t know because they may lock her in. She may say, no, I want to be locked in on a contract or I’m going to stay in. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know what deal they cut.
SPEAKER 03 :
All of those can be exited no matter what.
SPEAKER 06 :
Look, I do know the art of the deal.
SPEAKER 03 :
November 10th.
SPEAKER 06 :
Maybe, yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Is it 10th or 3rd? Hold on.
SPEAKER 06 :
It wouldn’t surprise me.
SPEAKER 03 :
3rd. Sorry, November 3rd is election day.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me. All I know is this, John. It’s the art of the deal, and Trump cut the deal that he had to cut to get this disaster out of the race in CD3 where he had made, quite frankly, and you know I love Donald Trump, but you and I both said this. He doesn’t know her from Adam.
SPEAKER 03 :
Mm-mm.
SPEAKER 06 :
He made that endorsement based on being mad at Jeff Hurd because Jeff Hurd had let him down and let us all down, okay, in some of his votes. And so Donald Trump made that. It was a rage endorsement. It was a mistake. And we called it out. We said it was a mistake. We said, please, Mr. President, reverse this endorsement. Today he did.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep. All right, before we go to break, Chuck Norris, I said this during Ready Radio, Chuck Norris passed away yesterday.
SPEAKER 06 :
Great man.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and I said this in Ready Radio, a guy that when it comes to acting and politics and all of that, fairly conservative guy, although that was not his mainstay. He did not talk a lot about those things. He knew his audience, and that’s all that mattered to him.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and also, John, he was just a very good person.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 06 :
Chuck Norris did nothing wrong. Chuck Norris was just a good person with everybody. And you’re right. He was politically to the right. He didn’t make it a big deal. He wasn’t an attack machine. Nothing like that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Nope. He wasn’t a rage machine. Didn’t do any of the wackadoodle things that all the leftist actors do.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Let’s just say it that way.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just a wonderful guy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep, really good guy. So our hearts and prayers go out to his family. Never fun to lose somebody. He was, I believe, let me make sure I get this right here, was he 84 years of age? I want to say 86, 86 years of age. Just celebrated his 86th birthday.
SPEAKER 06 :
Did they say why?
SPEAKER 03 :
He had a sudden passing. He went into the hospital with some sort of an emergency and then passed. So we don’t know. They’re not saying why. We don’t know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 03 :
So anyways, that’s it. We’ll take a quick break. We’ll come back. Movies, what are you doing today?
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. First, we’re going to do a kid’s show, The Pout Pout Fish. Then we’ve got our first blockbuster of the year, Project Hail Mary. And finally, a big sequel, Ready or Not, Here I Come.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right. Dr. Scott, coming up next. Again, live your best life with Dr. Scott today. 303-663-6990.
SPEAKER 02 :
What if you could get over 110 lab biomarkers tested, just like Dr. Mark Hyman advertises, but for a fraction of the cost, and with a doctor who actually explains the results? At Castle Rock Regenerative Health, Dr. Scott Faulkner has recreated this powerful biomarker test panel at a substantial savings. We have a special price for both men and women. Just $689. That’s a savings of over $2,500 over the standard price. And here’s the difference. With Hyman, you get numbers on a page. With Castle Rock Regenerative Health, you get Dr. Faulkner and his team walking you through every result, showing what’s off and creating a personalized plan to fix it. What’s even better, you don’t even have to be a concierge patient to get this pricing. This is open to everyone. Think about it. Most people’s deductible is higher than this special price. And your regular doctor, if he could get approved by your insurance, would never order this many tests, let alone know what to do with them.

SPEAKER 06 :
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 03 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right, John. Well, can Australia produce a good kids film? Well, let’s find out in the Pout Pout Fish.
SPEAKER 13 :
You can do this.
SPEAKER 02 :
Cheer up, mate.
SPEAKER 06 :
Give us a grin. It takes more muscles to frown, you know.
SPEAKER 04 :
Perfect. Hey!
SPEAKER 1 :
Hey!
SPEAKER 05 :
What are you doing? This is my home. Oh, come on. Can I have this? Could you not? This place is delicate.
SPEAKER 15 :
No, no, no, no! My arm. Here.
SPEAKER 14 :
Good. Well, not for the puffer fish.
SPEAKER 10 :
What are we gonna do? What about Shimmer?
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s your plan? Chase a made-up fish that grants magic wishes?
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s it! She fixes your ship, fixes my home.
SPEAKER 04 :
You destroyed a little girl’s home? You probably could have left that bit out.
SPEAKER 05 :
Bloomin’ cuttlefish! He was looking for Shimmer. If I can find Shimmer, I can save our home.
SPEAKER 08 :
You think they used enough pink?
SPEAKER 05 :
Pink is so thin. Stop trying to make thin happen. What if we never find Shimmer?
SPEAKER 08 :
Wait, I know those colors.
SPEAKER 10 :
Shimmer!
SPEAKER 15 :
Are you okay? I’m great. Isn’t water weird?
SPEAKER 08 :
We have to get to her first or she won’t have any wish power left.
SPEAKER 04 :
All I’ve ever been is a pout-pout fish until I met you.
SPEAKER 07 :
Was that a smile? No. I think it was.
SPEAKER 01 :
What even is water?
SPEAKER 06 :
All right, John, that is the Pout Pout Fish. What do you think?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s funny.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, okay, here we go. Nick Offerman. I like him. Do you like him?
SPEAKER 03 :
We’re the Millers.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, he’s a good guy. He stars as Mr. Fish, a blue fish who’s depressed. Get it? He’s got the blues. Well, Mr. Fish lives in an old wrecked ship, and he likes his privacy. Every friendly fish only reminds him how miserable he is because he’s got issues, and he gets sick of them. so naturally he meets pip played by nina oyama and she’s a little sea dragon who seems eternally happy well pip mistakes mr fish’s home for a junkyard and she’s seeking furnishings for her home this is important to her since her parents are about to have over 300 kids and pip worries she’ll be forgotten at any rate mr fish doesn’t want his stuff taken But if only to make her shut up, he tries to help and winds up helping destroy her home. This is terrible. Over 300 siblings, John, they’re coming and they’re not going to have any furnishings. All right. Well, Mr. Fish and Pip, they need a miracle. So they decide to search for the legendary Shimmer, a fish who can make dreams come true. Meanwhile, their little sections of the sea are threatened by an environmental catastrophe. Darn those humans. Actually, it’s not the humans. But Marin, the leader of the fish, tells everyone they must pack up and leave for new days. But Marin’s son, Benji, is determined to find a solution. Well, throughout all this, Mr. Fish must deal with his depression. And he has real depression, John. Here we see that too much positivity is only annoying. It’s basically just others trying to force you to not be you so they can be happier. Have you ever seen that? Somebody’s really depressed and everybody around them tells them, be happier, be happier. Here’s why to be happier. And what they’re really just saying is, you’re annoying me by not being happy. And you can kind of see that. I like that. But depression is crippling. There are dangers along the way, of course, including some hungry dolphins. But Mr. Fish and Pip must find Shimmer at all costs. Can they? And can Mr. Fish overcome his sadness? Maybe facing big challenges with others can help Mr. Fish. We’ll find out in The Pout Pout Fish. What do you think?
SPEAKER 03 :
Sounds good.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. All right, well, what works in The Pout Pout Fish? Well, Nick Offerman, first of all, is just very likable, and he’s a funny actor. I like him.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think he’s funny.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, he’s very funny.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s got that dry sense of humor.
SPEAKER 06 :
Very dry. And his depression feels both funny and real. And Nina Oyama, she brings fun energy and a nice delivery to Pip. She did a great job. Second, there’s solid cartoonistry with lots of different fish and sea dwellings. It’s always fun to see those things. Kids like those things. And finally, a really good message about how healing can come in helping others. Another good message also is about how scary it is to feel lost. Because it connects with kids. They’re all very frightened if they feel lost. Okay, what doesn’t work in the pow-pow fish? Well, first of all, it’s very much for young children. This is terribly predictable. You have bland characters, like you’d expect from a Saturday morning cartoon, really. Kids were roaming and distracted.
SPEAKER 07 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 06 :
Not good. OK, that’s the first thing you want. That’s the first thing I always look for in a kid’s movie. I’m not looking at the movie. I’m looking at the audience. And I had a bunch of they were very cute, just tons of little kids in the audience. They were roaming. They were distracted. They were not really tied in with the characters at all. They were not tied in with the story at all. It wasn’t dragging them along. That is not good since you’re only here to babysit them. Right. And another thing, the scary dolphins. See, at first the dolphins seem funny, then they seem very scary. I don’t know what that was like for a four- or five-year-old. That might have been pretty tough. Next, not as funny as a Nick Offerman film should be, not nearly. And funny characters just aren’t. So you have a group of funny characters, right, and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, as usual in these kids’ movies, and they list them out. Honestly, John, they’re not very funny. The timing was off on a lot of their jokes and gags. And honestly, the jokes and gags weren’t very well written. This just wasn’t a very funny kid movie at all. I didn’t hear any kids laughing. It wasn’t working for them. That’s not good. Okay, you got about 40 minutes of story wrapped in 90 minutes of film. Not good. So you have a plodding pace, even when there’s action. And I mean, when you’re right in the middle of the action, you’re good. But boy, oh boy, the second it drops off, there’s nothing. There’s nothing. At one point, a young fish must delay the other fish from making a bad decision. Okay. So they’re all about to make a bad decision. He’s got to delay them. And I groaned out loud. More delay? More slowdown? No! This thing is already way too slow. I was suffering. And there are far too many little life lessons spoken aloud for the kids to understand. How many times can characters tell each other how valuable they are? You’re so valuable. You’re really valuable. Here’s how valuable you are. John, that’s great once or twice. It’s not so great five or six. You don’t want to pound that into the ground. And it wasn’t working with the kids, at least from what I saw. Now, I’m not saying the kids hated this movie. They like anything with a bunch of big, bright characters in front of them. Kids don’t care. Right. Just put something in front of them with moving characters. But they weren’t engaged. This wasn’t like so many of the great cartoons where I’ve seen kids, you know, Kung Fu Panda glued to the screen. Right. How to Train Your Dragon glued to the screen. This was not like that. And you could tell you could really tell. OK. Rotten Tomatoes, for whatever reason, gave this 80 percent. I don’t know why. OK. OK. Oh, this is a toughie. For kids, I’m going to go two stars, I guess. Zero for me. Should we split the difference, make it one, or just do it for kids and make it two? What do you think?
SPEAKER 03 :
Just do it for kids.
SPEAKER 06 :
Do it for kids. Make it two stars. There you go.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s the only reason you’re going.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, that’s the only reason you’re going is for them. Well, I will say this, though. There are so many cartoons where they’re great for the parent and the kid, and that way they have a shared experience. There was none of that here. Got it. which surprises me with Nick Offerman, right? I love that guy. Anyway, Political 3, Moral, Religious 4. Now, they pounded away with it, but it had a very good moral. I liked it. Do I recommend going to the Pout Pout Fish? Well, folks, we’re in between kid movies right now. Here in a week, week and a half or whatever, we’ve got possibly the biggest movie of the year coming up, which is going to be a kid movie that’s probably going to sell $1.6 billion worldwide.
SPEAKER 03 :
Wow, what is that?
SPEAKER 06 :
Mario Brothers Galaxy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, gotcha.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s going to be huge, huge, huge. This is one of those little movies that you… And when they released it, it was on purpose. Two weeks after another kid movie… you know, a week or two before another, so they put it right in the pocket, and they’re trying to milk it for every dime they can. I’m going to tell you right now, it’s not worth many dimes, but if it’ll get you through to the next movie, take your kids to the pulp pulp fish.

SPEAKER 14 :
The best export we have is common sense. You’re listening to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 06 :
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 03 :
Better than the last?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Good.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Well, John, after The Martian and Interstellar, we get another one-man show in space with Project Hail Mary.
SPEAKER 10 :
The sun is dying. Dr. Grace, I need your help.
SPEAKER 04 :
I am a teacher at Grover Cleveland Middle.
SPEAKER 10 :
You have a doctorate in molecular biology.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m not an astronaut. I’ve never done a spacewalk. I can’t even moonwalk. I haven’t done the whole, the pool thing. No, no, no. This is just for social media. Object approaching. Oh my God. So, I met an alien. I’m Grace. I’m gonna call you Rocky. His son is dying too. If we’re gonna save our planet, we have to learn how to communicate.
SPEAKER 1 :
Why is a school teacher in space? Don’t like that voice?
SPEAKER 15 :
Nope. I am Rocky. That’s not bad. Amaze, amaze, amaze. Welcome to the Hail Mary.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you, Mary.
SPEAKER 15 :
You’re welcome, Dr. Grace.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you, Mary.
SPEAKER 15 :
You’re welcome, Rocky.
SPEAKER 04 :
Together, we’re pretty smart.
SPEAKER 10 :
The world is counting on you.
SPEAKER 04 :
Now or never. So I have a new roommate. Who is Grace talking to? There’s no way you can hear me right now. Can’t hear. Oh, my God.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m not heroic. You just need to find someone who’ll be brave for.
SPEAKER 06 :
You are bravest human I have ever met.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s a joke.
SPEAKER 06 :
I only meet one human, and it’s you. I get it. Take advantage of Geno’s… Okay, what do you think, John? Sounds good. Yeah. Well, Ryan Gosling, he stars as Ryland Grace, a guy who wakes up in a spaceship with no knowledge of who he is or how he got there.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Must have been some party last night, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Must have been.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, well, it all starts coming back to him. Turns out Ryland is a brilliant molecular biologist who also teaches middle school and once wrote a controversial article about water not being required for life to evolve. He’s simply saying it could be a different kind of life. All right. Well, now he’s been sent into space to study a star. Why? Well, all the other stars, including ours, John, are burning out due to a substance invading our galaxy. Now, let’s stop for a moment. So, in other words, this is not a movie that is saying that some environmental disaster caused by mankind is bringing about our downfall. I’m going to tell you right now, this is not a woke movie.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right. No agenda. Just bad times. All right. All right. So Ryland has been sent to figure out why this star is not being burned out because all the other stars are being burned out. And he finds out that this star is very unique and he has to figure out why. And so doing save Earth. Okay. Well, then Ryland sees a huge ship in the same sector. And turns out we’re not the only planet looking for answers about this star. There is another alien race needing answers. Well, this alien, he’s kind of like a rock spider, literally a big spider composed of rocks. So Ryland names him Rocky. Well, at first they’re at odds and can’t communicate, but Ryland, he needs help. So they learn to converse. And Rocky becomes quite the little chatterbox, actually. In fact, Ryland can’t shut him up. It’s pretty fun. Well, during this time, we also see multiple flashbacks to Ryland’s time on Earth and interactions with Eva, the leader of a multinational alliance funding Ryland’s journey. Well, times on Earth were, of course, desperate. The sun’s burning out, but we see Ryland teaching his class and working on Project Hail Mary. That’s what they’re calling it, obviously. Time is short. And in about 30 years, people are going to be starving to death. About a third of the world could starve in 30 years with the sun starting to burn itself out. Something is eating up the sun. Well, back in the present, Ryland and Rocky, they face big dangers and a real mystery about the star. Can they find the secret? What does this star have that protects it from whatever is eating the other stars? Okay. Well, can Earth be saved? We find out in Project Hail Mary. What do you think? Sounds good. Yeah. Well, what works in Project Hail Mary? Well, first of all, of course, you have some impressive visuals and settings. You have dazzling color and technology. Look, this is the first big blockbuster of the year. Now, it’s not going to be a blockbuster that does the kind of numbers of Mario, but it is going to be a blockbuster that the adults can enjoy. Make sense?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, next you have excellent performance from Ryan Gosling. I might even forgive him for the fall guy. I might. I might not. I haven’t decided. Gosling is becoming the star that Glenn Powell was supposed to be. You know that? He really is. For a while there, they were the two that were really coming on. And Glenn Paul, that super good-looking guy, he was looking like he was going to be the thing. He has made bomb after bomb after bomb since Twisters. Twisters was the last good one, and he has just been making bombs. Meanwhile, Gosling, who is just a very good-humored guy, is really connecting with audiences. I think he might be the next superstar.
SPEAKER 07 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 06 :
okay uh and i mean he’s already a star but i mean superstar all right rocky now this is very important rocky is a very good side character john in an age with very few good side characters hollywood has been struggling to write a side character this good okay and what he does is he makes it so that rocky can communicate with him and then it’s changed through a voice box and then you hear his voice and that’s when he becomes a chatterbox He’s funny. He’s fun. He’s interesting. His inability to understand human nature is just very funny at times. And so that works. There would be, I would say, about a half-hour period where he just lights out. It’s just wonderful watching these two interact. Okay, there are several good twists and turns, especially down the stretch. And there’s an interesting sequence of getting to know Rocky, as I said, because before you can have fun with Rocky, you’ve got to get to know Rocky. It’s very interesting how they do that. Finally… There are a couple scenes of self-sacrifice that are really engaging. That’s what works in Project Hail Mary. Now, what doesn’t work in Project Hail Mary? I’ve got to be honest, it’s too long. It really is. And I noticed that a lot of reviewers said this. And they were all about the same. They were all saying, man, you could have cut 20 minutes. I agree. You could have streamlined about 20 minutes at least. There were a couple flashback scenes that should have been seriously cut or removed altogether. Right. The getting to know Rocky stuff, while very interesting, was dragged out. They could have sped it up. They really could have. At times, there are various developments that are poorly explained, so we don’t know what’s really happening. It really got confusing during a couple key stretches. I don’t like feeling lost when important things are happening on the screen. Next. The action toward the end is strong. It really is. But you know what, John? It shows how much more action earlier would have helped. It would have. It takes far too long to get to the action. There’s a confusing aspect of the ending, by the way, that doesn’t explain how Ryland could survive long-term without food. I’m just going to say that. It’s cute, but a real plot hole. Finally, overall, this is a touching, engaging film, but too much of a slow burn. It’s just too slow. That is the problem with Project Hail Mary. Now, this is a hard movie for me to… Review. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 95%. I’m certainly not going to give it a bad review. I want to give it three and a half. I think that most audiences are more forgiving than I am just because they’re going to enjoy the interaction with Rocky. I think they’re going to be more forgiving with the pace. I’m going to give it a very reluctant four stars.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right? Very reluctant. Because for me, it’s definitely not four stars, but I’m going to go there. Political three doesn’t do anything, which I like. Moral religious, you know what? I’m going to give it a three and a half. Boost it up just a bit because some of the self-sacrifice in there, I really enjoy. I think it’s a good message.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s not a bad movie then.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, no, it’s a good movie. Do I recommend going to Project Hail Mary? The answer is yes, I do. Understand it’s going to be very slow at times. Like a lot of space movies are. Like a lot of space movies can be.
SPEAKER 03 :
They just are, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, absolutely. But understand that the payoff is also very good. I think this is a worthwhile movie to watch. It is a worthwhile blockbuster with a worthwhile superstar.

SPEAKER 06 :
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 third movie?
SPEAKER 03 :
Is this one scary?
SPEAKER 06 :
Um… Yes and no. It’s more of an action kind of thing.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
And, you know, I mean, in action movies, there’s a fair amount of blood, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, but it’s not like a horror movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yeah, in a way it is.
SPEAKER 03 :
Let’s get into it. Okay, all right, here we go.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, I’ll just say it. A good horror action film gets a sequel. Okay. And ready or not, here I come.
SPEAKER 11 :
The game will begin.
SPEAKER 01 :
They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming.
SPEAKER 11 :
In five, four, three, two… Do you have any questions?
SPEAKER 07 :
Can I have a cigarette?
SPEAKER 11 :
The heads of the council families will try to kill you and your sister. Whoever does wins the high seat and controls everything.
SPEAKER 02 :
Everything?
SPEAKER 11 :
The world.
SPEAKER 02 :
You’re telling me you didn’t know your fiancé was in a devil cult? If you don’t do exactly what I say, we are going to die.
SPEAKER 05 :
So it begins.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right, John. John, didn’t you know your fiance was in a devil cult?
SPEAKER 03 :
I did not know that.
SPEAKER 06 :
You didn’t know. You got a lot to talk about after the show. I’m just saying. All right. In the first Ready or Not, Samra Weaving. Do you know her?
SPEAKER 03 :
No.
SPEAKER 06 :
Wonderful young actress. She’s very funny. Obviously a real knockout. But she’s one of these knockouts who doesn’t just get by on her looks. She’s a funny actress. I like her. She stars as Grace, a woman who thought she was just marrying into the Ledomus family, but found out their family suffered from a great curse that had to hunt the new bride till dawn. They wind up in the first movie having to hunt the new bride until dawn. After lots of bloody kills, Grace was the only one who survived the first movie. But here’s something most horror films don’t talk about, John. If you’re the final girl in one of these movies, how do you explain all those bodies to the cops?
SPEAKER 03 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
You don’t.
SPEAKER 06 :
You don’t. So Grace wakes up cuffed to a hospital bed. Well, Grace’s sister, Faith, played by Catherine Newton, who’s a funny actress, she hears what happened and comes to see Grace. That’s hard since Faith resents Grace and hasn’t seen her in seven years. So you got these two sisters. They don’t like each other. They had a falling out. But now she has to come back and she sees her sister chained in a hospital bed. Well, horror of horrors, the two are kidnapped and brought to another wealthy mansion. Why? Because even though the Ledomus family is gone, there are six other families vying for power, which means another game of hide and seek and kill. And what power are they after, John? Well, they’re all basically part of a great coven. And whoever kills Grace will take over the high seat on the council and basically rule the world. Yay! What do you think?
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Keep going here. So grace and faith are on the run, and with all these wealthy families hunting them. But this time there are strict rules, and these rules are overseen by an evil lawyer. All lawyers except one.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are evil.
SPEAKER 06 :
Are evil. Okay. And he’s played by Elijah Wood. So that’s Frodo.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
So we got evil Frodo. It’s pretty cool. So not only can people die in horrible ways during combat, but they also explode if they break the rules. This was also in the first movie. So you had these evil people, if things go wrong for them, they literally explode and you get this fake looking blood everywhere. And part of the gag is just basically you’ve got this beautiful woman in a beautiful wedding dress who has blood all over her because some bad person explodes nearby. I know it sounds awful, folks, but it’s actually pretty funny. And yes, there are a lot of bloody ways to die, of course. Think John Wick. Well, the humor comes in inept evil people meeting horrible ends and being shocked when it happens. It’s like watching awful people in a company finally get what they deserve. The worst villains are a pair of twins named Ursula and Titus Danforth. And they’re played by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Hatosi. By the way, she was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the TV show. And she’s now a Republican.
SPEAKER 07 :
Just thought I’d say that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Anyway, they hope to regain their satanic inheritance. But this is a fight to the finish, with two sisters battling to stay alive. Can they? We find out in Ready or Not, Here I Come. What do you think?
SPEAKER 07 :
Sounds good.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. Well, what works in Ready or Not, Here I Come? Well, the chemistry between Grace and Faith is strong. As Samra Weaving and Catherine Newton, they hash out their differences and fight side by side. They are the highlight of the movie. And let me stop for just a second. I want to remind people that the first movie, Ready or Not, was a real sleeper hit a couple years ago, and I gave it a very strong review. All right? So this is not a movie where you’re wondering why on earth did they give it a sequel. I wasn’t surprised at all. The first movie was fun. Let’s see if the next one is. While the chemistry between the two girls is very good, Elijah Wood has come a long way since Frodo from Lord of the Rings. He’s devilish and vicious, and I liked him. I thought he was really good. The action, it’s intense with just enough pauses to catch our breath. I like that. You have some funny moments with really annoying villains. This is a sequel upgrade in terms of the villains, in my opinion. You have a fun fight between two characters after being maced. So each of the characters are maced. They can’t see. And they’re having to fight. It’s pretty funny. More than anything, this film just has a good pace and intense action. There are multiple plot twists and several moments looking completely hopeless. And you’re thinking, okay, this is done. There’s absolutely no hope. And I know they’re just setting me up, but this really looks like no hope. It’s good stuff. I like it. what doesn’t work in ready or not here i come well like most action sequels some real implausibility in a couple sequences real implausibility at one point a young villain he’s got these two machine gun style pistols do you know what those are right okay well they’re good uzis all right and he’s spraying bullets at close range all right at close range but he’s missing the sisters there’s no way He would have riddled them with bullets in real life. And you’re kind of watching this and saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t make it that unbelievable. You’re taking me out of the movie or you’re reminding me I’m just watching a movie. Don’t do that. Also, Grace, honestly, she takes too much damage to survive. She shouldn’t have survived. with what they do to her. There’s still too much of a rehash of the first film, so a little too much of that. And finally, you have too many setup talks between the sisters as they try to heal old wounds, all right? And so, you know how it goes. They hate each other for seven years, and they’re going through this… Terrible situation. And then they pause for a couple of minutes and talk about their past and try to hash it out.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, they do it like several times. It’s kind of like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. Move it along. Move it along. Move it along. Okay. Rotten Tomatoes gave Ready or Not Here I Come 75%. I agree. Quality, three and a half stars. Okay. Now, for me, honestly, it was a lot more fun than the previous Project Hail Mary for me. But I do believe that most audiences are definitely going to prefer Project Hail Mary because of the cute little rock creature. Quality for this, I’m giving it three and a half stars. Strong movie. Not great, though. It definitely has its holes. Political three, yay. More religious, I mean, what do you say? Yeah. Help me out on this, because it’s got Satanists and all this, right? However, they’re the bad guys. It doesn’t portray them in any way as the good guys.
SPEAKER 03 :
A three.
SPEAKER 06 :
They’re evil and bad and wrong, and you’re fighting them.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s a three, then. Okay, we’ll go three. I would think.
SPEAKER 06 :
We’ll go three, then.
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, it is what it is.
SPEAKER 06 :
And you’re seeing a lot of blood, people exploding, which…
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s the genre of the movie, though, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, that and I don’t like the people. So, you know, this is, I mean, it’s, I don’t know. It’s kind of funny to me. Do you remember Galaxy Quest? Did you see that? Remember when the creature explodes? Oh, yeah, yeah. And he exploded. Well, this is, it’s kind of that feeling.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, well, there you go. I’m going to, let’s go three stars then and just say within the genre, moral, religious is three stars. Do I recommend going to Ready or Not, Here I Come? Definitely, if you saw the first movie, absolutely. This is fun. But you’ve got to like that kind of movie. You’ve got to be okay with that kind of movie. If you are, you will enjoy it.

SPEAKER 03 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason. All right. Question of the day yesterday. We are back. What philosophical school was founded by Zeno of Sidium? Stoicism? It’s a school of thought that flourished in… Stoicism. Stoicism. Okay, it was flourished in the history of Greek and Roman antiquity.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, then.
SPEAKER 06 :
You ever heard somebody being called Stoic?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, there you go. So that’s what that comes from. All right, go ahead. All right, today’s question of the day. What surname does Neo use in The Matrix? I know this answer.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I’m not going to say it.
SPEAKER 03 :
I got this one easy. Yeah. What surname does Neo use in The Matrix? That’s an easy one.
SPEAKER 06 :
By the way, what a great movie.
SPEAKER 03 :
You think?
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, wow.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, really solid movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and that’s another movie that in its own way, I think it took special effects to a new level and did them in a whole different way they hadn’t been done before. It really did.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and while some of the series, how many is in the series? I don’t remember. Three. Is it three? I thought there was more than that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, they made a fourth one, but we don’t talk about that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Because that one was not good, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, gosh, no.
SPEAKER 03 :
The first three. Horrible. Those three were actually, they dovetailed into one another pretty well. I mean, there’s probably no doubt the first one’s still probably the best, but the other two aren’t bad.
SPEAKER 06 :
There was a very good anime one, but that’s not part of the actual series.
SPEAKER 03 :
Gotcha. Yeah. But three with one that we’re not counting.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right, right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Great series. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Great movie. The fourth one was terribly regrettable.
SPEAKER 03 :
There are people that legitimately think we live in a matrix today.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 03 :
You wackadoodles.
SPEAKER 06 :
I know. It’s like, folks, no, the world is real, okay?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Sorry. I read stuff sometimes on social media, Andy. Today I read a few things where I’m just like, God help us. You really don’t believe this stuff, do you? But they do.
SPEAKER 06 :
What are the scariest things, John?
SPEAKER 03 :
We live in a matrix that, you know, the whole world is, you know, upside down and and things are now starting to shake out. And, you know, President Trump’s going to do this, that and the other. And I mean, just just whack a doodle ish type things, Andy, where it’s just like you. You really can’t believe this, can you?
SPEAKER 06 :
The thing I don’t get, John, is back in the day, right? And we’re talking back in the day of Rush Limbaugh when he was the big voice on the right, right? There weren’t a lot of conspiracy theories on the right back then. You had a few. Gee, where are all those bodies that the Clintons left in Arkansas, that kind of thing, right? But very, very few. The conspiracy theories were almost all on the left. Nowadays, nope. We in the right have tons and tons of conspiracy theories.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
And it drives me nuts because I look at these people. I’m just like, you do realize that’s going to be disproven in a week. Why are you buying that?
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, stuff like is Donald Trump a time traveler? You’ve seen some of those things. Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now that I believe totally.
SPEAKER 03 :
There’s just I mean, I read through some of these things and it’s just like you really can’t believe this stuff, can you? You really can’t. But they do, Andy.
SPEAKER 06 :
They do.
SPEAKER 03 :
They do. They actually legitimately believe that we live in a matrix, and there’s time travel, and people are not necessarily reincarnated, but they pop up at different times for different reasons, and we’re in a big reboot right now. It’s just utter nonsense.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and there are also smaller things. As you know, we just had the Oscars, right? And Sinners did not win Best Picture. It did win some awards, and the lead of it, Michael B. Jordan, he won Best Actor.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s a fine actor. What’s that movie, Sinners, what’s it about?
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s a black movie, largely, about vampires back in the old South. I thought it was very inventive. I thought the second half was great. I thought the first half was slow overall. I thought it was very forward thinking and did a lot with the vampire genre, which quite honestly had become pretty threadbare.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m not a big vampire dude.
SPEAKER 06 :
I know you are, but they had some fun with it, and I thought that was good. Yeah, but there are people now coming out and saying it should have won far more awards, and the only reason it didn’t is because this is Trump’s America. And I’m thinking, okay, wait a minute. Best Picture went to, now I’m forgetting the name of the thing, but it was this massively anti-Trump, wildly left-wing Leo DiCaprio movie.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
One battle after another, something like that. I don’t know, it was so awful. It lost $100 million and it still won best picture, all because it hated Trump. And you’re saying because of Trump, sinners didn’t win enough. Do you see what I’m saying? So conspiracy theories. People will believe anything. You know why, John? It’s because everybody wants things to go their way, otherwise it’s all unfair. I mean, what about all the people who thought we would have won every election if it weren’t for Dominion? It’s like, you know, guys, really?
SPEAKER 03 :
They’re delusional.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Sorry, they’re delusional. They just are.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. Or, you know, I believe that Democrats cheat.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, absolutely.
SPEAKER 06 :
All the time.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I do believe that definitely has a real effect on the numbers. But there are people who believe that if the SAVE Act goes through, Colorado will overnight turn red.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, they won’t. No, it won’t.
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, you know, look around. Have you talked to any Coloradans ever? I mean, go meet one.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. No, that is a very incorrect statement.
SPEAKER 06 :
Luke, do you think it’ll turn red overnight? Not a shot.
SPEAKER 13 :
Not a shot.
SPEAKER 03 :
Not a chance. No.
SPEAKER 13 :
So long as major metro areas exist, I don’t think you’re going to get crazy changes like that, period.
SPEAKER 06 :
Exactly. Thank you, Luke. The numbers are real. Do I think that they skew a little worse because of fraud? Well, of course I believe that because you’re talking about an entire political party that doesn’t want IDs to vote. But we believe we take a little bit and then we believe in huge conspiracies. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, you guys are 100 percent correct. And no, no matter what happens with the SAVE Act. Which I support. Which I support fully. Sure. But even if it passes, and it’s likely that it will, even if it passes, are you going to see a big turnaround in Colorado, us shifting back red? First of all, we haven’t been red, I say this all the time, in a very, very long time. So the answer to that is no.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, 1% to 2% tops.
SPEAKER 03 :
Anybody that says that doesn’t understand them. You’re very inter-focused on your own little internal group that you meet with on a regular basis and do not know what the overall pulse of Colorado actually is.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right, and I don’t think they understand how difficult it is to do massive cheating. Fulton Colony was a very unreal kind of place. I don’t think we had anything like that here.
SPEAKER 03 :
Correct. You’re exactly right. Anyway, there you go. Nope, 100%. All right, we’ll be back. What are we doing next?
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, we’re doing movies about hunting, and it could be anything or anyone hunting anything or anyone.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hunting movies next. We’ll be right back. This is Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
