HR1 Rush To Reason December 27, 2024 by John Rush
SPEAKER 04 :
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. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So I got that going. And movie reviews with Andy Payne.
SPEAKER 12 :
I think that you got the wrong impression about me. I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do.
SPEAKER 10 :
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 16 :
What do you want to do tonight?
SPEAKER 04 :
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. Filling in is Andy Pate, party of choice. And I’m your host, Andy Pate, filling in for John Rush. I’m joined today by Luke Cash. Man. And Ashley. I am back, Carter. You are back, Carter.
SPEAKER 05 :
I am back, Carter. That’s going to be my thing now.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are you liking it?
SPEAKER 05 :
I am.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, that’s very cool. What did you guys do? Ashley, did you do anything great for Christmas?
SPEAKER 05 :
We hosted my in-laws at our house for breakfast and then went to my parents for dinner. So it was a long, very long day, but it was a lot of fun. That’s great.
SPEAKER 06 :
Luke? Yeah, had a good time. We go out to IHOP on Christmas Eve for our dinner and then Christmas dinner itself. We had some nice roast beef and Safeway was having a sale on lobster tails. So we got some of those. We did too. That was a good time.
SPEAKER 03 :
We picked up our lobster tails yesterday. Nice. They’re really good. I can’t wait to have all my lobs. We’re actually going to do it on New Year’s Eve. We’re going to have the crab and lobster tail and all that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER 06 :
Very nice.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes. I spent my Christmas doing what I do every day, getting dominated by my wife. Okay. And so, you know, it felt pretty good. Right. Pretty fun. Status quo maintained. Pretty much status quo.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re used to it by now.
SPEAKER 03 :
I am used to it. I really am. But I had a lot of fun. I think Christmas was a lot of fun. I don’t know about folks who had to get together with, shall we say, people who had very different political views. From what I hear, that was very traumatic for some over the holidays.
SPEAKER 06 :
My whole family just sets up a gladiatorial arena, and then we fight to the death, and whoever comes out on top is the political opinion that survives for the next four years.
SPEAKER 05 :
My family just kind of chose not to talk about it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you see, now this actually leads into what I want to talk about because fighting. Yeah. All right, because I, okay, over the holidays I get a little silly, and this morning I was feeling kind of kooky and I wrote something stupid. Are you ready to hear it? Feeling a little goofy? Yes. Here we go. I’m going to make an announcement. Go ahead, Charlie. A little lower. All right, here we go. Today I am officially offering to lead Donald Trump’s invasion of Greenland.
SPEAKER 08 :
What is this?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, war is a terrible thing, and we should avoid it whenever possible. But tensions have been rising between our empires, and we must strike first. It’s them or us. I’m prepared to bravely lead our jets and tanks as we battle those mysterious people of Greenland, the Oompa Loompas. Word is, the Oompa Loompas are a savvy bunch with their spears and talents in chocolate making. As yet, we don’t know their full combat capabilities, but they do strange dances that confuse the enemy. This will be dangerous, but I’m confident that with our laser-guided missiles and high-tech weaponry, we can drive the Oompa Loompas back into their little huts until they are Oompa Loompa doopity-done. Now, as conquerors go, we will be kind and benevolent. The Oompa Loompas will be allowed to sing their little songs as they build Teslas for Elon Musk. Or they can join the Doge Army, marching behind Elon and Vivek into the Capitol. I just want to see how Democrats respond to that imagery. I think that would be really cool. Naturally, Greenland will become our 53rd state, following Canada and, of course, Panama, where the canal will be filled with a river of chocolate. Of course. Finally, war is not for the faint of heart. Just know I’m putting my life on the line against these Oompa Loompas, as I will call for airstrikes from my home in Aurora, Colorado. We must make Greenland America again for the first time.
SPEAKER 08 :
Very brave.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you, and God bless Green America Land. What do you think?
SPEAKER 05 :
You know what? I’m all for it as long as you can give some of the Oompa Loompas to this chocolatier named Amari.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 05 :
People already see him as the real-life Willy Wonka, so all he needs is some of the Oompa Loompas to help him out.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, okay. Those will be the only ones we bring in and Trump doesn’t throw out.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, there we go.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. So we finally have found an immigrant that Trump will not throw out. I’m floored.
SPEAKER 06 :
Manifest Destiny didn’t end. Take it all. We deserve it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Actually, Trump’s going to be a lot nicer than me. I would throw an awful lot of immigrants out. Illegal ones, folks. Only illegal ones. But my goodness.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m throwing all the Irish out. Well, that’s where I’m starting.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s about time.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, we’ve had it too good for too long.
SPEAKER 1 :
Get us out of here.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s a joke. Get us out of there.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I don’t trust the Irish. I mean, who does? Neither do I. You know, that’s why I always make sure my gaze is directly on you. Oh. So I know what you’re doing. I know what you’re up to. But anyway, getting back to Greenland and Panama, what do you think of Trump? Really? I mean, it’s so funny. I think that he is basically punking these people. He’s trying to drive them nuts.
SPEAKER 05 :
He has to be.
SPEAKER 06 :
If he’s not, I don’t know what to do.
SPEAKER 03 :
We’re going to take back the Panama Canal. We’re going to take Greenland. And Canada. What would we do with Canada?
SPEAKER 06 :
Whatever we want.
SPEAKER 05 :
I think at this point he’s fully just messing with the exact same people that I’ve seen on the Internet going, he’s been president for two months now and he’s done nothing. He’s not president yet.
SPEAKER 03 :
I know. It feels like he’s president, though. He’s representing us on the world stage.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. I mean, would we rather have him be representing us right now or Joe?
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, yeah. Honestly, look, here’s what I think, and then we’ll go to break. I honestly think that he’s talking big, but I think it’s because he wants to put a little bit of scare into these people so he can get some concessions. Because honestly, I keep saying honestly, but it’s true. Panama has been a lot nicer to China than they have been to us, and we gave them the canal.
SPEAKER 08 :
True.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, and I think what he’s basically doing is what Donald Trump always does. It’s the art of the deal. You ask way over. OK, I’m going to take the universe. All right. And then you settle for this or that star. I think what he’s doing is I think he’s negotiating. I think he’s basically saying, look, not that he’s actually going to take Canada and Greenland. But I think he’s saying, look, we want better deals. We want better. We’re getting taken to the cleaners by some of these places. And I think with Canada, what he’s asking for is totally reasonable. All he’s saying is, look, if you don’t want a 25 percent import tax on everything you sell to us, secure your border. That’s all we’re asking. Secure your border. Is that really asking so much?
SPEAKER 05 :
No. He I think he’s doing that thing that we all thought about doing as kids when we got a bad grade in school where he’s going up to them and he’s like, so I crashed the car. I’m going to jail. I’m completely broke. I’ve done all this. I’ve done all that. And your parents are freaking out. And then you go, no, I’m kidding. I just failed math. And suddenly that doesn’t look so bad. Exactly.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think it’s very I don’t know. I think it’s good. What do you think, Luke? You seem a little skeptical. That’s the art of the deal.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m a little skeptical because a lot of the stuff I’ve been hearing doesn’t sound good for the American people.
SPEAKER 03 :
Like what?
SPEAKER 06 :
Like… Donald Trump really likes talking about tariffs as if it’s the other country paying for the tariff. That’s not how tariffs work. Right. Right. You know, if there’s a 25 percent, let’s say they put a tariff on Canada. Right. Right. That means the American companies getting those products are paying more, which means we’re going to feel more cost because they are going to have to offset that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right, they produce inflation.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right, they’re not going to build new factories in four years.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, but what would happen as a result of, let’s say, by the way, the 25% isn’t going to happen. They’re going to secure their border.
SPEAKER 06 :
But the point being is I see him talking a lot about these things as if they’re good, and it doesn’t, I don’t know, it’s like the real math doesn’t quite work for me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. Well, here’s the thing. Obviously, that would really hurt Canada, though, because people would there would be a huge drop in demand for their products as a result of the raising price. And I think that Donald Trump uses tariffs in a totally different way than Democrats have historically. Democrats use them as protectionism for labor unions. That’s really what they did. They would use tariffs and put them on all foreign goods to protect jobs here in America for labor unions and make sure that people could only buy things here at home. When you do that, all you do is have skyrocketing inflation, and also you have skyrocketing wages for the labor unions. Everything just rages out of control. We saw this with Jimmy Carter. It was a complete disaster. Trump doesn’t use it that way. He uses tariffs as leverage. That’s all that is. He uses tariffs as leverage in negotiations. So when he comes out with a number, don’t ever, ever think for even a millisecond that he intends to use that number, especially long term.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, that’s the top number. That’s the that’s the starting number. We’ll work our way down from that number.
SPEAKER 03 :
Exactly. Or maybe down to zero. Yeah. Now, I do think it is a good idea in general. Look, if you’re charging, say, 20 percent on products we’re giving to you, we should charge it on yours coming our way. I believe in level playing fields. I believe in fair trade. But then let’s say what he does is he goes to, let’s say a country is putting a 25% on everything we send to them. So if he goes and says, hey, I can just put a 25% on everything you send to us, or how about this? You lower yours, we keep ours low. See, I think what he’s going to do is wind up lowering the tariffs that a lot of other countries are charging us. And he is finally using the power, the leverage of the American consumer, which is, let’s face it, the most rabid consumer in the world.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it’s safe to say I’m still on the fence. I think it’s one thing to speculate about what he might do, and then another thing to take the things he says as what he says they are.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, that’s what he’s done in the past. I mean, he’s used it as leverage in the past. I just think he’s going to continue.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m interested to see how it all plays out. Yeah, this is how I’ll phrase it, because I don’t I don’t know how it’s going to go.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I’ll say this. If all you do is throw out tariffs everywhere, all over the place, it’s a disaster.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
OK, I don’t see him that way. This guy, it’s always negotiation. It’s always bargaining. It’s always leverage. It’s always this guy doesn’t think in terms of just protecting American workers. Because the moment you do that, all you’re going to do is skyrocket the prices on American consumers. It’s not going to work.
SPEAKER 06 :
At the end of four years, I’m going to see what I can afford now, see what I can afford in four years, and then I’ll – I’ll place my bets after it.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m going to base it off of the Home Alone rules because almost every year people recalculate what Kevin’s groceries in Home Alone cost. And it’s like, I think it was $19 in the 90s or whatever. This year it was $72 worth of stuff or something like that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, yeah, I mean, it’s not like Biden did us any favors. No. Okay, but that was printing money. That was different. Okay, tell you what, let’s take a break. But before we do, really quick here, Greenland, I don’t think we’re going to take over Greenland. No. I think we’re pretty cool not having Greenland.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t think there’s anything for us in Greenland.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, I don’t think there really is. Okay, up next is Hi-Fi Plumbing. Hey, is it too late for winter inspections? Are you kidding? Winter’s just starting in Colorado. Call 877-WE-HIGH-5 and tell them you heard about them at Rush to Reason.

Back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 03 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Luke Cash and Ashley Carter. Okay. Luke, buddy, I got a question for you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. What do we got?
SPEAKER 03 :
You look kind of stressed.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m just loosening up. Loosening up.
SPEAKER 03 :
Loosening up. Okay. Here’s the question. Here’s kind of personal. I’m going to get right to it. Here we go, Luke. Sure.
SPEAKER 16 :
Are you ready for a movie? All right. Yes. Yes. Yes. Andy, yes, I’m ready for a movie.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m always ready. Ashley just jumped out the window there. Okay, here we go. Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan was truly a musical genius, and he was. But we learned the price of genius in A Complete Unknown.
SPEAKER 07 :
If you go with snowflake storm When the river’s freezing summery If anyone is going to hold your attention on stage, you have to kind of be a freak. You can be beautiful or you can be ugly, but you can’t be plain.
SPEAKER 01 :
When’s the new album out?
SPEAKER 07 :
Soon. 200 people in that room and each one wants me to be somebody else. They should just let me be. Let you be what? Whatever it is they don’t want me to be.
SPEAKER 10 :
I hear Bob is playing electric. Not on our stage either.
SPEAKER 07 :
They just want me singing and blowing in the wind for the rest of my damn life. This is going to piss some people off.
SPEAKER 05 :
You came here with nothing but a guitar. You never talk about your family, your past.
SPEAKER 07 :
People make up their past, Sylvie. They remember what they want. They forget the rest. I want to know which side he’s on. I’m not sure they want to hear, but I want to play, Johnny.
SPEAKER 10 :
I want to hear it.
SPEAKER 1 :
How does it feel?
SPEAKER 07 :
Turn it down! Play it loud.
SPEAKER 04 :
Make some noise, B.D.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right. What do you think, Luke?
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m interested, mostly because I like Timothee Chalamet.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, he’s great. By the way, it’s Timothee Chalamet. Timothee Chalamet. Yeah, it is. Okay, well, it’s the early 1960s, and a young man named Bob Dylan arrives from Minnesota to play nightclubs in New York. Timothee Chalamet, again, stars as Dylan. Well, Dylan is not a beautiful vocalist. In fact, he almost just talks in tune. He really does. He talks on key. But this makes everything he sings sound very authentic, real, heartfelt. But there is a problem. Heart. Yes, Dylan has one, but like so many geniuses, his heart is so poured into his craft that people around him become expendable. Geniuses can be so focused on their craft, so far above those in the thought plane, that they can’t connect with those around them. Have you noticed that? Yes. Ever been around a genius? They can be that way. It’s mean. I know you guys are dealing with that with me right now. I can’t relate. No, I’m kidding. I’m talking about Charlie. Okay. Yes. Well, this creates incredible selfishness. Edward Norton, he plays Pete Seeger. And before I go any further, that’s my favorite actor. is Edward Norton. He’s good. Oh, my gosh. He’s incredible. Well, anyway, he plays Pete Seeger, a great folk star who embraces Dylan’s talent but watches Dylan do what other geniuses do, show initial interest for anyone advancing their goals, then tire of people and ignore their efforts. Now Dylan has two love interests. There’s Ellie Fanning. She plays Sylvia Russo, who learns what it’s like to love a man whose genius makes her expendable. He just uses her. He’s incapable of anything more. Then there’s Joan Baez, and she’s played by Monica Barbaro. And she’s a fellow singer and occasional lover. Baez was famous, actually, before Dylan. And she, too, was beneath his unrelenting genius. His genius was too much. And, of course, she, too, became expendable. Now, throughout it all, we see the latest biopic of a musical icon, complete with several classic songs performed by Chalamet, all pointing toward the seminal moment when Dylan has dared to go electric at an acoustic folk concert. Well, did he care about upsetting all the fans who support him as a star? No. That was the real problem. You could see this all along. A lot of stars really care about their fans, and you can see it. I’m going to give you an example. Tom Cruise loves the fans. He really actually cares about them. If they don’t have a great time, he feels he failed. Bob Dylan, the fans didn’t mean that much to him, and you could really tell he was just all about him and producing what was coming out of his head. And there you go. For every step along the path, Dylan’s genius makes him care nothing about all the expendable people around him. He doesn’t share a bond. He’s nothing more than his songs. As the real Bob Dylan is a complete unknown. And that’s the story of A Complete Unknown. Interesting?
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m interested.
SPEAKER 05 :
It sounds interesting, but this is like, what, the fifth biopic we’re getting in as many years?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, we’re getting a lot of biopics. They’re driving me nuts. I’m not a fan of those. Just so you know. What works in A Complete Unknown? Naturally, Chalamet is a terrific actor. He’s one of my faves. He’s a superstar. He’s choosing one of the possible paths to an Oscar doing a biopic. Right. I mean, these are Oscar catnip. I mean, there’s other paths include playing someone who is dying or who is abusive or who is abused or who is gay. Pretty much any of those things you’re doing so you can get an Oscar. And that, I think, is why he’s doing this. But he does a fine job because Chalamet throws himself into every role. Well, the other portrayals, the actors display actually more heart than he does. But I guess that makes sense. He’s just portraying a genius who cares about him. He cares about what’s in his mind. And it’s just, there are so few truly brilliant people. And it’s fascinating to see how they neglect the feelings of those around them. This was a real study in that, watching this movie, and I liked that. And the other actors, I thought, did an extremely good job showing how people react to that, what it’s like to be used. Well, the strength of the film is, of course, all the songs. Fans are going to love every second because there are a lot of his songs in this movie, and Chalamet does a great job. The look and feel of New York and the folk scene were authentic and interesting. That’s good. Kind of make it authentic. And Edward Norton is fantastic as Seeger. He’s showing a good man. And he’s showing this man give hope and then get used. You also have some segments with Woody Guthrie. And at this point, he had a very debilitating disease. And it was killing him. And it was very, very touching. And that was the closest segment. that Dylan came to being touched by anyone around him was watching Woody Guthrie and also Al Cooper, Alice Cooper. You’ve never heard of Alice Cooper?
SPEAKER 06 :
If I saw a photo, maybe.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, I didn’t know that Alice Cooper, who was a great rock star, was actually in Dylan’s band at the end, which really shocked me. Yes, so that was kind of interesting. Okay, what doesn’t work in A Complete Unknown? Well, first of all, too long for the story. You got about 90 minutes of actual story dragged out to 2.21.
SPEAKER 05 :
This feels like a common theme for movies nowadays.
SPEAKER 03 :
It is a common theme for too many movies. They’re poorly edited. That’s editing, okay? You got to cut out more and you got to know where. The first half of this movie was really dragging. I went with my wife. She was in agony. She was leaning over saying, please move, please. Finally, it started picking up, but it was a long road getting there. For those who don’t love watching depressing biopics, this is rough. I mean, you’re watching a soulless creature. It’s hard to bond. with a soulless creature. And I’m not saying he’s totally soulless, but really this guy was almost just a musical mind. I don’t know if you ever watched Amadeus. It was very much the same thing. Only he was a party nut, right? And it was an incredible performance, but he was musically and so gifted, so brilliant beyond everybody around him. He had no connection to anyone around him. Dylan was the same way. Okay, here’s a big problem. Not enough humor. And I want to thank the almighty God for Johnny Cash. He was in this movie, and Johnny Cash had some good funny moments, and boy were they needed. Thank you. Now, unfortunately, and here’s another downside to A Complete Unknown, the actor who played Johnny Cash neither looked nor sounded anything like Johnny Cash.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, great.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I mean, wow, not very close at all. And finally, this movie has not much of a climax. Who cares if Dylan shifted from folk to rock? He’s just a jerk. And really, ultimately, that’s the story of this incredibly brilliant man with a complete unknown. He was a jerk. And that is the story of a complete unknown. Rotten Tomatoes. They gave a complete unknown 78%. Now that Rotten Tomatoes always overshoots on biopics.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
But biopics are very, very hard to review because, you know, how is it for me? But I got to think about, okay, here’s how it is for me. But here’s how it is for those who love this story. character right they’re into you know queen so the movie about queen they’re all going to give the queen fans are going to give it five stars right right and so forth or um wicked all right the women who want to go see wicked are all going to give it five million stars okay undoubtedly i thought wicked was an average movie okay um this is it gets really hard so here we go Quality, I’m going to give it average, two and a half stars for most audiences. That’s what I’m trying to do. Great down the middle. Yeah, but if you’re into Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and all you care about is getting back to the old days and watching Bob Dylan, you’re not going to care. I remember when I did the review for Elvis, which was less of a good movie than this. Elvis was not a very good movie. But the Elvis fans loved it. John, who loves biopics, loved Elvis. And that’s just the way it is. I respect that. And I think if you’re really into this movie, you’re going to like it. For me, this movie was one and a half stars. I don’t review a movie for me. I review it for everybody. Sorry to take so long on this. But biopics are hard. I think for general audiences, this is a two and a half star movie. It’s not 78%. And honestly, folks, I’m going to warn you, it’s pretty boring. It really is. The second half is much better. You know, and that redeemed some of it, but it’s not worth it in my view. Political, obviously, I give it one star. This is a bunch of lefties, loony lefties from the 60s. And, you know, it’s just kind of funny watching them preach everything that, well, everything except stopping the Vietnam War they were wrong about. So it’s just kind of funny watching that. More religious, it was a three. One nice thing is that you would expect to see a lot of skin and a ton of doing drugs in this movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
No. Given the time frame, yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. You saw virtually none of either. How about that? I’m surprised. Yeah, it was R-rated just because of some language. They should have pulled the language down and put this at PG-13. They would have sold a lot more tickets.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. So there you go. A complete unknown. Do I recommend going to a complete unknown, folks? I have to say, this is totally up to you. If you are into Bob Dylan, then yes, you’re going to want to go see it. My gosh, the songs are great. He is. Bob Dylan was an unbelievable songwriter. There would be a lot of times when the best songs out there were not even being sung by him, but they were his songs. He was that good, okay? Outside of that, no, don’t go to a complete unknown. You’re going to be bored. That is my review. Okay, up next is Veteran Windows and Doors. Hey, they often beat national retailer prices by 30% to 50%.

Back to Rush to Reason, presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 03 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush, along with Luke Cashman and Ashley Carter. That’s right. Ashley, I got a question for you. Are you ready?
SPEAKER 05 :
I think I’m ready. I just finished scaling the building to get back in through the window.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you for coming back in. It’s very important. Okay, here we go.
SPEAKER 05 :
Are you ready for another movie? I am so ready for another movie.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, well, Ashley, you know, the ultimate vampire movie for vampire lovers has been made. It’s time for Nosferatu.
SPEAKER 14 :
This creature is a force more powerful than evil.
SPEAKER 04 :
Its desire is to consume all life on Earth.
SPEAKER 07 :
Only you can redeem us.
SPEAKER 08 :
He is coming.
SPEAKER 06 :
There is a devil in this world and I have met him.
SPEAKER 12 :
But he could never please me as he could.
SPEAKER 1 :
No!
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m ready.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, she’s ready for Nosferatu. What do you think?
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, it sounds interesting.
SPEAKER 03 :
This is really arty. So, Luke, this one’s for you.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m going to go with my turtleneck sweater. Your beanie. Elbow patches, a beret. Your beret. My wood pipe.
SPEAKER 03 :
I call them beanies.
SPEAKER 05 :
You just need to sit there the whole time, though, and go, the 1922 version was much better.
SPEAKER 06 :
Even more arty farty.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, here we go. We begin with a young woman who gives herself over to a demon-like presence. She is Ellen. She’s played by Lily Rose Depp. Yes, she is the daughter of Johnny Depp. And she later has a husband named Thomas. He’s played by Nicholas Holt, who is a terrific young actor. Well, Thomas Hutter is an aspiring real estate broker, that’s Thomas, who can get a great job with a good agency if he gets a mysterious old man to purchase an old home at a high price. That man is Count Orlok, played by Bill Skarsgård. And he requires Thomas to come to his home in little-known Transylvania to complete the sale. Needing the sale, Thomas agrees. By the way, never go on a business deal to Transylvania.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I’m getting that.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m just saying, okay. Unfortunately, Orlok is the supernatural terror who has possessed Thomas’ wife from afar. Well, Ellen knows Thomas is going to her master, and she even tries to stop him, but to no avail. Ellen is looked over by a family of friends. While Thomas is gone, she’s looked over by this family of friends. You’ve got a mom, dad, two daughters. But all along the way, she’s possessed. And, I mean, she’s doing the omen type thing. She’s very possessed. Mm-hmm. Everyone is at risk as Orlok is reaching through the village, killing and possessing as he goes. He’s Nosferatu. All right, so Nosferatu, Orlok, is a unique vampire in that we hear him loudly gulping from his victims. That’s kind of a thing that they…
SPEAKER 05 :
Delicious.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes. Well, he also does his gulping from each victim’s chest, not the neck. Thought that was interesting. The neck seems easier. It appears, I guess all the later vampire movies were lazy vampires.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, that’s probably it. Okay, it appears the only hope of stopping Nosferatu is a Professor Franz. He’s played by the great Willem Dafoe. But can Nosferatu be killed? Will Ellen help him kill everyone she holds dear? And that’s the story of Nosferatu. Ashley, what do you think?
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, it sounds interesting. And I know this is a remake. I just can’t help but think of it as, hey, Bram Stoker, can I copy your story? Yeah, just change it a little bit so it’s not obvious. Exactly. It’s Dracula off-Broadway, and it’s meant to be.
SPEAKER 06 :
That is exactly what Nosferatu is. They made the whole movie because they couldn’t get the rights to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. That’s the only reason Nosferatu exists.
SPEAKER 03 :
They couldn’t make it really different. I mean, they could have done Nosferatu on ice. I mean, that would have been kind of interesting. Anyway, okay, here we go. What works in Nosferatu? Okay, all the elements are there for a great vampire movie. You got everything you would need for a great vampire movie. You got this incredible look with fantastic imagery, a stunning mix of shadows and this glazed lighting that’s grainy from the old movies. So they bring in, it’s not as grainy as the first Nosferatu. I mean, that’s on bad film.
SPEAKER 08 :
One would hope.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, obviously, that’s from way back then. But they give you that feel of taking you back. You have tremendous acting, especially from Depp. Boy, she was terrific. Well, that’s kind of good to know. Lily Rose Depp was wonderful. Her seizures are this great blend of demon possession and unchained eroticism, right? Truly a great performance. She did an awesome job. I just wanted to stand up and applaud for her. Skarsgård, Holt, and Defoe, they’re all perfect. Holt is exaggerated in his character as a victim, but, you know, all right, whatever. These are great actors. And you also have some good sight scares, you know, the one where you are walking along and then suddenly you look behind you and boom, there’s a bad guy, or boom, there’s something evil. They do some of that, which is pretty cool. What doesn’t work in Nosferatu? Well, all the pieces, but without the enjoyable movie. Like I said, this had all the pieces in place. It just wasn’t very enjoyable. Each character was overly dramatic, hyperventilating before anything even happened to them. And many hyperdramatic scenes were drawn out in the extreme. Move it along. Move it along. My goodness. The first half was all art, no story progression. it was really something because they would just basically spend, let’s say you’ve got two minutes of story. They’d spend 10 minutes over dramatizing about this two minutes of actual plot line. That’s happening. I mean, I understand for horror movies, you do build up, build up, build up, build up. And that takes time. I get it. But if you overdo the time on the buildup, You get bored. You lose the punch. You do. I was bored. I was really bored. Frankly, I was bored out of my mind. With all the blood gulping and sexualizing and endless monologues, I realized I was watching 30 minutes of story drawn out to 2 hours and 15 minutes of art.
SPEAKER 05 :
We’re back to that theme. You know, before you leave the house, you’re supposed to take two accessories off. That’s a woman’s rule. Before they release a movie, they should cut out at least 20 minutes of film.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes. Randomly. It doesn’t even matter. It wouldn’t have mattered here.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just close your eyes and start snipping.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it was all the same, folks. It was really… And it wasn’t that long. I mean, there are movies that are over three hours, right? But this was about 2.11, I think, 2.12-ish. It just felt much longer because you didn’t have that much story. going on okay we get it he’s really bad you gotta stop him he’s possessing people and he gulps when he drinks from them okay we we got that tasty you do you care to add to that kind of something they really didn’t it was really tough uh this film wasn’t directed by rob robert eggers it was directed by the dmv sloths of zootopia That’s what I feel. Oh, no. Okay. Eggers, he’s actually a brilliant director. He really is. But he’s clearly determined to maintain the mystery. What is spiritual possession? What is animal feeding? What is a cult? What is fantasy? What are we looking at right now? And which one’s happening? In all that determination, the movie loses focus and drive. All right. It really loses drive. You got speeches, seizures, kills, rats everywhere. And who is Ellen serving anyway? Does the vampire plague is it does it make other vampires or does it just make sick people? Because, you know, usually in these movies, right, he bites somebody, turns them into a vampire and then they are a fellow vampire. And they’re spreading everywhere. Or maybe you just have one vampire. You really don’t know what’s going on here. It’s kind of hard to even read. And that was really, I was just going, huh? All right. Next, this is very porny. OK, a lot of skin, a lot of skin. I expected that, but there wasn’t much reason for it. It’s just icky artsy for the sake of being icky artsy. And it was just kind of like, OK, whatever. Keep moving along. Finally, this is an art film for Oscar zealots. That’s you, Luke. This was made for you. It’s not entertaining for normals. I am a normal. Luke is not.
SPEAKER 06 :
I am an art zealot.
SPEAKER 03 :
You are an art zealot. You like artsy for the sake of artsy. This movie was made for you. Okay. It very much was. Yeah. And I just, this is going to be hard for a lot of people. I don’t think most people would like this. But once again, we all have things that we’re into. I have movies that I love that you would hate. Okay. Rotten Tomatoes, obviously, this is Oscar bait also, loved this movie. 87%, okay?
SPEAKER 14 :
Nice.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, no. I’m going to give it, once again, dead average. Two and a half out of five stars for quality. This was, it had all the elements that were really impressive. The acting, the look, everything. It was just very impressive. But they just forgot to make a movie. And that’s kind of a thing to leave out.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s kind of the idea to make a movie is to make a movie.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes. And this thing, it just wrecked. You had way too little plot. That’s the thing that got me is they could have put a lot more plot line into this and they did not. Quality, I’m giving it two and a half stars. For me, it was a one. I’m giving it two and a half for general audiences. For me, I was so bored. I was almost in pain. Political three. It said nothing more religious. Obviously, it’s a zero. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this was do I recommend going to Nosferatu? Folks, once again, this is just like the first movie. It’s got to be your style. If it’s not your style, if you’re thinking, oh, man, I’m going to go to another cool place. Vampire movie like Underworld, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yeah. You’re not going to get Underworld.
SPEAKER 03 :
No. I mean, Underworld, which I enjoyed a lot. But that’s what? Mainstream vampire movie, right? Kind of action vampires. This is virtually no action. And very dark everywhere. And dreary. Perfect. Yes. Every detail.
SPEAKER 06 :
Perfect.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. I mean, if you want to be smoking your pipe up in the back row and wearing your turtleneck, this is for you. And by the way, for folks like that, I do believe it’s a four or five star movie. Because you’re enjoying the art of every moment of every scene. I think for most people, I’m not going to recommend Nosferatu. I just don’t think you’re going to be very entertained. fair enough yeah with how expensive movie tickets are i’d probably have to agree yeah kind of a rough go that’s nosferatu okay up next is somebody who is uh i definitely recommend you go to that’s geno’s auto service they’re better than nosferatu just saying uh they have the best napa warranty because they have the best mechanics don’t take chances with your car get it fixed at geno’s call 303-794-6700

Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 03 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush, along with Luke, Ash, me, and Ashley. Carter. That’s right. You don’t get to say man.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t get to say man. I don’t have an interesting last name like that. I mean, I love my last name, don’t get me wrong, but…
SPEAKER 03 :
Mine’s Pate. I mean, it doesn’t get more boring than Pate. True. I was cursed with it as a child, you know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it’s pretty bad.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, it’s actually German. It’s kind of weird. And everybody sees my name and they don’t understand because it’s P-E-T-H, like Peth. Huh. Yeah. And it’s pronounced like P-A-T-E, Pate.
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, I’ve never seen the spelling of your last name.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, P-E-T-H.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it written down.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I’ve hidden it from people for many years, and I’m very ashamed of it. For that specific reason.
SPEAKER 06 :
For that reason, right. That makes sense.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. Well, in hour number two, we’re going to be talking about, because of a complete unknown, Bob Dylan, we’re going to be doing male solo recording artists. And that’s a long title, male solo recording artists.
SPEAKER 06 :
These are singer-songwriters? Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, yeah, but just guys who, yeah, sing, who did solo artists. I don’t care if they wrote their stuff or not. It doesn’t matter. But like Elvis Presley, I don’t know that he wrote any of his stuff.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, I don’t think he did.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. You know, well, you’ll have somebody like Dylan, of course, who wrote all of his stuff. Right. And then you’ll have a real mix between. But the main reason I put it this way is I didn’t want to do bands this time. We’ve done bands before. We’ll do them again. But I didn’t want to do bands this time. Maybe next week we’ll do female artists. Maybe we’ll do that. I don’t know. But I thought that this would be harder than it is. There are actually a ton.
SPEAKER 06 :
Maybe for you. I don’t listen to a lot of music. I was struggling.
SPEAKER 03 :
I almost never listened to music, but I grew up in the 60s and 70s. And the 60s and 70s and into the 80s were really the heyday of male recording artists. They really were. Nowadays, most are female. Most of the best ones are female.
SPEAKER 06 :
I grew up in the early 2000s. It was all bands, groups. It’s five or six people all doing stuff.
SPEAKER 03 :
Boy bands. I know you’re really into those.
SPEAKER 05 :
Boy bands and girl groups.
SPEAKER 06 :
We need to get Tanner in here. Tanner is into boy bands. Is he really? He’s so into boy bands.
SPEAKER 03 :
That is so sad.
SPEAKER 06 :
Got a big Justin Bieber poster above his bed.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, who doesn’t? But, you know, I mean, come on. Justin Bieber could have been Nosferatu. I think he would have done a really cool job. Wouldn’t it have been great if Nosferatu came in this dark and dreary, and you could barely see it because of all the darkness, and he did a few dance steps leading up to the kill?
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m pretty sure that was in some of my friends’ nightmares when we were growing up.
SPEAKER 06 :
Cold open to a couple dance moves in the first note of Baby, and then smash cut to credits or smash cut to title screen.
SPEAKER 03 :
Look, I’m just saying this would have been a good idea. I think it would have added a little to Nosferatu and maybe Nosferatu on ice, as I was saying earlier.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know Justin Bieber auditioned for Fiero in Wicked, right? Oh, did he really?
SPEAKER 03 :
He did.
SPEAKER 05 :
Wow. He didn’t get a part, obviously.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you know why? He’s pretty old for it. I’m not kidding. He’s pretty old for that role. How old is he? Where’s Tanner when we need him?
SPEAKER 05 :
He’s four years older than I am, so he’s 30. Oh, I’m so close to 30.
SPEAKER 03 :
Do you know how many years older than you are Justin Bieber is?
SPEAKER 05 :
Listen, I was a huge Belieber as a kid, which means I knew the exact date and time he was born.
SPEAKER 06 :
When is it?
SPEAKER 05 :
Morning, night. I can’t remember anymore. It’s like March. He was. Charlie knew.
SPEAKER 03 :
Charlie knew. Okay, okay. I just got to ask. I just got to ask. When he was born, did everybody know where because of the star? You know, I’m just kind of curious. I know you’re into Justin Bieber. I’m just trying to get the whole story here. London, Ontario is where he was born, says Charlie. Wow.
SPEAKER 05 :
He’s a true blue Canadian.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are we going to send him back to Canada? They don’t want him. Oh, they don’t want him? They don’t want him.
SPEAKER 06 :
Justin Bieber’s a good guy now.
SPEAKER 03 :
I got nothing against Justin Bieber. He’s married.
SPEAKER 05 :
He’s got a kid. He’s living happy.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ve always thought he was kind of cool. Goes to church. Seems like a good guy. Oh, does he really? I didn’t even know that.
SPEAKER 05 :
He’s very religious.
SPEAKER 03 :
Good on him. That’s pretty cool. Okay, folks, that’s it for our number one and our number two. We’re going to be doing best male recording artists. I expect some people to call in 303-477-5600. Give us a call. We’d like to hear all your ideas. I have got a lot of clips. Until then, keep it right here on Rush to Reason, KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 07 :
Thank you.
