Friday means 5-Star Movie Reviews, and Andy Peth doesn’t pull any punches. Joined by co-hosts Luke and Ashley, Andy dives deep into two very different films—asking the question every moviegoer wants answered: Is this worth my time? Andy opens with Marty Supreme, a performance-driven drama anchored by Timothée Chalamet. While Andy praises Chalamet’s acting as elite—possibly among the year’s best—he calls the film exhausting, overly long, and emotionally draining. His verdict? 2.5 stars overall, with a strong performance buried inside a movie many viewers may find frustrating or boring. Is great acting enough if you don’t enjoy the story?
SPEAKER 27 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 05 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 26 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 27 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
SPEAKER 10 :
Get a job, sir. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 01 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 27 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 12 :
Filling in is Andy Pate, party of choice. And welcome to hour number two here on Rush to Reason. I’m Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Ashley Cart. Her. And Luke Cash. Man. That’s right. Okay, folks, we are doing your favorite comedies. And if you’re listening, by the way, I know a lot of people are out of town or in town visiting. And if you happen to be listening to us, have some fun. Give us a call, 303-477-5600, and just tell us. My favorite comedy is. That’s it. That’s all you’ve got to say. Or you can say more. We don’t mind. It’s kind of fun. Now, I’m going to lead off with a clip from one of my favorite comedies of all time, and that is The Naked Gun 2 1⁄2. Here we go.
SPEAKER 33 :
Oh, Frank, we’re no good together. All you ever lived for was your police work.
SPEAKER 24 :
And you were always busy trying to save the end zone layer.
SPEAKER 33 :
Ozone layer. Frank, you never tried to understand.
SPEAKER 24 :
How can you say that? When I sank every penny I had into buying that 1,000 acres of Brazilian rainforest, then I had it slashed and burned so we could build our dream house.
SPEAKER 33 :
Frank, how could you be so insensitive?
SPEAKER 24 :
Insensitive? You think it’s easy displacing an entire tribe? You try it sometime.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s so good. That’s so wrong. I mean, Leslie Nielsen, the thing that was magnificent about the Naked Gun movies, besides the writing, of course, was his delivery. It was so deadpan. It was so good. It was like this confused version of deadpan. And it just made me laugh so hard. Luke, what do you think?
SPEAKER 19 :
I love it. It’s been a while. I’ve got to watch it again. Oh, it’s funny. Okay, Luke, you’re up. Oh, it’s my turn. Well, I said it at the end of the last hour, so we’ll say it at the beginning of this one. Super Troopers.
SPEAKER 12 :
Super Troopers. That’s such a funny movie. That’s got both side gags, but it’s got a lot of funny dialogue.
SPEAKER 19 :
We watched it forever ago with my family. I think me and my brothers and my father, we still quote that movie endlessly to this day. It’s like a staple in our vernacular now.
SPEAKER 12 :
It is not for the kids. No. No, it is not. Okay. All right. Ashley, you’re up. Can you follow two such great examples? Are you up to the task?
SPEAKER 28 :
I think I am because it’s another Leslie Nielsen movie with Airplane.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, Airplane.
SPEAKER 28 :
I saw it on TV for the first time like two years ago and I was laughing like crazy the whole time.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, yeah. Surely you don’t think that. Yes, I do. And don’t call me Shirley.
SPEAKER 19 :
Airplane is one of those movies. I mean, a lot of the Leslie Nielsen, like The Naked Gun and stuff like that. I consider those like smart comedies, like quippy wordplay, really fast, dry deliveries. It scratches an itch that not a lot of other comedies can.
SPEAKER 28 :
It really does.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, yeah, I totally agree. Okay, I think this one’s queued up right. My computer’s having some problems. This is another one that John likes, Talladega Nights. Here we go, and they’re doing their advertisements.
SPEAKER 23 :
Fire Safety Week is right around the corner, and here are a few important tips you might want to listen to.
SPEAKER 22 :
Wrapping your kids a newspaper at bedtime sounds like a good idea. Keeps them warm. But guess what? That stuff’s flammable. Hey, we’ve all run around with an empty milk jug full of gasoline and lit it in an open field. But make sure there’s a parent close by. What’s better than a nap? A nap with a cigarette. I know. I’d do it. If you’re going to sleep in bed, make it a hammock. So if it lights on fire, you fall down and wake up.
SPEAKER 23 :
We’ve all wondered what gasoline tastes like.
SPEAKER 22 :
Don’t drink it. Fire safety begins in your brain at home. Shoplifting’s fun. We’ve all done it. But if you’re going to steal fireworks, forget it. When them Chinese folks wrote on that label, light fuse and run away, they meant it. Get the heck out of there. Remember, stealing’s not good, but if you’re going to do it, don’t steal fireworks.
SPEAKER 23 :
It’s the law.
SPEAKER 12 :
So good. Will Ferrell is so funny, isn’t he? I mean, he’s getting now to where he’s just not picking good scripts anymore. But I’ll tell you what, he had a stretch there where I think for close to a decade, he was the surest thing in Hollywood. If you wanted to make sure you were going to get some good laughs, even if the movie wasn’t that good. You were going to get them from Will Ferrell. Ashley, what do you think?
SPEAKER 28 :
I would have to agree.
SPEAKER 11 :
What do you think, Luke?
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, Will Ferrell was good. Okay, Luke, you’re up. Oh, let’s go. A little superhero in this genre with Deadpool.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yes. Deadpool. He’s so funny.
SPEAKER 19 :
I still think one of my favorite facts about that movie is that it almost didn’t get made until test footage leaked online. And then so many people were so ecstatic about the test footage that that hype is what funded the movie into actually being made. It almost didn’t happen.
SPEAKER 28 :
So I was in the era of Comic-Con trying to go to Comic-Con when that footage leaked. So I was a part of the ones that was freaking out online about it.
SPEAKER 19 :
It was a big deal. And it worked out. Dude, Deadpool was a funny movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, yeah. Well, all the Deadpools are. I happen to be a big Ryan Reynolds fan. He kills me.
SPEAKER 28 :
I think he’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, he is. He is. And I’m going to jump in. I’m going to jump out of line for just a moment because I’ve got to throw in a Ryan Reynolds movie.
SPEAKER 28 :
I’m offended and insulted, but I’ll allow it.
SPEAKER 12 :
No, but I have to do it to honor him.
SPEAKER 28 :
Fair enough.
SPEAKER 12 :
And to honor Samuel Jackson. Oh, okay. Now you got me. Hitman’s bodyguard. Have you guys seen this? I’ve never seen it. I’ve seen clips from it. Oh, Luke, you will like it. It is stupid, stupid funny, but it’s very funny. And in this one, Ryan Reynolds is pretty much the straight guy to Samuel Jackson, who’s the funnier one. And oh my gosh, because Ryan Reynolds can play very, very, very miserable. So there you go. Ashley, you’re up.
SPEAKER 28 :
I was going to say Blue Mountain State, The Rise of Thadland. I never saw it. Is it really funny? It’s funny. It’s a sports one. It’s funny. It’s all football. But I like it because it has probably my favorite description of hockey ever. Because this football captain is insulted that hockey players are in his home. And it’s like they play their sport on the world’s hardest surface with knives strapped to the bottom of their feet. And they have three captains. Can you imagine three of me? Yeah. That’s great.
SPEAKER 12 :
I like that.
SPEAKER 19 :
A fat tassel will always have my respect.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s awesome. Okay, well done, well done. Okay, let me throw in a clip here. And this is a classic, but you’ve got to do it because it’s just funny. Anchorman, here we are.
SPEAKER 21 :
It’s called Sex Panther by Odeon. It’s illegal in nine countries. Yep, it’s made with bits of real panther.
SPEAKER 20 :
So you know it’s good. It’s quite pungent. Oh, yeah. Ooh, it’s a formidable scent. Stings the nostrils. In a good way. Yeah. Brian, I’m gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline. They’ve done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
SPEAKER 21 :
That doesn’t make sense. Well… Let’s go see if we can make this little kitty purr.
SPEAKER 12 :
Some of the biggest idiots I’ve ever seen are in that movie. And it was just funny. I thought the funniest character was probably Steve Carell. I mean, do you like Anchorman?
SPEAKER 19 :
I loved Anchorman. I also still quote that, you know, 60% of the time it works. It works every time. It’s perfect. It’s such a good line. Luke, you’re up, sir. Oh, these are hard to beat. So we’ll step it up one with Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, man. It’s just a flesh wound. That is so funny.
SPEAKER 28 :
I am so unpopular in the fact that I cannot stand Monty Python. Oh.
SPEAKER 12 :
Really?
SPEAKER 28 :
Really. I watched The Holy Grail on my flight to Ireland, and I felt like my brain was melting.
SPEAKER 19 :
I love that movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Can we ostracize you for this? You can, yes. Okay, okay. You’re no longer in the herd. All right, that’s fine. I accept it.
SPEAKER 19 :
Everyone’s entitled to their wrong opinions.
SPEAKER 12 :
Only until the next break, then you’re back in. But for now, for now, you’re out. Okay, I mean, Monty Python’s hysterical. The Holy Grail. And some of the other ones drag more than the Holy Grail. I mean, Life of Brian has some hysterical moments, but boy, oh boy, do you wait for them.
SPEAKER 28 :
Okay, Ashley, you’re up. All right. I was going to say Zombieland. Oh, gosh, that’s funny. It’s a good, funny movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
It is. It is. And everybody in it is so good. Yeah, I can’t argue with that one. Okay, we got to do a little bit of Ted. You know, a little teddy bear. Here we go.
SPEAKER 07 :
Sharon is conscientiously objecting to this costume party tonight, so I need a designated driver. Can you do it?
SPEAKER 10 :
Me? No, not tonight. Yeah, me and Ted got massive plans.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I can’t drive myself. I’ll be full of jello shots.
SPEAKER 10 :
So you have a few drinks. Big deal. You know what nobody ever talks about with drunk driving? How fun it is.
SPEAKER 08 :
John doesn’t have his license yet, and you… It’s like a video game. You owe me. For what? I took the heat when Aunt Suze found the porno you guys rented.
SPEAKER 10 :
What do I care? She’s not my mom. My mom’s an 11-year-old kid in China with arthritis. How do you know that? Because she sewed a note in my leg that says she’s never had a vegetable.
SPEAKER 07 :
Come on, Ted. Please, you gotta drive me.
SPEAKER 26 :
It’s not a good night, Blair. We got plans.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Now, I’m gonna go shower and fluff myself so I can be in a confident headspace to shame trick-or-treaters. The cuter I look, the worse they feel.
SPEAKER 12 :
I’m sorry. Ted was so wrong. That’s one of the, you know, and by the way, pulling a clean clip from Ted. nightmare just for that i need to get a medal okay that is not easy to do no i’m pulling a clean joke from anything seth mcfarlane is in is impossible yeah it’s really tough it’s really tough but ted was very funny uh i’m not sure if there’s any movie that makes john rush laugh more was uh was it ted one or two with uh liam neeson buying tricks from the grocery store so the first or the second one Oh, gosh, I think it was two.
SPEAKER 19 :
I don’t remember. That’s also an incredible scene.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, but two was not nearly as good as one.
SPEAKER 19 :
No, it had that moment, though.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 19 :
All right, let’s go with one of my favorite horror comedy slash satire movies, Cabin in the Woods.
SPEAKER 28 :
Oh, yes. That’s a good one.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s a good one. That’s a good one. That’s funny. I just love these horrors. The horror comedies, to me, are just wonderful.
SPEAKER 19 :
I think Cabin in the Woods did it probably one of the best, where they were so aware of the genre they were in, kind of like poking fun and prodding at all of the classic horror tropes. It’s so good.
SPEAKER 12 :
It was a little bit like Scary Movie in that way.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, it took itself a bit more seriously, but same thing, like total satire of the genre. Beautiful.
SPEAKER 28 :
That’s the one with the bong that turns into the coffee mug, right?
SPEAKER 19 :
remember that.
SPEAKER 28 :
It could be. It’s been so long.
SPEAKER 19 :
Maybe.
SPEAKER 28 :
Because it’s the stoner character or whatever? I don’t know. Yes, yes.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yes, you’re correct.
SPEAKER 28 :
Okay, there you go. Apparently that prop cost like $5,000. Not really. Wow. Okay. Alright, Ashley, you’re up. Go. Alright, I’m gonna go with a satire movie that I grew up watching and laughing at because I hated the Twilight movies, and that’s Vampires Suck.
SPEAKER 19 :
I thought I was gonna be the only person with that on my list.
SPEAKER 28 :
Vampires Suck is amazing.
SPEAKER 12 :
I only saw part of it, but I did like it. It was funny.
SPEAKER 28 :
That one is probably one of the better parody movies because they had one, The Hungry Games, and that one just didn’t hit as good for me. But Vampires Suck, that one’s funny.
SPEAKER 12 :
There’s a parody, another one that I like. It’s a British one, What We Do in the Shadows. Have you ever seen that?
SPEAKER 28 :
I have, yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s a parody of vampires, and they have a sight gag where one of them is flying as a bat and hits a power line, which just about had my wife falling out of her seat. She was laughing so hard. Have you ever seen this, the movie? I have. I saw it in a drive-in theater.
SPEAKER 19 :
It was great. What? I said I watched it in a drive-in theater. It was great.
SPEAKER 12 :
What we do in the shadows, it is about as stupid as they get. I’ll just use that as mine. There you go. Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, boy. Let’s go with… I saw this one kind of recently. Maybe not like a strict comedy, but I was laughing a lot in Cocaine Bear.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, gosh. That is so intense.
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s so stupid. It’s so funny. I think the funniest thing about it is that it’s based off of a real bear.
SPEAKER 12 :
It is. There was really a bear that ate a bunch of cocaine.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 12 :
And got enraged.
SPEAKER 19 :
For like 24 hours was the scariest apex predator in 50 miles.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
And then immediately died of overdose. It was so funny. So funny. Okay.
SPEAKER 28 :
Terrifying. Ashley, you’re up. I’m going to go back to my smart humor and go with Clue. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
Clue was funny. Clue was great. Yeah. The thing I like about Clue is just it’s more of a dialogue movie. You know, not as many sight gags, just funny, funny, funny. The way they’re talking, a lot of stars.
SPEAKER 28 :
Well, I mean, your last three scenes where Tim Curry’s explaining who killed whom, who’s the murderer and all that stuff is just, it’s great. His physical comedy and his acting is, it brings it all together.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, by the way, Tim Curry was just a super talent. He was also a spectacular singer. Yeah, but very, very, very funny guy. I mean, everybody thinks, what, Rocky Horror Picture Show, stuff like that. But he has done so many good comedies. Just a very funny actor. Okay, tell you what. Let’s take a break.

SPEAKER 12 :
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, now, guys, we’re doing our favorite comedies, and here’s one that is very, very funny. Now, I’ve got to set it up a little bit because there’s a visual piece for the people at home. The movie is We’re the Millers. And they are a fictitious family because they’re actually not a family. They hire, the dad supposedly hires the other people in the family because they need a family to traffic drugs across the border. And one of them is the pretty teenage daughter. And she brings home a guy who’s a real loser. And anyway, the guy has a tattoo on his chest. It says, no regrets. The problem is it’s spelled no R-A-G-R-E-T-S. So it’s misspelled. R-A-G-R-E-T-S. And the dad’s going to talk to him about it. Here we go.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s my credo. No regrets. How about that? You have no regrets?
SPEAKER 33 :
Dad.
SPEAKER 18 :
Nope. Not one? Nope.
SPEAKER 17 :
I wish I did to talk about something.
SPEAKER 16 :
Not one regret, huh?
SPEAKER 17 :
That’s how I’ve been living my whole life. I went to a tattoo artist. I was like, this is how I live. Can you put that on my body? And he did. Dad.
SPEAKER 16 :
Like not even a single letter?
SPEAKER 17 :
Nah, I can’t think of one. I love all the letters. You know what I’m saying?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. There’s a lot of letters in the alphabet. How many are there now? It’s in the 20s. It’s definitely in the 20s. I agree.
SPEAKER 17 :
Dad.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, I love him. I think he’s great. I think he’s a real winner, Casey. If I were you, I wouldn’t use protection. Have fun. Scotty P, you’re the man. Yeah, for real. What’s the P stand for? Bye. Nice meeting you, man. You too. You do you, Scotty P.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m sorry. It is so wrong.
SPEAKER 28 :
I’m going to go home and rewatch that movie now.
SPEAKER 14 :
Don’t use protection.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s too good.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, that was so funny. Okay, Luke, you’re up, sir.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, boy. Coming off the back of that one is going to be a little difficult, too.
SPEAKER 12 :
It is. It is. I made it hard on you.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, let’s crank it up to 11 instead with this final tap.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes! Yes! We’ve got to honor the late Rob Reiner, because that is one of his absolute classics, and it was just incredible.
SPEAKER 19 :
Got to turn it up to 11. You have to.
SPEAKER 12 :
I’ve played that clip a few times. Mine goes to 11. Yeah, John and Richard have never seen it. Really? It is so funny. That was actually, was that his first one? Because I don’t know that I believe and I could be wrong here, but I thought Spinal Tap actually came out before Stand By Me. And it was just and folks, for those who don’t know, it’s a rockumentary. It’s about this fictitious British rock band that is totally in decline. They’re falling apart. And the guy, the lead guitarist, he has a an amp that goes to 11. Oh, wow. Yeah, and he’s explaining how, you know, most amps, they only go to 10, and when you need that extra little something, they got nothing. Mine, it goes to 11. And Rob Reiner plays the interviewer, and he says, okay, but couldn’t you just recalibrate this so that, you know, 10 is the equivalent of 11? And he just looks at him blankly for like five, six seconds. Well, this one goes to 11. Because he’s an idiot.
SPEAKER 28 :
So there you go. That’s pretty great. Okay, Ashley, you’re up. One of my favorite Adam Sandler movies, That’s My Boy. Oh, I have not seen it. It’s Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. It’s not appropriate in the slightest.
SPEAKER 12 :
No, Sandler’s a funny guy, too.
SPEAKER 28 :
That would be another one where it’s like if you tried to look for a clean clip of it, wouldn’t happen. But it is so hilarious. It has a cameo in it from Vanilla Ice, and it is just overall a very funny movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay. Well, that sounds great. Okay. We are going to take a look at, we got to go to the classic. Okay. I’m old. I do the classics. Here we go. Austin Powers. And here’s Dr. Evil going on the Jerry Springer show with Scott, his son.
SPEAKER 09 :
Hello, Scott. Daddy’s back. How could you do this to me on national television? Well, throw me a fricking bone here, Scott. Why’d you run out on me? Because you’re not quite evil enough. But it’s true. You’re quasi-evil. You’re semi-evil. You’re the margarine of evil. You’re the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough.
SPEAKER 26 :
What are you, some kind of freak? Shut up! Okay, okay, come on. I’ll kick your ass.
SPEAKER 11 :
I just thought that was very funny. So, what do you think?
SPEAKER 28 :
I’ve never seen an Austin Powers movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh my gosh! And you call yourself an American when you haven’t seen that British comedy?
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean… I’ve also never seen an Austin Powers movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
You’ve never seen Austin Powers? Oh, gosh, gosh, gosh. I’m with you, Ash. I’ve never seen it. Guys, the first Austin Powers. Really, the first two. are hilarious. And Mike Myers was in his prime and he would play multiple characters. He was, in my opinion, and I’m not kidding, he should have gotten best actor. OK, you know how they never give it to a comedian. They never give it to a comedic role. And yet Eddie Murphy, what he did in Coming to America, playing like five different characters and playing them all brilliantly. I thought what what Mike Myers did in Austin Powers was brilliant and just hysterical. Absolutely funny. Total stupid humor. OK, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, let’s get a bit more modern. You went old. We got to go new. Lego Batman. Yeah. I did not expect it to be as funny as it was. I’ll be honest.
SPEAKER 12 :
I enjoyed Lego Batman.
SPEAKER 28 :
It was a riot. Computer, find me a route to the Phantom Zone. No highways.
SPEAKER 12 :
I thought Lego Batman was a lot of fun.
SPEAKER 19 :
Children can be cruel, can’t they?
SPEAKER 12 :
I thought the funniest character was Robin.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. I thought they were all great. I also like how, again, for a Lego Batman movie, it did such a good job of breaking down the characters of the traditional Batman characters. It was kind of smart in its own way for subverting all the classic comic tropes.
SPEAKER 12 :
I thought it was realistic, but I guess you and I don’t see eye to eye. It was very funny.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah, very funny. Okay. Ashley, you’re up. Go. All right. I don’t know if either of you have seen this one, but it’s called Chicken Run. Oh, yeah. Okay, good.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, it’s a British cartoon.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
And Chicken Run is very funny, actually. It is hilarious. It is hilarious. Okay, we got to go to another classic going way back in time, back when Jim Carrey was just getting started. And he was on the TV show In Living Color, and that’s where he became very famous. But he needed a first big leading role comedy, and here it was in Pet Detective. Here we go.
SPEAKER 25 :
Captain’s log, start 8, 23.9, round it off to the 8. nearest decimal point. We’ve traveled back in time to save an ancient species from film annihilation. So far, no signs of aquatic life, but I’m going to find it. If I have to tear this universe another black hole, I’m going to find it. I’ve
SPEAKER 27 :
Got to, mister. Ace, get out of the tank. I just can’t do it, Captain. I said get out of the tank now.
SPEAKER 26 :
For God’s sakes, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a pool man.
SPEAKER 12 :
Jim Carrey, what a talent. I mean, what a talent.
SPEAKER 19 :
He’s very, very good. I just recently watched Jim Carrey’s Grinch this Christmas season for the first time.
SPEAKER 28 :
You’d never seen that before?
SPEAKER 19 :
I’d never seen it before. He’s great.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, he is. I thought it was a little slow at times, but wow, what a talent. I think for just pure physical comedy, he’s the greatest of all time.
SPEAKER 28 :
I would have to agree with that.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, I mean, and don’t get me wrong, there are a few who are right up there. Robin Williams, Steve Martin, actually, and a number of others. But Jim Carrey, oh my gosh, what a talent. Okay, Luke, you’re up. Go!
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, this is a pretty funny one. And for me, one of the highest ranking, best children’s animated movies of all time, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
SPEAKER 29 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
That was funny. That movie is, again, another staple in the family that we quote all the time. But then also all of the characters are really grounded for some reason and very nuanced and well-written. It’s very bizarre for a children’s movie about food falling from the sky. I like it.
SPEAKER 12 :
I like it. Well done, sir. Ashley, you’re up.
SPEAKER 28 :
All right. I think I’m going to have to go with 17 again, starring Zac Efron.
SPEAKER 12 :
You know what? I never saw it.
SPEAKER 19 :
You’re alone right now, Ashley.
SPEAKER 28 :
I’ve never seen it either.
SPEAKER 12 :
Zach Efron can be hilarious.
SPEAKER 28 :
This movie is one of those ones where, oh, I messed up my life. I want to go back and do it over again. So, you know, this old guy manages to get a second chance at going to high school and getting a basketball scholarship to go to college. And he’s played by Zach Efron and… He’s dealing with all of this drama of, yeah, I’m trying to get a basketball scholarship, but also my son is a nerd who gets bullied and my daughter is dating my son’s bully. I don’t know what to do. And there’s so many just silly little situations that happen to him throughout it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, very good. I’m sure it’s good because I like Zac Efron. I mean, he’s just really good.
SPEAKER 28 :
When he turns young again, you get this great lightsaber fight that ends in both of the main guys just on the floor in pain, and it’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 12 :
Sounds good. Okay, I may have to see that. Okay, up next, and let’s do one more round here. Have either of you ever seen the cheerleader movie Bring It On?
SPEAKER 28 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 12 :
No. Well, that’s another teen movie that was made fun of in Not Another Teen Movie.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, so in Bring It On, you’ve got the black school with the cheerleaders who suspect the other school of stealing their cheers. And so that happens in Bring It On, and they come up to the white cheerleaders and accuse them of taking their stuff. Here we go.
SPEAKER 08 :
Don’t think you foolin’ us because we saw you at our practice and I know you stole our routine.
SPEAKER 33 :
Kay, I don’t know what you’re talking about because we’ve always done our own cheers.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right, girls? That’s right. Well, then you better bring it. Oh, it’s already been brought. Nice comeback, Priscilla.
SPEAKER 30 :
We are the North Compton Wildcats. We’re black. We know it. We shake our big booties and show it. We ain’t white. We ain’t white.
SPEAKER 29 :
We definitely ain’t white.
SPEAKER 11 :
Stupid. It is so stupid.
SPEAKER 12 :
Now, not another teen movie is not a movie for kids. I’ll just say that. But it is hilarious. That’s another one that John Rush heartily recommends. As he says, he just laughed himself sick at that. Luke, you’re up. Go.
SPEAKER 19 :
I think I recall you didn’t. Correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t think you like this movie. I watched it and thought it was hilarious. Okay. Bodies, bodies, bodies.
SPEAKER 12 :
I thought… Oh, no, I thought it had moments. I didn’t think it was greater or bad.
SPEAKER 19 :
I thought it was a hilarious satire movie. Everyone is just fumbling around like idiots. The scene at the end where she’s super serious, very, very serious acting. your family’s upper middle class. It’s so good.
SPEAKER 12 :
The thing for me with Bodies, Bodies, Bodies is there were some very funny moments and then I just felt it had… Yeah, fair enough. It dragged between them. That’s all. But no, no, I didn’t think it was awful. I just didn’t think it was great. For a great comedy, I need one that just keeps it coming.
SPEAKER 28 :
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 28 :
Go, Ashley. I’m going to go with White Chicks.
SPEAKER 12 :
That was funny.
SPEAKER 28 :
Specifically, White Chicks, the unrated version, which I think is only on Netflix at this point.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, really? I think so. White Chicks is wrong. It’s just wrong. Okay. Somebody who is not wrong, that is Kevin Flesch at Flesch Law. Corey and I won easily with Kevin Flesch. You can, too. Call Flesch Law. That’s F-L-E-S-C-H at 303-806-8886. Or you can go to FleschLawFirm.com.
SPEAKER 04 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks. Call now for a free consultation, 303-806-8886.
SPEAKER 15 :
TJ here with KLZ Radio, and I’ve got Al Smith from Golden Eagle Financial with us once again. Al, we are coming into a new year here now, and we’ve talked recently about getting a fresh look at our retirement accounts. So tell me what that means a little bit. What kind of stuff do you want folks to look at?
SPEAKER 35 :
Well, a fresh look is not only looking at the past and seeing how you’re doing, but putting together what you would like it to look like in the future, not just growth, but are things on track? Some other maybe non-financial things. Are there some other things that you have concerns about as you get closer to retirement?
SPEAKER 15 :
Very cool. And what do you do for folks when they come in? And let’s say it’s a potential client that you’ve never seen before. Where do you start looking with a new account like that?
SPEAKER 35 :
Well, I have a pretty lengthy conversation where we dive into a timeline when they might like to retire and a little… a few income things so we could get a handle on the amount of money they’re going to need to retire. What does that look like for you? Are you going to be traveling a lot? Are you going to be skiing? Are you going to be spending a lot of time at home? Because some people’s idea of retirement means they’re going to need $10,000, $12,000 a month. Other people, $4,000 or $5,000 is going to be very adequate depending on what kind of things they do in retirement.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s pretty great. Al Smith goes through a lot more than just numbers, folks. He’s about people and really wants to find out exactly what you want to do with your retirement. Al, how do people get in touch with you if they want to start that process?
SPEAKER 35 :
Well, you can reach me at the office, 303-744-1128. My cell is 303-875-4572. I reply to texts and And if you’d like to hear about taxes as you get closer to retirement, there’s an event coming up January 10th at Arapahoe Community College. You got it, Al.
SPEAKER 15 :
And as always, you can reach Al from the klzradio.com website. Just go to klzradio.com slash money. Al, thanks so much for joining us today.
SPEAKER 35 :
Well, you’re welcome. Thanks for having me, TJ.
SPEAKER 06 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 12 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush, along with Ashley Cart and Luke Cash.
SPEAKER 04 :
Man.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, here we go. Look, John’s not here, so I’ve got to go to one of his favorites to honor him. To honor John Rush, we now do Dumb and Dumber. Here we go. Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 27 :
I can’t believe we drove around all day and there’s not a single job in this town. There’s nothing, nada, zip.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah, unless you want to work 40 hours a week. Why are you going to the airport? Flying somewhere? Hey, I guess they’re right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I’ll be right back. Don’t you go dying on me!
SPEAKER 12 :
Once again, Jim Carrey, when he was at his peak, was unbelievable.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, Luke, you’re up. Go. We were talking about some more parody movies kind of during the break. There are a dime a dozen, and the good ones are a treat, just like how Spaceballs is quite the treat.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, Spaceballs. Spaceballs, I left myself sick. Here we go. Got to play a little.
SPEAKER 13 :
Not so fast, Lone Star. Helmet. So… At last, we meet for the first time for the last time.
SPEAKER 03 :
Before you die, there is something you should know about us, Lone Star. What? I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate. What’s that make us? Absolutely nothing! which is what you are about to become.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh my gosh, Spaceballs was so funny.
SPEAKER 28 :
I just love the fact that they were told by George Lucas, you cannot make your hero look like Han Solo. So they’re like, okay, we’ll make him look like Indiana Jones instead.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, it’s just crazy. I don’t know why Lucas cared. It blows my mind. I think he should have been honored. Ashley, you’re up.
SPEAKER 28 :
All right, this one’s more of a dark comedy. It kind of makes you feel bad for laughing at the funny bits, but it’s Jojo Rabbit.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, wow. Yeah, that is a dark comedy. Hitler comedy.
SPEAKER 28 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well.
SPEAKER 28 :
It’s funny, though. The funny parts are hilarious, and then it gets to the dark parts, and you’re like, I should not have laughed at that.
SPEAKER 12 :
I actually also just found it very artistically impressive. Maybe I’m alone. No, I think you’re right.
SPEAKER 19 :
As a matter of fact, I think the comedy and the dark parts work so well together.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, they do.
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s from the perspective of the child. It’s like you kind of get lost in the whimsy, and then reality slaps you in the mouth, and you go, oh.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I mean, when you’re going through those hard times of life, wouldn’t you want Hitler as your imaginary friend? mean that was my thing i’m like what little boy in world war ii germany wouldn’t have their great leader as his imaginary friend yeah i guess so all right just weird okay here we go um a classic movie gotta play some office space here’s the interview so if you would would you walk us through a typical day for you yeah great well i generally come in at least 15 minutes late uh
SPEAKER 36 :
I use the side door, that way Lumber can’t see me. And after that, I just sort of space out for about an hour.
SPEAKER 25 :
Space out?
SPEAKER 36 :
Yeah. I just stare at my desk. But it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I’d say in a given week, I probably only do about 15 minutes of real, actual work. Listen, I’m going to go. It’s been really nice talking to both of you guys.
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely. The pleasure’s all on this side of the table. Trust me.
SPEAKER 36 :
Good luck with your layoffs, all right? I hope your firings go really well. Excellent. Great.
SPEAKER 11 :
These are a couple of corporate headhunters they brought in just to fire people, and he doesn’t even care about his job anymore.
SPEAKER 28 :
Honestly, if I was at that point, I wouldn’t either.
SPEAKER 11 :
In a whole week, I do maybe 15 minutes of real work. That’s corporate America.
SPEAKER 12 :
Luke, do you do more than 15 minutes of work a week? I hope so. If you go over 15, do you pull a muscle? Or, I mean, are you okay?
SPEAKER 19 :
You know, usually I’m fine. Running the show behind the board today is really ticking over on that timer. So, yeah, I think next week we’ll keep it to a minute of work.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, Charlie is more of a natural. I can see sweat just pouring down your brow the entire time. I know it’s been rough, but you’re doing all right. Oh, thank you. Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 19 :
Let’s go with a movie that was way ahead of its time, released 10 years too early, Megamind.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, my gosh. That is my favorite all-time cartoon comedy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Another one of the top 10 children’s cartoon movies.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s so good. Honestly, before that came along, the funniest cartoon movie I’d ever seen might have been Kung Fu Panda. I mean, really close if it wasn’t the funniest. But when Megamind came out, Kung Fu Panda took a big second seat.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, Megamind is exceptional.
SPEAKER 28 :
Well, and Megamind is one that still holds up no matter what.
SPEAKER 19 :
I think that’s why I said it came out 10 years too early. It holds up more now after having all these big superhero movies released. Megamind came out when there wasn’t really anything. Megamind should have come out today and it would have been funnier.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Megamind, hilarious. Well done, sir. I’m bowing to you. I am bowing to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Well done. Ashley, you’re up. You’ll never be able to follow that, but go ahead. Give it a try.
SPEAKER 28 :
I will not be able to follow that, but I’m going to go with The Pacifier.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh! With the greatest actor of all time, Vin Diesel. Yes! Yes! John Rush hates Vin Diesel with a passion that cannot possibly be matched. I’m just saying. But yeah, Vin Diesel and the Pass Fire. My wife actually kind of likes that movie. Okay, let’s take a break. When we come back, we’ll go rapid fire because I got a ton more. Sound good? Sounds great. Okay, up next is… Michael Bailey Law. Hey, Corey and I, we got our trust put together by Michael, so now we sleep easy. By the way, he makes it so easy. Such a nice guy. For me, doing a trust is a scary thing.
SPEAKER 28 :
I think that’s a scary thing for anyone.
SPEAKER 12 :

SPEAKER 12 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush, along with Luke Cash. Ma’am. And Ashley Carr. Carr. Okay, here we go. I got to do a little bit of one classic here, and that is Liar Liar. And at one point… One of his bosses finds out he cannot not tell. He cannot lie. And so she puts him in a bad position. He winds up having to insult everybody in the room. And he thinks it’s a roast. Here we go.
SPEAKER 26 :
You’re the biggest brown nose I’ve ever seen. You’ve got your head so far up Mr. Allen’s ass, I can’t tell where you end and he begins. Priceless. You have bad breath caused by gingivitis. You couldn’t get a porn star off. Your hairpiece looks like something that was killed crossing the highway. I don’t know whether to comb it or scrape it off with a shovel and bury it alive. Loser! Idiot! Wimp!
SPEAKER 27 :
Degenerate!
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s a classic.
SPEAKER 28 :
I haven’t seen that movie in a couple of years, and I was shocked by the things that I just forgot.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, well, I’ll just say this. Liar Liar, I thought, was his funniest movie ever. And, I mean, Jim Carrey at the peak of his powers. Just absolutely hilarious. What do you think, Luke?
SPEAKER 19 :
I’ve never seen the full movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, you haven’t?
SPEAKER 19 :
I’ve only ever caught it in clips and snippets when it’s playing on TV back in the day.
SPEAKER 12 :
Obviously, he’s hysterical, but it’s also very cute with him and his son. It’s a lot of fun.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, Luke, you’re up. Go. Oh, let’s go with one of those movies that’s so bad it’s good. It’s so awful it’s hilarious. The Room.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah. I did not see the room.
SPEAKER 19 :
You’ve never seen the room?
SPEAKER 28 :
The problem with the room is it’s not supposed to be a comedy.
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s not supposed to be a comedy. It’s just that comically poorly made. It’s so bad. It’s hilarious. What is it? That’s a good question. What is it?
SPEAKER 12 :
Is that a bunch of people trapped in a room?
SPEAKER 19 :
No, no. It’s a man who really tried his best to make a movie, but never learned how to make a movie. And for some reason, it picked up enough traction that it got played. Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. I don’t know how to describe it other than a surreal experience.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, now we all know, folks, you got something to rent called The Room. Ashley, you’re up.
SPEAKER 28 :
All right, I’m going to go with a Disney funny movie, a goofy movie.
SPEAKER 12 :

Are you guys ready? I’m ready. Okay, let’s go with something that’s not wholesome at all. Good boys. Have you seen Good Boys, anybody? Another one where I’ve seen clips.
