Who’s your favorite movie villain—and why do we secretly love the worst of the worst? In this hilarious “Movie Rental Hour” episode of Rush to Reason, John Rush, Andy Peth, and Richard go on a villainous rampage through cinematic history. From Darth Vader to Dr. Evil, the Joker to Jaws, the gang debates who truly deserves the title of Most Iconic Baddie. They throw in picks like Bane, Scar, and even the shark from Jaws, proving that bad guys (and man-eating fish) really do make the movie.
But don’t worry, it’s not all movie madness—Al Smith from Golden Eagle Financial
SPEAKER 20 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 26 :
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 20 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 26 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
SPEAKER 07 :
Get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 30 :
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 23 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush, presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 17 :
All right, we are back. Hour number two, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. We’re going to head into movie rental hour now. Best bad guys, and we’ll take a break here in a moment, get started. But any criteria here at all, Andy?
SPEAKER 19 :
No, the only criteria is it’s got to be a guy. Okay. And they’ve got to be bad in some way in the movie. I’ve got to be honest, John. Don’t you think bad guys make the movie almost as much as good guys?
SPEAKER 17 :
In a lot of cases, yes.
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, look at it this way. Let’s say you don’t have a good villain at all. You’ve got a boring villain. Even if you have a good guy, it’s pretty hard to make the movie good. It just doesn’t roll unless you’ve got a really bad guy to go against. I love good bad guys. They make the movie.
SPEAKER 17 :
I agree with that. Yeah. Can’t argue that whatsoever. Okay, so we’ll get going here. We’ll take a break. We’ll come back, get plenty of time for our first segment. If you’ve got some – which, by the way, I’ll throw this out there. I don’t have a ton of these on my list. I mean, I guess I do because a lot of guys repeat themselves and are bad guys again and again.
SPEAKER 01 :
Right.
SPEAKER 17 :
So I guess we have that. But I don’t have a – an extra amount on my list like I normally do. So if you want to add some to our list, by all means, 307-200-8222 is our text line, 307-200-8222.

SPEAKER 05 :
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 17 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Myself, Andy Pate, and my son Richard. I think Richard is with us now. Are you there, Richard? That I am. Okay, so best bad guys in movies. Andy, take it away.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, well, we’ve got to go to the most evil one of all, and let’s start.
SPEAKER 16 :
You had your chance, okay? I already had someone created in my image. He’s evil, he wants to take over the world, and he fits easily into most overhead storage bid. It’s no hassle.
SPEAKER 07 :
But, um… All I’m saying… They’re gonna get a… I… I’m just… Knock, knock.
SPEAKER 16 :
Who’s there? Look, let me tell you a little story about a man named… Even before you start. That was a preemptive shh. Just know I have a whole bag of shh with your name on it. Stop.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s hilarious. Never mind. Dr. Evil. Oh.
SPEAKER 19 :
What a great character. Oh, man. Mike Myers has created some great characters, but that has got to be the best one with all due respect to the star of that movie. I’m sorry, but Dr. Evil was the best character. He made it. He’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 1 :
Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 19 :
What do you think, Richard?
SPEAKER 20 :
I was going to say, the characters he plays in, you probably could just say Mike Myers, and that would work for you.
SPEAKER 19 :
I know. I know. Fat Bastard’s even good as a bad guy. Oh, Fat Bastard was great. Get in my belly. Get in my belly. Little man. Get in my belly. Oh, that’s hilarious. Yes. Okay, Richard, there’s no way you can top that, but go ahead and waste your time anyway.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, Andy, I am going to top it, and I’m going to take one that both of you are dying to take because he’s so roany.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh! Oh, I don’t have that one. I don’t have it. No, that one’s good, though.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, Kim Jong-un in… I mean, it’s on my list, but I didn’t get to it.
SPEAKER 19 :
Team America.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s right. Kim Jong-un and Team America. There you go. I can’t believe you don’t have it ready, Andy. You know what? It’s been like two weeks since we played a clip.
SPEAKER 19 :
I know. At least two weeks. I’m a bad radio host. How can I not have I’m So Ronery?
SPEAKER 17 :
That’s hilarious. I’m So Ronery.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 17 :
Good one. Good one.
SPEAKER 19 :
Good one. I like it. Go ahead, John.
SPEAKER 17 :
Top of my list, just because he was in a recent movie where he actually, in F1, where he didn’t play a bad guy, but Javier Bardem, where he’s in No Country for Old Men, also in Skyfall, just makes a tremendous… I mean, he made a really good guy in F1, but… Well, you know, I was thinking No Country.
SPEAKER 19 :
I wasn’t thinking Skyfall.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, he’s a bad guy there, too. Oh, he’s… So good. Really good bad guy. What a great actor. He is awesome. There isn’t much he can’t do. No, and he’s just got that bad guy look to him, even, where it’s just this stoic, I’m a bad guy, but I don’t have to run around and beat you up to prove I’m a bad guy. I just look like a bad guy. I just am. I am one.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, okay. Well, okay, but as long as we’re going to go there, then let’s go to, I think, the best performance possibly ever by a bad guy, certainly in the top five. Heath Ledger as the Joker, and here he is being interrogated by Batman. And this is about a minute, but it’s worth it. Here we go.
SPEAKER 1 :
Kill me.
SPEAKER 23 :
I don’t want to kill you. What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no. No. No, you. You complete me. You’re garbage who kills for money. Don’t talk like one of them. You’re not. Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak. Like me. They need you right now. When they don’t, they’ll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their code… Oh, man. He was good. Oh!
SPEAKER 19 :
Heath Ledger, why, why, why did he have to die?
SPEAKER 17 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, what a loss. What an incredible performance. Richard, has anybody ever topped it for a villain?
SPEAKER 20 :
No, I don’t know if anyone will, to be honest with you, Andy. It’s one of those things that it may live on forever. Very rarely does that happen.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, so good, so good. Okay, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right, I’m going to keep it in the Batman light, or I guess kind of universe, whatever you want to say it. Okay. And I’m going to go with Bane.
SPEAKER 28 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
And obviously Bane, not, you know, Batman, Robin, you know, whatever it is, Arnold, you know, that one. But I’m going to go with Tom Hardy as Bane because he was phenomenal.
SPEAKER 19 :
I like Tom Hardy so much. I mean, even if a movie – even if I don’t love the movie – I like Tom Hardy, if he’s in it. He’s good.
SPEAKER 20 :
He is really good.
SPEAKER 19 :
He is good. And, of course, he was in Mad Max Fury Road, which, you know. Which is even better, Andy. Yeah, that’s even better.
SPEAKER 17 :
I’m just saying. But he was a good guy in that movie.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, same thing.
SPEAKER 17 :
Was there any good guys in that movie?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, no. Not totally. But there you go.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, John, you’re up. Let’s see here. Because this one came in on the text line as well, I might as well throw it in. Loki in Thor.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, he’s a good bad guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
I’ve played his too many times lately.
SPEAKER 17 :
He’s good. He’s good.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, actually, he was the best bad guy, I believe, in the entire Marvel Universe.
SPEAKER 17 :
I would agree with that.
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, just the most entertaining.
SPEAKER 17 :
I would agree with that.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, I got one that might be better, but we’ll go to that in a moment. John, go ahead.
SPEAKER 22 :
Hey, guys. How are you today?
SPEAKER 17 :
We’re good. How are you?
SPEAKER 22 :
So I’m going to steal one, but I got a question. One of the best villains was Lex Luthor, but who played the best Lex Luthor?
SPEAKER 19 :
You know, my honest opinion is the latest one, Nicholas Holt.
SPEAKER 22 :
I haven’t seen it yet, so I can’t. But I always thought of a movie that wasn’t great. was Kevin Spacey in Superman Returns did a phenomenal job, I thought.
SPEAKER 19 :
He did. The movie is not his fault. Let’s put it that way.
SPEAKER 22 :
No. But he played the character perfectly.
SPEAKER 19 :
Agreed.
SPEAKER 22 :
The other character, I can’t remember the character’s name, but Claude Rains played him in the Hitchcock movie Notorious. And what he did to Ingrid Bergman was so evil. that he’s got to be up there at the top, bad guys. I don’t know if you guys remember that in all black and white.
SPEAKER 19 :
I do not. But I know Claude Rains was great.
SPEAKER 22 :
In everything he did, but he played a really great bad guy. And then I got one other one, and this goes old school, but it’s one of my favorite movies. So I got to say Long Hair and the Cowboys played by Bruce Dern.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yes. And Bruce Dern played a few good villains.
SPEAKER 22 :
Oh, yeah, but, you know, you can’t shoot John Wayne in the back and not be a villain.
SPEAKER 17 :
No. He was good.
SPEAKER 22 :
Guys, have a great weekend.
SPEAKER 17 :
You too, John. Appreciate you very much. All right, Andy, your turn.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, I think we’ve got to get to the best villain of all time. Certainly the best known. Here he is, Mr. Darth Vader.
SPEAKER 14 :
Darth Vader, the fleet has moved out of flight speed and we’re preparing to…
SPEAKER 29 :
You have failed me for the last time, Admiral. Captain Piet. Yes, my lord. Make ready to land our troops beyond their energy field and deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off the system. You are in command now, Admiral Piet. Thank you, Lord Vader. You may dispense with the presentries.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, and they just have several… I’m telling you what. You could take almost all villains ever played… and overlay the voice of James Earl Jones, and it would be better. Obviously not the Joker, but you know what I mean. James Earl Jones, what a voice. What a deep, menacing voice. Incredible. What do you think, Richard?
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, you did steal mine, Andy, but it wouldn’t be you without stealing.
SPEAKER 19 :
I know. Well, your wife has been texting me your next one.
SPEAKER 20 :
She should be. But yes, phenomenal, Andy. You are correct. Oh, yeah. You’re up. All right, let’s see here. Hannibal Lecter.
SPEAKER 19 :
So good. Here we go, really quick. Okay, Clarice.
SPEAKER 06 :
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
SPEAKER 17 :
So disgusting.
SPEAKER 19 :
And yet, don’t we all feel that way about census takers?
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
I just thought that was.
SPEAKER 17 :
Just unreal. That was awesome. That is like also one of the like, you know, epic movies of all time.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, what a performance.
SPEAKER 17 :
Was it not?
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was so different and just such a great performance. I couldn’t get enough of it.
SPEAKER 17 :
So there you go. I agree.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay. Am I up?
SPEAKER 17 :
No. I think I am.
SPEAKER 19 :
You are. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 17 :
Let’s do Russell Crowe. I don’t know if you guys have seen this movie, but it’s called Unhinged. It’s Russell Crowe, which is normally a good guy. But in this movie, he’s a bad guy, and he’s like this divorcee, and there’s some road rage, and I won’t go any more into the movie because it’ll give the movie away, but he is the worst bad guy in this movie ever. Okay. It’s actually very suspenseful. There’s hardly any parts of it that are not. You would love it because the movie just rolls along all the time.
SPEAKER 19 :
All right.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s really good, actually.
SPEAKER 19 :
I do get impatient. What is this?
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s called Unhinged.
SPEAKER 19 :
I like Russell Crowe.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s actually really good. Again, it’s the story of a gal and her kid trying to get away from Russell Crowe out of a road rage accident or incident where he’s now trying to kill them.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay. It’s good. Very cool. Okay, well, let’s get to a very iconic villain. Here we go.
SPEAKER 09 :
Since you’re new here, I’m gonna cut you a break today So why don’t you make like a tree And get out of here.
SPEAKER 19 :
Biff from Back to the Future. I’m telling you what. What a great character. And there again, once again, John, obviously it’s a great movie, great characters. You’ve got Marty. You’ve got Doc. It’s going to be a winner no matter what. But then you add that kind of a villain who’s in your face, over the top, the entire way, and well acted. It just made it for me. Did you ever see Back to the Future, Richard? Andy, come on now. Come on now.
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, I know you’re only, what, 12? How old are you? Yes, you are correct. Yes, 12, Andy.
SPEAKER 19 :
You have a lot of kids for a 12-year-old, just so you know.
SPEAKER 20 :
A little bit of a problem there, Andy. But yes, back to the future. Great. Well, and I guess Biff, he is a villain. He is.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yeah. Because he’s always in Marty’s face. Always.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, he’s the villain. He’s the bad guy.
SPEAKER 20 :
True. Fair enough.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, he was funny. I loved him. Anyway, you’re up, Richard. Go.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right, one that you all hate, Dad, but that’s okay. Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter.
SPEAKER 17 :
Don’t know that one.
SPEAKER 19 :
Excellent.
SPEAKER 17 :
Lord who?
SPEAKER 19 :
Voldemort. Lord Voldemort. V-O-L-D-E-M-O-R-T. Voldemort.
SPEAKER 20 :
Very good. Thou art he who shall not be named.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes. So we name him Voldemort. And what is this one out of again? Harry Potter? Harry Potter.
SPEAKER 19 :
I can’t believe you. You know, John. What? Talk to your wife. She has a heart. Talk to your wife and ask her about Harry Potter.
SPEAKER 17 :
She’s never seen him either.
SPEAKER 19 :
Really?
SPEAKER 17 :
No.
SPEAKER 19 :
You can share this.
SPEAKER 17 :
Share Harry Potter. Oh, it’s good. Okay, you guys just gave me an idea a moment ago of one that wasn’t on my list. I’m adding some of these. Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, he was wonderful.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right?
SPEAKER 19 :
He was great. Shooter McGavin was so funny and so vicious and mean and awful. I loved him. I couldn’t get enough of Shooter.
SPEAKER 17 :
He’s awesome.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, we’ve got to get to this one just because I know I’ve done it many times, but I love the clip anyway, and we’ve got to do it. Here we go.
SPEAKER 25 :
Not so fast, Lone Star.
SPEAKER 27 :
Helmet. So. At last, we meet for the first time for the last time.
SPEAKER 25 :
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. Prepare to die.
SPEAKER 19 :
One thing.
SPEAKER 25 :
Lightsabers. You have the ring. And I see your Schwartz is as big as mine.
SPEAKER 17 :
All righty then.
SPEAKER 19 :
I’m sorry, it never gets old.
SPEAKER 17 :
No, it doesn’t.
SPEAKER 19 :
It doesn’t. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All righty. And this is for my wife, who just mentioned this one. Cruella de Vil, Andy.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, that’s a female. It has to be a man.
SPEAKER 19 :
Although an argument could be made. No, no, we said men. Bad guys. But an argument could be made. She’s a man.
SPEAKER 20 :
You say that Cruella is not identifying as a male. Yeah, I mean, you know.
SPEAKER 19 :
There is that. It’s a new age. So we can’t be too harsh. Okay. And, you know, your wife is a psychologist. She understands identifying. that people might do that.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, true, true.
SPEAKER 20 :
You are correct, Andy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, John, you’re on.
SPEAKER 17 :
Hey, going back in time. And you two may not have this on your list. Probably don’t. Yul Brynner as Pharaoh in Ten Commandments.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, excellent.
SPEAKER 17 :
Excellent. Right? And boy, was he good. Great bad guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
You know, the funny thing is, the guy who played Moses, of course, was wonderful. Yul Brynner was more memorable.
SPEAKER 17 :
I agree. Charlton Heston, yeah, he’s memorable. A little bit.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah, totally.
SPEAKER 17 :
But still, Yul Brynner was great. But Brynner was incredible. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, let’s do an easy one. Here we go.
SPEAKER 20 :
here’s johnny jack nicholson the shining yeah that one counts oh so good okay richard you’re up all right dad you’ll know this one because it was my one of my favorite books growing up or my favorite movies i should say but it’s the jungle book andy sheer khan yeah it’s on my list he was he was terrific i forget the name of the actor but what a great voice Let me see here if I can find it. George Sanders.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yep. Fantastic. George Sanders. Okay. I have one because this is odd because he doesn’t normally play a bad guy, and so I tried my best to even find some that are a little bit out of the norm, and that is Tom Cruise in Collateral.
SPEAKER 1 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 17 :
He’s a bad guy in Collateral, but the whole movie is about him.
SPEAKER 19 :
You know, what are actors who almost never play a bad guy but have? There’s Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, What Lies Beneath, Denzel, Training Day. Okay. Richard, would Denzel be a bad guy in Training Day? I think so.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, he is, but he’s the bad guy… He’s one of those bad guys that you love, and then obviously at the end you don’t love, right? They do a good job at turning it, but yes, I would say he is.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, and these guys are so good, it almost seems wrong for them to play a bad guy. We’ll just go with that for mine. Okay, go ahead, Richard. You’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right. You may, well, let’s see here. This is on this list. I don’t know if I agree with it. but it says Al Pacino as Michael Corleone. Oh, yeah. He’s on my list.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, he’s on my list. But is he a villain in that?
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, he’s in the mafia. Of course he’s a bad guy.
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, the mafia is the good guy. Well, I don’t know about the good guy.
SPEAKER 17 :
No, that’s good.
SPEAKER 20 :
It makes you want to be a mafia member, doesn’t it?
SPEAKER 19 :
No, that’s a good one. I totally want to be a Mafia member because of that movie.
SPEAKER 20 :
I’m just saying. You do.
SPEAKER 17 :
That one counts.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, I’m going to go Richards. Go down his path. Only I’m going to do one more movie of Al Pacino, Scarface.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh. Oh, say hello.
SPEAKER 17 :
My little friend.
SPEAKER 19 :
My little friend.
SPEAKER 17 :
He’s a bad guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right?
SPEAKER 19 :
And he’s also a great actor.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 19 :
Awesome. Do we have time for one?
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yeah. Keep going. Yeah, we’re good. We’ll do it in the round.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay. We got to do one of my favorite bad guys of all time, and that is Jack from Speed. Here we go.
SPEAKER 27 :
Come on. Just take your gun. Stay right there. Stay right there. I’ll do it. I’ll let go. I’ll let go. Oh, yeah. You still don’t get it, do you, Jack? Huh? The beauty of it. A bomb is made to explode. That’s its meaning, its purpose. Your life is empty because you spend it trying to stop the bomb from becoming. And for who? For what? Do you know what a bomb is, Jack, that doesn’t explode? It is a cheap gold watch, buddy. You’re crazy. You’re crazy. Oh, no. Poor people are crazy, Jack. I’m eccentric.
SPEAKER 17 :
Poor people are crazy. I’m eccentric.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s Dennis Hopper as Howard Payne in Speed, and I’m telling you what, he also is in my top five of all time for villains. I agree. He was incredible. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
I will give you that, Andy. All right. On my list here, Andy, is… Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas from American Gangster.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. Okay, he played too.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, he’s a bad guy, but he’s phenomenal as the bad guy, good guy.
SPEAKER 17 :
He is. I’ll give you that one. No, that’s a good one, because he’s a bad guy. He is. He’s a drug kingpin and taking over the city and all that. Yeah, no, you’re right. Good movie, by the way.
SPEAKER 19 :
He’s so great, though.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, I have one that you guys probably wouldn’t think of as well, and you just reminded me when you said Jack Nicholson a moment ago. A Few Good Men.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 17 :
Because he’s the bad guy. He is.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, Jack Nicholson, though, can play a lot of bad guys.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, he can. And he does. He can.
SPEAKER 19 :
And a good guy. Look at his face. He just looks like a bad guy. He looks like a villain. He probably freaked out his teacher when he was eight.
SPEAKER 17 :
He looks angry when he’s happy. I know. It’s so great. All right. Let’s take a break. We’ll come back. Golden Eagle Financial interview coming up. Stay tuned. We’ll be back right after that.
SPEAKER 12 :
This is TJ with KLZ Radio, and I’ve got Al Smith from Golden Eagle Financial here in the studio with me. Al and I were just talking about how in retirement he helps his clients to stretch the time in their retirement. Al, what do you mean by that? Tell us a little bit more about how time works in retirement.
SPEAKER 33 :
Well, when you think about leaving the working world, you think about, well, it’s still going to take money to live on once I’m retired. And that nest egg, whatever that is, that’s going to permit you to do what you want to do with the time that you have sort of earned for yourself. So the nest egg is not only in dollars, but it’s also in the time that you have to do the things that you believe will be fulfilling in retirement. And when I have a conversation with people, I think it’s equally important to think about how they’re going to be spending their time as it is to accumulate a nest egg.
SPEAKER 12 :
You’ve got to have some pretty good examples of things that people do in retirement. So open the door for us. What sort of things can we expect?
SPEAKER 33 :
Well, sure. I have one gentleman who is very much into aviation. He owns his own small plane. He actually works on that small plane. He’s within a few years of retirement. He’s retirement age. But right now, while he’s working, he takes his small aircraft, flies to locations where he investigates air disasters. I also have some people who spend a lot of time with their grandkids, some of whom live nearby and some are a little farther away. I have some who are incredibly involved with their churches and go on missionary trips and so forth.
SPEAKER 12 :
How do people get in touch with you if they want to stretch that time out in their retirement?
SPEAKER 33 :
They can reach me at 303-744-1128. And if they’re driving when they hear this, you can contact KLZ and they’ll put them in touch with me.
SPEAKER 12 :
Of course, as always, you can find Golden Eagle Financial on klzradio.com slash advertisers and get right in touch with Al if you’re driving and can’t write that number down. Al, thank you so much for joining us today.
SPEAKER 33 :
You’re welcome.
SPEAKER 12 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 17 :
All right, we are back. Best bad guys in movies. Go ahead, Andy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, I’m going to go with John’s favorite actor, John Travolta. And this is from, have you ever seen Broken Arrow? I don’t think I ever have. Dumb movie. Action movie. Lots and lots of action. But he is the bad guy. Christian Slater is the good guy. But their acting, those two opposed to each other, made it a fun movie. I’ve actually seen it like five times. I enjoy it. Here he is in Broken Arrow, John Travolta.
SPEAKER 11 :
I just realized something. I never actually killed anyone before. I mean, I dropped bombs on Baghdad, but never face-to-face. I don’t know what the big deal is. I really don’t.
SPEAKER 19 :
He was good. And a lot of personality. They had great personality. So Broken Arrow, it is worth watching. It’s a lot of fun. Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Very good, Andy. I have not seen all of it. I’ve seen bits and pieces of it, but good movie. Yeah. By the way, good villain there. Okay, I’ve got one that he normally doesn’t play a villain. Sometimes he does, and he’s good. And this one, you may not even think of him as a villain, but technically he is since you people are making me do that, which is going to be Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, that works.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s true.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, he’s the villain.
SPEAKER 20 :
Again, I don’t think he’s super villainy. He’s not maybe the villain in the truest sense, but he technically is the bad guy that’s doing things wrong.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay. No, he gets caught at the end, goes to prison, all that. Yeah, no. Tom Hanks catches him, basically. Yep. Okay. It’s got it coming. Yeah. Probably pick the movie, but I’m going to go, because there’s others that he’s in, because he’s always a good bad guy, but I’m going to say Gene Hackman in Quick and the Dead.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, okay. Yeah. He plays a lot of good bad guys. You ever see him in Crimson Tide? He was a bad guy in that.
SPEAKER 17 :
Another good one. Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, here’s somebody you wouldn’t think of as… Oh, hang on.
SPEAKER 17 :
We’ve got to take Joe. Really quick. Oh, I didn’t see you. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 18 :
Joe, go ahead. Did you guys do Heath Ledger as the Joker in Batman yet?
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. How about Liam Neeson as Ra’s al Ghul? Oh, yeah. From Batman Begins. From Batman Begins. And one of my favorites, Silverado. You actually had two bad guys. You had Brian Dennehy as Cobb. Oh, yeah. The Crooked Sheriff. And then, of course, they had, what’s his name? Goldblum. Jeff Goldblum as the sleazy gambler. He was a bad guy, too. Stabbed the sister of Danny Glover in the movie. What a great cast. What a great cast that movie had. One more bad guy, going back to Batman. Cillian Murphy, who played the Scarecrow. Oh, yes. What a great actor.
SPEAKER 19 :
I love Cillian Murphy. I can’t get enough of him.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 17 :
Anyway, that’s my contribution for today, guys. Good one, Joe. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. All right, Andy, it’s all yours.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, you’re not going to agree with this, but trust me, in my view, he was the bad guy, and that is Robert De Niro in Meet the Parents. Here we go.
SPEAKER 24 :
Wagging your little tails, happy to see you. You need that assurance, do you? You prefer an emotionally shallow animal?
SPEAKER 28 :
I…
SPEAKER 24 :
You see, Greg, when you yell at a dog, his tail will go between his legs and cover his chin until his ears will go down. A dog is very easy to break. But cats make you work for their affection. They don’t sell out the way dogs do.
SPEAKER 19 :
Huh. Come on, he tortured him the whole movie.
SPEAKER 17 :
Come on, he’s the villain. What’s the one part where he talks about if anything with nipples can be milked or something?
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, yes. I have nipples, Greg.
SPEAKER 17 :
Can you milk me? It’s too much. I agree with you. No, he’s a bad guy. He torments him the whole movie. Yeah. All of the movies.
SPEAKER 19 :
In fact, he was almost as horrifying as watching Silence of the Lambs for me. It’s hilarious. It was just awful. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
I believe the anniversary was just recently, and he’s probably the best villain in movie, maybe in cinematic history, Andy, which is the shark in Jaws.
SPEAKER 19 :
I agree. It’s on my list. The shark in Jaws. And was he a guy? He was totally a guy. You can tell.
SPEAKER 20 :
He was a guy, because women sharks aren’t that mean, Andy. I just know these things.
SPEAKER 17 :
Charlie says it was a guy, so…
SPEAKER 19 :
No, no, no. Charlie Katz. I could say some things I’m not going to. So we’ll just leave it right there.
SPEAKER 17 :
I don’t want to get in trouble. Yeah, save yourself. Okay, I have another bad guy that plays a lot of bad guys. Plays some funny good guys as well, but Joe Pesci.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 17 :
Either Casino, Goodfellas. You can keep going down the list if you want. Yeah. Because Joe Pesci plays a good bad guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, the fun thing about Pesci is good or bad, he plays annoying.
SPEAKER 17 :
And he’s funny and annoying at the same time. Exactly.
SPEAKER 19 :
So he can be a good bad guy.
SPEAKER 17 :
Isn’t that Goodfellas, though, where he kills the guy at the bar with the pen? I think. Isn’t it Goodfellas, Richard?
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s been so long.
SPEAKER 17 :
You know, the other guy’s at the bar, and he says something about something, and Pesci didn’t like it, and so he grabs the pen off the counter. He says, can I see your pen? He just stabs the guy in the neck with his pen and kills him right there at the bar. That’s a Pesci thing to do. Awful.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay. I’m going to go to one that you probably have not thought of, but it’s Christian Slater in Heathers. Here we go. Oh.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right. So maybe I am killing everyone in the school. Because nobody loves me. Let’s face it, alright? The only place different social types can genuinely get along with each other is in heaven. Try the red one, alright? Seriously, people are going to look at the ashes of Westerberg and say, now there is a school that self-destructed not because society didn’t care, but because the school was society.
SPEAKER 19 :
Because the school was society. He was killing everybody. He was really good. Have you seen Heathers? It’s been a while. Creepy.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s been a while.
SPEAKER 19 :
But it’s funny as well. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right. Let’s see here. Andy. Okay. I don’t think we did this. We didn’t do Arnold in the Terminator, did we?
SPEAKER 19 :
We did not. Good one. Very good one.
SPEAKER 20 :
I can’t even believe. I can’t believe it.
SPEAKER 19 :
It was so great when he was the good guy in T2. I just love how they switched it. Okay, John, go ahead.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, I’m going to go along the same lines of Terminator, only I’m going to do T-1000, which is, what’s the guy’s name that plays T-1000?
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, I forget, but Robert Patrick, I think?
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, Robert Patrick.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, yeah, I like him so much.
SPEAKER 17 :
Awesome bad guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, he’s fantastic. Okay, now here is a villain who, in my opinion, in a way, is actually giving a good message here in his monologue here at the end. But this movie, it’s a cartoon, The Incredibles, and this is Syndrome. This cartoon had a great message about not everybody being mediocre, not giving everybody participation trophies. Excellence is a good thing. Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’ll be a bigger hero than you ever were.
SPEAKER 14 :
You mean you killed off real heroes so that you could pretend to be one?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, I’m real. Real enough to defeat you. And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I’ll give them heroics. I’ll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone’s ever seen. And when I’m old and I’ve had my fun, I’ll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super. And when everyone’s super, no one will be.
SPEAKER 19 :
Isn’t that a great message? I just love these people who want to level out society all the time, right? Take from the rich, give to the poor, take from the producers, give to the non-producers, whatever, whatever. And this movie came directly against that. And I just loved it. And all these schools that want to level out kids and give everybody a participation trophy, no. Greatness is good. Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
You are correct, Andy. All right, I’m going to go the animated realm for my kids, for my littlest and teeniest in the Toy Story world. I’m going to go with the first Toy Story here and go with Sid, the mean kid, Andy.
SPEAKER 19 :
He was a bad kid.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, I’ll give you that. I like it. Toy Story, Sid. Okay. I’m going to go with bad guys. We just talked about him a couple of weeks ago. I think Andy and I did, but I don’t know if we talked about it on air or not, but 310 to Yuma, Russell Crowe.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yes!
SPEAKER 17 :
Great bad guy in that movie.
SPEAKER 19 :
Can I throw another Russell Crowe villain in real quick? Yeah. Virtuosity. Oh. Oh, he was so good.
SPEAKER 17 :
He is such a good villain. I love that guy. No, you’re right. Okay, go ahead. Timothy Cheyenne, go ahead.
SPEAKER 21 :
Hey, guys. Nice to hear you chatting it up as usual. Hey, I just wanted to know, do you guys happen to recall the 1968 spaghetti western called Once Upon a Time in the West? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the villain was Henry Fonda, and he did a – I mean, he was great. He was killing children. I mean, well, that’s not great, but you know what I mean.
SPEAKER 19 :
It wasn’t a movie. Thank you for clarifying that, Timothy. Yeah, thank you.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, guys, yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
Talk about a great actor who never played bad. By the way, talk about a great actor who never played bad guys. Right, Timothy? Yeah, good one.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, exactly. Guys, it’s great hearing from you.
SPEAKER 17 :
Thanks. Appreciate you, Timothy. Have a good one. Appreciate you very much. Go ahead, Andy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, I’m going to go with Hades from Hercules. Here we go.
SPEAKER 03 :
Kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on. Nah, I mean, it’s a possibility. It happens. It’s war, but what can I tell you? Anyway, what do you want with these people, huh? Isn’t Meg, isn’t she more important than David? Stop it! Isn’t she? What do you say we shake him up? I really don’t have time to bat this around. I’m kind of on a schedule. I’ve got plans for August. Okay, I need an answer. Now. Guys, Olympus would be that way.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, and anyway, that’s all James Woods. A good Republican, a good MAGA Republican, and also played a great villain. He made that movie. Now, that’s a movie where the villain just made the movie. Did you see that one, Richard?
SPEAKER 20 :
I did. I will give you that. You are correct, Andy.
SPEAKER 19 :
He was so good.
SPEAKER 20 :
You’re up. He was almost better than the whole.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, he was wonderful.
SPEAKER 20 :
Hercules, you remember him more than you remember most. All right, let’s see here. Oh, Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yes, as Commodus. It’s on my list.
SPEAKER 20 :
He was so good. Oh, so good. So good.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yep. Okay, I have one that I know you guys won’t get because he doesn’t normally play a bad guy. Steve Buscemi in Fargo.
SPEAKER 19 :
He wasn’t the baddest guy, but yeah, he’s a bad guy. Okay. How about here we go. We’re going back to Star Trek 2.
SPEAKER 17 :
They put the one guy in the wood chipper, so he’s a pretty bad guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
But didn’t he get put in?
SPEAKER 17 :
No.
SPEAKER 19 :
What happened to him? To Steve Buscemi in that movie? At the end, he doesn’t get… I thought his partner killed him or something. It’s been so long.
SPEAKER 17 :
The Big Oof, I haven’t watched it for a while.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay. Well, Ricardo Montalbán as Khan in Star Trek II, Wrath of Khan. Here we go. Good one.
SPEAKER 1 :
No.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, you can’t get away. From hell’s heart, I stab at thee.
SPEAKER 23 :
For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath.
SPEAKER 19 :
And he blows it up from there. What a great performance, by the way.
SPEAKER 17 :
Really quick. Buscemi, towards the end, dies from his partner with the axe.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, it’s the axe.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, the axe. Not the wood chipper, but the axe. Gross movie.
SPEAKER 19 :
Buscemi is so good.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, he is.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, my gosh.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, absolutely. Okay, who’s next? Richard?
SPEAKER 20 :
I am. All right, Andy, I can’t believe you’re into this one yet. But he is maybe one of the better villains of all time just because his character was perfect, which is Agent Smith from Matrix.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yes. I wanted to get a clip of him. I just didn’t have time to get them all. I loved Agent Smith. He was fantastic.
SPEAKER 17 :
He was phenomenal. What’s the one line he says? Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson. That’s a good one. Good one. We missed you. Okay, here’s one. And it’s Hans in Inglourious Bastards.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, Hans, you threw me off. Did you do that on purpose?
SPEAKER 17 :
No.
SPEAKER 19 :
He was incredible. Hans Landa.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, well, then we’ve got to go with the big one. Another one of my top five. Hans from Die Hard.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yes. Absolutely. Hans Gruber.
SPEAKER 19 :
Go ahead, Richard.
SPEAKER 20 :
Emperor Palpatine. Yes. From Star Wars.
SPEAKER 19 :
Very good, very good.
SPEAKER 17 :
Go ahead, John. Okay, I’m going to go back in time to Good, Bad, Ugly, Angel Eyes.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yes. He was great. He was so good.
SPEAKER 17 :
The bad.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, we got to go with Rob Lowe. Here we go from Tommy Boy.
SPEAKER 1 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
She’s sleeping. What you do is you put your shoulder into her and you push. Cows.
SPEAKER 15 :
And they fall over.
SPEAKER 28 :
Oh, John.
SPEAKER 15 :
And this doesn’t strike you as kind of dumb?
SPEAKER 17 :
We’re family. We’re going to be doing lots of dumb stuff together. Wait till Christmas. That was good. I mean, that was a great movie. Yeah. One of the best of all time.
SPEAKER 19 :
And Rob Lowe is just such a good-natured guy in real life. It was just kind of fun watching him play such an evil guy. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Loki from The Avengers, Andy. I think your dad said it earlier. Okay, well, then I’ll go with one. Dad, you’re going to argue that it’s not like a man, but I’m going to say a man and Andy is going to get in trouble, so we’ll just leave it at that. But Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs, specifically.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, no, they’re dudes.
SPEAKER 17 :
They’re totally dudes. Those are dudes.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 17 :
Big dudes.
SPEAKER 19 :
I think so.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
I’m with you.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER 19 :
Go ahead, John.
SPEAKER 17 :
Michael Douglas, Wall Street, the first one.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah. Hey, good one. I didn’t think of that. Okay, I’m going to go with Kevin Spacey as John Doe in Seven. Oh. Talk about evil. Go ahead, Richard.
SPEAKER 20 :
Let’s see here, Andy. Oh, no, we did that one. Oh, Star Wars, Kylo Ren. Yes.
SPEAKER 19 :
He was good. He was good. Adam, help me out.
SPEAKER 20 :
Adam Driver.
SPEAKER 17 :
Driver. Oh, there we go. Thank you. He says yes. We like him. We all like Adam Driver. Okay, go ahead, Jim. Since you said Kevin Spacey a moment ago, Richard, I think, will agree with me on this one.
SPEAKER 1 :
21.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yeah. He’s a professor that turns out to be the bad guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
I like him so much. Okay, how about this one? Hedley Lamar from Blazing Saddles.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
He was great. Harvey Korman. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Gordon Deco, Wall Street.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yes. Yeah, well, I did that one a minute ago. Greed is good. That’s okay.
SPEAKER 19 :
Greed is good.
SPEAKER 17 :
You did? Okay. Okay, I’ve got two from listeners. I’m going to squeeze these in really quick. Gene Hackman, The Firm, and Wrath of Khan, Ricardo Montalban.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, since we’re doing Gene Hackman, I’ve got to throw in Unforgiven and Quick and the Dead.
SPEAKER 17 :
Did you already do Quick? I did Quick and the Dead.
SPEAKER 19 :
So I’m throwing in Unforgiven.
SPEAKER 17 :
That one counts.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Did we do Christian Bale in American Psycho?
SPEAKER 17 :
No.
SPEAKER 19 :
And Richard throws out another actor who is almost never evil but did a great job at it. Fantastic job. I know. He’s so good. Okay, John, you’re up.
SPEAKER 17 :
If I could spell psycho, it would help.
SPEAKER 19 :
P-S. Yeah, I got it.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, gotcha. Let’s see here. Thanos. Josh Brolin.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, he’s good. Very good. Okay, how about this one? Ernie McCracken played by Bill Murray in Kingpin. Oh, yeah. That one counts. Absolutely. Richard, you’re up. I love the hair.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right. I’m going to go with the good old Sylvester Sloan here, but I’m going to go with Apollo Creed in Rocky.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
And then he became a good guy.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah. I like it. That’s right. That one counts. Go ahead, John. Okay, this one maybe, I still think he’s a bad guy because they’re doing bad things and they do some bad stuff in the movie, although he’s like the main star and you’re always rooting for him. That would be Tom Hardy in Lawless. Yeah, that’s kind of a hard one to… Because he’s a bad guy, but he’s the guy you’re rooting for, but yet he’s still a bad guy. Good bad guy. Right? Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER 19 :
How about Quentin Hapsburg, Naked Gun 2 1⁄2? Here we go.
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t recall seeing your name on the guest list. Nothing to be embarrassed about. I sometimes go by my maiden name. Nice party, Hapsburg. I see a lot of familiar facelifts. Do you gamble, Lieutenant? Every time I order out.
SPEAKER 17 :
That’s a fact, too. Every time I order out.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Let’s see here. Oh, Andy. Scar from Lion King.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes. Good one. Good one. Go ahead, John. Yeah, that counts. How about, and I can’t think of his name, but in The Patriot with Mel Gibson. Oh, yeah. Who’s the bad English dude that’s always after him?
SPEAKER 19 :
I forget, but yeah, good one.
SPEAKER 17 :
You can picture his face and all that. We’ll just call him bad English dude. The bad English dude, right?
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, I’m going to go with one. Bill from Kill Bill.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yeah, good one.
SPEAKER 19 :
Really good. Was that Carradine who played him?
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, it was. Actually, yes.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, Richard, you’re up. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction Indie. Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, if you’re going to go John Travolta, I’m going to go John Travolta only in Face Off.
SPEAKER 19 :
Ooh. But the problem is, who’s the villain? I don’t know. Because they switch back and forth. Okay, here’s one. Kevin Kline as Otto in A Fish Called Wanda. Okay. Richard, have you ever seen A Fish Called Wanda?
SPEAKER 17 :
I have not, no. All right, you’ve got to go quick. Trust me. We’ve got two more. You’re up, Richard.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, my last one will be from Emma. It’s from Frozen. Who is Emma? Okay, she got nervous. Prince Hans from Frozen.
SPEAKER 17 :
Prince Hans. Okay, and I’m going to close off with, because he is a bad guy, Will Smith in Focus. Well done. Okay, we’ll leave it at that. Richard, have a great weekend. We’ll talk to you on Monday.
