Join host John Rush and guest Andy Pate as they dive into the world of politics with a twist of humor, recounting absurd political moves and a few personal anecdotes. This episode unravels the strange statements by political figures and delves into the controversies and boycotts shaking the retail world. With humorous banter, the duo tackles topics like the irony of political boycotts and the comedic aspects of ‘cancel culture’ from both sides of the aisle.
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 Dolly 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 Payton.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think you got the wrong impression about me. I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do.
SPEAKER 14 :
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 05 :
Chief Lane, what do you want to do tonight?
SPEAKER 08 :
The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world. Stick a fork in me, Jerry. I’m done.
SPEAKER 15 :
Now, here is your host of Rush to Reason, John Rush.
SPEAKER 18 :
And I’m your host, Andy Pate, filling in for John Rush today. I’m joined by Luke Cash and Tanner Cole. Man. This is always wonderful. As my wife says, I am the third best-looking guy in this room. It’s incredible. Fourth.
SPEAKER 07 :
Charlie’s through glass. No, he’s in the next room. That’s what she said.
SPEAKER 18 :
She said, by Charlie being in the next room, I am officially moved up to number three. It’s very exciting, you know? It’s very exciting. It sounds very exciting. Yeah, we have a great marriage. Okay, let’s see here. Let’s talk just a little bit. I know it’s movie day. A little bit of news here. Have you heard of Hakeem Jeffries?
SPEAKER 06 :
What? No.
SPEAKER 18 :
He’s the head of the Democrats in the House.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 18 :
So, you know, he’s nobody.
SPEAKER 06 :
I thought you were speaking in tongues for a second.
SPEAKER 18 :
I know. Well, kind of. Yes. Well, he does a lot. Here we go. Hakeem Jeffries was asked about… The governor of California, Newsom, has been making some rather right-wing statements lately because he’s trying to play the middle so he can run in 2020 whatever. So what he said was… They asked him basically, what do you think about Governor Newsom saying basically it was a mistake to let… Boys and girls sports, right? Because they’re in the locker room, they’re competing with them out on the track and whatever. And what Hakeem Jeffries says is, I was against, what we’re worried about is boys, what was it? We are having some real problems here about boys actually… Sexual predators. Yeah, sexual predators threatening young girls. So I need you guys to help me out on this. So by taking boys out of the locker room where girls are changing, they can become sexual predators. Am I missing something here? So basically if, if I’m a young guy, okay. And you say, Hey, Andy, you can no longer go into the shower with the girls. And this makes me into a sexual predator.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 18 :
I was totally safe when I was in the shower.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right.
SPEAKER 18 :
In the locker room while they’re changing. I was totally safe then.
SPEAKER 07 :
But now… I mean, middle school and high school, that’s all I was trying to do was get in the girls’ locker room. They wouldn’t let me in. I know.
SPEAKER 06 :
I know you were. So, lots of change. I feel like you shouldn’t say that on the air.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, I was underage. They were. So, it worked out.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, well, let’s face it.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think that’s… I still think that’s illegal.
SPEAKER 18 :
There’s a lot of teen boys who, let’s say, but most are actually much more moral than Tanner. Okay, so, but he’s saying that basically, so let’s say if a guy is not allowed to beat the living daylights out of a girl in the boxing ring, what does he get bitter and then become a predator threat to women in general? I’m losing, am I missing something here? So getting women, I mean, getting men out of women’s sports turns them into predators, right?
SPEAKER 07 :
Psychology 101, baby.
SPEAKER 18 :
Luke, help me.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t know, man. I’m lost.
SPEAKER 07 :
The best part about Newsom saying that was he was talking with Charlie Kirk, and then Newsom brought up that his son is a fan of Charlie Kirk. So at least he raised his son right.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s incredible. Isn’t that funny? Actually, I saw a lot of it. I thought it was a really good interview. Newsom is actually good at doing this. Yes, he is. Well, he’s a good liar, but I mean, he actually has a good delivery on his show. Okay, here’s another thing. Democrats being weird, they are now going to launch a 40-day boycott of Target.
SPEAKER 07 :
Target was the one that gave them the LGBTQ kids section. I thought conservatives were boycotting Target.
SPEAKER 18 :
No, no, no, no, no, no. That was before. Now Target is backing off their DEI, okay? And so leftists who are upset about the backlash, who are upset about this, are going to give up Target for Lent. Now, first of all, do any leftists believe in Lent? No. Okay, I’m sorry, but that’s a small group. But at least it gives them a period of time. So it’s 40 days. All right. And I guess, let’s see, I’m sure this will be just as effective as, let’s see, they had the Walmart blackout. Remember that from April 7th to the 13th? That’s why there’s no Walmarts anymore. They’re all gone.
SPEAKER 07 :
I noticed this.
SPEAKER 18 :
They vanished.
SPEAKER 07 :
So did the Broncos.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, totally. Because now that Walmart’s gone, we have no Broncos teams. So have you picked a new one? Well, you’re already a Chargers fan. Let’s see here. They also, Amazon blackout. That was March 7th to 14th. And I’ve noticed Amazon is no longer on my computer. It’s very effective. 24-hour spending blackout. February 28th, March 28th, and April 18th. What are they talking like? Total spending?
SPEAKER 07 :
They were talking about, like, don’t buy from big businesses. I saw a bunch of liberals posting it. Don’t buy from big businesses. Like, support local businesses only on that day. And it was like a Friday, so everyone’s probably shopping. Kind of hard to go local.
SPEAKER 18 :
It was incredibly effective. And, you know, I think they should work for Doge.
SPEAKER 06 :
Isn’t it?
SPEAKER 18 :
I mean, if they want a spending blackout. Go ahead, Luke.
SPEAKER 06 :
I was going to say, isn’t it a bit ironic? Isn’t the whole support local businesses thing, like, very conservative? Isn’t that…
SPEAKER 18 :
Generally, yeah. You know, but actually that kind of cuts across the divide, don’t you think, Tanner? I mean, I think most people, I mean, I personally, I have no problem with the national chains. Do you guys shop more of the local stuff or do you like the national chains? I mean, the national chains are cheaper. Yeah. Are they?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I mean, I’d prefer to shop locally, just like on principle, but it’s hard when money’s tight.
SPEAKER 07 :
Definitely, especially with like food products they have to upcharge because they don’t have as much as supply.
SPEAKER 18 :
Why do you hate small business? I want to know with both of you. What is it?
SPEAKER 06 :
Because I hate people, and I don’t want them to succeed.
SPEAKER 18 :
Do you guys feel more predatory now that men are out of women’s sports? Let’s get back to that. I just, you know, you’re young men. Do you feel more predatory in general? I mean, is this going to turn you into evil people? No? No.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, no, I hope not.
SPEAKER 18 :
I’m sorry, but I still can’t get that one out of my head.
SPEAKER 07 :
My mouth was open for 20 seconds trying to think of a reason for that guy to say that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, I’m sorry we had problems with the sound here. Luke is working on that right now.
SPEAKER 07 :
We’re troubleshooting.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, thank you so much. That’s going to be important in our number two. When we talk about, what are we going to talk about?
SPEAKER 07 :
Short. People. Short people in movies.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, and that’s going to be in honor of Zelensky.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, he was the star of the show last week, Little Man vs. Big Boys. Yeah. And he got his teeth kicked in and is now fighting just to get back in the Oval Office.
SPEAKER 18 :
You know, I didn’t watch closely. Was he in a high chair?
SPEAKER 07 :
I thought so. The memes have been great.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, there have been a lot of good ones. Well, you know, today only we can pick on short people because of Zelensky. And I had permission to do this from my wife, who is 5’1″. It’s fun. She skitters across the floor at home, you know.
SPEAKER 07 :
She’s got one of those ice skating backpacks she rolls on around.
SPEAKER 18 :
She does. Now, this is real. Whenever I go to the store, I can’t find her. Okay. You know, like when you go to these clothing places and they got all the racks that are, you know, almost up to eye level. And if I were to go with you, I could see you anywhere you were. Let’s say you go to Walmart and you’re in that menswear section or whatever. With my wife, I have absolutely no clue where she is.
SPEAKER 07 :
Got to go in the intercom.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, yes, exactly. A little girl is lost, lost in aisle five. So anyway, we’re going to be having fun. If you have any ideas in honor of Zelensky in the second hour, 303-477-5600, and if If you call in with any movie characters or actors, but if you call in with any short ones who are also angry, that’s extra points.
SPEAKER 07 :
Bonus, yeah.
SPEAKER 18 :
Just so you know. All right. Anyway, let’s take a break. Well, before we do, I don’t think the spending thing is going to hurt Target to you.
SPEAKER 07 :
People just repost and then don’t even do anything. It’s ridiculous.
SPEAKER 18 :
I don’t think anybody cares.
SPEAKER 07 :
No.
SPEAKER 18 :
What, because Target’s not liberal enough?
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, all these companies.
SPEAKER 18 :
They are very liberal.
SPEAKER 07 :
All these big companies went left for you, and then they saw the backlash from conservatives. Yes. And then even liberals and independents who didn’t agree with the LGBTQ stuff. And then now they’re switching back. I mean, look at Bud Light. Those guys are still in shambles.
SPEAKER 18 :
They are in shambles. Well, now Target has even said, and this is what I don’t understand. They said, we’re getting rid of DEI. However, we’re still going to hire based on merit. Yeah. Oh, no. We’re going to factor in race and gender and these things for hiring. And yet they say they’re getting rid of DEI. I don’t think they understand the whole concept.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t think so either.
SPEAKER 18 :
No, they’re too liberal.
SPEAKER 07 :
They probably think DEI is like a government agency or something.
SPEAKER 18 :
I think they do. I think they do. Which means Trump’s going to throw it out. All right, let’s take a break here. When we come back, we’ve got movie reviews. Are you ready, gentlemen?

SPEAKER 18 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate. Filling in for John Rush along with Tanner Cole. Man. And Luke Cash. Man. Okay, Tanner, buddy, got a question for you.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, what’s up?
SPEAKER 18 :
Are you ready for a movie? I’m ready for a movie. All right, Tanner. I got another question for you. How many lives does it take to save mankind?
SPEAKER 07 :
You probably never… Oh, I’ve thought about this. There’s one, and he’s in the White House right now. Oh, okay. Big old Donald.
SPEAKER 18 :
That was good. That was good. That was very quick. Well, there’s another way to do it, and let’s find out in Mickey 17.
SPEAKER 09 :
almost every single one of you will be remembered throughout history they made me work my ass off giving me one mission after another you’re an expendable you’re here to be expended every time i died they just printed me out again everyone asks what’s it feel like to die
SPEAKER 10 :
This ship was filled with mostly dickheads. But Nasha, she’s always loved me. That’s when everything changed.
SPEAKER 1 :
We’re multiples.
SPEAKER 09 :
In the case of multiples, we exterminate every individual. Which body goes first? One at a time is twice the fun.
SPEAKER 12 :
You don’t look like you’re printed out. You’re just a person.
SPEAKER 10 :
This is a fight to the death.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, in this, does that sound fun?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I’ve seen a few trailers for this. It looks good.
SPEAKER 18 :
I have been looking forward to this movie. Okay, in this futuristic thriller, Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson, I like him. He stars as Mickey Barnes, a guy heavy in debt and running from mobsters. Mickey escapes the ice planet of, it’s hard to say this, Nephilim? Anyway, with his friend Timo. But how should he make a living once he’s there? OK, once again, he needs money. He’s running from mobsters. He is at the end of his rope. What’s he going to do? How does he make a living? How about dying? All right. So Mickey signs up to be a thing called an expendable. What’s that? Well, cloning has been made illegal unless you’re part of this program where they clone you in space. Just because. I guess it’s okay in space. Well, it seems mankind wants to colonize Nephilim because, you know, we always want to colonize. We’re kind of into that. And along the way, we want to test every environment and poison with a human test subject. Guess who? Mickey. It’s awful work, but dying is a living, right? As Mickey goes through lives gaining data, his only comfort is Nasha. She’s played by Naomi Ackie, and she’s a brilliant soldier and Mickey’s girlfriend. There are plenty of side characters. You’ve got Mark Ruffalo. He’s playing a moronic and corrupt politician who, along with his power-hungry wife, Toni Collette, leads the mission. So we get kind of an Avatar feel. Avatar meets Edge of Tomorrow, meets Hunger Games. Okay, then. You get the feel for it, right? On Nephilim, Mickey encounters natives, and darned if they don’t want to be conquered. I mean, what a shocker, right? They’re gruesome, but they might have some good in them. Maybe, maybe not. Can Mickey save mankind? Should he? And just how many Mickeys are there? That’s the story of Mickey 17. What do you think, Tanner?
SPEAKER 07 :
Sounds like it could be fun. Yeah. Sounded like there was some good music, some good actors. I’ve been excited for it.
SPEAKER 18 :
Some very good actors. Well, the look of it, just, I’ll be honest, this is a movie I’ve been looking forward to for a few months. So here we go. What works in Mickey 17? First of all, you have a spectacular look. It’s like you’re combining Dune, Minority Report, Blade Runner. You’re kind of mashing them all together. That sounds very cool because they were all cool looking movies. You have a lot of gray, but in cool ways. Does that make sense?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. Robert Pattinson is great again. In fact, this is one of his best performances. He is a tremendous actor.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I really like him.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, he basically nails it every time. And he gives each Mickey a unique personality. I like that. There are impressive CGI effects. You can tell they spent quite a bit of money on this. on the look of this movie, along with sad, scary deaths for Mickey, which is tough to watch. OK, he’s going to die from this. He’s going to die from this. I mean, they’re literally testing things on him or sending him into terrible environments where, of course, he can die and they can learn how to go into those environments again. He is, you ever watch the old Star Trek show with Kirk, Spock, them? Okay, then you wouldn’t know this. They would always send a guy down to the planet first. The security guy is wearing the red shirts. You were doomed. You were going to die if you were in a red shirt. You always were going to die first. Futurama, the cartoon, made fun of this. And just nobody wanted to wear a red shirt with Kirk. Well, anyway, that is Mickey. It’s not a good life. And one other thing that works in Mickey 17, the first half has a nice pace. It’s got a really good story for the first half. It’s really kind of cooking along. What doesn’t work in Mickey 17? Far too long at two hours and 17 minutes. Now that can work if you got the story to support it. They did not. The story wasn’t good enough to carry that runtime. This thing definitely needed to be edited. I think the editor was the first one they sent down to the plant.
SPEAKER 06 :
That was the first guy, huh?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, he was the first guy to go. And Mickey One was the editor. He didn’t last long. Here’s a big problem. It’s preachy. It’s hyper-woke. It’s led exclusively by evil white people. And mankind colonizes and abuses. The corrupt leader’s followers wear red hats and talk like a cult. Tanner, who are they making fun of?
SPEAKER 07 :
Handmaid’s Tale.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, red hats.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yeah, MAGA. Sorry. Yeah, exactly. I own one, too. I shouldn’t own that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, I know. You would have been in row three in this movie when he’s speaking. Seriously, red hats, and they talk like they’re part of a religious cult. It’s just, yikes. Okay, thankfully, there is a black woman and a lesbian to help Mickey in his mission, okay? Because that’s what you need. Once again, I don’t care, folks, but, you know, they’re just doing the imagery, the woke imagery. And, of course, Christian fanaticism rules the villains. Got to pour it on, right? Us terrible Christians. We’re coming to get you, and man, oh man, if we can go to another planet and go after colonizing and wiping out whatever’s there, we’re down for that.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s why we’re going to Mars.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, Jesus was big on that. He always wanted us to go and clobber species on other planets. It’s in the Greek. I’ll explain it to you later. Okay, let’s see here. The performances of Ruffalo and Colette. This surprised me. They’re two fine actors. They were flat out embarrassing. They were over the top. They were stupid. Colette wasn’t as bad. Ruffalo was awful.
SPEAKER 07 :
I love Colette. I think she’s great.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, I do, too. But this was just kind of like, you know, I mean, don’t get me wrong. A lot of these futuristic movies, you have very exaggerated characters. I get that. But I just wasn’t buying it. It just wasn’t. It wasn’t entertaining. And also you would have a lot of scenes where they were drawing it out and being ridiculous. That went long. And you’re just kind of like, OK, come on, wrap it up, wrap it up, wrap it up. But worst of all was the pace after Midway. Oh, my gosh. The story slowed to a crawl. after Midway. It really did. And it was just getting into more preaching and wokeism and stuff like this, but that’s okay. I didn’t care because I’d lost interest and basically things were happening on the screen and I just wanted to get away. This was boring. I was really bored. I mean, I mentally checked out at about two thirds of the way through. I was just like, I was, I was struggling. I was really struggling. In the end, this is left-wing propaganda wrapped up in big style and a boring story. And that is Mickey 17. Bummer.
SPEAKER 06 :
I was looking forward to it.
SPEAKER 18 :
I know. Well, the first half’s good. You know, after that, it gets just kind of… I mean, don’t get me wrong. It has moments throughout. It has moments throughout because this is impressive to look at. I just love sci-fi. I really do. Right. These kinds of sci-fi. But, oh, man, pick it up. OK, Rotten Tomatoes. And this is interesting. They gave it 81 percent, but it started off. It was like at 95 percent. And this was all the initial reviews that came out. And then everyone that came out afterward, and a lot of times the ones that come in later are the more honest ones. A lot of the earlier ones, I don’t know if they want to get good with the producers or the studios. But it went from 95, 94, 92, 89, 87, 85, 83, down to 81. You could kind of understand it was drifting down. But still, that’s four-star territory. No, no way. Quality two stars. This is simply not entertaining enough. I love the concept. I love Robert Pattinson. I love some of the acting, but no, this was boring.
SPEAKER 07 :
Do you say Rotten Tomatoes at 81? Yes. Now down to 79. So it kept dropping.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, this is a funny thing because this had a lot of initial reviews that came out. And like I said, this thing was up around 96. Okay. Now it’s at 79. And falling. Well, I don’t think it’ll fall much further, but the later ones are usually the more honest ones. And I don’t mean because they’re usually meaner. Sometimes the later ones are nicer and they bring a film up and you go to the film and you’re like, hey, that wasn’t so bad. Right. This was not a very good film. I’m not saying it was terrible. I’m giving it two out of five. But was it worth watching? No. OK, political one star. I’m probably being nice there. I probably could have gone lower, but it’s not like they harp on politics and political commentary all through the movie. They don’t. Okay. A lot of it is just imagery. And, you know, the bad guys have to be white and the, you know, the good guys. It’s just after a while, it just gets old. But also the red hats. I couldn’t get over the red hats and the Jesus talk. Okay. It was just ick. Political one, more religious one. So if you are a conservative Christian, you know, that doesn’t mean we can’t go to liberal movies. I do it. Sometimes you just turn off that side of the brain. You just say, hey, entertain me. I’m good. I’m here to have fun, not for social commentary. But… Understand this. If you’re a conservative Christian, they don’t like you. OK, the people who made this and you will have that in your face. I just want to warn you. But the biggest problem is this. After Midway, this movie is too long, too boring, too preachy and ultimately not that well acted. Mickey 17. Do I recommend going to Mickey 17? I’m afraid I don’t, folks, which is really hard to say because it’s that time of year. I thought we needed a blockbuster. We didn’t get it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Same guy who did Parasite.
SPEAKER 18 :
I know, and Parasite’s great! Okay, so… But this happens. You’ll have these directors who do a great movie, right? And then they come out and do another one that’s got this big budget, and it bombs. I don’t know that this will bomb. I think it’ll have a pretty good week one, but after that, I don’t think it’ll do anything. Okay, let’s take a break. Got another movie after that. Up next is… What is up next? Veteran Windows and Doors. Hey, did you know different windows and doors have totally different values and ratings?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, most people don’t. Why? Because places just slap them in. For the right windows and doors for your home, call Veteran at 303-529-0720.
SPEAKER 16 :
Veteran Windows and Doors never uses sales reps who are only trained to close the deal. You will work with the owner, Dave Bancroft, and he knows windows are very prescriptive, meaning each home is unique in where it is in elevation and whether the windows face the sun or not. That’s why Dave makes sure you understand every value and rating for your windows so you don’t pay extra for windows that you don’t need. And every window manufacturer advises against using gas-filled windows at or above 4,000 feet. Other companies will say they have the highest quality and rated windows, yet they still use the wrong products like gas-filled windows at the wrong elevations. Those windows will eventually fail. Don’t sign anything until you have met with Dave. Even if you have signed a contract with another company, it may not be too late if the windows don’t meet code or Energy Star criteria for Colorado. Veteran windows and doors will give you 40% off when buying five or more windows and free installation. Find them at klzradio.com today.

SPEAKER 18 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush. KLZ 560. Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Luke Cash. Man. And Tanner Cole. Man. And Luke. What a wuss. Okay, we got to fix that. Otherwise, I’m going to go all the way up to number two for most handsome man in the room. Man. Thank you. I’m back to three. Okay. Luke. Yeah. Buddy.
SPEAKER 06 :
What’s going on?
SPEAKER 18 :
Are you ready for a movie?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. I don’t know. These ones have been kind of stinkers. I don’t know if I want to be too excited. I’ve been burned a couple times. Mickey was bad. I mean, well.
SPEAKER 18 :
You’ve been burned before. I’ve been burned before.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t want to commit that much enthusiasm.
SPEAKER 18 :
You’re not sure if you want to put yourself out there. Yeah. I’m scared now.
SPEAKER 06 :
You’re scared. You give me a good movie, I’ll come back with more enthusiasm. Okay.
SPEAKER 18 :
I’ll do my best. All right. Let me ask you this. Would you help someone become a werewolf if they said, I want to be a werewolf?
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, if they asked nicely or paid me.
SPEAKER 18 :
It just seems like a bad career choice.
SPEAKER 07 :
Really? I do it for cash. Do you mean a werewolf or a furry?
SPEAKER 18 :
They want to be a werewolf. What’s the difference? They can go back and forth. They can transition when the moon comes.
SPEAKER 07 :
I love transitioning.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, you know, that’s big nowadays.
SPEAKER 06 :
Everybody wants to transition. I’d do it for a Big Mac and five bucks.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, you would. I’ve seen you with Big Macs. Okay. Well, you might help someone become a werewolf in The Lost Lands.
SPEAKER 04 :
If you’ve got the time in the stomach for it, I’ve got a story for you. The world you know is gone. Consumed by the flames of a great war long ago. All that’s left now are the Lost Lands. I’m looking for a guide. Someone who knows the Lost Lands. Why are you gonna leave the city? Treasure. Immense power. Friends of yours? I don’t have many friends. Me neither.
SPEAKER 10 :
Find them.
SPEAKER 04 :
Outside these walls, laws of nature, they don’t apply.
SPEAKER 1 :
It won’t be easy.
SPEAKER 18 :
Here they come, Luke. What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
Sounds like someone really spent, like, 50 bucks for the generic, like, Universal Productions audio. Like, I’m sure I’ve heard this in our library before.
SPEAKER 18 :
No, this is totally new and cutting edge. All right. Films like In the Lost Lands, these are guilty pleasures, okay? I mean, you ever watch Resident Evil or Underworld, stuff like that?
SPEAKER 07 :
Director or someone that was involved in Resident Evil that was a part of this movie.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, Paul W. Anderson, same director, same star, actually. Mila Jovovich, who, by the way, is his wife. But these are dumb movies, and I like them. I watch Resident Evil movies because, well, you know, it’s embarrassing. That’s why I’m number three in this room.
SPEAKER 06 :
Are the residents, are they evil?
SPEAKER 18 :
yes whoa well they’re they’re zombies okay it’s zombie movies wow you haven’t seen these no okay have you tanner no oh wow i’m the only one well they’re kind of fun all right all right well here we go there but director paul w anderson he makes a lot of these kinds of movies these guilty pleasures where you’re watching this thinking this is really stupid but i’m having fun i don’t care They’re cool looking, they’re shallow, they have crazy fights and video game action, all this stuff. Well, Mila Jovovich, once again, she stars as Gray Alice, a witch warrior in a post-apocalyptic world. Now, this is, of course, totally different from Jovovich’s Resident Evil character, who is named Alice and is a super-powered warrior in a post-apocalyptic world.
SPEAKER 06 :
Very different.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, very different. Totally different.
SPEAKER 06 :
Got it.
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s the same character, guys. I mean, practically the same person. I think she can do it. You know, Jovovich is actually a fine actress who has done a lot of good stuff.
SPEAKER 07 :
She just can’t get away from her husband, apparently.
SPEAKER 18 :
Apparently not. Well, anyway, Grey, she’s on the run from pseudo-Christian zealots. Boy, we’ve got a lot of that going on today. Wanting to kill her. And she also has a tough job. She grants wishes. Basically, if someone asks, Grey has to provide. Well, that’s pretty tough. Yeah. But now, Queen Melange. Queen Melange. She has a new request. Make me into a werewolf. She has her own reasons. Whatever. If you’re into that. You do you. You do you. Okay. Well, the problem is Grey’s a witch, not a genie. She can’t do everything. So she must track and kill a werewolf. Right? She’s got to bring back aspects of the werewolf in order to bring its secrets back for the queen. Got that? You following me so far?
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m tracking.
SPEAKER 18 :
You’re tracking. All right. Well, to aid in her quest, Gray hires a great tracker, a bounty hunter named Boyce, played by Dave Bautista. Great actor. I mean, right up there with De Niro. I’m telling you.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m kidding. He’s not even a real actor. Okay. He’s like Danny Trevejo or whatever his name is.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes. Trejo. Yeah. Okay. Well, together, by the way, we’re doing short actors next hour. Danny Trejo is only 5’6″.
SPEAKER 07 :
Really? Yeah. He’s always portrayed as this big bad boy. I know. He looks so big.
SPEAKER 18 :
All right. Getting back to this movie because this is very important. Let’s see here. Together, they’re going to get that werewolf.
SPEAKER 06 :
Got to get it.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, maybe they’ll buy him like Greenland. I have no idea. Boyce knows the Lost Lands. Okay, so he knows the Lost Lands, which are everything outside the city. What’s happened is in this post-apocalyptic world where you’ve had a lot of nukes go off, right? By the way, there was a great scene where you see just the remnants of all the windmills.
SPEAKER 07 :
I saw that in the preview. That was kind of cool.
SPEAKER 18 :
Any movie that destroys windmills is my kind of movie, just so you know. Well, the Lost Lands are everything outside the one city where basically mankind still lives. Everything else outside of it has been, for the most part, destroyed. Boyce knows the Lost Lands, so he’s going to guide her. Along the way, they’re fleeing religious zealots who are in a locomotive. And they’re trying to get away from them. Maybe they should, I don’t know, stay away from the tracks. Just a thought.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, easy, I feel.
SPEAKER 18 :
Tracks go straight. I know. If you want to get away from them, turn left or right. I’m just spitballing here, but I think it’s a good idea. And there are also nuclear fallout zombies. Yeah, baby. Nuclear fallout zombies. This is very important.
SPEAKER 06 :
Because famously, when you get nuked, you turn into a zombie. Yeah. And that’s how that works.
SPEAKER 18 :
It is cool, though. I like nuclear fallout zombies. I dated one. All right. Back to the day. Look, I was young, okay? I didn’t know what was great and what was good. I’ve really dated up since then. Danger and scandal are everywhere. So can these two work together and save the day? That’s the question. Luke, what do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
I fell asleep, I think, halfway through.
SPEAKER 18 :
You did? Yeah. Yeah, me too. What works in The Lost Lands? Well, first of all, Jovovich, she excels at this type of sci-fi action role. Same as Alice in Resident Evil. And by the way, you guys need to watch the first Resident Evil. You now have homework. It’s very good. It’s fun. It is. It’s very… Am I right? See, look, Charlie, he’s nodding his head. Resident Evil is very cool.
SPEAKER 06 :
The 2002 Resident Evil?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes. The second one is not good. The third and fourth are actually pretty good.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 18 :
Charlie agrees with me. Okay, well, Mila Jovovich, she excels at this kind of role. She really does. I like her. She does the action role. She’s also, this is a lady who’s 50 years old, very fit, very athletic, keeps herself in great shape, and knows how to do all the fight scenes. She’s actually good at it. She’s not like one of these actresses who you just put into an action role. She’s natural. Next, Bautista also excels at playing a big action guy. Everyone’s typecast. All right? That’s what he does. Big muscle-bound action guy. The look is interesting. There’s a lot of orange lighting. I don’t know if you noticed on the preview. Yeah. So, you know, they give it this kind of cool, otherworldly look. And that’s it. That’s pretty much all that works in The Lost Lands. What doesn’t work in The Lost Lands? First, why add in at the beginning? Why not just call it The Lost Lands?
SPEAKER 07 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. I’ve seen better acting in school plays.
SPEAKER 07 :
Middle school.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes. There is literally no chemistry between Jovovich and Batista, which is bad because they’re on the screen together for almost the entire movie. And there’s no chemistry. I mean, there’s just two people saying lines. And I want you to understand how all the lines are delivered in this movie. So I need both of you to help me out here really quick here. Okay. So we’re going to do a quick play. Luke, I need you to say this like this. Just deadpan. I am fine.
SPEAKER 06 :
I am fine.
SPEAKER 18 :
I am fine.
SPEAKER 06 :
I am fine.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. And Tanner, I need you to say that is good.
SPEAKER 07 :
That is good.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. Now I’m going to give everybody an idea of the dialogue in this movie and the speed of it. Okay, I’ll go first, then Luke. You know your line. You know your line. Don’t speak until I point to you. How are you? I am… No! Hold! No! Hold!
SPEAKER 06 :
I saw your arm.
SPEAKER 18 :
Haven’t you ever seen… Okay, let’s try this one.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right, one more time, one more time. We got it. I’m locking in.
SPEAKER 18 :
How are you?
SPEAKER 06 :
Hold. Hold. I am fine. Hold. Hold. Hold!
SPEAKER 07 :
That is good.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes! Wow. Okay, it was incredible. It was incredible. There were huge gaps between almost all the lines in this movie. I had no idea why. And they were trying to make each one melodramatic and important. And I’m just like, say it. Please. What is that movie, Zootopia, where you’ve got the DMV sloths? Yeah, that’s what it felt like. It felt like I was watching the sloths for the entire movie. Okay, but the action scenes are very similar. Too many slow motion fights. OK, Dave Bautista, you know, is huge, muscular and everything. But I kept thinking in the time this guy throws a punch, I could beat the hell out of him. All right. And I mean, it was it was just like, guys, you’re taking forever to do everything. And besides that, the action was pretty mad. All right. If you watch the action in Resident Evil, trust me, it cooks. Not here. It really doesn’t. Mila, she fought like in Resident Evil, but there was no explanation why. I mean, keep in mind, she’s a witch. She’s not a super ninja fighter. But she was a super ninja fighter, even though she’s a witch. Nobody explains why. I mean, maybe they thought she was a witcher.
SPEAKER 07 :
Did she go to, like, Dagestan or something and learn how to fight?
SPEAKER 18 :
I think she did. I think she did. She learned from a guru. All right. Yet another tired negative depiction of Christians. Look out, we’re coming to get you. I mean, the glorious ending. Seriously, guys, the glorious ending. Yeah, I’m giving it away. I don’t care. It featured corrupt clergy dying and a huge cross being blown up. Oh, come on. Jeez Louise, people. I think they filmed this whole movie in a basement with a green screen. I’ve seen toupees look more real. I’m sorry. I wonder if they made shadow animals on the screen like bunnies. That would have been funny. I mean, the hours must have just flown by on set. It just looked like you were in front of a green screen and they were moving animals. scenery behind you, the entire team. Like, behind you, there was a screensaver.
SPEAKER 07 :
Literally like a middle school play where they’re rolling out the props.
SPEAKER 18 :
I know, while they’re talking like this. How are you?
SPEAKER 06 :
I am fine.
SPEAKER 07 :
That is good.
SPEAKER 18 :
There you go. Exactly.
SPEAKER 07 :
This reminds me of The Room, but not funny because it’s so bad.
SPEAKER 18 :
It was bad. Frankly, this was a terribly boring movie. I struggled to stay focused. Okay, with movies like this, Maybe Trump shouldn’t stop the drug trade. We may need some of that stuff to get us through this. I wasn’t sure if I could do it the natural way. I did. I made it. This was tough. There were claw marks all over the auditorium doors as people tried to get out. Rotten Tomatoes, they actually agreed with me. And this is the funny thing. You got a movie that beats up Christians, right? You would think all the Christian-hating reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes, which literally is over 90% of them, you would think that alone would beef it up to 40, 50%, right?
SPEAKER 1 :
16.
SPEAKER 18 :
Sweet 16, baby. That’s pretty bad. They hated this movie. I hate this movie. Quality, one half star for In the Lost Lands. This was pure pain. Start to finish. Political, two. More religious, one. I have no idea why they made this movie. They have no idea why they made this movie. And Dave Bautista, dude. Learn to act. Do something.
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, I thought he was decent in that Glass Onion movie. He was okay. He played the same role he plays every time. Big, buff guy.
SPEAKER 18 :
He played him.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, basically.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, it just wasn’t working.
SPEAKER 07 :
What’s funny about this movie is for the budget, they list it at $55 million plus. They don’t even tell you roughly what the number is. What’d they spend it on? Exactly. Her makeup? Renting out the basement for three years. I have no idea. The basement of Paramount or something?
SPEAKER 18 :
Dude, we made a movie in our basement. It’s so cool.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think it was all team building dinners. They all went out on like, you know, retreats for the film crew.
SPEAKER 18 :
Exactly. Guys, you’re all doing great. What’s…
SPEAKER 07 :
Smells like a tax write-off. Box office currently sits at $100,000.
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s rocking, baby. Okay, folks, do I recommend, this is obvious, do I recommend going to In the Lost Lands? No, I would actually recommend going to the other movie, Mickey 17, over this. I would recommend going to Mickey 17 17 times.
SPEAKER 06 :
I recommend listening to this show over and over and over for the duration of both movies.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. We are more entertaining. Actually, we are more entertaining, especially when we did the lines. I thought that was very. I think we nailed it. Well, you guys, you brought that dramatic heft.
SPEAKER 07 :
I was the constable and fiddler on the roof. Well, there you go. Eighth grade. So, you know, that was the jester in fifth grade.
SPEAKER 18 :
I played a tooth in a school play. A tooth? Yes. I mean, I think all of us really have the chops to excel in a movie like this. I think we do. Maybe Paul W. Anderson is going to give us a call next time. All right. Let’s take a break and get away from this movie because I think a lot of people will also want to get away from In the Lost Lands.

SPEAKER 18 :
Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. I am Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Tanner Cole and Luke Cash. We’re going to be talking about short people in the next hour, which is kind of fun because I’m the short person in here. You guys are both pretty tall. How tall are you?
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m 6’2″, last I checked. Yeah.
SPEAKER 18 :
And you’re 6’2″? How tall are you? Four feet. And, you know, it’s kind of embarrassing. Short king.
SPEAKER 06 :
Short king. Short king. short king so what qualifies as short what’s your because to me anything under six foot short for me but you know 511 is the average height of a man is you know i am 511 short i am average i’m a hair over 511 like 511 511 and a half i think 511 and a half that’s cute
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, it is cute. I am cute. And by the way, I don’t take it poorly when you pat me on the head. I think that’s fine. I want to play a little bit from a guy named Nick Guerra. And he is, let’s hope people can hear this. Sorry, folks. It’s been a weird day technologically.
SPEAKER 06 :
You know what I was thinking? I was thinking, as opposed to playing clips from your computer, let’s print out the script of every clip, and then we’ll table read all the clips.
SPEAKER 18 :
Or we can do it with expressive dance. It won’t be great radio.
SPEAKER 06 :
But it’ll be good for us.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, it’ll be great for us. Okay, here we go. Nick Guerra talking about short people problems, because he’s short.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m alright with it, man. I’m 5’5″, I’m short. Any other short people in here? Yeah, isn’t it great when you’re around other short people? Right, everything makes sense finally, right? Every conversation’s eye to eye, you know? It feels like the Shire got back together, you know what I’m saying? You get four short people together, we just start dancing for no reason. We’re just like, we represent, we kick it. It’s a great time. It’s exciting. It’s tough for short people, right? Short people, we have to have little decorations, tiny Christmas trees, right? All of our pictures are right in the middle of the wall, no higher. We don’t like cabinets. That’s the worst, isn’t it? Cabinets, and we’re cocky enough to throw stuff on the top cabinets, like tuna cans. Oh yeah, I don’t need those for five years, right? You got to pull out every drawer to climb up onto the kitchen counter. And then you’re just stuck up there. You’re just waiting for a real-sized adult to come save you. Help! I only got enough for two sandwiches.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. That was great. I like him. I think he’s pretty funny.
SPEAKER 07 :
He’s pretty funny.
SPEAKER 18 :
He is a little guy, though. He is a little guy.
SPEAKER 07 :
I got a bunch of short king friends, so.
SPEAKER 18 :
Do you? Yeah. Okay. You know, I’ve never known. You always hear that short people are like angry people. Have you seen this? I have not. The ones I know are quite jovial.
SPEAKER 07 :
I know a couple that it’s frightening.
SPEAKER 18 :
The Napoleon complex?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, they start jumping and you can almost see them. eye level at that point and they’re jumping in anger and rage.
SPEAKER 06 :
You can see them? They used to say in high school why short people are so angry. It’s because they’re just that much closer to hell.
SPEAKER 18 :
You know it’s true though. I know. Okay, well, now in the next hour once again we’re going to be doing movies and both either actors or characters who are short.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now, When we say characters… Yes. Do we… How, you know… Like all characters? Because… You know, are we limiting it to like real people? No, all characters. All characters. Good, because I started looking up short actors, and it’s like, this guy’s tiny. He’s 5’9″. I’m like, I feel like that doesn’t really qualify.
SPEAKER 18 :
You know, Tanner, I hate to break this to Luke, but all the characters in movies are not real people. Just so you know, they’re movie characters. The stuff’s written.
SPEAKER 07 :
Ever heard of Tom Cruise? That guy looks like he’s 6’3 in films.
SPEAKER 18 :
I know. And he’s 5’7″? 5’6″.
SPEAKER 07 :
I gave him 5’7″. It says right here he’s 5’6″.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, you made him an inch taller. That’s good.
SPEAKER 06 :
He’ll like you. Tanner’s only 6’1 now. Yeah, I lost. I gave it to him. You gave it to him.
SPEAKER 18 :
Tom Cruise… Is there anybody who’s put out more movies that are just fun to watch? Than Tom Cruise? Yeah. Yes. Me. Okay. Anybody real? Actually, that last director… Luke has left reality. Go ahead there. I’m a character.
SPEAKER 07 :
That last director has put out quite a great set of films. But, I mean, Mission Impossible, there’s like seven of them. Both top guns. I mean, even Collateral, people don’t know about that movie. That’s a great watch. I mean… You go down the line of Tom Cruise movies, it’s hard to find one that’s terrible. Oh, they’re fun, fun.
SPEAKER 18 :
You ever see Jack Reacher?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I love Jack Reacher. Even some of those in the late 90s, I mean, he was fantastic.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, he’s fantastic. I love Tom Cruise. By the way, the last mission is coming out here in a few months.
SPEAKER 06 :
Is it really the last one?
SPEAKER 18 :
I believe so.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right.
SPEAKER 18 :
I think so. Okay, folks, that’s it for our number one. In our two, once again, we’re going to honor Zelensky with short people. If you call in with short, angry people, that’s even better. There’s short movie actors and characters, and, you know, that’s pretty exciting. Until then, keep it right here on Rush to Reason, KLZ 560.
