This is Rush To Reason.
You are gonna shut your damn yapper and listen for a change, because I got you begged, sweetheart. You wanna 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.
With your host, John Rush.
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
Get a job first.
You haven’t made everybody equal.
You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
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 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.
Are you crazy?
Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
It’s Rush To Reason, with your host, John Rush. Presented by Hi5 Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, where every call ends with a high five.
All right, we are back, Rush To Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, Klz560, myself, Andy Pate, Second Hour, Charlie Grimes, of course, your engineer. We’re going to do movies here. We’ll do NFL picks.
Richard and Andy will do that. And I believe Richard’s going to cut things a little short, so Andy and I will then follow up with movies on bots and droids. So meaning we need help from all of you, because I don’t have a long list.
So some of you listening, please text in some things.
Okay.
Because I don’t have a huge… This is not my like, old tour genre of movies that I watch.
No, and I pick a little tougher genres in the fall because we have a shorter period.
Correct. This one is. But for those of you listening, because we’ll not have Richard in the second half of this hour, those of you that want to join in and chime in, you’ll have more than enough time to do so.
So feel free and then also text us some things because I need help.
Okay, can we spend two minutes on something?
We got time.
In the feminist news, now for those who are what, you know, if you’re a feminist woman, they give you some really good advice. And they’re serious about this. How to safely, I love the word, safely leave your conservative husband.
Oh boy.
Why does the left always assume we on the right are violent? It blows my mind when they’re committing virtually, virtually, not all, but virtually all the violence.
I mean, are there some violent people on both sides? Yes, but by and large, do we burn down a city when our candidate doesn’t win? No, no, we do not.
No, are we shooting politicians we don’t like?
No, we do not.
That’s been all them pretty much.
No, we do not. Okay, really quick. Typically, even Andy, most of the mass shootings and things along those lines are not coming from our side either.
No, they’re not. Okay, just a few of these things I want you to comment. First, start saving if you want to safely leave your conservative husband.
Start saving any money you can. Why do they believe that these women have no money?
Good question.
Like conservative husbands keep money from their wives?
That’s not usually the way it is either.
No, it isn’t. Number two, there’s no need to discuss anything with him or his family. Make up your mind and act on it.
Okay, so less communication. That’s a good way to heal and move forward. Next, use his job to your advantage.
Leave while he’s there for the day or night.
Geez.
Next, he can and will attempt to take the children from school. Keep that in mind.
Whatever. It’s nonsense.
Like the woman wouldn’t.
It’s other nonsense.
Look, in a divorce, either side might try to do that. Who knows?
It’s utter nonsense.
Here’s one I don’t get. Use the gray rock method. Do not engage.
I don’t know what that is.
I have no clue what that is. Next, replace electronics he can easily track. Conservative men are tracking electronics.
What do they think? We put collars on them?
I don’t know.
I have no clue.
The dumbest thing ever.
And finally, keep your plan to yourself.
Don’t tell anyone.
Don’t tell anyone.
Okay. That’s it. That’s how you do it.
All right. We’ll be back. Don’t go anywhere.

This is Josh with Business Equipment Service. Here’s a message from one of our satisfied customers. Teresa at the Campion Church said, I have worked with this company for nine years.
They are some of the best people to work with. When I call for service on our copier, they are always looking to get there as soon as they can. One time I had a deadline and my copier was down.
I called them up to see if I could use a copier in their office and they said, come right on over. Duke has personally come and delivered a copier for our use for a few weeks to make high-speed copies. I have enjoyed working with BES and would definitely recommend them.

Putting reason into your afternoon drive.
This is John Rush.
And welcome back to Rush To Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, Klz560. On the line right now, we are joined by Richard Rush. Richard, are you ready for some NFL picks?
Ready from tailgating Andy right now. We’ve got NFL picks, it’s a football weekend.
It’s a football weekend. Okay, let’s start off here. Richard, I know you’re going to be just glued to your screen.
For the New York Giants at the Cleveland Browns. I mean, how could you get more excitement in your life? Cleveland is favored by 6.5.
Yeah, Andy, again, those Giants. We talked about that last week for John and Cheyenne. The Giants, no good.
And I know he’s probably rooting for them to lose every single game this year. Yep. I don’t think he’s going to get that lucky.
And the Browns are probably hoping for their team to lose too because Deshaun Lawson is no good. So yeah, I’m going to go, Andy, with the Cleveland Browns here. And they probably even cover the spread.
I agree. Next game, my Green Bay Packers are on the road at the Tennessee Titans, Tennessee favored by three.
Andy, your Packers surprised me last week, and I know you called it. This will be the Malik Willis revenge game, right? You know, plays, you know, I think at Tennessee, although he’s an upstanding quarterback that way.
I just don’t think Tennessee is that good. I think Will Levis is going to keep making mistakes. I like the Packers.
I like the running game even without, you know, AJ. Dillon, obviously. So I’m going to go with the Packers here, Andy.
And they’re probably going to let me down. And you’re probably going to be upset when I’m picking them because it seems to be the opposite. But I’m going to go Packers.
Oh, my goodness. We’re going to disagree. I, the Packers are really banged up.
Tennessee will stop the run. I think Tennessee takes the game at home. Next game.
Those Chicago Bears are on the road at a team that cannot stop the run at all. The Indianapolis Colts, Colts favored by one.
Andy, what is it with these rookie quarterbacks struggling? All of them are struggling. I mean, Jaden Daniels is only halfway decent.
It’s really only because of his legs. Yeah, Andy, I feel like the Bears, and what’s the spread on this one, Andy?
It’s the Colts by one. It’s a pick them.
The Colts let me down last week against your Packers, Andy. I’ve got to say, you know what, Andy? I’m going to go with the Bears on the road for Caleb Williams to get his first, well, I guess not first when they won there, but a good road test.
The Colts are going to be up and down. Anthony Richardson is going to be tested this year. And the Bears’ defense isn’t too bad, Andy, but I’ll go with the Bears just as a pick them.
Man, I have no idea. I’m going to go with the Colts then, just so we’re different. The next game, good game.
The Texans are on the road at the Vikings. Houston favored by two. Both teams are 2-0.
They are, Andy. Vikings surprising this year. You see Darnold, that offense, Kevin O’Donnell, or yeah, just doing a really good job actually.
But the Texans, man, I think again, they’re going to keep it in their stride. I think they’re going to have a few weeks into their young team. You saw they didn’t struggle too much with the Bears last week, but they’re going to have their ups and downs.
I’m going to take the Vikings here, Andy, at home. I think Darnold will stay hot and I think that that team will stay hot overall.
I’m agreeing with you. I’m taking the Vikings next game. The Eagles are on the road at the Saints.
That’s the Saints. Oh my gosh. Have they stopped scoring yet?
I know the game ended a week ago, but will they ever stop scoring? They are favored by two and a half.
They are on fire. Andy, this is they will stop scoring because they’re going to the teams are going to catch up to them. They will get it.
They will be figured out and I think it’ll they’ll come back to Earth a little bit. But this will not be that week. I think that the Saints will do a tremendous job.
And I think the Eagles are one of those. I’ll just say I think they’re an overrated team, Andy, and they’re struggling this year. They’re just kind of struggling to find their identity.
Are they poorly coached?
I think they’re going to continue to do so.
I think the Eagles are poorly coached.
Well, I think that they were sort of bailed out in their offensive and defensive coordinator over the past few years. And as much as I think Sirianni did a good job initially, I think he’s kind of being found out, Andy. So yeah, I’m going to go with the Saints at home to go to 3-0.
So my, okay, next game, good game. The Chargers are on the road at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh favored by three.
They get the home field, field goal advantage. What do you think?
Andy, I’m going to put a caveat on this. If Herbert plays, I’m going to pick the Chargers. If he doesn’t play, I’ll take the Steelers.
And again, I think the Steelers, after watching them last week, they’re just going to play within themselves as the Mike Tomlin teams do. So I’m going to just put a caveat. If Herbert plays, I think the Chargers will take it.
If not, Steelers.
You know what, and I don’t know, I’m going to bet that Herbert plays and I’ll take the Steelers. So I’ll put us both for the Steelers. I got no idea.
Next game, Broncos are on the road at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who look very tough right now. Tampa Bay favored by almost a touchdown, 6.5.
Yeah, Andy, they are not getting a good draw on defenses. Poor Bo Nix is going through the wringer here with some really strong defenses to start the season. We got the Jets next week.
I don’t think it’s going to get me better. I do think that the Bucs, they’re not as healthy as they obviously were at the start of the season. I think our defense will have some success, but man, Baker is going to pull it out.
I don’t know if the Bucs cover, because I think the Broncos may score late and maybe find a little rhythm, but the Bucs will take this one.
Okay, agreed, I’ll take the Bucs. Next game, the Panthers are on the road at the Raiders Vegas, favored by six.
Yeah, even with the Panthers making a quarterback change, which by the way, Andy, how bad does that mean that Bryce, man, poor Bryce, John. I just think the Raiders, well, again, they’re at home, Minchew is going to keep them in pretty much every game. And this is not a game for the Panthers to get right in.
So I’m going to go with the Raiders at home.
There is no game for the Panthers to get right in. I’m going to take the Raiders as well. Next game, the Dolphins are on the road at the Seahawks.
Seahawks favored by four and a half with the Dolphins. I think they’re without a QB. What do you think?
Yeah, they got no QB, Andy. And so it’ll be though they’re well coached. Mike Medina is a great coach.
He’s gonna do a good job, but they will not. I mean, Seattle has Broncos stand out. It’s a hard place to play on the road.
So I’m gonna go with the Seahawks. They probably even cover. And I feel bad for Miami fans because I think they’re gonna struggle this year without two of them.
Okay, possibly the game of the week. The Baltimore Ravens are on the road at the Dallas Cowboys. Baltimore favored on the road by one.
I don’t know why they’re favored, Andy, to be honest with you. I like, even though the Cowboys struggled last week against the Saints, Baltimore struggling and I think that they’re, well, for a variety of reasons. I like the Cowboys here at home, Andy.
They tend to play well at home and they tend to overcome a lot. So I’m going to go with the Cowboys at home.
I’m taking the Cowboys at home as well. Next game, 49ers are on the road at the Rams who got demolished last week by Arizona. San Fran favored by six and a half.
Neither of these teams is healthy, Andy. I mean, the Rams have got obviously both top receivers out. The 49ers have got pretty much everyone out except for Brandon Iook, it seems.
Right. I don’t know. I mean, I think the 49ers are just a more well-rounded team than the Rams are.
I think the Rams will struggle, although I think this may be a more competitive game than people are giving you the credit for. But I’m going to go with the 49ers here, Andy, just because I think they’re more complete team.
I agree. I’m taking the Niners. Next game, Lions are on the road at those explosive Arizona Cardinals, but Detroit is favored by three.
I’m still not convinced on the Cardinals, Andy. I know they played well last week, and I know Kyler is playing well. But to me, the Lions, and I know they lost last week, but I just think the Lions will figure it out.
They’re a tough, hard-nosed team. I feel like the Cardinals are the opposite of that. They’re more of a finesse team.
So I’m going to go with the Lions here on the road, probably even to cover.
I think the Lions just had their down game last week. They’re going to have their up game this week. I agree with you.
Lions will take this game. Next game, the Chiefs are on the road at the Atlanta Falcons, who got their upset last week. The Chiefs favored by three in Atlanta.
This may be a Sunday night game, right, Andy? This is the Sunday nighter?
Yeah.
This may be a better game than most people think. I think the Chiefs, they’re going to have a down game coming up. I’m going to say that the Falcons, again, Andy, always have blind hope against the Chiefs, right?
That’s just how it works, being a Broncos fan. So I’m going to take the Falcons, even though likely it’s going to be the opposite. I’ll take the Falcons because maybe they found something, maybe they maintain.
Maybe they maintain. It’s a good game, actually. I agree it’s tough, but I’m taking the Chiefs on the road.
Next game, the Jaguars are going into Buffalo to play the Bills, Bills favored by five. By the way, the Jaguars have built a lot of talent, and they got Trevor Lawrence, who was supposed to be all world. It’s just never come together.
What do you think?
Well, and especially going to Buffalo, Andy, the Bills, I think, are just a tough team, and I think the Jaguars are the opposite. Well, here’s one for you, Andy. Bill Belichick as the Jaguars head coach next year.
Ooh, that would be an interest.
Me likey. That was actually brought up, but yeah, there you go. So I’m going to go with the Bills here, Andy.
They’re just a much tougher team than the Jaguars are, and on Monday night, that place is going to be on fire.
I’m going to take the Bills as well. Before we move on, what do you think of that Bills defense? They seem to really be putting it together.
They look fast. McDermott knows how to put together a defense. Yeah.
I’ve always just struggled with his offensive choice for coordinator and such, but I think they’ll figure it out.
Okay. Ugly game. You want to end with an ugly game?
I know I do. The commanders are on the road at the Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals are favored by seven and a half, and they shocked KC last week.
I mean, they shocked them by making it a game. They lost, but they shocked them by making it a game. What do you think of this one?
Do the Bengals win big, or do the commanders come out and have their quarterback run all over?
I think the commanders are going to run all over, Andy. But I think, again, the commanders, I think are a year or two away still. So I think it’s going to be the Bengals.
I think they’re going to start to figure it out. The Bengals are going to be up and down this year. They’re going to scrap to get to the playoffs, and then hopefully by that point in time, they’re playing their best football.
They just feel like a team that’s going to struggle most of the year, and then get better as the year goes on. So all goes to Bengals, but I think it’s a closer game than most people think.
Yeah, I agree. I’m going with the Bengals, but really quick here, ugliest game of the weekend. Commander’s Bengals, Giants Browns.
What do you have for the ugliest game of the weekend?
Yeah. I actually think that Bengals Commander’s game may be exciting, Andy. I think that there may be some big plays.
I think that that Giants Browns game, neither of those teams knows how to do anything deep and-
Yuck.
Yuck. That is the word of the day for that game, Andy. So by far the worst game of the weekend.
Maybe both teams will forfeit. Just a thought.
We would only be so fortunate, Andy.
Okay. There you go, John.
They’re that bad, huh? Yuck.
They’re that bad.
All right, Richard. I’m going to let you go. Have a good rest of your time there.
Thanks. See you.
All right. Sounds great. We’ll be right back.

Now, back to Rush To Reason, presented by Hi5 Plumbing Heating and Cooling, where every call ends with a high five.
All right, we are back. Movies with robots and androids, myself, Andy and Charlie. We’ll need a little help, by the way.
So, if you guys have some suggestions, send them in via text message 307-282-22, or you can call in as well, the studio line 303-477-5600. So, Andy, you’re going to fire us off here?
I am. Bots androids, did you have a hard time with this?
Yes, this is not my, you know.
Forte?
I mean, I like the movies where they’re in it. It’s just not something that, you know, top of my head, I could just roll back in and remember all of the different movies. So, I had to do a little searching.
Okay, well, I’m going to start with the most obvious one, of course. And who can whine and complain better than C-3PO from Star Wars? Here we go.
Are you sure this thing is safe?
How did we get into this mess?
We seem to be made to suffer.
It’s our lot in life.
I’ve got to rest before I fall apart. My joints are almost frozen.
What a desolate place this is.
It’s much too rocky.
I’ve just about had enough of you.
You’ll be malfunctioning within a day, you nearsighted scrap pile.
No more adventures.
That malfunctioning little twerp.
This is all his fault.
Wake up. Wake up.
This never ends.
We’re doomed.
All he did was complain.
Okay, so.
It was kind of funny watching Han Solo react to him.
That was kind of one of the, and I’m sure some of you will correct me, and I’m sure there were older movies with droids and stuff in it, but I don’t think any like that prior to that, was there?
No.
They were sort of the beginnings of that, right?
Yeah. I am a robot, you know, big cheesy looking.
Right.
Thing.
None like that.
Nothing that cool.
Yeah.
I mean, that was a huge advance. I mean, obviously, people are thinking, what? It’s a guy in a suit.
But still.
It was a huge advancement.
Correct.
For droids and movies.
Correct. I mean, just the whole look, the feel, what he did is personality, the whole nine yards, right?
Oh, yeah.
Because it just set things in motion that a lot of the movies we’re going to talk about have come after that.
Right.
Am I right?
Oh, yeah. Well, and after that, after C-3PO, androids were given a lot more personality.
Because originally, a lot of them were. Original Star Wars with that was, I mean, I’m going back in time. Was that like 1980 or something?
Am I thinking correctly, Charlie? Is that about right? For original Star Wars was like 1980, 1979, something 80, something like that?
Yeah, it feels like late 70s.
I’m just going back in time to remember going to the theater and what year that was, but I’m not far off, I don’t think, Andy.
Well, by the way, talk about leaping us forward.
1977.
1977, well, talk about leaping the craft forward.
Okay.
I mean, Star Wars took movie making and just leaped it forward, way forward. We had never seen, not only had we never seen, you know, that kind of special effects, that kind of a space odyssey, but coupled with incredible music, great writing, a fantastic set of characters with great chemistry between them all in one movie. It was amazing what Star Wars did for the entire movie industry, really.
I think that was one of, of course, I wasn’t super old at that point, but I, if I’m not mistaken, that was one of the first movies I ever saw more than once in the theater.
Yeah. You know, there are a lot of movies that come out, well, not a lot, very few, actually, that come out and change the industry. Another one was Saving Private Ryan, what it did for war movies.
Correct. Correct.
War movies have never gone back to being totally, I mean, the comedies are, but to being totally unrealistic ever since.
Correct. No, you’re right. You’re right.
Okay.
Okay. Let’s see here. How about, because this was a good movie, but I don’t think it was ever on the big screen.
I think this was a Netflix or Prime or something, Finch. Finch.
Oh.
Which is all about a robot. In fact, not a lot of characters actually in that movie. That’s a Tom Hanks movie, and I don’t think it was ever on the big screen, but I actually enjoyed it.
It was a little slow, but a good movie. Really good movie, actually. And I think, wasn’t it a COVID movie, if I’m not mistaken, Andy?
Golly, I don’t know.
I think I got to look this up. I think that was a COVID movie, if I’m not mistaken.
Well, I know one thing for sure, John.
September 2021.
Tom Hanks, there’s one thing he’s not capable of doing. He’s not capable of making a movie that John Rush will not watch.
Well, that’s pretty much it.
You watch every single Tom Hanks movie. You hated one.
The lady, the one.
Yeah, Lady Killer was awful.
Other than that, they’re all good. That one was awful. All right, John and Cheyenne, you’re next.
Go ahead.
All right, let’s go in the way back machine to those robots that Andy was just badmouthing. Forbidden Planet with Robbie the Robot.
Yeah. Oh, that was so corny.
Oh, but you know, for the time it was made, it was actually pretty cutting edge.
It was. For the time it was made, it actually was. It’s just wild watching it nowadays, watching those movies and watching some guy walk robotically in a robot.
Robbie the Robot? Yeah. That one I don’t know anything about.
Look up the movie Forbidden Planet.
I don’t remember it at all. I saw it as a kid, but I don’t remember it at all.
Yeah.
Okay.
It was one of those Saturday afternoon movies. If you weren’t getting a horror movie, you got a bad sci-fi.
Okay.
And then how about the greatest Android to ever grace the screen, Andy, and that would be Data in the Star Trek, the Next Generation movies.
Oh yeah. Data was great. You know, my favorite and also Next Generation TV show, my favorite was when, and it’s Brent Spiner is the actor, when he would do, who’s the great detective?
Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes.
Oh, he was good.
One of the greatest episodes, and I know we’re killing time. You’re fine. Was from the second season, when they wanted to take Data apart, and Picard had to prove he was a life form.
Yeah, that was great.
That was, you know, because that was a classic line when he looked at the, and said how many of them before they become a race and they’re slaves. And you’re like, wow, think about it. But the other robot that I really liked from the Star Wars, not C-3PO, it was the robot in Rogue One.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was, you know, because he was reprogrammed to be a good guy. And I thought he was a great character.
I don’t know who played him, but those are the Was that the K?
I think that was K2SO. And yeah, just really cool.
Yeah.
That’s talking about sci-fi movies that are underrated. I thought Rogue One was an underrated Star Wars story.
It was good. I didn’t love Rogue One, but I liked it.
It was a good movie.
Yeah. I liked it better than the Han Solo one.
So Alan Tudyk, how do you pronounce it? Tudyk?
Oh, okay. Okay.
It was the guy’s name that played that.
Yeah. And I liked Solo. I liked Solo, but no.
I think Rogue One is a little better.
I agree. Yeah. I don’t know.
Robot movies are tough. You could say-
That’s a tough one.
I’ll go one more. The remake of Lost in Space, where they did have the robot.
Yes.
The movie version.
Which, by the way, the remake of Lost in Space, the movie version, was not that bad of a movie. I thought it was pretty good.
It was okay. I just thought the original robot from the TV series was way better.
Oh, yeah.
Classic.
All right. You guys have a great weekend.
Very cool. You too, John. Thank you, by the way.
Appreciate that very much.
Yeah, the robot from the original, when he’d go, Danger, Will Robinson, Danger. I just loved it.
Okay.
I couldn’t get enough. Okay. Shall we get to the best one?
Yes.
Obviously. Here we go.
Honey, are you okay?
I’m right here. I’m fine.
Are you sure?
Are you sure you’re all right?
What’s the dog’s name?
Max.
Hey, Janelle.
What’s wrong with Wolfie?
I can hear him barking.
Is he okay?
Wolfie’s fine, honey.
Wolfie’s just fine. What are you?
Your foster parents are dead.
Your foster parents are dead. He just tells him that.
Your foster parents are dead.
Because he was impersonating the kid on the phone.
Right.
Oh, T2, Terminator, Arnie.
Good movie.
Great movie.
Yeah. The way that the CGI, the way they made that guy melt and then come back, and then all the other stuff, just amazing.
It was the second movie where they had used that effect. The first one was The Abyss, where they used it with water. Remember that?
Yeah. They stood that with metal instead. Right.
No, that was a good movie. One of the best of all times.
Okay. You’re up.
As we know, of course. How about Ex Machina?
Ooh, that’s a good one.
Pretty good movie.
That’s a, I thought it was a great movie.
I haven’t seen it for a long time.
No, no, no. It wasn’t a great movie. It was, I thought, a terrific performance.
Decent movie, yeah.
Yeah, decent movie. Okay. Well, here we go.
Here’s somebody having to explain some robots.
Vanessa, I can explain. See, what happened was I broke in trying to get to Dr. Evil. Then all of a sudden the Fembox came by and smoke started to come out of the jumblies.
So I thought I’d work my mojo, right? To counter their mojo. We got cross-mojinations and the head started exploding.
You know, that thing. And I ended up in my knickers here and then…
I forgot about that.
I’ll get dressed.
I forgot about that. Good one, Andy.
He had to be so sexy, the Fembox couldn’t resist him.
Good one, Andy.
Austin Powers.
I had forgot that. Good one. Good one.
You got me. Good one. All right.
Let’s go. I’ll do mine in a second. David, go ahead.
Okay. So you guys, I just tuned in. I was busy in the studio.
And I don’t know if you guys did this one, but I’m just going to give a clue. Klaitu Barada Nikto.
Oh, oh, oh, Klaitu Barada Nikto. Um, don’t don’t tell me. Don’t tell me.
Wait, that’s Army of Darkness?
No, no. Well, it might have been an Army of Darkness, but it originated in it. It originated in another movie, another classic sci-fi robot movie, or at least the robot was a major player in the movie.
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Oh, yeah, that’s on there.
Okay.
Good one.
But yes, it was used in Army of Darkness.
Yes.
Did you ever see Army of Darkness with Bruce Campbell?
Oh, I saw the whole series. It was so wonderful.
It was hilarious. I laughed myself sick at it. My wife hates that movie, by the way.
You know, it’s really been a strain on the marriage.
Great. Great show, guys.
Thank you, David.
Appreciate you very much. As always, I appreciate it. Chappie.
Ah, Chappie.
Chappie.
He was the robot.
Yeah. I didn’t think it was very good.
Yeah, it’s fair.
You know, since your son’s not here, can I cheat and do a TV show?
Of course.
OK. Futurama with Bender. And here’s a little bit of Bender the robot.
He’s obnoxious.
You know, it always cheers me up laughing at other people’s misfortunes.
Do you think you could be just a little less evil than that?
I don’t know.
You think you could survive a 700 foot fall?
Doesn’t it bother you even a little to be taking advantage of your girlfriend’s trust?
Oh, wait, you serious?
Let me laugh even harder.
Bender is so evil.
It’s funny. That’s a show I’ve never seen.
Yeah, well, it was made by the people who did The Simpsons.
Okay.
And it has some very classic characters and just some absolutely hysterical episodes. But there you go. Bender from Futurama.
Good movie. I actually liked it. It was kind of a cute movie, but Real Steel.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, I enjoyed that movie.
That was a cute movie. I like it.
Joe’s next. Go ahead, Joe.
All right, this could be a little controversial because Howe from Space Odyssey 2000, now it controlled, it had all right, it could control everything in the ship. So was it a robot or just artificial intelligence?
I don’t know, John. What do you think?
So say it again?
Because it’s not a robot per se or a how the from the movies Space, Space. Yeah, 2000. Howe, remember Dave?
I can’t do that, Dave, because Howe was the artificial intelligence that controlled the entire ship. Give me control the entire ship. It could open and close the door.
I don’t know. Would you consider that a droid versus a bot?
It’s neither. It’s a computer.
It’s a computer. All right. It’s a computer.
By the way, Andy, I’m disappointed that you don’t read your Facebook post. I put The Day the Earth Stood still in the response to your Facebook post, and I gave you the answer to that NickTube or whatever.
Oh, did you really?
I did read your Facebook post. Look, a lot of people responded on the post, by the way.
No, but I handed that to you on a silver platter, The Day the Earth Stood.
Well, more importantly, have you seen Army of Darkness?
Yes, Bruce Campbell, yes. By the way, Bruce Campbell, of course, made the comeback in what great series ended about five or six years ago?
Oh, well, it was the same Evil Dead, wasn’t it? No, no, no.
It’s the spy thing with…
Oh, I don’t know.
You don’t? Oh, you never saw that?
Bruce Campbell, by the way, is… Bruce Campbell is kind of a… He’s an actor that a lot of people don’t know, but he’s very funny.
He does these kind of cult-like series, cult-following series.
Oh, this was one of the highest… Let me just pull it up. The name’s on the tip of my tongue.
One of the highest-rated TV series.
Hang on. Well, I didn’t see it.
Oh, come on. I can’t believe you didn’t see it.
I’m too serious a person. I never watch TV. I’m kidding.
I watch TV.
Hang on. If I can’t find it, I’ll just e-mail it to you in a minute.
Screen radio, though.
If you never saw this series, you need to go back and watch it. It was a great, great spy. It’s about a blacklisted former CIA agent who’s been unjustly accused and he’s been blacklisted and all.
And Bruce Campbell is his old friend, and they go back. Anyway, I’ll e-mail it to you in about five minutes, but you got to watch it. It’s an incredible series.
Okay.
All right.
Well, thanks, Joe.
Bye-bye.
Appreciate it, Joe. Appreciate it. Have a great weekend, as always.
I love Bruce Campbell.
Let’s do this. We’ll take a break. We’ll come back.
I got more on my list. If you guys have comments, things you want to add for Andy and I both, please do so 303-477-5600. The text line 307-282-22.

Live and local, back to Rush To Reason.
All right, we’re back.
Couple from listeners, by the way. We’ve got Robot, 1984, The Black Hole and Get Smart. Get Smart’s TV, of course.
Well, it’s also a movie.
Oh, okay.
Well, there you go. Yeah, there you go. Okay.
All right. I got to play this for you.
Go for it.
It’s from a trailer.
Yes.
Remember all the shopping carts.
Doing all the flying around, yes, good job, Andy.
I did that for you, John. Wally.
Thank you, thank you. One of my favorite movies, actually. It’s a great movie.
All right, we’d be remiss because of Transformers, you reviewing it if we didn’t say Transformers.
Absolutely, gotta do that one, right?
Yep, absolutely.
Okay, another TV show which was made into a movie as well, so you can go both ways. MST3K, and you have no idea what that is. It’s Mystery Science Theater 3000.
And there’s one robot on there named Tom Servo. And at one point, Tom Servo decides to make hundreds of Tom Servos and duplicate himself. And here we go, he’s getting in trouble.
You have the right to… Oh my God!
Easy, fellas, easy. It’s okay. Hi, guys, guess what?
What have you done?
Just playing God, it’s going pretty well.
Tom, you’ve made dozens and dozens of yourself. I don’t think that’s right. You know, you brought up some very serious psycho-moral issues here, buster.
Frankly, I don’t see a problem, Joel. I’ve just surrounded myself with an endless horde of mindless disciples ready to go forth and do my bidding. I guess I don’t see a downside.
How do you do it anyway? Oh, you know, simple prototype Japanese management style just-in-time stock procedures. Hey, we got more out back.
Where do you want them? Just make sure they’re all signed in. Roger.
Sounds pretty funny.
It’s a funny show. It’s a very stupid show. It is basically three comedians, but two of them are playing robots.
Sounds fun.
And all they do is watch unbelievably bad old movies and criticize them as they go through.
Gotcha.
There you go. You’re up.
RoboCop.
RoboCop.
He’s kind of a robot. I mean, wasn’t for the implants and all that, he would have died, right?
Oh, no, that’s totally robot, Android, plenty across over there. Okay. This is David from Prometheus, and he is a terrifying character.
Prometheus was the progenitor of aliens. Here we go.
What we hope to achieve was to meet our makers, to get answers why they even made us in the first place. Why do you think your people made me? We made you because we could.
Can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator?
I guess it’s a good thing you can’t be disappointed, I think.
Yes.
It’s wonderful, actually.
Yeah, David actually wound up being the one who made the aliens. He was a very bad android. You’re up, John.
Actually, how about aliens? Because there’s a droid in Aliens.
Oh, yes.
OK, no one counts.
Yeah, and he was pretty scary. OK, here we go.
That’s why they wouldn’t kill him.
Let’s ruin a good romantic moment.
OK.
We’re kissed.
Avangard ship!
Avangard ship! Women and Mugs first!
Well, none of that, mister.
How far did he get?
What did he touch? What did he touch?
Nothing happened.
What the hell was that noise?
That was my virgin alarm. It’s programmed to go off before you do.
You get back to bed, miss.
That’s for you, sex fiend.
All right, all right.
Let’s all just get some sleep.
We got to get moving before dawn.
Okay. And that’s obviously Dot Matrix from Spaceballs.
Spaceballs. All right.
That’s a funny movie. Go ahead.
Here’s one that came in just now. Yeah. The Santa Claus 2 because they duplicate Santa with a robot.
Oh, I forgot about that one. That one counts. Good job.
That’s great.
Okay. Let’s see here. Iron Giant.
Here we go. And this is from the trailer.
You are going to tell me about this thing, and we are going to destroy it before it destroys us.
We gotta show them you’re good. You are what you choose to be.
I am Superman.
We must stop it at all costs.
Let’s get out of here! Ready to attempt?
My son is out there!
We’ve gotta help it!
Hogarth, no!
The Iron Giant is one of the more underrated cartoons I’ve ever seen. I thought it was really good. What do you think?
Good job.
Okay, you’re up.
Bicentennial Man.
Ooh, yes, with Robin Williams.
That one counts.
Yeah, another brilliant performance by him. And here’s one that you hate. Here we go.
When a man’s an empty kettle, he should be on his metal, and yet I’m torn apart.
Come on, this is a robot, right?
I suppose. Wizard of Oz.
The Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. Was he really tin?
I don’t know.
Not sure what metal it was.
I don’t know. He was a cardboard painted silver.
Might have been vibranium. Not really sure.
Okay, you’re up. Blade Runner.
Blade Runner.
The first one.
Yes.
Which was better than the second.
Agreed. Okay, how about this one, AI?
Yeah, Charlie mentioned that earlier, by the way.
That was a really good one. Okay, go ahead.
How about Jetsons the Movie?
Gosh, it was awful.
The TV series was much better.
Oh, yes.
Let’s just say that.
Classic. Rosie. How about iRobot?
Oh, that’s on my list. That’s actually the top of my list. That one counts.
Okay, go ahead.
Bumblebee.
Bumblebee. Bumblebee was until now the best movie by them. Okay, how about Westworld?
Oh, that’s on my list. Yeah, that’s a good one.
Yeah. Okay, go.
War of the Worlds.
Oh, classic. How about this one? Short Circuit.
By the way, that’s a funny little movie. That’s a good one. Touching.
That one counts. Lost in Space.
I thought we did that one.
Did we? Well, okay, if we did, how about Battlestar Galactica?
Oh, yeah. The Cylons.
Throw that one in there.
I want to be a Cylon. Can I be a Cylon? Okay, how about a horror movie that came out like two, three years ago that I gave three and a half stars?
It was very good. Megan.
Oh, yeah. Good job.
Yeah. Made to be a little girl robot who became homicidal.
That one counts.
All right.
You’re up.
Pacific Rim.
Ooh, that was cool. Okay. How about a little Japanese art one, Ghost in the Shell?
I don’t know. I never saw that.
Oh, yeah. Very classic. You’re up.
Ghost in the Shell.
Ghost in the Shell.
All right. How about Inspector Gadget?
Oh, that was my next one. I had my thing right on there. How about Big Hero 6 with Baymax?
That’s a good one, Andy.
Yeah, it’s cute.
Yeah, that’s a good kid movie.
Okay.
Okay. How about The Creator?
Very good. Very good. How about The Matrix?
The Sentinels? Those are robots.
Yeah, that one counts. Mr. Anderson.
Boy, did that advance movies. You think? Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Anderson.
So great.
Logan’s Run.
Oh, yes. Yes. How about Batteries Not Included?
That’s a cute movie.
Yeah. Okay. So I got to type at the same time.
How about, and this one, I picked this one up on, because I don’t remember this one, but it was on one of the lists. Kingsman, The Golden Circle. Was there a bot or a droid in that?
Yeah.
Okay. I don’t remember it for some reason.
How about Minority Report, the spider robots?
Oh, I forgot about them. I was thinking the cyborgs, but no, I forgot about the little bots.
I like the spider robots.
They were cool. Andy, good one. Good one.
I missed that one. Silent Running.
Oh, nice. Here’s another horror movie that was actually kind of funny. Friday Night at Freddy’s.
Friday Night at Freddy’s.
I gave that three stars. Or three and a half, I think. Go.
Human.
Human. How about Not Quite Human?
That works.
Yeah.
Treasure Planet.
Oh, OK. How about Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey? Remember the robots that were like them?
All right, we’ll take our last break. We’ll come back. I’ll let you wrap up a few more.
