On this Friday edition of Rush To Reason, John Rush and Andy Peth dive into rising oil prices, global politics, and the economic forces driving gas prices higher. Could a single executive action dramatically lower fuel costs overnight? And what role do traders, geopolitics, and market psychology play in the price you pay at the pump? Then it’s time for Andy Peth’s Friday 5-Star Movie Reviews, where he breaks down three very different films hitting theaters. Is Pixar finally returning to form with its latest animated release—or is there more beneath the surface than audiences expect? A bold new reimagining of The Bride of Frankenstein brings big stars and big ideas, but does it actually work? And what happens when a revenge-driven action thriller puts a highly trained mother on the hunt for her kidnapped daughter? Which movie delivers real entertainment? Which ones fall apart? And why might one of these films leave audiences scratching their heads? If you enjoy honest movie reviews, sharp commentary, and conversations that connect culture, politics, and entertainment, this episode of Rush To Reason asks the questions you didn’t know you were wondering about. Movie Review Timestamps * 9:50 — Hoppers * 22:59 — The Bride * 36:49 — Protector HOUR 2 What exactly qualifies as a “terrorism movie” in Hollywood? In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, John, Andy, Richard, and callers take on that question with a fast-paced dive into action films, war movies, and high-stakes thrillers where villains terrorize the world—and heroes fight back. From classic blockbusters like Die Hard, Air Force One, and Speed, to modern war films such as American Sniper, 13 Hours, and The Hurt Locker, the conversation explores how Hollywood portrays terrorism, military operations, and global threats. But the debate quickly widens. Could Top Gun, Iron Man, or even Back to the Future qualify under a broad definition of “terrorists”? What about intense real-world-inspired stories like United 93, Munich, and Captain Phillips? Listeners call in with their favorite picks, sparking a lively back-and-forth packed with iconic quotes, movie trivia, and unforgettable scenes. Along the way, the hosts even touch on the legendary TV series 24, asking whether Jack Bauer might be one of the greatest anti-terror heroes ever written. Which movies truly define the genre? Which ones did the hosts forget? And which films still hold up decades later? If you love action movies, legendary villains, and unforgettable movie moments, this hour of Rush To Reason is packed with surprises.
