    E294 – The Death of Robin Hood - What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/24
    Amber and Scott turn their critical lens toward the grim, blood-soaked reimagining of the classic outlaw tale in The Death of Robin Hood . They grapple with the jarring transition from childhood memories of animated foxes to a story defined by gore, maces, and a protagonist who has long since traded his noble cause for pure, unadulterated malice. The duo finds themselves deep in a debate over the ethics of generational revenge and whether or not a lifelong villain can ever truly find redemption on his deathbed. Some What Would You Dos from the episode:  If you were a remorseless outlaw who had wronged countless families, would you keep your identity a secret to secure a fresh start on an island, or would the weight of your past eventually force a confession? When faced with a young man seeking vengeance for his family, would you choose to end the cycle of violence through mercy, or would you take him out to prevent future retribution? If you discovered that the man you were nursing back to health was the very person who murdered your family, would you be capable of finding the grace to forgive him, or would your rage take the lead? As a dying man, is it a final act of penance to reveal your true identity to a victim, or is it a selfish, cowardly move that forces them to carry the burden of your history? The conversation takes a hilariously dark turn as the hosts struggle to reconcile the film's gritty violence with the absurdity of Robin Hood’s final, precise instructions to his young charge. Scott and Amber ultimately agree that they might never be able to look at the classic Disney version of the story the same way again without shouting at the screen.

  • E293 – Leviticus - What Would YOU Do?

    E293 – Leviticus - What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/22
    In this episode, Amber and Scott dive into the supernatural thriller Leviticus , a film that manages to blend high-stakes religious tension with the absolute absurdity of a "gay-away" curse. The hosts share a genuine laugh over the movie’s bizarre premise, where a simple crush turns into a life-or-death battle against an invisible, vengeful apparition. Between dissecting the questionable parenting of a mother who actively curses her own child and mocking the logistical nightmare of dating while being haunted, they explore the darker—and often more ridiculous—sides of teenage infatuation. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: What would you do if you realized the person you were falling for was actually a supernatural entity trying to kill you? What would you do if you were a teenager and discovered your partner was also seeing someone else behind your back? What would you do if you were in a relationship where you had to use a cigarette lighter to verify if your partner was a real human or a demonic hallucination? What would you do if you were forced into a religious ceremony by a parent who knew it would result in you being haunted and physically attacked for the rest of your life? Ultimately, the conversation hits a hilarious peak when the hosts try to solve the film's existential dread with a simple, modern fix: just start a group chat. It turns out that when you are being hunted by an invisible demon, a reliable cell phone plan and a consistent lighter-check ritual are far more effective than any exorcism.

  • E292 – Toy Story 5 - What Would YOU Do?

    E292 – Toy Story 5 - What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/20
    In this episode, the hosts dive into the existential crisis that is *Toy Story 5*, dissecting a world where imaginative play is fighting a losing battle against screen time and digital isolation. From the heartbreak of children being bullied for keeping their toys to the absurdity of a potty-training device voiced by Conan O’Brien, the crew explores why today’s generation might be losing their grip on resourcefulness. It’s a nostalgic, slightly cynical, and deeply passionate look at whether we’re raising a generation of loners or just adapting to a new reality.

  • E291 – The Breadwinner - What Would YOU Do?

    E291 – The Breadwinner - What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/17
    Amber and Scott break down the family comedy The Breadwinner , diving into why this film defies its low critical score to provide genuine, laugh-out-loud entertainment. They explore the comedic brilliance behind the movie's chaotic depiction of parenting, dissecting everything from the "instinctive" nature of household management to the bizarrely over-the-top physical comedy of a horse destroying a home. It is a refreshing look at how a film can succeed by simply knowing exactly what it is and leaning into its own absurdity. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: If you were Nate, would you tell Lori Greiner you’re staying home with the kids while secretly hiring a nanny to do the work, or would you actually take on the role yourself? When faced with a scheduling conflict between your daughter’s spelling bee and a major work award ceremony, how do you handle the fallout without letting your family down? If you were in charge of a six-year-old who has a habit of hugging and kissing classmates inappropriately, how would you approach the conversation about personal space and consent? When you’ve accidentally destroyed your own house and need to host a live stream for a major business deal, do you attempt to rent an Airbnb to fake your location or come clean to your spouse? The conversation hits its peak when the hosts debate the sheer lunacy of Nate’s "system" for managing his daughters, which includes buying a horse to bribe a child into stopping bad behavior. Watching Nate try to treat his domestic life like a car dealership while his home literally falls apart around him is easily the most ridiculous and entertaining part of the film.

  • E290 – Scary Movie - What Would YOU Do?

    E290 – Scary Movie - What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/15
    In this episode, the hosts attempt to dissect the chaotic, spoof-heavy landscape of the *Scary Movie* franchise, though the conversation quickly devolves into a masterclass in technical incompetence and verbal stumbles. Between struggling to operate their own recording software and questioning why they even bothered to sit down for this recording, they manage to touch upon the Wayans family’s legendary history of pushing boundaries and the sheer absurdity of trying to find a "What Would You Do?" scenario in a film that thrives on disjointed nonsense. It’s an irreverent, slightly unhinged look at a movie that perhaps shouldn't have been discussed at all. Also Scott swears he knows the difference between I Know What You Dìd Last Summer and Scream. He was referring to how IKWYDLS didn’t number their sequel so this movie did not either. And yes, was a very bad spoof on how we record our podcasts, plus the wonders that DoneCast.com does for podcasters.

  • E289 – Pressure - What Would YOU Do?

    E289 – Pressure - What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/13
    In this episode, Amber and Scott dive into the high-stakes history of the film Pressure , which explores the harrowing meteorological decisions leading up to the D-Day invasion. They discuss the fascinating use of inflatable tanks and dummy parachuters as psychological warfare, highlighting how the Allies masterfully tricked the German forces about the actual location of the attack. Amber and Scott also share a laugh over the random trivia that Chris Messina, who plays meteorologist Irving Crick, is actually credited with creating the hashtag. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: If you were in charge of a mission with 300,000 lives on the line and two experts gave you completely conflicting recommendations, how would you decide whom to trust? If you were Dr. Stagg and had to explain to Eisenhower why providing a 2.5-day forecast with 100% certainty is effectively impossible, how would you articulate that without sounding like you aren't up to the task? If you discovered a small, high-risk gap in a massive storm that could be your only chance to launch a surprise attack, would you risk the mission on that narrow window or wait two weeks for potentially better conditions? The duo concludes by reflecting on the absurdity of 1940s forecasting methods, specifically the reliance on analog maps —which amounted to checking if the weather was nice on that same date in 1912. It’s hilariously terrifying to realize that the fate of the free world essentially hinged on a meteorologist’s version of confirmation bias .

    E288 – Carolina Caroline - What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/10
    In this episode, the hosts break down the cinematic crime spree of *Carolina Caroline*, a film that proves small-town boredom is a dangerous catalyst for bad life choices. From questionable bank robbery fashion choices to the hosts debating the logistics of "suicide by cop," they dissect why our protagonists are essentially the worst criminals to ever grace the silver screen. It’s a cynical, hilarious look at why you should probably just stick to a 9-to-5 instead of trying to outrun the FBI with nothing but a wig and a dream.

  • E287 – Disclosure Day – What Would YOU Do?

    E287 – Disclosure Day – What Would YOU Do?
    2026/07/08
    In this episode of Cinema IRL , Amber and Scott untangle the chaotic, puzzle-like narrative of Disclosure Day , a film that leaves them questioning everything from government cover-ups to the ethics of alien experimentation. They dive into the surreal experience of the protagonist, Margaret, whose sudden ability to speak foreign languages and tap into the intimate lives of strangers turns her world—and the broadcast booth—upside down. The duo shares a spirited debate over whether this cinematic journey is a profound piece of art or just a confusing, over-extended blockbuster that leaves the audience hanging on a cryptic final word. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: If you worked for a massive corporation and discovered proof of alien life, would you have a moral obligation to leak the truth to the public? If you suddenly developed inexplicable powers that compelled you to travel and act in ways your loved ones couldn't comprehend, how would you handle the strain on your relationships? If you were in Noah's shoes—a man who has built his entire life around maintaining a massive secret—what would you do when that secret is about to be broadcast to the entire world? If you were a member of the general public and saw live, documented evidence of extraterrestrial contact breaking over the news, would you immediately believe it or demand more vetting? Amber and Scott finish the episode by fixating on the absurdity of the movie's final act, specifically the introduction of a mysterious, Wilt Chamberlain-sized alien in a wheelchair. It is hard to take the fate of the universe seriously when the extraterrestrial life forms range from pocket-sized creatures to a giant that makes the entire climax feel like a surreal, cosmic comedy.
