    E272 - The Devil Wears Prada 2 - What Would YOU Do?
    May 29 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are slipping back into their size-two Manolos to dissect *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, a sequel that asks if twenty years is long enough for the trauma of a toxic boss to fade. They follow Andy’s return to the *Runway* trenches, where she discovers that while the industry is crumbling, Miranda Priestly still hasn't aged a day and still has no idea who Andy is. Between corporate coups staged by a vengeful Emily and a billionaire ex-wife buying the entire conglomerate out of spite, the duo questions whether Andy is a hero or just a glutton for high-fashion punishment.

    E271 - The Super Mario Bros. Galaxy Movie - WWYD?
    May 26 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are blasting off into the animated world of *Super Mario Galaxy*, a film that suggests the best way to save the universe is through a series of "power-ups" and questionable plumbing credentials. Amber finds herself trapped in a neon-colored fever dream, questioning the ethics of "princess trafficking" and why Mario hasn't updated his wardrobe or groomed his mustache in forty years. Meanwhile, Scott attempts to defend the honor of the "Pinos" (Plumbers In Name Only) while geeking out over deep-cut Nintendo cameos that leave his wife completely bewildered. From the introduction of "Princess Bangs" to the sheer horror of baby Luigi licking a T-Rex’s eyeball, they’re dissecting whether this franchise is a nostalgic masterpiece or just a 40-year-old red flag.

    E270 - Newborn - What Would YOU Do?
    May 22 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting the 2026 film *Newborn*, a movie that suggests the best way to help your brother out of a hit-and-run is to personally volunteer for a decade of prison trauma. They’re following Chris Newborn’s journey from a self-sacrificing sibling to a man who spent seven years in a suspiciously clean solitary confinement cell only to come home and realize his brother might just be a *Fight Club*-style hallucination. Between Amber’s immediate plan to fire up OKCupid the moment a life sentence is handed down and Scott’s "autistic rage" over the film’s total disregard for discovery laws and forensic evidence, they’re wondering how anyone survives nine years of zero stimulation without going 5150. It’s a tale of unintended consequences where the only thing more silent than the protagonist’s non-verbal son is the common sense of the characters involved.

    E269 - Animal Farm - What Would YOU Do?
    May 18 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting the 1999 adaptation of *Animal Farm*, a film that asks the question: "What if we took a bleak allegory about Stalinism and added red sports cars and a trip to the mall?" They’re following the rise of "Napopo" and the addition of a moral-compass pig named Lucky, all while wondering why anyone thought a "Laughter House" pun was appropriate for a story about systemic corruption. Between comparing Napoleon’s cabinet to modern political administrations and debating the intelligence of glow-stick-wielding children, they’re proving that while all animals are equal, some movie adaptations are definitely less equal than others.

    E268 - Over Your Dead Body - What Would YOU Do?
    May 15 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting *Over Your Dead Body*, a film that suggests the best way to fix a failing marriage isn't therapy, but a mutual assassination plot at a remote cabin. They’re following Dan and Lisa’s romantic getaway as it devolves from "who cheated on who" into a high-stakes bidding war once a trio of escaped convicts crashes through the ceiling. Between debating the mathematical impossibility of a Scrabble score and wondering why nobody ever thinks to "double-tap" a neutralized assailant, the duo explores why shared trauma is apparently the ultimate aphrodisiac. It’s a blood-soaked masterclass in why you should always check the attic for felons before attempting to mulch your spouse.

    E267 - Hunting Matthew Nichols - What Would YOU Do?
    May 11 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting *Hunting Matthew Nichols*, a film that proves if your brother vanished 22 years ago, maybe just leave the grainy VHS tapes in the evidence box where they belong. They’re following Tara’s ill-advised documentary journey into the woods to find a "destroyed" cabin that apparently has a mind of its own and a very strict policy against unauthorized blood rituals. Between debating the merits of burning down Satan’s real estate and wondering why anyone enters a vacant shack after dark, the duo explores why some cold cases should probably stay frozen.

  • E266 - I Swear - What Would YOU Do?

    E266 - I Swear - What Would YOU Do?
    May 8 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting *I Swear*, a film that proves having a neurological condition in 1980s Scotland is a one-way ticket to being the town’s most misunderstood "troublemaker." They’re following John Davidson’s journey from blurting out profanities at teachers to becoming an MBE-awarded legend, all while navigating a mother who thinks a stern "tuck in your shirt" is a valid cure for a brain spasm. It’s a masterclass in why you shouldn't take a "fat bastard" comment personally and why everyone needs a friend like Dottie to tell them to stop apologizing for things they can't control.

  • E265 - Mile High Kicks - What Would YOU Do?

    E265 - Mile High Kicks - What Would YOU Do?
    May 4 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting *Mile High Kicks*, a film that proves "worst guy in Montreal" is apparently a top-tier personality trait for 22-year-old women. They’re tracking Grace Pines’ ill-advised summer, where she ditches a promising book deal to chase a lead singer who couldn't be less interested if he tried. Between dodging a boss who owes her four grand and navigating the "nice guy" advances of a roommate with a secret, Grace is a masterclass in why your early twenties are just one long series of bad decisions. Scott and Amber debate the merits of "playing the game," the terrifying reality of "Risk the Disease" nicknames, and why self-respect is a lot harder to find than a bad boy in a band. It’s a hilarious, slightly heartbreaking look at why we pine for the people who treat us like trash. And remember: never have a serious life conversation while holding a vibrator.
