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.
