About this listen

 Movies give us countless scenarios and situations the characters have to navigate. Well, how would YOU handle these situations in you were in their place? Amber, Scott and the occasional guest tackle this very topic. We're not a review show, but there are enough opinions between us you'll get a little of that too. We mostly try to keep it lighthearted and funny. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes not so much, but it's usually entertaining nonetheless, or at least we hopeCopyright 2026 Chainsaw Enterprises Art

    E262 - Forbidden Fruits - What Would YOU Do?
    Apr 24 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are peeling back the layers of *Forbidden Fruits*, a movie that proves mall culture and amateur witchcraft are a recipe for a very literal rot. They’re breaking down Apple’s "Mean Girls" coven at the Free Eden store, where the rules include no sex on Wednesdays, emoji-only texting, and confessing your sins to a Marilyn Monroe mirror. Between scalding coffee "accidents" and cleavers to the face, it’s a deep dive into why you should never trust a clique named after the produce section. If you thought your retail job was hell, at least your manager wasn’t a homicidal half-sister with a penchant for amateur hexes.

    E261 - TOW - What Would YOU Do?
    Apr 22 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are tackling *TOW*, a movie that proves the only thing more soul-crushing than being “vehicularly housed” is having that house stolen, towed, and then held hostage by a lawyer who clearly graduated from the School of Satan. They’re breaking down the "poverty compounding poverty" spiral, the absurdity of a $21,000 storage fee for a 1991 Camry, and why "becoming a vet tech" is the go-to lie for people hitting rock bottom. It’s a masterclass in how the system violates you twice—first when your car is taken, and second when the towing company decides they own your life.

    E260 - Slanted - What Would YOU Do?
    Apr 20 2026
    This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting *Slanted*, a satirical body horror flick that asks exactly how many layers of skin you’re willing to shed to become prom queen. They’re diving into the "Ethnos" app—which starts off sounding like a WhatsApp crypto scam—and the tactical error of a father asking his teenage daughter to mop the floors of her popular classmates. Between "Prayers and Ammo" storefronts and faces literally sliding off on stage, it’s a deep dive into the absurdity of high school social hierarchies and why Scott thinks a little light emotional manipulation is the best way to handle your parents.
