Cinema IRL drops you straight into the movie and asks the question, "what would YOU do?" In every episode, Amber and Scott (and the occasional guest) take movie plot points and run them through a real-life filter. What holds up, what falls apart, and what they'd actually do when things get messy. From impossible choices to wildly unrealistic storylines, they break it down, challenge each other, and uncover how these stories might play out in real life. Cinema IRL is smart, funny, and just the right amount of unhinged. (In case you're wondering about the dinosaurs on the movie posters, it was an inside joke that gained waaaayyyy too much traction. Rawr!)Copyright 2026 Chainsaw Enterprises Kunst

    E323 – Verity - What Would YOU Do?
    Oct 28 2026
    In this episode, Amber and Scott dive into the dark, twisty world of the thriller Verity . They share a humorous debate over whether or not an author should ever call a professional meeting while covered in the blood of a stranger, ultimately questioning the extreme lengths one will go to for a career-making opportunity. The hosts also touch on the bizarre, non-maternal nature of the film's titular character and the unsettling reality of living in a home where you are being watched by someone who is supposed to be comatose. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: Would you accept a $225,000 ghostwriting contract after witnessing a horrific accident, or would you counter-offer for more money? If you were hired to finish a famous author's work, would you use AI to condense and organize her cryptic notes, or try to decipher them manually? If you suspected your partner was faking a vegetative state, would you set up a hidden camera, or would you try to trigger a confession through more direct, physical means? If you discovered your spouse had written a manuscript confessing to the murder of your child, would you believe their claim that it was just a dark "adversarial" writing exercise? The episode concludes with a look at the film's ridiculous final act, focusing on the sheer absurdity of the characters trying to make a murder look like a natural drowning. Amber and Scott can't help but laugh at the tactical incompetence of disposing of evidence in a lake after already leaving a trail of physical trauma that would be impossible to hide from a coroner.

  • E322 – Heart of the Beast - What Would YOU Do?

    E322 – Heart of the Beast - What Would YOU Do?
    Oct 26 2026
    In this episode, Amber and Scott dive into the harrowing survivalist film Heart of the Beast , which follows a retired soldier and his loyal German shepherd, Odin, as they face the brutal Alaskan wilderness. The hosts reflect on the intense bond between a veteran and his service dog, humorously contrasting the film's life-or-death stakes with the "Netflix and gym" reality of their own lives. They also share a poignant moment discussing why the film's heartbreaking finale—specifically Odin’s howl—was enough to trigger a full-blown waterworks session. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: What would you do if you were in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, your dog was on high alert, and a stranger suddenly approached your camp? When faced with an incoming storm in a remote area, do you attempt to fly your seaplane to safety or hunker down and risk the elements? If you were swept away in dangerous rapids, would you attempt to curl into a fetal position to protect your head, or is that just a simplistic idea that ignores the reality of physics? If you were injured and alone in the woods, would you risk wading through a mysterious, bacteria-filled bog or find a way to navigate around it? If you were at your absolute physical limit, would you choose to keep pushing forward, or would you accept your fate and write a final note to ensure your dog’s future? The duo concludes by laughing at the absurdity of the film's survival logic, particularly the protagonist's questionable decision to start a trek through the wilderness in the dead of night. They agree that while the movie is a high-stakes drama, nothing beats the comedic imagery of someone trying to survive the wild while armed with nothing but a stick and a dream.

  • E321 – Digger - What Would YOU Do?

    E321 – Digger - What Would YOU Do?
    Oct 23 2026
    In this episode, Amber and Scott take a look at the highly anticipated film Digger , though they find themselves quickly drifting from excitement into sheer boredom and confusion. The hosts share a collective laugh over the absurdly high-tech animatronics of a 30-year-old cat and the film's questionable logic regarding iceberg science and maritime disasters. They also engage in a poignant discussion about the dangers of echo chambers in leadership and the moral weight of our global reliance on convenience and oil. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: What would you do if you were in charge of an oil company and realized your negligence had triggered a cataclysmic environmental disaster? If you were an advisor to a leader who was intentionally ignoring a crisis, at what point would you risk your position to demand they act with integrity? What would you do if you were tasked with managing a 30-year-old pet that is clearly suffering, balancing the desire to keep them around with the reality of their quality of life? The episode concludes on a high note of absurdity as the hosts dissect the film's bizarre decision to introduce a completely irrelevant plot line involving a missing plane. Ultimately, they agree that regardless of the film's confusing twist, the most ridiculous takeaway remains the character's attempt to solve a massive iceberg crisis with nothing more than a few well-placed missiles.
