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 and Scott tackle this very topic. We're not a review show, but there are enough opinions between the two 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.Copyright 2025 Chainsaw Enterprises Art Philosophy Social Sciences

    Wax on, wax off, and pizza delivered from New York! This week on Cinema IRL, we're diving headfirst into the latest *Karate Kid* installment, "Karate Kid Legends."

One host shares their Taekwondo tournament experience, complete with a flying sidekick gone wrong, while the other questions the movie's adherence to martial arts realism. Plus, what would *you* do if sucker-punched on the subway? Join us as we grapple with the film's highs, lows, and that *one* thing that REALLY bothered us.

    Jun 23 2025
    Death is coming, and this time it's personal...ly gruesome! This week on Cinema IRL, we dive headfirst (sometimes literally) into "Final Destination: Bloodlines." We discuss Stephanie's family curse, inherited from a grandmother plagued by premonitions. Is Iris crazy, or is she the only one who can outsmart Death himself? We ponder the film's elaborate death traps, debate abandoning cursed families, and ask the important questions: peanut allergy or metal coil through the head? Plus, are there enough warning signs before someone goes out for cigarettes and never returns? Get ready to suspend your disbelief and brace yourself for some epicly creative carnage!
