E321 – Digger - What Would YOU Do?

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.
