E303 – Motor City - What Would YOU Do?
Amber and Scott tackle the bizarre, near-silent experiment that is Motor City, a film so dialogue-starved that Scott’s intro contained more words than the entire movie combined. The duo finds themselves in a heated, humorous debate over whether the film's extreme lack of communication was a brilliant artistic choice or just a confusing narrative void. They also share a genuine moment of physical comedy, recalling how they sat in the dark clutching each other's hands during an intensely gruesome, claustrophobic fight scene inside an elevator. Some What Would You Dos from the episode: What would you do if you were Reynolds and caught your partner kissing a stranger in an alley—would you resort to violence or accept that the relationship is over? What would you do if you were John, the man caught in the middle of a public altercation, knowing your opponent has bodyguards backing him up? What would you do if you were Sophia, left alone and facing eviction after your partner is suddenly arrested for a crime he didn't commit? What would you do if you were John and received a taunting letter from your rival while serving a 25-year prison sentence? What would you do if you were John and finally found the man who framed you and caused your partner's death after decades of hunting him down? The conversation takes a truly ridiculous turn when the hosts fixate on the protagonist’s DIY ingenuity in prison, specifically his decision to craft a shiv out of melted candy. Amber and Scott end the episode by firmly establishing their anti-shiv stance, opting instead to dream of using candy molds for much more civilized, seashell-shaped soaps.
