Cinema IRL

Amber Noelle & Scott Gerhardt

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.
