E285 – Power Ballad - What Would YOU Do?

from Cinema IRL Hosted by Amber Noelle & Scott Gerhardt

The hosts tackle the melodic treachery of *Power Ballad*, a film that proves why you should never trust a former boy-bander looking for a solo hit. When wedding singer Rick (Paul Rudd) shares a heartfelt song during an all-night jam session in Ireland, pop star Danny Wilson decides to "borrow" it all the way to the top of the charts without a single writing credit. Between debates over elevator door advertising and the logistics of confronting a thief in a hot tub, the crew explores the fine line between musical collaboration and straight-up larceny. It’s a sassy breakdown of missed opportunities, a lack of digital receipts, and the ultimate vindication found in a dusty family video.
