E295 – Couture - What Would YOU Do?

Amber and Scott dive into the bizarre world of the film Couture , a fashion-themed horror movie that somehow manages to combine high-end couture with a muddy forest setting. The pair dissects the film’s disjointed narrative, including the confusing intersection of a breast cancer diagnosis, a secret pharmacy school student, and a struggling writer. They also engage in a spirited debate over why models command such massive paychecks and whether the prestige of a famous face is truly worth the exorbitant price tag.   Some What Would You Dos from the episode: What would you do if you were in a foreign country and your doctor gave you a cryptic, urgent warning to come in immediately? What would you do if you had to balance a major professional opportunity while processing a devastating health diagnosis? What would you do if you paid for a professional critique of your book, only to be told that your life stories were boring and unbelievable? What would you do if your hotel room was constantly plagued by the sound of screaming from a nearby carnival ride?   The conversation inevitably spirals into the logistics of orgies, leaving Scott and Amber to debate the specific number of participants required to categorize one as "mid-sized." It serves as the perfect, ridiculous bookend to their deep dive into the high-stakes world of Parisian fashion.
