E298 - Minions & Monsters - What Would YOU Do?

Amber and Scott dive into the chaotic, yellow-hued world of the film Minions and Monsters, questioning everything from the logistics of minion management to the bizarre reality of their Hollywood stardom. The conversation takes a sharp turn into office politics, as they analyze the unconventional leadership of the minion known as Dick and the questionable hiring practices of various "Big Bosses" throughout history. They also share a good laugh over the meta-narrative of the film, ultimately realizing they spent the entire episode dissecting a movie about the making of a movie.

• Some What Would You Dos from the episode:What would you do if you were a minion looking for a big boss?
• What would you do if you were Dick, tasked with managing a massive, chaotic group of minions?
• What would you do if a random group of minions showed up and started taking over your workspace?
• What would you do if you were a minion suddenly offered a chance at Hollywood stardom?
• What would you do if you were Irene, the world-destroying, gelatinous red blob?

The most ridiculous highlight of the episode has to be the realization that Scott spent the entire time debating the business ethics of these creatures, only to be hit with the revelation that the entire film was a meta-layer of cinematic inception. It is a hilarious look at how deep you can get into the weeds of a cartoon before realizing the joke was on you the whole time.
