Hey scripties, we’re back with another packed episode! This week, we dive into a fascinating new movie in production across Spain and Portugal that explores the concept of artificial justice. The big question: would you rather be judged by humans or an AI jury in a court case? We break down the pros, cons, and potential biases of AI in the justice system, and debate where things could go wrong.

We start off with our viewers/listeners recommended watch Challengers, starring Zendaya as Tashi, a former tennis star turned coach. Tension brews as her husband faces off against his former best friend—and her ex—in a high-stakes tennis match. Can you ever fully let go of past romances? And how far will you go to win, whether in love or on the court?

For our first Plot and Pop pick, we’re covering Bad Monkey. Vince Vaughn is stellar as Andrew Yancey, a detective who’s too dedicated to justice for his own good. We follow his journey from Miami to the Bahamas as he goes head-to-head with a corrupt developer trying to seize local land. Along the way, we dive into his romance with Rosa, a coroner, as they fight to expose the villainous Christopher/Nick before it's too late.

Next up, we tackle Lady in the Lake. Cleo, a powerful Black woman fighting for her family, and Maddie, a manipulative and prejudiced journalist, show us two sides of the same coin. We explore race, privilege, and manipulation, unraveling Maddie’s dangerous ambitions and the tragic mystery of who killed Cleo. The lines Maddie is willing to cross for a story will leave you questioning everything. Tune in for all the tea, scripties!
