Amy Schumer is taking her brilliant humor and using it for more than entertainment — she's sparking a discussion about the way women are treated in the media. The latest episode of Inside Amy Schumer is dedicated entirely to a parody of 12 Angry Men. Paul Giamatti, Jeff Goldblum, Dennis Quaid, and many more actors help Amy re-create the 1957 Sidney Lumet film.

So what's the 2015 argument? Whether or not Amy is hot enough to be on television. The show perfectly re-creates the movie — even switching out the original switchblades for dildos (such an Amy touch). Of course the episode is hilarious, but the intention behind the adaptation is what makes it worthy of discussion. The comedian unflinchingly tackles difficult female issues in a way that is getting the attention of a broader audience; it's genius. Watch a piece of "12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer," and let us know what you think.
