Like the popcorn topping that inspired the name, Extra Buttery is an often salty, but oh-so-appropriate addition to your movie, TV and pop culture experience. You'll hear Jason and Robert discuss and quarrel over the latest casting news, project announcements, and trailers. You'll hear reviews of films and TV shows both new and old, and maybe some special guests. Extra Buttery uploads twice a month, so follow the show and let us know what you think!

Episode 125 - "I get a kick out of characters who find sadism funny" [CIVIL WAR, FALLOUT, REBEL MOON PT. 2]
In the 125th episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Robert and Jason owe Vin Diesel an apology for taking sides in the Fast & Furious feud after an exposé on Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's difficult Amazon production RED ONE revealed detailed (and gross!) examples of his unprofessionalism. This episode includes: a healthy debate about the merits and politics of CIVIL WAR (9:40), the rise of quality video-game adaptations with FALLOUT (32:22), the continuing trainwrecks of Zack Snyder with REBEL MOON - PART 2: THE SCARGIVER (50:26), the draw of Hollywood star power in the formulaic THE FALL GUY (1:01:18), the rightfully highly-acclaimed SHOGUN (1:08:22) and Marvel's best production in recent memory with X-MEN '97 (1:14:50).

In the 122nd episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert gush over GODZILLA MINUS ONE (6:28), a movie that delivered on an exciting trailer with a new chubby Godzilla; find reasons to enjoy the final chapter of the old DCEU with AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM (20:24); the complete and utter mess that was REBEL MOON (32:50); and discuss why POOR THINGS (58:22) is a potential awards darling.

Episode 121 - "Somewhere along the line, they got lost." [Killers of the Flower Moon, The Marvels, The Holdovers]
In the 121st episode of The Extra Buttery Episode, Jason and Robert discuss the new MAD MAX: FURIOSA trailer in the cold open before heading to Osage County with Martin Scorsese's KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (7:57). In a jam-packed episode, Jason thinks Ridley Scott's lost the plot with NAPOLEON (25:11) and THE MARVELS (42:13) is flat-out not good while Robert believes Alexander Payne is back in form with THE HOLDOVERS (33:24) and finds some amusement with David Fincher's THE KILLER (55:03).

Episode 120 - “I have a problem and I’m trying to fix it.” [The Creator, Ahsoka, Dumb Money]
In the 120th episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert rattle off movies they’re looking forward to over the winter months and into the holiday season before taking a deep dive into THE CREATOR (10:44), discussing the incredible production value despite a modest budget, the battle between humans vs. AI, Asian representation, and the Vietnam War imagery. We continue with more sci-fi with AHSOKA (32:32) and why it falters because it tries to be both a show for adults and kids. Then we finish with DUMB MONEY (57:38) and the impact of the meme stock craze.
