    The Swan Song

    Hear ye, hear ye! On this week's episode of the Layered Butter Podcast; Rod, Raf and Jordan have a special announcement to make - and it's gonna break some hearts and ears. Though, they're still chatting about the death of the high-brow movie, whatever is going on at DC Films and of course, Raf's favourite, the beginning of the award season madness. Is Everything Everywhere All At Once going to upset Fabelmans? Will Fraser get that gold? Is Ke the only lock for the win? We also dive into our Letterboxd's to find some deep cut reccos that really say something about us. At least, we hope.

    Dragon Houses and Power Rings

    Elves, Dragons, Maesters and...Harfoots? In this week's episode of the Layered Butter Podcast; Rod, Raf and Jordan take a leap into the worlds of Westeros and Middle-Earth as they chat about all things fantasy. With two simultaneous series debuting at the same time; it seems only right to explore how these two dueling fantasy worlds made their mark in the realm of pop culture. With The Lord of the Rings: The RIngs of Power debuting on Amazon Prime - how does Amazon's billion dollar investment stack to HBO's newly minted spin-off of their flagship fantasy drama, The House of The Dragon. How do both series stack against the zeitgeist of pop culture - in their presence, their impact and their overall execution of narratives. Can LOTR find its way back into the mainstream consciousness and can viewers forgive whatever happened at the end of Game of Thrones? Also, the pod tackles the question of "event" films and how much bigger can a film really get? All this and more in this week's fantastical episode of the Layered Butter Podcast.

    For Duty and For Country

    In this week's episode of the Layered Butter Podcast; Rod, Raf and Jordan are joined by Matthew Moss and Robbie McGuire of the FightingonFilm Podcast to explore the titular "war" film. War cinema has certainly evolved from its early histories of propaganda film and newsreels; it has navigated through melodrama, action, adventure, lighthearted comedies to dark, brooding, visceral experiences. The war film touches upon the tangible relationship between culture, country and history and the ways it has changed the way generations experience, feel and relive a tragic piece of the world. From Hogan's Heroes to M.A.S.H to Saving Private Ryan and the newly released All Quiet on The Western Front, Matthew and Robbie help the Pod unravel the deep histories of the war and the silver screen. Also, we chat about the troubling nature of social media amidst Heartstopper and how the Rock has changed the hierarchy of power in the DC universe (in a pretentious way???). All this and more in this week's Layered Butter Podcast.

    Spooky SZN

    *breathes heavily into podcast microphone* What's your favourite scary movie? In this episode of the Layered Butter Podcast; Rod, Raf and Jordan are joined by Nicolina and Marie of the Para(normal) Podcast to dive deep into all things that go bump in the night (and movies). Right on the eve of Halloween, this episode unpacks the mysteries of human fear and what keeps the audiences and our hearts crawling back for more jump scares, gore and bone-chilling terror. How has the horror genre evolved over the years - from its creature features, to slasher films and now to the popularized A24 "elevated horror" - what are the barebones of "horror"? Also, Warner Bros Discovery seems to be shuffling their content for another batch of cancellations and Netflix says goodbye to one of its co-produced originals. All this and more in this weeks spooky episode of Layered Butter
