In the 128th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert open with a discussion about - what else - popcorn. From lineups, kernel sizes to the proper amount of butter, there's no better snack at the theatre. We discuss Rob's experience at TIFF (8:33) and Jason's experience at VIFF (28:09) before diving into the latest movies, including Joker: Folie à Deux and Megalopolis (39:08), The Wild Robot (52:19), TV shows The Penguin (58:21), Rings of Power (59:30) and House of the Dragon (1:07:13). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer

In the 127th episode of The Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert openly lament the rash of internet reviews that bash films and shows just to get clicks. What good is a review if it can't be trusted? Anyway, we start with an extended conversation on ALIEN: ROMULUS (13:33), which we saw together in Vancouver, before moving onto the highly-anticipated DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (it was fine) (36:32) and STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE (it was not fine) (45:48). Comedy bonus: Rob's impression of a drunk Alec Guinness. (56:37) Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer

In the 126th episode of The Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert discuss how their ratings often change over time or upon multiple viewings. Does anyone else do this? Anyway, the episode includes FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA (4:22), the rare sequel that thrills and entertains; Richard Linklater's new quirky dark comedy, HIT MAN (37:33), continuing the summer of Glen Powell; INSIDE OUT 2 (49:28) and discussing whether or not Pixar has lost its magic; and THE ACOLYTE (54:41), Disney's new and surprisingly intriguing entry into the Star Wars universe.
