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).

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.

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 124th episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert welcome back Matt Whalen and dedicate the entire episode to Denis Villenueve's sci-fi epic drama DUNE: PART 2! We talk David Lynch's DUNE, Chani, Zendaya and Chalamet's chemistry, Villeneuve's world of Dune and rank his filmography at the end of the episode.

In the 123rd episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert open the episode with some discussion on upcoming video game adaptations BORDERLANDS, which had been toiling in production hell, and touch on other game adaptations FALLOUT and HALO. We kick off with MADAME WEB (5:47) and Jason and Robert’s diverging opinions before moving on to DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS (25:04) from Ethan Coen. The episode finishes with Jason and Robert’s top 10s of 2023 (that they’ve seen so far) (33:52).

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.

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).
