In the 116th episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert open with their thoughts on the laughable new crisis management team for this year’s Oscars before launching into our thoughts on the lukewarm ANT-MAN: QUANTUMANIA (4:42). Meanwhile, HBO’s LAST OF US (24:37) has been a big hit, an anomaly in the world of video game adaptations. The episode finishes with Jason and Robert’s top 10 of 2022 (38:24) and a bonus worst movie of the year (1:06:34). Original theme music, intro, and outro

In the 112th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Robert opens with his experience at TIFF 2022 before he and Jason dive into Amazon's THE RINGS OF POWER (3:03) and HBO'S HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (24:33), and why comparing the two fantasy epics is like apples and oranges. (Yes, Milly Alcock's character is Rhaenyra, not Rhaenys - sorry). We then U-turn back to TIFF (32:18) with THE WOMAN KING starring Viola Davis, Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins' EMPIRE OF LIGHT (33:46), the disappointing BUTCHER'S CROSSING

In the 109th episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Robert visits Jason in Vancouver and they go catch a flick... Unfortunately, it was FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE (7:35), the third film of a poorly conceived spin-off franchise that is (hopefully) meeting its merciful end. Robert also reviews Alex Garland's new horror-thriller film, MEN (44:55). There's a lot of discontent in this episode so make sure you listen because misery loves company.
