In the 89th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert discuss the first two episodes of WandaVision, which asks more questions than it answers, before jumping into our Top 10 films of the year (so far). Our lists are subject to change as we await new releases, but check our discussion starting (4:46) before running down the full list (45:10). The episode ends with some extra butter -- films that we disliked or hated or bored us out of our minds (48:54). We will discuss and publish our

Happy New Year! In the 88th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert wrap up 2020 with the holiday releases. Unfortunately, most of it came with capital-D Disappointment and a side of unbuttered popcorn. We begin by questioning the decision to include L__ S______ in the season finale of The Mandalorian (2:08, Wookiepedia time: 11:44) before moving onto even more curious screenwriting decisions in Wonder Woman 1984 (19:18). George Clooney made another snoozer in The Midnight Sky

We’re back! In the 87th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert open up with their expectations for Spider-Man 3 (or is it 8?) given the recent castings, which swings the discussion to Warner Bros.’ decision to release WONDER WOMAN 1984 in theatres and on streaming services at the same time (5:45). Want to skip straight to the good stuff? It’s a STAR WARS extravaganza with THE MANDALORIAN (19:55, spoiler heavy) right off the top (jet pack?) and Robert’s Wookiepedia story time (27:22)

“YADDLE MAKES ANOTHER APPEARANCE!” In the 86th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert discuss RONIN and 47 RONIN (loosely connected) … then, yup, it’s a tangent as Robert drones on about his custom (!) tweed jacket. The episode officially begins with a lengthy discussion about romantic crime drama QUEEN & SLIM (7:40, *spoilers* between 18:19-19:52), and Chapters 10 and 11 of THE MANDALORIAN (21:46).

Is this the Heath Ledger appreciation hour? In the 85th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert open up with an extended talk about the timeless medieval comedy, A KNIGHT’S TALE (now on Netflix), and where it fits in Ledger’s legacy. After the intro and – tangent alert! – Robert proudly revealing his pumpkin spice obsession, we move onto Season 2 of THE MANDALORIAN (10:20) where we discuss the show’s surprising lack of divisiveness among Star Wars fans, an introduction to Yaddle (not

What’s your favourite movie so far this year? In the 84th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert wonder how the delayed releases of big-time movies will affect award races. Then they move on to a wrap-up of VIFF with Viggo Mortensen’s directorial debut FALLING (3:32, *minor spoilers*) and ANOTHER ROUND (10:34), a Danish film from Thomas Vinterberg about four schoolteachers who get hammered at work. We discuss our final thoughts on the slower, more methodical Season 2 of THE BOYS
