| 4/15/26 | ![]() Episode 139 - "Are you jealous you don't have this for Vancouver?" [Project Hail Mary, Hoppers] | In the 139th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert discuss and give their first impressions on the HARRY POTTER remake, and how it all feels too familiar despite a brand-new cast and format. We then take a deep dive into PROJECT HAIL MARY (7:50), the first hit movie of the year starring Ryan Gosling as a high-school-teacher-turned-reluctant-astronaut tasked with saving the solar system based on the book by Andy Weir. Jason and Robert discuss what worked and what didn't, why they felt differently about the ending, and how this film might've been different with a different director. We move on to Pixar's newest animal-centric entry, HOPPERS (28:41), Gore Verbinski's GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE (44:50), and finish with Robert's proclaimed "Canadian classic" NIRVANNA: THE BAND - THE SHOW - THE MOVIE (50:30).Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | ![]() Episode 138 - "A candy cane kaleidoscope of colours!" [Best and Worst of 2025 & Oscars Predictions] | In the 138th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert discuss all the right things MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE has going for it in Mattel's newest entry in their cinematic toy universe, which opens June 5. Then they share their top 10 and worst 5 lists of 2025 (9:29) and go through their preliminary Oscar picks (28:03), for films they think will win and films they think should win.Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 12/23/25 | ![]() Episode 137 - Holiday Catch-Up [The Running Man, Sentimental Value, Jay Kelly, Knives Out 3] | In the 137th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert open with a long discussion about the pros and cons of the Oscars moving to YouTube. We then discuss why THE RUNNING MAN (15:13) was a flop (that maybe didn't deserve to flop). We then focus on the understated family drama from Joachim Trier in SENTIMENTAL VALUE (30:27), the George Clooney-driven JAY KELLY (37:11), yet another effective action thriller in the Predator franchise from Dan Trachtenberg's PREDATOR: BADLANDS (49:36), and close out with Rian Johnson's WAKE UP DEAD MAN (1:01:13)Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||

| 9/22/25 | ![]() Episode 135 - "The cat was probably the star of the movie." [CAUGHT STEALING feat. Marina Bennett] | In the 135th episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert reunite in Vancouver once again and welcome back special guest Marina Bennett to discuss Darren Aronofsky's newest film CAUGHT STEALING. Austin Butler stars as washed-up baseball prospect caught up between rival gangs. But does Matt Smith steal the show? Are Liev Schreiber and Vincent D'Onofrio the Hasidic gangsters we never knew we needed? Original theme music, intro and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 8/16/25 | ![]() Episode 134 - PART 2 - "I wanna see some more weird, messed-up freaks." [F1: THE MOVIE, JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH] | In the second part of the blockbuster 134th episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Robert and Jason begin with the very formulaic but still thrilling F1: THE MOVIE (1:20) before the meat (hehe) of the episode with JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH (12:49), exploring how truly lame and uninteresting the famed dinosaur franchise has become.Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 8/15/25 | ![]() Episode 134 - PART 1 - "There's no such thing as work-life balance when you're Superman." | In the first part of the blockbuster 134th episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Robert and Jason discuss the latest SUPERMAN (4:44) from James Gunn, the hard left turn it takes from the previous iterations, and how Krypto the Superdog takes over. The superhero conversation continues with the newest entry in the exhaustive MCU with THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS (45:11) and reasons why it might not be the big clobberin' hit Marvel needs to revive moviegoers from superhero fatigue. Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 6/28/25 | ![]() Episode 133 - "Ethan Hunt is not a horny individual!" [M:I - The Final Reckoning, Materialists, Ballerina] | In the 133rd episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Robert surprises Jason with news about a sequel to ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, which will NOT be directed by Quentin Tarantino, and the potential return of the fantastic MINDHUNTERS. We start with MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING (or is it Dead Reckoning Part 2?) (8:43) and why the series doesn't end with the bang you're expecting; the brilliant once-in-a-lifetime ANDOR (35:40); Robert's lukewarm reception to the THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (50:07) despite being a big Wes Anderson fan; romantic drama THE MATERIALISTS (56:49), Celine Song's follow-up to the critically-acclaimed PAST LIVES; and FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN WICK: BALLERINA (1:03:39), which may or may not lead to a bigger cinematic Wick-ervese. Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 5/12/25 | ![]() Episode 132 - "I call dibs on your Criterion Collection!" [ANDOR, THUNDERBOLTS, SINNERS & more] | In the 132nd episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert wonder how the TV adaptation of Harry Potter will be received and how different it will be from the movies. They also catch up on arguably the best Star Wars show ever, ANDOR (8:41), and the latest season of THE LAST OF US (24:05). Both also agree that THUNDERBOLTS* (35:20) is a nice addition to the MCU before finishing with Ryan Coogler's excellent SINNERS (46:25), Rob's top pick spy thriller BLACK BAG (55:14), pseudo-superhero-action-turned-buddy-comedy THE ACCOUNTANT 2 (1:01:45) and share why WARFARE (1:06:16) falls short of director Alex Garland's previous work.Original theme music, intro and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 3/24/25 | ![]() Episode 131 - "It's good to bring on a true hater for a change." [MICKEY 17, feat. Marina Bennett] | In the 131st episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert welcome special guest Marina Bennett and take a deep dive into Bong Joon-Ho's MICKEY 17. What was Bong trying to say and why didn't it work? Were our expectations too high? Do Mark Ruffalo's veneers deserve a Best Actor nomination?! What was Ylfa's obsession with Creeper sauce?!? So many, many things to discuss.Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||

| 2/14/25 | ![]() Episode 130 - "If you're not gonna be too cranky..." [OSCARS 2025, NOSFERATU, A REAL PAIN, THE APPRENTICE] | In the 130th episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert open with an extended discussion of the Oscar nominations focusing on why EMILIA PEREZ feels like GREEN BOOK redux and the much-deserved buzz surrounding ANORA. We then discuss: the ever-interesting Robert Eggers' NOSFERATU (19:58); Jesse Eisenberg's indie drama A REAL PAIN (25:20); Bob Dylan biopic and Oscar bait for Timothée Chalamet, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN (31:03); Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong's excellent performances in the Donald Trump biopic, THE APPRENTICE (39:50). The episode finishes with a quick rundown of our most highly-anticipated films of the year, in what should be an exciting slate for 2025.Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 12/23/24 | ![]() Episode 129 - "One of the more unnecessary sequels." [GLADIATOR II, ANORA, DUNE: PROPHECY] | In the 129th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert discuss being tempted by bad Christmas movies, before taking a deep, deep dive into GLADIATOR II (11:36) and why it was ultimately disappointing. Sean Baker's raucous and sometimes hilarious ANORA (29:56), however, wasn't disappointing at all. We then run through awards favourites (42:06) and finish with some DUNE PROPHECY (46:14) and JUROR NO. 2 (53:26). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 11/13/24 | ![]() Episode 128 - "Every time he opens his mouth, you're cringing." [TIFF, VIFF, MEGALOPOLIS, JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX] | 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 | — | ||||||
| 10/3/24 | ![]() Episode 127 - "Your Alec Guinness sounds drunk!" [ALIEN: ROMULUS, DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE, THE ACOLYTE] | 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 | — | ||||||

[FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA, HIT MAN, INSIDE OUT 2] | 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. Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 5/23/24 | ![]() Episode 125 - "I get a kick out of characters who find sadism funny" [CIVIL WAR, FALLOUT, REBEL MOON PT. 2] | 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). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 4/12/24 | ![]() Episode 124 - "Then someone makes a popcorn bucket you want to f***!" [DUNE: PART 2] ft. Matt Whalen | 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. Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||

[MADAME WEB, Top 10 of 2023] | 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). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 2/3/24 | ![]() Episode 122 - "Why is he wearing a necktie and a shirt in space?" [GODZILLA MINUS ONE, AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM, REBEL MOON, POOR THINGS] | 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. Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 12/15/23 | ![]() Episode 121 - "Somewhere along the line, they got lost." [Killers of the Flower Moon, The Marvels, The Holdovers] | 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). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 10/31/23 | ![]() Episode 120 - “I have a problem and I’m trying to fix it.” [The Creator, Ahsoka, Dumb Money] | In the 120th episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert rattle off movies they’re looking forward to over the winter months and into the holiday season before taking a deep dive into THE CREATOR (10:44), discussing the incredible production value despite a modest budget, the battle between humans vs. AI, Asian representation, and the Vietnam War imagery. We continue with more sci-fi with AHSOKA (32:32) and why it falters because it tries to be both a show for adults and kids. Then we finish with DUMB MONEY (57:38) and the impact of the meme stock craze. Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 8/24/23 | ![]() Episode 119 - "It hit every single note." [Oppenheimer, Barbie, M:I 7, Indy 5] | In the 119th episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Robert quizzes Jason with a lightning round of “real movie or not?” (And, sorry, the Mattel toy is Mighty Max, not Mad Max). We start with the instant classic OPPENHEIMER (9:31) and move on to BARBIE (37:07), and discuss how Barbenheimer has hurt MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (49:10) and its many faults. We finish with INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (1:07:40) and ASTEROID CITY (1:23:22). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 6/26/23 | ![]() Episode 118 - “I don’t care anymore. Nobody stays dead.” [Succession S4, Blackberry, Fast X, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse] | In the 118th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert’s attempt at the cold open begins with the writers’ strike and somehow ends up reminiscing about their youth. Anyway, they open with SUCCESSION (4:05) and why Tom Wambsgams was tabbed to win from the very beginning, and kick off the movies segment with BLACKBERRY (16:38), a Canadian hit about a Canadian has-been. It’s a lot better than FAST X (26:54), which has forced Jason to abandon his fandom for the “family.” Fortunately, things look up with SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE (43:19) and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 (50:51). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 4/30/23 | ![]() Episode 117 - "This might be his worst acting performance. Ever." [Creed III, John Wick 4, Super Mario Bros., The Mandalorian S3, Succession S4] | In the 117th episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert open with a discussion about the upcoming writers’ strike and the impact of AI-produced scripts, but harken to The Architect’s warning about how computer errors are inevitably made by humans. We start the episode with CREED III (5:02), Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut and possibly Jonathan Majors’ last big feature role, and segue to Keanu Reeves’ (final?) appearance in the action-packed (and unintentionally hilarious?) JOHN WICK 4 (14:07). Our jam-packed episode continues with DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES (27:20), THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE (36:36), THE MANDALORIAN (44:20), get sidetracked with Star Wars talk, then finish with HBO’S SUCCESSION (53:00). Original theme music, intro, and outro composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
| 3/12/23 | ![]() Episode 116 - “It’s almost funnier when it goes wrong. They should embrace it” [ANT-MAN: QUANTUMANIA, THE LAST OF US, TOP 10 OF 2022] | 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 composed and performed by Michael Spicer | — | ||||||
