Butter With That

Hey Butter-lovers! This week we wrap up our Scary Movie series with Chrystine's selection, 1993's Cronos! Join us as we discuss del Toro's debut film, his famed balance of horror and whimsey, keen attention to detail and mythos, and Ron Perlman's desperate desire for a nose-job!

Hey there, Butter-believers! Continuing our Scary Movies theme, Dave throws a bit of a curve-ball with 1988's Dead Heat! Listen in as we cover the film's unbelievable violence, hit-and-miss '80s quips, and whether it hits the mark of a horror movie or if it's just a bonkers, zombie-filled buddy-cop action flick! And what's up with all these fishtanks?!

Hey there, Butter-barons! This week we continue our Scary Movie theme with Connor's selection, 2016's Hush! Join us as we unpack Mike Flanagan and Kate Siegel's home invasion thriller, whether we prefer mystery or backstory, how effective the film's use of sound and silence are, and the publicly acknowledged role-play of this married horror-duo!

Hey there, Butter-banshees! It's October and we're a podcast, so you know what that means: scary season has returned! This week, our friend and special guest Adaeze of sibling podcast Disney Deviants presents 2014's It Follows! Tune in as we explore this creepy flick's stunning photography, not-so-stunning dialogue, its sense of atmosphere and dread, and how we would individually rank it! And be sure to check out Disney Deviants's stellar catalogue, like their recent Halloweentown episode featuring our own Chrystine!

Hey Butter-besties! Continuing our Production Nightmares series, Sam brings us 1982's Poltergeist! Tune in as we discuss this supposedly cursed production, whether or not we believe in the curse, and how people unpack tragedy in connection to great art! Is it a Hooper film or a Spielberg film, and does that ultimately matter? All this and an email from a former guest!

Hey there, Butter-buffs! This week Chrystine brings us a real gem for our Production Nightmares theme, 1999's American Movie! Listen in as we unpack this compelling documentary about outsider ambition, familial cooperation, and the story of a community taking on an aspiring filmmaker's vision! Plus, what small-budget indie film story would WE pursue? Tune in to find out!

Hey Butter-brethren! As we continue discussing Production Nightmares, Connor brings us 1975's thalassophobic masterpiece Jaws! Tune in as we cover the calamitous production of the film from drunken, tax-dodging cast members, to the hurdles of shooting at sea, to Bruce, the ever-malfunctioning mechanical shark, and find out how these frustrating elements produced one of the finest films of the 1970s!

Hey there Butter-boosters! This week we shift gears into our new theme, Production Nightmares! Tune in this week as the team tries to untangle the sordid mess behind 2001's Don's Plum! From industry naivete, to sabotage, to the insane history of the Pu...(clears throat) the Posse, we work our way down to the bare bones of this doomed production!

Holy moly! It's three years since the launch of Butter With That, and the crew have come together to celebrate the occasion! Join us as we revisit several past movies we individually missed out on, revive our "whiteboard" open-ended Q&A segment, and reminisce about how we all got here! Stay tuned, and thank you so much for celebrating three years of podcasting with us!

Hey Butter-boosters! This week, we're bringing you the first ever Butter With That clip show! Yes, it's come to this. Join Dave in his spacious den for a glass of wine and some...popcorn (? ...Okay.) as he regales us with some early highlights of the podcast! And be sure to tune in next week when we (hopefully) bring you the actual big spectacular!
