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 featuring Nicolas Cage (39:06), Palme d'Or winner TRIANGLE OF SADNESS (43:56) and Rob's favourite, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN (49:25).

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.
