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).

We kick off with a belated discussion (spoilers!) on THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER (8:50) and why it didn't work, Jordan Peele's new thriller NOPE (27:48), the messy and chaotic BULLET TRAIN (37:23), and two TV show recommendations with HBO's cringe docu-comedy THE REHEARSAL (50:13) and Netflix's Korean import about an autistic lawyer in EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO (57:15).

After a fun start, it's off to JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION (21:47) an absolute mess of a once-beloved franchise. We then cap it all off with a TV "lightning round" with OBI-WAN KENOBI (40:37), MS. MARVEL (52:28), THE BOYS (56:46) and STRANGER THINGS (59:46)

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.

We then jump to DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS (30:12, includes spoilers) and provide brief thoughts about HBO's WINNING TIME (50:50), a dramatized and controversial retelling of the Lakers' Showtime dynasty, and Richard Linklater's APOLLO 10 1⁄2 (55:42).

In the 105th episode of the Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert open with a brief discussion about future video game adaptations before taking a deep dive into UNCHARTED (3:42), which ironically does nothing new or particularly exciting.

In the 104th episode of The Extra Buttery Podcast, Jason and Robert discuss why THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT just isn’t quite working in the cold open before they debate the merits of MATRIX RESURRECTIONS (5:39).
