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).

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)
