Description

Like the popcorn topping that inspired the name, The Extra Buttery Podcast is an often salty, but oh-so-appropriate addition to your movie, TV and pop culture experience. You'll hear Jason and Robert discuss and quarrel over the latest casting news, project announcements, and trailers. You'll hear reviews of films and TV shows both new and old, and maybe some special guests. Extra Buttery uploads monthly, so follow the show and let us know what you think!
