Butter's Back! - Ep. 171

The Butter Crew is still making its way across the sands of cinema as our Desert Movie theme rolls on with Connor's selection, 2021's Dune! How did Villeneuve and crew create a movie with such a unique level of detail and such a huge sense of scale? How well does this ensemble cast bring their characters off the page and onto the screen, and could more time have been spent on them in this already long film? When will the world finally see Sam's Beetlejuice-Dune Sandworm crossover? We answer these questions and more, so tune in!

The Butter Crew reunite for their new theme: Desert Movies! This week, the gang put the pedal to the metal with Dave's selection, 1981's The Road Warrior (aka Mad Max 2)! How incredible are the practical effects, stunts, and production design of this cult classic? How riveting are George Miller's vision and world building of the post-apocalyptic Wasteland? And where, "in this blighted place", did the Humungous's gang get ahold of so much hair dye? Buckle up as we find out!

The Butter Crew wasn't able to assemble this week, which left Dave (Daves?) to his own devices! Join him as he tumbles headlong into the 1953 Merrie Melodies short Duck Amuck! Is this one of the best and most experimental shorts of the Looney Tunes catalogue? Can an iconic character such as Daffy Duck be recognizable even when stripped of not only their voice, but their physical form? Is Dave ok, or has discussing this classic cartoon warped his brain irrevocably? Tune in and find out if "it makes sense if you think about it"!

Duck Amuck/Dave Amuck - Ep. 168

As our Movies We Dragged Our Parents To theme concludes, we dive into Chrystine's selection, 1995's Waterworld! Could the roles of antagonist and protagonist be any murkier? Why, in a movie that seems to hate everyone, does it hate women so much? Was this conceived as something of a "Mad Max goes surfing"? And do the spectacular technical elements and production design of this "water-flop" warrant a reassessment? We wade into these questions and more this week!

This week as we continue our look back on Movies We Dragged Our Parents To, we're blown to smithereens by Dave's selection, 1996's Independence Day! This movie was a smash-hit blockbuster upon its release, but does it hold up? Can the practical effects hold a candle to today's CGI? Does its ensemble cast bring its best to the film? Is it still as captivating in spite of all its glaring plot holes? The answer to these questions (all yes!) and more, so tune in!

Our Thuds and Duds theme concludes with this week's episode and Dave's selection, 1999's American Beauty! Why were we supposed to like Lester Burnham? Why was this movie such a huge and celebrated phenomenon in a year of other fantastic films? Why were we supposed to like Lester Burnham? Does the film hold up today, or have shifting cultural attitudes and necessary social conversations aged it too much? And WHY...were we supposed to LIKE Lester Burnham? Seriously! Tune in as we "look closer"!

The Thuds and Duds roll on as we discuss Connor's pick, 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse! Even our tech couldn't handle this movie, leading us to rerecord the first half! Join us as we struggle to remember what we had already covered, and struggle to wade through this jumbled mess of a superhero flick! Do we really need this many characters and locations? Why did the same creative team behind the other films undercut their work in this prequel? And why doesn't anybody remember meeting Wolverine? All this and more, so tune in!

A group of friends from Philly come together to discuss all things movies and entertainment!

I absolutely love this podcast! I listen on the bus and people always give me strange looks when this podcast is on because I’ve always got a huge smile on my face and often chuckle to myself. It is entertaining, informative, and relatable even though I’m not a huge movie buff myself! I am never bored by episodes about movies I don’t know and in fact have added many things to my watch list! Highly highly recommend!!!

Look no further for an amazing podcast

I listen to a variety of podcasts and find myself becoming annoyed when the hosts talk excessively about themselves. NOT HERE. Ya’ll rock letting us in on your own experience while not forgetting that you’re in my ears!
I have never listened to anything like this. So unique! So fun! I’m hooked!

The Night of the Comet & What Would You Do During the Apocalypse? - Ep. 42

"Why'd ye spill yer beans.....?" This week Team Butter has something a little different for our listeners this week. Some of us got the chance to see Robert Eggar's (dir. of 2015's The Witch) newest film THE LIGHTHOUSE! For this episode we also are joined by friend of show Tom, who is a maritime enthusiast, and he provides a lot of wonderful insight into this magnificently bizarre movie. We all loved this wild, manic, and beautiful film about Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson's slow dissent into madness. Hear us discuss the themes, inspirations, and what the heck actually happened in the plot!
