Episode 87 - Theatres are NOT dead! [Mank, Sound of Metal]

We’re back! In the 87th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert open up with their expectations for Spider-Man 3 (or is it 8?) given the recent castings, which swings the discussion to Warner Bros.’ decision to release WONDER WOMAN 1984 in theatres and on streaming services at the same time (5:45). Want to skip straight to the good stuff? It’s a STAR WARS extravaganza with THE MANDALORIAN (19:55, spoiler heavy) right off the top (jet pack?) and Robert’s Wookiepedia story time (27:22). We come back to reality with David Fincher’s biopic MANK (35:01) and Darius Marder’s drama SOUND OF METAL (48:20), about a metal drummer coping with deafness. The next episode will be our wrap-up episode for 2020 so look for that just before the calendar turns! Happy Holidays! Theme music: "Downtown" by Podington Bear. [CC BY-NC 3.0]
