Episode 96 - "It's a big ball of worms." [Loki, The Tomorrow War, Luca]

In the 96th episode of The Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert open with Richard Donner’s death and how SUPERMAN made an impact on the modern superhero films. We then hop on the TemPad and enter the Marvel universe with a discussion about Disney+’s LOKI (4:15) and the mass confusion in plots that involve time travel, then stay in-house with Pixar’s LUCA (17:33) and why it lacks that Pixar magic. Skip ahead to THE TOMORROW WAR (29:41) for the meat of the episode, a sci-fi action film about how a basic white dude and his rag-tag team of unlikely heroes save Earth from a terrifying (but cool) group of alien monsters in a screenplay borrowed from, like, 10 other movies.
