  • Send Help
    2026/02/27

    This week, Cam & Dylan break down Send Help, starring chaos magnet Dylan O'Brien, Rachel Mcadams and directed by Sam Raimi.

    After a plane crash leaves two co-workers stranded on a remote island, survival starts as teamwork… and quickly turns into paranoia, ration fights, and “I don't trust you with the last protein bar” energy. As rescue feels less likely, the real battle becomes psychological — how far would you go to make it out alive?

    We debate who the real villain is, whether Dylan could actually lead in a crisis, and how long we'd last before completely losing it.

    Press play. And send help. ️

  • Princess Bride
    2026/02/09

    This week on Xtra Butta, Cam & Dylan finally tackle the most quoted movie of all time: The Princess Bride.

    You know it. You love it. You can't stop saying the lines. We break down how this movie somehow pulls off romance, action, comedy, parody, and comfort-food vibes all at once while also gaslighting an entire generation into thinking sword fights and true love are normal life skills.

    We talk Westley's unmatched “as you wish” levels of devotion, Buttercup's all-time elite stress decision-making, and Inigo Montoya delivering one of the cleanest revenge arcs in cinema history (six fingers still catching strays). Plus: the logic of the poison scene, the absolute chaos of the Fire Swamp, and why every single side character feels like the main character.

    Is this the most rewatchable movie ever? Why does it hit harder the older you get? And how did a movie this unserious become so emotionally bulletproof?

    Inconceivable? Nah. That's just Xtra Butta doing what it does best.

  • Top Movies of 2025
    2026/01/09

    Xtra Butta is back, and this time we're putting 2025 cinema on trial.

    In this episode, Cam & Dylan break down the best and worst movies of 2025, from films that had us leaning forward in our seats to ones that had us checking the runtime every five minutes like it was a hostage situation.

    On the good side, we're showing love to movies like Weapons, Sinners, One Battle After Another, and K‑Pop Demon Hunters — the films that understood the assignment, brought the vibes, and didn't insult our intelligence (mostly).

    Then… we turn to the dark side.
    We talk about HIM and Hurry Up Tomorrow movies that had big ideas, questionable execution, and left us asking, “Who approved this final cut?”

    We argue, we roast, we give credit where it's due, and we ask the important questions like:

    • Did this movie cook… or burn the kitchen down?

    • Is this cinema or content?

    • And how many bad movies can Hollywood release before we start protesting outside AMC?

    If you love movie debates, hot takes, unhinged comparisons, and laughing through the pain of wasted ticket money, this episode is for you.

  • White Christmas
    2025/12/19

    This week on Xtra Butta, Cam & Dylan kick back with a hot mug of nostalgia and dive into the original holiday classic White Christmas (1954) the movie that basically invented cozy Christmas vibes.

    We break down the plot, from two smooth-talking WWII vets turning showbiz partners, to a surprise trip to Vermont that's somehow colder, snow-less, and more charming than it has any right to be. Along the way, we talk about Bing Crosby's all-time legendary croon, Danny Kaye stealing scenes like it's an Olympic sport, and how this movie casually blends romance, music, comedy, and patriotism into one perfectly wrapped holiday package.

    Expect lighthearted discussion on the iconic musical numbers, the fake identities, the low-stakes misunderstandings, and why this movie feels like a warm blanket your grandparents insist you sit through every December… and why they might actually be right. We'll also touch on why “White Christmas” became the Christmas song, how the movie holds up today, and where it lands in the all-time holiday movie conversation.

    It's festive, it's nostalgic, it's low stress — just two guys buttering up a Christmas classic.

  • Gremlins
    2025/12/16

    This week on Xtra Butta, hosts Cam and Dylan tackle one of the most unhinged holiday movies ever made: Gremlins. What starts as a wholesome Christmas gift quickly spirals into total chaos when a cute little Mogwai named Gizmo comes with three simple rules that absolutely no one follows.

    Cam and Dylan break down the full plot of Gremlins, from the snowy charm of Kingston Falls to the moment the town becomes ground zero for pint-sized monsters wreaking havoc during the holidays. They dig into the infamous rules no bright light, no water, and never feed them after midnight and how breaking them turns Christmas cheer into bar brawls, movie-theater massacres, and one of the darkest “Santa Claus” monologues ever put in a film.

    The episode also explores how Gremlins perfectly blends comedy, horror, and Christmas vibes, why it accidentally became a holiday staple, and how its chaos-driven humor still hits just as hard decades later. Is it a family movie? A horror movie? A Christmas classic? Or all of the above?

    Pour some eggnog, keep your Mogwai dry, and join Xtra Butta as Cam and Dylan unwrap a holiday film that proves Christmas can absolutely go off the rails.

    Listener advisory: Never trust a gift from a mysterious old shopkeeper.

  • Matilda
    2025/11/22

    This week on Xtra Butta, Cam and Dylan crack open the VHS vault and dive into the magical, chaotic, and surprisingly emotional world of 1996's Matilda the movie that made every millennial believe two things:

    1. Reading unlocks superpowers

    2. Your principal should never be built like a retired Olympic shot-putter.

    Cam and Dylan break down the film's quirky charm, from Matilda's early genius days (reading Dickens before most of us could read our own names) to the Wormwoods the most aggressively neglectful yet hilarious parents ever portrayed on screen. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman were in their BAG for this movie, serving peak-trashy comedy.

    Of course, no Matilda conversation is complete without talking about Miss Trunchbull the terrifying, chokey-building, child-yeeting villain who straight-up traumatized a whole generation. The guys revisit her most unhinged moments, debate whether she secretly invented CrossFit, and celebrate the triumphant scenes where Matilda finally turns the tables with some telekinetic justice.

    Along the way, Cam & Dylan dive into behind-the-scenes trivia, the film's Roald Dahl roots, why the chocolate cake scene lives rent-free in our heads, and how Miss Honey remains the gold standard for “teacher who actually cares.”

    If you grew up quoting this movie, hiding from Trunchbull in gym class, or wishing you could levitate cereal with your mind, this episode is pure nostalgic comfort food xtra butta included.

    Tune in, laugh with us, and rediscover why Matilda still hits with magic, heart, and just the right amount of childhood chaos.

  • Fun with Dick & Jane
    2025/11/14

    Cam and Dylan are back in the lab spreading talking about one of Jim Carrey's most underrated chaos-fests Fun with Dick and Jane! In this episode, they dive deep into the 2005 comedy where Dick (Carrey) and his wife Jane (Téa Leoni) go from suburban comfort to full-blown heist mode after losing everything thanks to a corrupt company. It's Breaking Bad meets Office Space — but with way more mugging to the camera and less meth.

    The guys break down the film's wild tone shifts, that early-2000s corporate satire energy, and the pure unhinged joy of watching Jim Carrey rob a bank in a ski mask while grinning like a cartoon character. Expect jokes, nostalgic takes, and a few “what would you do if Enron stole your 401(k)?” moments.

    By the end, you'll either be ready to rewatch the movie… or start your own Bonnie & Clyde reboot called HR & Payroll.

  • Candyman
    2025/10/31

    Say his name five times... or just press play once, that's safer. This week on Xtra Butta, Cam and Dylan head straight into the honey-dripping nightmare of the 90s horror classic Candyman. They break down the story of Helen Lyle the curious grad student who clearly never heard the phrase “mind your business” as she dives into Chicago's Cabrini-Green projects and accidentally summons a hook-handed ghost with a serious grudge and a sweet tooth.

    Expect talk about bees, bad decisions, and Tony Todd's legendary voice that could make an audiobook about taxes sound terrifying. The guys dig into what made Candyman such an elevated horror flick the social commentary, the gothic vibe, and the fact that it somehow made everyone scared of mirrors for a decade.

    From jump scares to philosophical stares, Xtra Butta serves up another buttery-smooth breakdown this time topped with a drizzle of honey and a side of “why would you say his name again!?”
