Season 2 Episode 7 - 2022: A Teaser
Hello, 2022!! It’s that time of year where optimism is top of mind and resolutions are….thrown out the window? The Layered Butter Podcast is back and in this year’s first week back to the airwaves, Rod, Raf and Jordan take a look back and even get a little personal to reflect on their 2021 selves…and by that they mean their letterboxd watch lists and if going back to the theatre is really worth (dying) for. It’s resolution time, right? Do we have what it takes to go back to the movie theatre experience? Complete darkness, that giant screen, surround sound….or is that Rodrigo’s living room? Maybe two of our three hosts are going to the movies – let’s check back at the halfway point in the year if Rod’s still there. Maybe we can resolute to being more open to films – like Words on Bathroom Walls (this is a real movie) or….not? Even if we can’t, at least we have a new slate of films coming out for 2022, whether we’ll hate them, we’ll love them or never see them because of COVID, at least we have something to look forward to! We’ve got new films from Cameron, Scorsese, Aronofsky, Aster and even Miyazaki coming out – and we have to wonder, is Avatar 2 really worth the wait? Is this finally the year of Brendan Fraser with The Whale? Or maybe Marvel will just give Raimi free reign after Doctor Strange 2. Who knows! In addition, are stunt ensembles long overdue for recognition? How about Andy Serkis and motion capture? And two fans take on the industry when they were bamboozled to find their queen out of a final cut. All this and much more in our return to the airwaves in this episode of Layered Butter!
