Butter With That

Alyssa, Connor, and Dave return to Arlen, TX for another installment of our King Of The Hill spinoff, Podcast And Podcast Accessories! This week, Alyssa serves up some chopped chicken liver to go along with episode 18 of season 3, Love Hurts And So Does Art! We discuss the Hill family's neighbors, the Souphanousinphones, Bobby's love of New York deli style food, and Hank's unexpected art "opening"!

While the crew cools their heels, Dave, Connor, and Alyssa continue their exploration of the animated series King Of The Hill as Dave brings presents Hillennium (season 4, episode 10)! We discuss how the Y2K panic gripped Arlen, and the nation, how Dale both succeeds and fails to hoard resources, and togetherness that it sometimes takes a crisis or a holiday to foster. It's a damn find episode, I tell ya what!

As the Butter Crew takes a break following our Epic Movies series, Connor, Dave, and returning guest Alyssa are broadcasting from Arlen, Texas to present Podcast And Podcast Accessories, a sideshow dedicated to exploring the classic animated series King Of The Hill! Over the next several weeks, they'll each be selecting one of their favorite episodes of the show to bring to the group; this week, Connor kicks things off with Hank And The Great Glass Elevator (season 5, episode 11). Listen in as we break down the pathos and poignancy of Bill Dauterive, Hank's stick-in-the-mudness, and Peggy and Bobby's forbidden love of grilling with charcoal!

Concluding our Epic Movies series, Dave throws a curveball with the blockbuster fumble that was 1995's Congo! What do we think of Stan Winston & co.'s gorilla suits/animatronics? What does this movie have to say (or doesn't it say) about conservation, colonialism, and capitalism? Why is the film's "famous" climax so needlessly cruel to these apes?! Fire up the laser-powered podcast app of your choice this week to find out!

Our Epic Movies theme continues its voyage this week with Chrystine's selection, the existential space epic that is 2019's Ad Astra! What are our reads on the balance of sci-fi and deep character investigation? What do we make of the world-building and how it explores the colonization and monetization of the final frontier? And holy sh*t, space baboons?! Strap in and feel the Gs with the crew as we investigate these questions and more!
