Almigos

This week on Almigos, one of our all-time favorite guests Alexa Pastor stops by to talk our favorite action movie heroes. This is a hard one folks, as Jon loves his 80's cheese and one-liners and I prefer our heroes with a bit more grit. I hope you enjoy this episode and have a Happy Thanksgiving.   

Feels so good to be back after a short break as Almigos returns in time for Halloween to talk about the movies that made turning off the lights a bit harder at night. Jon and I revisit some of the movies that left us terrified or left a serious uneasy impact the whole runtime. Have a spooky Halloween! 

For the first time in Almigos history, Al is not here! This episode was recorded when Al was on vacation so Jon brought along returning guest James Conti to have themselves a time. Join them as they discuss one of the most controversial and hilarious shows of all time: South Park!   

This week on Almigos we look a few months ahead into the future to look at what the rest of the year has to offer. Oscar contenders are starting to peak their head with such films as The Lighthouse, Joker, and The Irishman. This was a fun episode to do catching up over the last few weeks and what upcoming films we are the most excited for. 

Almigos officially has hit 75 episodes and we could not be more happy to announce The Filmmenials Youtube Channel! This is something Jon and I have both been looking forward too for a long time and extremely excited to talk about. The Filmmenials will be a look back and revisiting some of our childhood favorites and whether or not they hold up. So to celebrate this announcement this week we're goi...

We gave you more than enough time to see Quentin Tarantino's 9th film: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This week special guest Joe Scanni returns to the show to talk everything OUATIH and what we thought of the film.  

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has finally been released and marks the 9th film by legendary director Quentin Tarantino. This week Jon and I look back on Tarantino's historic filmography and pick our top 5 favorite scenes he's made. That means lots of blood, obscure pop songs and long conversations about royale's with cheese. 

We all love a happy ending, where the couple throughout our story overcome their obstacles and live happily ever after. These are not the movies we are talking about today. This week, Jon and I go break down some of the most tragic and doomed romances ever put to film and why we love them so much. 

Alright, Folks, we have officially passed the halfway point of 2019 and it is shaping up to one great year for movies.

So yeah enjoy this episode where we talk about 30 differe...

This week on Almigos, Jon and I go in depth about the state and future of streaming services. Can Netflix and Hulu last with Disney's upcoming streaming service releasing in late 2019? Has the market stagnated due to lack of innovation within the market? This is definitely a topic that goes into a lot of different aspects so listen in and hear our thoughts!

Finally, we are done talking about the MCU and have moved on back to our regularly scheduled programming. This week on Almigos, we are talking about music infused films. Not music bio-pics, that is an episode for another day and films where music is infused within them. Think of films like A Star is Born, La La Land and Begin Again. Hope you find a movie you didn't know about and fall in love with...

Well, we gave you two weeks if you're one of the 3 people in the world who hasn't seen it: enter at your own risk. Avengers Endgame has finally arrived and it is everything we wanted it to be. It is a somewhat messy but amazing closing chapter to the first story arc of the MCU started 11 years ago. Taylor Amato returns to see how our predictions panned out as well as our thoughts on the film. Don'...

We truly are in the endgame now! Avengers Endgame is 4 days away and we brought on special guest Taylor Amato to talk about predictions, deaths and some of the biggest moments from arguably the biggest movie of the decade! We know all your doing this week is thinking about the movie anyway so listen to us as you try to kill time all week til your showtime!

The hype for Endgame is unreal and it's coming a lot sooner than you think. So Jon and I decided to go back and rank all 22 of the previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films to decide which is the best. I mean Jon is completely wrong in his entire listing but yeah why not give it a listen anyway 

Usually, on Almigos we have a tight script and outline of where we want our episode to go. On this episode, Jon and I got a 12 pack and talked all over the place for a while. We discuss some of the big movies that have come out recently Captain Marvel, Us, Shazam and some of the movies we're looking forward to this summer.

Yep its that time of year again: The Oscars. For film fans, it's our Superbowl and the time where all we do is complain and say how the Oscars don't matter but regardless we still watch. Jon and I are going in depth in most of the major categories and what we thought of the winners, losers and snubs. 

Yep it another debate episode, this time Jon and I try to figure out who is the more influential and better director: David Fincher or Christopher Nolan. Fincher's resume reads like posters off college dorm rooms (Fight Club) and some of the most gripping thrillers of our generation (Seven, Gone Girl). While Nolan's resume has been looked over as some of the most creative and popular movies in dec...

This week Jon and I went through the trenches of films to bring you some awesome hidden gems you might not have known about. Every year there are a handful of films that are amazing in quality but tend to be overlooked or overshadowed by the blockbusters. We picked some of our favorites for you to check out so yeah go do that. 

We gave you a year for it to soak in, analyze it, and gather your thoughts because this week Almigos dives into one of the most debated movies of the last decade: The Last Jedi.

This week on Almigos, special guest Mike Reis returns to show to talk about one of the most popular shows on T.V right now: Rick and Morty. The show is one of the most interesting to come out in the last few years, blending sci-fi, crude humor and well all the weird fucked up stuff that come out of the minds of Justin Roland and Dan Harmon. So get ready to get Riggty Riggity Wrecked Son!
