Jason is again joined by his New England Natives partner Tom Boo-no, and while we probably spent too much time talking about having sex with our wives, we eventually settle into a discussion of movies we love at Halloween. Do we prefer realistic horror that could happen in the real world, or are supernatural horrors more scary? What movies has Jason shown his young kids this season? What movies do...

Not all horror films are Halloween staples. Jason is joined by his New England Natives cohost Tom Bruno for a discussion on the best films for Halloween, and what does a film need to make it right for watching around Halloween?

Jason is joined by Jodie B of Po' Boys podcast , who has suggested that they watch and review the 2002 comedy "Death to Smoochy" starring Robin Williams and Edward Norton and directed by Danny DeVito. This review is as funny as it is insightful - Jason & Jodie B offer up genuine film insight along with profanity and drug use. Listen now! Support Team Alme on Patreon if you’re a cool kid. Patre...

I went to see a movie in a theater for the first time in like 7 months! It was exciting, and I saw Late Night with the Devil. I liked it a lot so it was hard to find bad things to say about it, but I tried my best. Please listen!

I watched Damsel on Netflix and it wasn't great, which makes me unhappy. But it gave me a lot to complain about in this episode, which makes me happy again. But then I spent 20 minutes talking about Damsel so now I'm back to being unhappy. My mom observed that I say the "F" word a lot of times in this episode, which is due to the effect Damsel's overall quality had on me, I suppose. Please conside...

I saw Oppenheimer once, like 7 months ago. And I was smacked up on shrooms at the time, so let that be known. But I'm bout no shame in my game, so peep this review anyway. I think it will make you giggle. Become a patron of Team Alme ! It’s totally worth it.

I watched an hour of Poor Things before recording this, so it is a woefully underinformed review that I nonetheless stand by. (I've seen the rest of the movie now, my review still stands.) This is a salty and profane review of Emma Stone's performance in Poor Things. Please consider supporting Team Alme on Patreon - you will have access to bonus features including feature commentaries with full vi...

Joining Jason today is the Angry Dad , who shares his expertise in wildly violent and inappropriate (yet obscure) anime. Together we discuss a film he recommended: Dead Leaves , a hyper-stylized, super-kinetic anime of the mid-00s. It's absolutely worth the watch, and in this episode of Movie Mass, Ben and Jason will share their thoughts and analysis. Watch Dead Leaves if you dare! Please consider...

After listening to this episode of Movie Mass, you will not be able to deny that Prince Charming is a (mostly) selfless hero (probably). At any rate, I'm certain I make at least one semi-good point that you haven't thought of before. Please consider becoming a patron of Team Alme to view all of my live audio commentaries alongside the movie as it plays! Check out our YouTube channel !

Jason yaps about John Wick 4 because he managed to see a movie on release day for once and he wants to brag about it. It's a miracle he keeps this to under a half hour. Even still, it's a good review of a brand new movie and there's no spoilers so listen up! Support us on Patreon if you’re cool!

I’ll tell you all about the time I was WHACKED on pain meds and revisited Brian DePalma’s Scarface only to experience a Zen Awakening: it’s actually a pretty terrible movie!

We give commentary on the state of the DCEU and cinematic universes in general. We also rank the actors who have played Batman and the live-action Batman films. Do we get it right or will you vehemently disagree and yell at your iPod like the boomer you are?  A...

Today Jason discusses the ethics on display in Martin Scorsese's recent masterpiece: The Wolf of Wall Street. We all know Jordan Belfort and his crew engage in constant wrongdoing in The Wolf of Wall Street - but why? What ethical mistakes does Jordan make? Does money make Jordan happy, or make him a better person? Or does money simply enable Jordan to plumb the depths of his own hedonism? Please...

Martin Scorsese’s recent comments on superhero films led to a viewing of what I consider to be his seminal work: 1990’s GoodFellas. DJ (from The Untrained Eye podcast) joins me for his first viewing of the film, and we discuss: - What is cinema? - Street cred - Italian American stereotyping - Sausage n peppahs - How did the Sopranos fix the the television industry? - What are the best lines in Goo...

Today we pontificate on the values of Deadpool 2. In what way is it a family film? Does it live up to its predecessor? What was the funniest death?
