It Stinks! A Movie Mass Review of "Rebel Moon Part 2"
May 29, 2024 17:29 - 12 minutes - 15.1 MBI watched Rebel Moon part 2: The Naptaker. It was AGGRESSIVELY mediocre! I never saw part 1 because F that S bruh.

It Stinks! A Movie Mass Review of "Late Night with the Devil"
April 22, 2024 17:28 - 15 minutes - 14.8 MBI 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!

It Stinks! A Movie Mass Review of "Damsel"
April 19, 2024 18:53 - 23 minutes - 27 MBI 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 consider supporting Team Alme on Patreon!

It Stinks! A Movie Mass Review of "Oppenheimer"
March 26, 2024 20:08 - 10 minutes - 12 MBI 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.
It Stinks: A Movie Mass Review of "Poor Things"
March 17, 2024 16:27 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MBI 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 video of the films, something I can really only get away with on Patreon.
Proselytizing Dead Leaves
March 13, 2024 03:02 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBJoining 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!

Everyone is Wrong About Snow White
November 04, 2023 02:22 - 22 minutes - 25.9 MBAfter 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!

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?
