  • 120. Harry Styles with Theresa Cambeis

    He's taken the world by storm. He's topping music charts. He's selling out shows left and right. He's spitting on Nick Kroll. And finally, he's the topic of an episode of Almigos.

    In this episode, the duo are joined by Certified Harry Styles Stan (or "Harry" as the fanbase calls it) Theresa Cambeis to tackle the pop culture phenom. They talk about Harry's career, from his humble beginnings as a member of a boy band, to Billboard powerhouse, to aspiring actor (spoiler alert- he isn't very good at it). They talk about his role in the lexicon, his booming career, and his recent antics on movie sets and press tours. It's Harry-mania on Almigos!!

  • 118. Comfort Films with Jess Nivelo

    The days are getting shorter, the skies are getting grayer and the weather getting colder. It's the perfect time of the year to snuggle up under a nice blanket, get a cup of hot chocolate and fire up some plesant movies!!

    This week, the duo are joined by Al's better half, Jess Nivelo, to chat about their comfort movies. The movies they've seen a million times and just always leave them with that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

  • 116. Obscure Horror Movies with Matthew Thurman Benson and Eve Waters Smith

    Summer is coming to a close and Fall is nigh! To celebrate the time of change, spookiness, sweater weather, football and pumpkin spice, we give you one of the most seasonal episodes in the history of Almigos!

    Recorded while Jon is drafting in one of his fantasy leagues, the duo host the couple with the coolest combination of names ever, one a first timer and one an Almigos alum. Al's longtime friend, Matthew Benson, and his girlfriend, Eve Smith, have recently moved here from sunny Los Angeles, and they join the Alimgos duo to talk about horror films.

    The theme this time is obscure horror movies, and there's some gems in here- Everything from movies that'll make you keep the lights on and movies that are so terrible you'll be laughing your ass off. It's a fun time as always on this episode!

  • 115. Fitness with Joe Bitetto

    The duo is joined by long time friend and now 3x Almigos guest Joe Bitetto! In a departure from the usual pop culture heavy topics, this one gets a little more personal. Joe opens up about his fitness journey, personal struggles, highs, lows, goals and more.

    And then, because we are contractually obligated to tie this back into movies, we round the episode by testing Joe on his knowledge of actor's health. We play a game of "Natty or Not" where we show Joe a pic of a shredded celebrity and he must deduce whether they are natural or not. It's a fun and suprisingly heartfelt episode that you won't want to miss.
