Anime Was (Not) A Mistake produces a Sinister Six episode, guaranteed to make any listener go bananas with Congo (1995). Leave it to Dan to choose a movie by, for, and starring (at least in a unconvincing suit) primates. However this move has it all. Gorillas, Diamonds, Laser Guns, and Laura Linney? Yes you read that right. Amy podcast good? Join us for the adventure action flick that left Hollywood swinging and please make sure you put a dupe in the banana. You won't regret it.

Episode 130: One Piece Film: Gold
Sunday Sep 26, 2021
Sunday Sep 26, 2021
On today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, we're hedging our bets and joining the Straw Hat Pirates for another cinematic adventure. In One Piece Film: Gold, Luffy and his friends travel to a massive casino ship known as the Gran Tesoro. After losing a deadly wager with Gild Tesoro, the owner of the ship and wielder of the Gold-Gold Fruit, the Straw Hats plan an elaborate heist in order to save Zoro and beat the house. Of course, things don't go exactly as planned. Instead, they might need a little extra luck in order to take down Tesoro and free his many captives. All that glitters may not be gold, but anime was (probably) not a mistake.

Episode 128 - AWNAM: Sinister Six VI: Money Plane (2020)
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
Our latest Sinister Six event continues and the stakes have quite literally never been higher. Fate has forced us to take a look at Money Plane, a film made by people who don't understand money or planes. In this aerial heist movie, a skilled (?) thief named Jack is blackmailed into robbing the legendary Money Plane. Anything goes on the Money Plane when it comes to gambling, whether you're playing Smash singles or Settlers of Catan. The entire scheme is organized by Darius "The Rumble" Grouch III, as portrayed by Kelsey Grammer in a separate movie. But for Jack's team and even the Rumble himself, this flight plan might encounter a little turbulence. You might want to keep an air sickness bag ready for today's installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, where our Plan A is never quite as good as our Plan B.
