Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized they all shared a passion for movies. Our goal is to save you time and money by sharing our thoughts and recommendations on which movies to race to theaters for, which to watch at home and those to actively avoid. What makes Alternate Ending different from other film podcasts? Well, we're not 5 dudes in a room talking about our passion for Fight Club and Braveheart. We're two dudes, and a lady, of which our tastes are quite varied. Rob, the film-school dropout, has seen an absurd amount of movies, and if we're being honest, rounds out our Fight Club fan-base. Tim Brayton, our seasoned film critic, shares a more critical view of film, an appreciation for vintage cinema and perhaps limited-release movies that we might otherwise miss. Carrie, our casual movie-goer, reminds us all that cinema is in fact supposed to be fun and entertaining and that sometimes, just sometimes, happy endings are good. Too many film sites cater to the same kind of audience, with one overwhelming voice in the writing, but what we treasure at Alternate Ending is diversity: diversity of opinion, diversity in belief about what film should do and how it should do it. We want to celebrate our different opinions, and celebrate yours as well. This isn't a podcast for people who just want to talk about the latest hot new movies in theaters right this minute. This is a place for people who can't get to the theater until the third week a film is out; a place for people who just want to find something great to stream online after the kids have gone to sleep, a place for people whose favorite pastime is to grab a bunch of classic films on DVD from the library and watch them all weekend. It's a place that believes that every great movie is a wonderful new treasure, whether you see it the night of its premiere or fifty years later. It's a site about discovering good movies... one bad movie at a time. Join us for our weekly review of movies worth seeing, worth avoiding and our Top 5 lists – and don't forget to play along at www.alternateending.com.

Shakespeare on Film

mercredi 12 novembre 2025 • Duration 01:53:44

We've been sitting on this idea for a while, but with Chloe Zhao's Oscar hopeful Hamnet opening this month, it seemed like as good a time as any to finally move forward with one of the biggest topics a film podcast can tackle: big-screen adaptations of the work of Elizabethen/Jacobean playwright William Shakespeare, the most-adapted writer in film history on top of being the most famous name in the history of both English drama and English literature. Such a grand subject deserves a bigger crowd, so this week, Tim is joined by no fewer than three Alternate Ending regulars: Gavin McDowell, Brian Fowler, and Caleb Wimble. Together they discuss what makes a good Shakespeare movie, what we should do with adaptations that discard the original text, and why there are such a disproportionately high number of good Macbeths. Before the main event, our regular movie roundtable covers a wide range of movies, as wide as the number of genres good old Billy S. touched on his career: Brian has caught up with Black Phone 2, Gavin celebrates Armistice Day with nice, pleasant WWI/Armenian genocide movie, 2016's The Promise, Caleb has checked out the brand-new Predator: Badlands, and thanks to Patreon supporter Robin Zimmerman, Tim is here to discuss 2015 cult film Turbo Kid.

Bride of AE - The Dentist (1996)

mardi 16 septembre 2025 • Duration 55:20

To kick off the Autumn of Blood, in which they discuss pre-Scream 1990s slashers, Tim and Brennan drill into the 1996 Brian Yuzna joint THE DENTIST!

Pass the Popcorn: Laura | There Was a Father | Survive Style 5+

Season 8 · Episode 23

lundi 22 mai 2023 • Duration 01:26:36

This episode of Pass the Popcorn, we're joined by friend of AE, Zev Burrows to catch up on what movies we've been catching up on. We tried to scare Zev off with our personal burial plans, stomach bugs and the under-appreciated delicacy of spaghetti and cottage cheese ... but he held on like a champ until the end!

In worth mentioning, Zev brings his thoughts on There Was a Father. Tim reviews Evil Dead Rise and Survive Style 5+, by Patreon Christophe Romain's request. Carrie reviews the 1944 classic Laura, requested by Zev.

Make sure to check out Zev's musical stylings at his site - www.zevburrowsmusic.com

Tune in and we hope you enjoy!

Summer 2023 Preview

Season 8 · Episode 21

lundi 8 mai 2023 • Duration 01:08:58

Summer is almost upon us! Indeed with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 already in theaters, summer is arguably already here. But there's still lots of weeks of movies to come, with the most fully-stocked calendar of big tentpoles since 2019. To celebrate, we're casting our gaze forward to share our picks for our most anticipated films of the summer, as well as kick off our annual game of trying to see who can come the closest to predicting the biggest hits at the box office (Rob. It's always Rob). We're looking at indie dramas and Indy tentpoles, artistic cartoons and toy commercial for grown-ups, and maybe, just maybe, Tom Cruise will finally manage to kill himself in front of a movie camera for our collective enjoyment.

Rob's Top 5:
