Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

Some topics are just blunt and to the point, and that's just what we've gotten this week from Patreon supporter Granger D Pole, who wants us to go right for the kill: our lists of the worst movies of the 1980s. A decade that has some of the lowest lows in all of cinema history, so expect some real stinkers...unless you're Carrie and decide to opt for some of the most beloved films of the decade. T...

Sometimes, no matter how much money the studios throw at it, a movie just fails. Sometimes, the studio throws a whole lot of money at it before it becomes clear that's happening. And that's how you get, not merely a garden-variety failure, but a bonafide flop, the sort of horrific financial disaster that gets discussed with a giggle of schadenfreude in the trade press and passed around as a cautio...

Happy October, everybody! In honor of the swift approach of Halloween, we are covering a classic horror movie that each co-host has never seen before!

This week's topic was a doozy - but we were up for the challenge, as we picked our way through The Best and Worst Years for Movies, courtesy of Patreon Andrew Johnson.  Some years achieve legendary status right away, like the annus mirabilis of 1999; some grow their reputation with age and respectability, like the Hollywood golden epoch of 1939. Some years, there are pandemics and/or major industr...

It's a Patreon-palooza  this week thanks to Gavin ( Society ), Ann Yourell ( The Mirror Has Two Faces ), Travis ( The Hill ) and Carl Beasley ( Secrets of the Hot Spring ).  It was a bit of a Goldilocks story on this episode, with some movies being incredibly enjoyable, some just so-so and then so bad you want to light yourself on fire. Which movie falls where? Tune in to find out! ***************...

"Every movie's a circus", in the words of a song from the proudly mediocre Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Blvd. But we're going to be a little bit more selective than that. At the request of Patreon supporter Carl Beasley, this episode focuses on on our top 5 circus movies: movies celebrating the wonderful entertainment form that has made such a rich pageant out of exploiting people with unusu...

This episode came a week later than expected, due to unforeseen, lower than expectations reviews of the Indiana Jones series from the Jarosinski children.  With an extra week gone by, we were prepared to face the situation head on. Sort of. Thoughts differ on Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny, but thankfully Tim finds it in his heart to only break Carrie's heart in written form and mostly spare her f...

Hardcore Alternate Ending heads will remember one of our signature moments early in the life of the podcast was a baffling "Who's On First" style catastrophe of a discussion that swirled around the fact that Pontius Pilate, historical Roman governor of Judaea and major figure in the Christian Gospels, has a name that can be misinterpreted as sounding like he's an airplane pilot. One person who def...
