Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

It's time for one of our favorite annual traditions, the summer preview episode! We always love to try to predict what upcoming releases we're going to enjoy the most, out of all the big summer tentpoles and smaller counter-programming. Unfortunately, with no movies coming out until July (at best!), it would be a pretty thin episode. But just because summer 2020 is shot to hell, doesn't mean we ca...

Looking at the world outside our windows - certainly not visiting it- what could be better than watching a movie about the swirling paranoia of a world that is on the brink of collapse and there's nothing you can do about it?

There are a lot of ways you can ride out a pandemic. You can gather all of your beautiful rich friends, hole up in a villa outside of Florence, and tell dirty stories to each other for ten straight days. Or you can throw a lavish party with several color-coded rooms that represent the decaying, corrupted soul of the age. Maybe you can keep a diary that will be treasured centuries from now as an ir...

Between A Quiet Place: Part II depicting how humanity might look after civilization has been destroyed by blind, man-eating aliens, and COVID-19 preventing us from going out to the movie theaters to see it ( EDIT: In a much more direct way than I had initially meant, as it turns out ), it's an exciting time for fans of apocalypses. To celebrate - or prepare? - we're taking a look at our favorite f...

We intended to start the year off on a positive note, with our most favorite films of the 2010's, and leave it at that.  But we would be completely remiss if we didn't slip into the deep, dark, cinematic sadness of the last decade, to look at the worst films of the last 10 years, too.  Hearts are already breaking at the mention of Orson Welles and Fred Rogers' names, but we won't get ahead of ours...

It's our first-ever Top 10 episode, as we look at our very favorite films of the 2010s: the films that best embody a whole decade's worth of cinema.

We're back! And for our first podcast of the new decade, we're looking at all the films of the year that's just wrapped up.
