Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

It's spooky movie season once again, and we're celebrating with a concentrated dose of one of the most iconic monsters in cinema history. This episode focuses on our picks for the top 5 vampire movies, a noble lineage stretching back to the legendary days of German silent cinema all the way to the present day, and beyond. They might be animalistic ghouls, dangerously charismatic noblemen, or goofy...

Hello and welcome to the official first main feed episode of Bride of Alternate Ending! We are the horror spinoff show hosted by Brennan Klein and Tim Brayton, and we've graduated from Patreon to the main feed this month! These episodes will be coming the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month! For spooky season, we've decided to gift each other with horror classics that the other hasn't seen. First up...

It's taken us a few extra weeks, but the Alternate Ending crew has finally caught up with all of the big films of the summer movie season, and we're ready to share our picks for the top 5 films of summer 2021. A small, lower-key summer than some of the biggest blockbuster seasons of yore, but anything would feel like a return to form after 2020, and there have been some gems hiding out in the stil...

It's time to Pass the Popcorn again this week! It's what we've been watching, a rousing game of Would You Rather?  and a very, very in-depth review of Lifeforce , requested by Not Fenimore. Tim shares his thoughts on The Card Counter and Rob pretty heavily steers you alway from Buddy Games ... because it's terrible. Tune in! Next week's episode: Top 5 of Summer 2021 *******************************...

2021 is racing by at top speed, and here we are, ready to greet the fall movie season, with all of its Oscar hopefuls and Christmastime blockbusters alike. And a particular packed fall movie season, too, with many of 2020's delayed titles finally appearing alongside a whole wave of new productions. To help you sort through it all, the Alternate Ending crew is here with our most anticipated movies...

It's our inaugural episode of Pass The Popcorn and we while we have many directions we want to take this new format, we just had to review Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ,  given our respective obsessions with Marvel, Simu Liu and Tony Chiu-Wai Leung, we just had to get this movie out of our system. We've had an eventful last few weeks with COVID super-spreader events, anniversaries and...

We've got another podcast by request of one of our Patreon subscribers, with Hallvar∂ur asking us to take a look at the dark and paranoid world of shadow governments and secret societies with our top 5 conspiracy thrillers. Stories of hapless, helpless protagonists stumbling into serpentine mazes of amoral men in shadowy rooms pulling strings to guide the course of the world to God knows what end...

Our next episode comes at the request of Patreon subscriber Travis, who wants us to think small: we're temporarily putting aside feature-length movies to share with all of you our top 5 short films of all time. From slapstick cartoons to documentaries to the wilderness of the avant-garde, the world of short cinema is every bit as varied as its more visible long-form sibling, and we're going to loo...

In hardly any time at all, we're going to be getting DC's The Suicide Squad , a reboot-sequel that surely somebody anywhere in the whole world was clamoring for. In the meantime, this story of a bunch of colorful weirdoes played by a star-studded cast has us thinking of all the other times that movies have given us a chance to gawk at all our favorite actors gathered in one place, or just to be su...

This month on Bride of Alternate Ending, Tim and Brennan are covering the 1989 experimental body horror masterpiece(?) TETSUO: THE IRON MAN ! Thank you so much for being a patron!

With Escape Room Tournament of Champions  hitting theaters this week, we decided to mix it this episode up a bit.  You see, your respective hosts each have an unfounded confidence that they are, in fact, the most talented Escape Room-ers, that probably ever existed.  I say this because, JUST last weekend, the AE crew traveled to Escape in Time - Madison  to test our wits in their new Cryosleep roo...

Black Widow is coming to theaters next week, and with it, a nearly two-year drought in the theatrical output of the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes to a close (I mean, come now... they don't call it the Marvel Direct-to-Streaming Television Universe, now do they). And with 23 extant films making up this biggest and baddest franchise of modern filmmaking, that's more than enough for us to make our...

This month on Bride of Alternate Ending, thanks to Patreon subscriber Travis, Tim and Brennan are covering the David Cronenberg classic VIDEODROME ! Thank you so much for being a patron!

This week on Take 2 , Carrie joins Brennan to discuss her official number 1 favorite Studio Ghibli film, PONYO , and how it got that way.

One-third of the Alternate Ending team couldn't possibly be more excited for our next topic, which has been gifted to us from Patreon subscriber Gavin. And since he's the one writing this post, there's not going to be any dissenting views on the idea that Japan's Studio Ghibli is one of the most wonderful, special, spirit-lifting film production companies in the history of the medium (we'll agree...

This week on Take 2, Carrie joins Brennan to nominally discuss 2018's Love, Simon  although it's mainly just tangents about coming out, improving the world, and swallowing.

Our next podcast topic comes to us thanks to Patreon subscriber Not Fenimore, who has left us with an intriguingly open-ended topic: our top 5 movies for parents. Whether this means the top 5 movies for parents who have been conscripted into watching movies with their kids,  the top 5 movies for parents to use as teachable moments about life or morality or such things, the top 5 movies for parents...

This week on Take 2 , Tim joins  Brennan  to break down everything Conjuring, Annabelle , Nun , Llorona , and whatever the hell else James Wan and company throw at the wall to see if it sticks! Join us for our ranking of all 9 films, the struggle to figure out the series timeline, and the Greatest Showmanization of Ed and Lorraine Warren!

Well, we successfully rallied together to compile our Summer Movie Preview 2021 pull ourselves from our pessimistic trenches and look forward towards a new year with new theatrical possibilities! We know you may not share our optimism, just yet, but with the possibility of seeing A Quiet Place Part II together in a theater on the horizon, nothing can crush our spirits.  For fun, we even went back...

There was a tie in the poll for this month's Bride of Alternate Ending, so Tim and Brennan are moving one of those fateful picks on over to the main feed and picking up a Carrie along the way! That's right, we're talking CASPER and the mass Devon Sawa sexual awakening that struck America's tweens in 1995.

With the 14-month freeze at the North American box office starting to melt over the last few weeks, and looking to melt even more over the next few weeks, the Alternate Ending crew thought this would be a great time to celebrate the theatrical experience. Our next episode is dedicated to our picks for the top 5 movies to see on the big screen, the kind of film where watching it even on your fancy...

As a followup to Alternate Ending's Oscars recap episode, Tim is joining Brennan this week to discuss EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA , the Oscar-nominated song "Húsavík," and the state of the Best Original Song Oscar in general!

The Oscars are over and I think we can say a collective "well, that was weird".  The location, the speeches, the music trivia?  On this 93rd Academy Awards dedicated episode we cover all of our Oscars 2021 reactions.  We take a look at the best and worst moments, out thoughts on the upsets and the usual end to the whole affair.  To be fair, it's not all bad.  In fact, we find a whole handful of th...

We made it to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier SEASON FINALE and we're feeling pretty proud.  I guess the old adage is true "misery loves company," because I was feeling pretty solid about the collective AE jabs at the cheesy writing and blatant social commentary.  Though, I overheard a gal tell Rob on a work call that she is "absolutely loving The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,"  that it's her "...
