Alternate Ending

Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized that they all shared a passion for movies. Tim had been reviewing films at his old blog Antagony & Ecstasy for over a decade, and Rob & Carrie had found great success with their year-old podcast, when they all decided to combine forces to create a new site, dedicated to their desire to watch and discuss the best (and worst) that cinema has to offer. The result is the website you see before you. What makes Alternate Ending different from all the other film sites on the internet? Well, we humbly suggest that it's the three of us: very different people with very different thoughts about the movie. 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 site for people who just want to talk about the latest hot new movies in theaters right this minute. This is a site for people who can't get to the theater until the third week a film is out; a site for people who just want to find something great to stream online after the kids have gone to sleep, a site 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 site 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.

Our Best Films of 2021 episode, was a bit contentious and so we had hoped to come back lovingly-aligned for our worst films of 2021 episode, but I guess there's always next time? It wasn't hard to find bad movies from the last year, there were some mega-stinkers, indeed.  What qualifies as a bad movie? What elements of a movie make it bad? All things for which, we do not agree.  I will say though, with our New Year's resolution to spark joy and find the positive, Rob makes a valiant attempt to have us find the "brightest spot" in each terrible movie and maybe, it sort of works?

Also, please hide your Grandma's. Hide your Dad's. Maybe even hide yourself from this particularly vulgar and regularly offensive episode. They always just twist my... ugh... just sorry.

This week, Bride of Alternate Ending is double masked and taking to the aisles to discuss SCREAM 5 aka 5CREAM aka SCREAM for reasons that remain unfathomable. Will noted Scream skeptic Tim and Scream megafan Brennan (who recorded this entire podcast without telling Tim that theres a shiny new Scream ’22 poster hanging on his wall just out of sight of the Zoom camera) find common ground on this new entry, the first to not be directed by Wes Craven?

It's a brand new year, and we couldn't be more excited to see what exciting new movies 2022 has lined up for us all to enjoy. But before we can do that, we need to ring out the old year in traditional fashion: our picks for the best films of 2021!

We’re not 100% sure why, but you asked for it and we’re here to cover TETSUO II: BODY HAMMER! The original film is an indelible work of experimental genius that we had wildly divergent opinions on. Can the same filmmaker apply that genius to a more coherent story and a bigger budget? Let’s find out!
