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.

Today Tim and Brennan are closing out Antichrist month, a topic requested by Patreon member Harold Bleacher. They thought it would be a good idea to check out the TV movie sequel to Rosemary’s Baby, LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY’S BABY. They were wrong…

Christmas (or whatever holiday makes you giddy with glee) came early here at Alternate Ending. We're joined by one of our favorite humans, Catherine Clark!  You may have seen some of her writing contributions on ae.com, but she's also an artist, film producer and officially the best cat Mom on the planet (don't tell Tim).

If there was a contest for the person in our lives who would be the least likely to get kicked out of a Gen-Z party, Catherine would win in a landslide.  Meanwhile, Carrie still uses words like "hip" and "cool whip" in public conversations. Needless to say, their feelings on Bodies Bodies Bodies...differ.

Catherine also brings the Triangle of Sadness, which she compares to Parasite only with Woody Harrelson (there are less intriguing ways to describe a movie).

The pair round out the conversation with their perspectives on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

We promise and cross-our-hearts that this is a spoiler-free episode.

Tune in and have a great week, friends!

It was a movie-palooza on this week's episode of Pass the Popcorn! Carrie brings her thoughts on Barbarian and by the request of Patreon supporter Brian Fowler, commiserates with Tim on her adoration for Smiles of a Summer Night.

Brennan and Tim take their hits on the newest nun-horror flick Prey for the Devil and takes a quick turn to the life and times of Al Yankovic as captured in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

Finally, we turn to Tim who gives us the low-down on the newest remake of All Quiet on the Western Front and by Patreon Kelleson Dale's request, Tim reviews the weird little tale of a brood of animated appliances in The Brave Little Toaster.

We also learn exactly what foods irritate our respective bowels, because this is a classy podcast.

Tune in and have a great week, friends!
