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.

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 cautionary tale for years to come. 2023 has been an especially ugly year for megaflops, contributing two contenders for the dishonor of being one of the biggest money loser of all time in The Flash and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which makes it perfect timing for Patreon Kelleson to pick our next assignment: our picks for the top 5 flops of all time! We'll be looking at all the most notorious fiascos, boondoggles, and catastrophes that ever lit a massive pile on money on fire.

Thanks to all of you who joined us for the live recording!

This episode is ever-so lovingly brought to you by two of our long-standing Patreon supporters.  Thanks to Brian Fowler, we dive into a 4-part episode (movie?) viewing of Dragon Ball? Dragon Balls? Dragon Balzzzz?  If you've seen the movies we discuss... sorry. If you haven't seen them, enjoy the strangest mental picture you can possibly fathom.

Andrew Johnson added some real fun to the episode, by picking Under the Skin for our worth mentioning segment - a film that Tim admires and Carrie will surely, never forget.

Tune in and we hope you enjoy!
