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 to our last Summer movie preview and it's hard to believe that was TWO YEARS AGO.
Personally, I think we've come up with some very fine lists, most of which I'm excited to see (except F9, because Tim's the last person that actually watches those). While it certainly doesn't feel laden with masterpieces, there's enough to keep us interested taking our freshly vaccinated-selves to a well-spaced theater.
Throughout the Summer, we'll each pick away at each other's lists until we've seem all of the films we've discussed on the episode. When all is said and done, Tim will lock himself away and crunch the numbers to see who collectively had the best list of the year.
On this episode's worth mentioning we cover two patreon requests (and also two of Tim's favorites) F is for Fake and House (1977), as well as, Army of the Dead.
Movie Club Movie Meetup is Thursday, May 27th – Mark your calendars! If you're not a Movie Club member, you can sign up here!

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 4K home theater rig just isn't enough, whether because of the sheer scale of the images, the need for a raucous, enthusiastic crowd, or the chance to give strangers handjobs in the dark.
In Worth Mentioning we cover Stowaway, Things Heard and Seen, and The Kid Detective.
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!
