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 room.
The short story is, we only used one clue and made it out of the room with 20 whole minutes to spare and basically we all think we own the place now. That said, the experience left us with lots of questions.
Rob: "How much of the experience is automated vs. managed by the Gamemaster's manual control?"
Carrie: "What's the weirdest thing you've seen on the hidden cameras?"
Tim: "Do you give discounts for superior human beings, who are able to navigate complicated clues more quickly than anybody you've ever seen?"
So for this episode, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Sara and Cheris the owner and Gamemaster at Escape in Time - Madison, to find out from the experts how Escape Room Tournament of Champions stacks up AND to ask the obvious question "which of us really was the best player"?
Note: this is an "Spoiler Free" episode, but expect a series of grunts and moans and "mmmhmmmms" as we try to have a knowing conversation, void of explaining any of the twists.
In worth mentioning, Carrie and Tim commiserate on Black Widow, Rob takes on the task or reviewing Space Jam: A New Legacy and Tim reviews the new Nic Cage flick, Pig (which he kind of loved, to the surprise of nobody).
Tune in and we hope you enjoy this fun episode!

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 comparative lists of the top 5 MCU movies. For some of us, this means the cream of the crop of modern blockbuster filmmaking; for others, it's the most tolerable of a bad bunch. But anyway, Tim felt like he owed something to Rob and Carrie for muscling through Studio Ghibli week, so here we are.
In Worth Mentioning we discuss The Tomorrow War, No Sudden Moves, Fatherhood and Pride thanks to Patron Ellie Cook.
