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.

Location, location location! It's not just for real estate. Locations play a critical role in the filmmaking process. Rob is back from another whirlwind trip to Ohio with Parker. Find out how each of the critical locations came together in this episode.

Crimes of Alternate Ending

Well, it's not until this very moment that I'm realizing we blew right past the Worth Mentioning segment. We might have also skipped the Patreon shout-outs. It's possible that we zig-zagged our way around the Amazon reads, reviews aaaand pretty much any detail that required preparation.

Why? Rob was out of the town this week and the every-5-year-disaster of Tim and I recording an episode alone, did happen.

To add to the mayhem, we were joined by some of our favorite Patreon supporters to add to the chat and QA.

We kick the episode off with a spoiler-free discussion of Crimes of the Future and then open it up to live QA.  After the break, we dive deep into spoilers and clarifications on erectile stature that we hope either Rob edited out, or, that you've turned it out.

Somehow. SOMEHOW.... we made it through, but we're sorry... and we hope to make it another 5 years before it happens again.

Tune in!

We’re starting with a big one: Mel Brook’s YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, which Tim loves and Brennan finds completely falls flat. Digressions include a discussion of the love required to make a parody and shocking revelations about Nicole Kidman’s AMC Theaters ad bumper.
