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.

For our last episode of 2023, we've decided to let our inner Grinches out to play: instead of celebrating the warmth and coziness and love of good holiday movies, as we've done in the past, this year we're going all the way to the other end of the spectrum: the most rotten-souled Yuletide misfires that ever fell out of a chimney. It's our picks for the 5 worst Christmas movies ever made - our present to all of you, since we know there's nothing you enjoy more than our suffering through lousy movies.

This episode, we're also lucky enough to be joined by a some of our AE friends and even a few special call-in guests!

We're breaking hearts and taking names on this episode and we hope you enjoy. <3

Happy Monday!

It's good to be back after a little unplanned break.  Nothing gets the mind right like Tim cackle laughing at imagining Carrie and Rob's first (and only) bath together.  On this episode, Tim brings two new films out of Japan, Godzilla Minus One and The Boy and the Heron. Carrie has a whole batch of movies to choose from, but decides to go with the Netfix Original, Leave the World Behind.  Also, Patreon supporter, Brian Fowler, has Carrie review the classic teen-love-drama, Summer with Monika.

Tune in!
