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.

This year's Oscar race is about to get dressy with House of Gucci, a true crime biopic about the legendary family-run fashion company. To celebrate, we're playing a bit of dress-up ourselves, as we take a look out favorite examples of costuming motion picture history. From the storybook past to the shiny future, costume design is one of the cornerstones of cinematic worldbuilding, and our next episode is entirely devoted to the most imaginative, most glamorous, and most colorful examples of big screen couture.

Brennan lost his voice and it took some time to find it again. This week, we’re covering Patreon subscriber Carl Beasley’s request of a film involving Terrors of the Deep. The poll results pointed in one mystifying direction: 1989’s LEVIATHAN. In this episode, we plumb every corner of this deep sea flick that welds Alien to The Thing and calls it a day.

At the request of Patreon subscriber Brian Fowler, and just in time for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson about to star in the Netflix action-comedy Red Notice, the Alternate Ending crew is going to tag team on an episode all about the colorful history of wrestlers who've wandered into the movie. Some have just showed up for a random movie or two, Roddy Piper; some have transformed into proper leading men like The Rock himself; some have become generation-defining legends and genres unto themselves, like El Santo. Any and all of might just show up on our episode dedicated to the top 5 performances by wrestlers in the movies.

In Worth Mentioning, we review Sleuth, as requested by M.C. Steffen and commiserate about Dune, The Eternals and The French Dispatch.

This week's Amazon rental giveaway winner was McAlister Grant!

Audience Top 5:

1. Andre The Giant - The Princess Bride
2. Roddy Piper - The Live!
3. Dave Bautista - Guardians of the Galaxy
4. John Cena - Trainwreck & Harold Sakata - Goldfinger & Dwayne Johnson - Moana
5. Dwayne Johnson - Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
