It's a Patreon-palooza this week thanks to Gavin (Society), Ann Yourell (The Mirror Has Two Faces), Travis (The Hill) and Carl Beasley (Secrets of the Hot Spring). It was a bit of a Goldilocks story on this episode, with some movies being incredibly enjoyable, some just so-so and then so bad you want to light yourself on fire.
Which movie falls where? Tune in to find out!

"Every movie's a circus", in the words of a song from the proudly mediocre Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Blvd. But we're going to be a little bit more selective than that. At the request of Patreon supporter Carl Beasley, this episode focuses on on our top 5 circus movies: movies celebrating the wonderful entertainment form that has made such a rich pageant out of exploiting people with unusual bodies, abusing animals, and of course, the indescribable, unholy nightmare terrors of those funny fellas, the clowns.
It'll be fun for girls and boys of all ages, so come check out our favorite examples of all the wonders that can be found under the big top!

This episode came a week later than expected, due to unforeseen, lower than expectations reviews of the Indiana Jones series from the Jarosinski children. With an extra week gone by, we were prepared to face the situation head on. Sort of. Thoughts differ on Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny, but thankfully Tim finds it in his heart to only break Carrie's heart in written form and mostly spare her feelings on air. Sort of.
With thanks to Patreon M.C. Steffen Tim brings his review of Little Boy. In retaliation for Tim's recent IJ reviews, Carrie makes Tim sweat by sharing her thoughts on Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, which is assures him will be spoiler-free.
Tune in and we hope you have a great week!

Hardcore Alternate Ending heads will remember one of our signature moments early in the life of the podcast was a baffling "Who's On First" style catastrophe of a discussion that swirled around the fact that Pontius Pilate, historical Roman governor of Judaea and major figure in the Christian Gospels, has a name that can be misinterpreted as sounding like he's an airplane pilot. One person who definitely remembered that affair was Patreon subscriber Gavin, who has forced us into a reckoning with our past in the form of his selection for our next podcast topic: our picks for the top 5 representations of Pontius Pilate in movies. Or whatever the almighty hell Carrie comes up with instead. It will, if nothing else, surely prove to be one of our most offbeat episodes ever. Tune in!

This episode of Pass the Popcorn, we're joined by friend of AE, Zev Burrows to catch up on what movies we've been catching up on. We tried to scare Zev off with our personal burial plans, stomach bugs and the under-appreciated delicacy of spaghetti and cottage cheese ... but he held on like a champ until the end!
In worth mentioning, Zev brings his thoughts on There Was a Father. Tim reviews Evil Dead Rise and Survive Style 5+, by Patreon Christophe Romain's request. Carrie reviews the 1944 classic Laura, requested by Zev.
Make sure to check out Zev's musical stylings at his site - www.zevburrowsmusic.com

Summer is almost upon us! Indeed with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 already in theaters, summer is arguably already here. But there's still lots of weeks of movies to come, with the most fully-stocked calendar of big tentpoles since 2019. To celebrate, we're casting our gaze forward to share our picks for our most anticipated films of the summer, as well as kick off our annual game of trying to see who can come the closest to predicting the biggest hits at the box office (Rob. It's always Rob). We're looking at indie dramas and Indy tentpoles, artistic cartoons and toy commercial for grown-ups, and maybe, just maybe, Tom Cruise will finally manage to kill himself in front of a movie camera for our collective enjoyment.

Thanks to Patreon supporter Harold Bleacher, we're going to be prodding at some of our most sensitive emotional scar tissue in our next episode: by his request, we're going to spend our next podcast talking about the top 5 most traumatizing films we've ever seen. Expect many dead parents of wide-eyed animal children, gore effects whose cheesiness through adult eyes can't quite take the edge off of the shock they gave to a child's system, and the odd film that coldly and brutally diagnoses the darkest parts of humanity in ways that can unnerve and unsettle us even now.

Oscar-level Patron Gavin McDowell has requested that we cover non-Christian religious horror this month, so we’re closing March out with a discussion of Haitian voodoo, as oh-so sensitively handled by the 1932 Bela Lugosi outing WHITE ZOMBIE!

This week *should* be a big week here at Alternate Ending because it is, in fact, the week of the 95th Academy Awards. Though, it's fair to say that only 33% of us loves the Oscars, another 33% tolerates them and the other % mostly avoids them by sneaking away for snacks, in order to suppress their rage. Though, that didn't stop our Pringle-eating critic from predicting 16 of the night's 95th Academy Awards winners.
In worth mentioning, Brennan and Carrie review the newest updates from the Woodsboro crew, in Scream 6. Tim brings his thoughts on a few of the Oscar noms, but dives deep on his thoughts of the best picture nominee, Blonde.
Tune in and we hope the episode sparks a bit of joy, in your week!

This week, Carrie and Tim decide to cut the small talk and get-right-to-it with their Oscar predictions for the upcoming awards ceremony. But then, they didn't do that at all... and somewhere around the 45 min mark they remembered that this is a film podcast *goshdarnit* and got right down to the business of movies.
Tune in and we hope you enjoy!
