About this listen

 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. Art

  • A Tribute to Robert Redford

    A Tribute to Robert Redford
    Jan 13 2026

    January is a rough, wintry month for the movies, but one of the bright spots is that it means the arrival of the Sundance Film Festival. And the Alternate Ending crew is taking this as a good opportunity to celebrate the life and career of Sundance founder - among many other highlights - Robert Redford, who died in September 2025. Tim is joined by Caleb Wimble and Zev Burrows for this deep dive into the acting, directing, and general good deeds of one of the last great movie stars. Before turning to discuss Redford, the trio shares three films for our movie roundtable: Caleb brings the current awards hopeful Sentimental Value, Zev travels to 1955 Japan for the punishing character drama Forever a Woman by director Tanaka Kinuyo, and Patreon supporter M.C. Steffen assigns Tim the ludicrous Christian propaganda film/courtroom thriller Suing the Devil.

  • Your Movie Rocks: Life's a Jungle - Africa's Most Wanted

    Your Movie Rocks: Life's a Jungle - Africa's Most Wanted
    Jan 6 2026

    Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it.

    The first year of Your Movie Rocks ends on a very special episode, in which Mandy is joined by her former student Ali Roberts (@deranged_hands on Instagram), now a film student and filmmaker. And, it turns out, a tough player of the YMR game, assigning Mandy the appalling-looking direct-to-video animated feature Life's a Jungle: Africa's Most Wanted. But by God, Mandy will find the good and the beautiful about this ungainly piece of Madagascar-sploitation, and have a great time doing it.
