Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

This week, Carrie, Tim, and Brennan get together for a conversation about the best movies to get you into the Halloween spirit! But first of all, a Worth Mentioning roundup of three films that probably won’t: HALLOWEEN ENDS, HOCUS POCUS 2, and LYLE LYLE CROCODILE! This episode is seeded throughout with some of the best Carrie stories you’ve ever heard, so keep your ears peeled.   ***************************************************************** Love the Podcast? Leave us a review!

After the tragic loss of our original episode audio, we're a little late this week but Carrie and Tim did their best to lick their wounds and rally to re-record our Fall 2022 favorites episode! In worth mentioning, Carrie brings the new "low budget" high-tower thriller Fall and Tim tries to sell Carrie on the recently released horror flick Smile.

One of our favorite episodes of the year is here - where we sit down to debate the merits of the best of the Summer! It was an odd episode, overflowing with mayhem for may reasons, including (but not limited to) Carrie taking the reins as host and having the most overlap with Tim's picks for the season than ever before.  How will Tim react? Well, you'll just have to tune in to find out!

Today we’re closing out dinosaur month, which was suggested by Oscar-level Patreon member Johnzilla!

In 1985, when the first Fletch film was released in theaters, Marcia Gay Harden was a broke NYU grad student who was still 5 years away from her breakout role in Miller's Crossing. In the subsequent 37 years, Lady Marcia Gay Harden (inside joke you'll have to listen to understand) has racked up not only over 120 film and tv credits, but an Academy and Tony Award. But, as she tells it, her proudest achievement is being a mom and as any mom will tell you, a right of passage for kids going off to college is to do a tear filled drop-off, which is exactly where Marcia was on her way to do when she hopped on to chat with me about her latest film, Confess, Fletch. While at a layover, she dished on how she landed the role as The Countess in Confess, Fletch alongside a fun ensemble, including John Hamm (taking the mantle from Chevy Chase), Lucy Punch, Kyle MacLachlan, Lorenza Izzo and John Slattery (who reunites with his Mad Man co-star Hamm). For those who loved the original Fletch series or just a good comedy / PI

It's a bit of a hodgepodge this week here at AE - lots of feelings about movies, theaters, streaming services, return to work, X-rated film reviews and more! We had a real gift bag in worth mentioning this week, too!  Thanks to Patreon Julian DeBerry, we get to enjoy the peace and calm that comes with 1985's Soviet war film Come and See. Ann Yourell had us also exploring the debatably racist French film, The Intouchables. Lastly, let us not forget the film requested by M.C. Steffen, that had Tim wanting to quit film criticism altogether, Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.

Thanks to Oscar-level Patreon member Johnzilla, this month is all about dinosaurs!

This episode, thanks to Patreon supporter Carl Beasley, we're taking a look at the phenomenon of the cliffhanger ending, in which a story ends on a moment of greatest tension and excitement, the better to make sure we're good and excited for the next entry.

Remake month is drawing to a close, and Tim and Brennan have set upon a film that neither of them have seen before: 1990’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD! After procrastinating on actually discussing the topic at hand, they break down exactly why this movie exists and try to figure out why it doesn’t ever quite meet its lofty goals.   Love the Podcast?

Well, I'd like to say that Carrie, Tim and Rob are all back this week because the madness of Summer has come to an end, but that wouldn't be true, the madness of Fall is just upon us! Nevertheless, we did find the first week in a month that all of us were either healthy and in cell-phone range and we couldn't be happier about it.  The only thing that could possibly spoil this reunion euphoria is having to spend an hour talking about The Billy Jack series - and here we are! Thanks to Patreon supporter Gavin, we slogged our way through about 100 hours (ish) of a very Caucasian man, casting himself as an Indigenous man/Vietnam war vet and leveraging his Korean martial art, Hapkido, to take down real bad guys. If you're not entirely sold here, check out the episode! In worth mentioning, Carrie covers the newly released Thor: Love and Thunder and Rob attempts to ensure you never want to see the decent movie Day Shift. ***************************************************************** Love the Podcast?

This week, Tim and Brennan are doing another solo episode while Rob and Carrie travel back from vacation! In Worth Mentioning, we cover two very different films about famous musical acts: Elvis (2022) and Can’t Stop the Music (1980). Then we dive into a conversation about the medium of television: where it was, where it is now, and why Tim doesn’t like most of it.   ***************************************************************** Love the Podcast? Leave us a review!

This week, Tim and Brennan have taken the reigns and are navigating a solo episode! After Worth Mentioning, the pair dive into a wide-ranging (read: easily distracted) conversation about ’80s slashers, retro throwbacks, and what other trends are cropping up in the modern horror film!   ***************************************************************** Love the Podcast? Leave us a review!

This week's episode is coming to you a week late, and for that we apologize. Though, fiesty-ness levels are high due to lack of sleep and new-phone-setup drama, so maybe we're not sorry. From just plain defining "aliens" to just generally attacking each other for our alien preferences, the episode gets a little snappy. But we'll let you decide, are Avatar's really aliens? Is Yoda just a really old human? We ask you decide, but there is really only one answer to all these questions. Tune in!

Carrie and Rob catch-up on the world of streaming. Rob shares his big concerns about the future of cinema and Carrie squashes them with her certainty that "things always seem to work themselves out." In worth mentioning, we review Demons 2 and Grave of the Fireflies. We will never forgive our patrons for the misery they've caused us.

Zombie month has officially risen from the grave, and we’re starting with a resolutely peculiar entry, the 2008 Canadian indie PONTYPOOL! Tim and Brennan break down whether or not the core conceit makes sense and if that matters, as well as discussing the subjectivity of horror and following up on a bit of tangential Elvira material!   Love the Podcast?
