Shakespeare on Film
Alternate Ending
We've been sitting on this idea for a while, but with Chloe Zhao's Oscar hopeful Hamnet opening this month, it seemed like as good a time as any to finally move forward with one of the biggest topics a film podcast can tackle: big-screen adaptations of the work of Elizabethen/Jacobean playwright William Shakespeare, the most-adapted writer in film history on top of being the most famous name in the history of both English drama and English literature. Such a grand subject deserves a bigger crowd, so this week, Tim is joined by no fewer than three Alternate Ending regulars: Gavin McDowell,...

November 2025 Movie Preview
Alternate Ending
The last Tuesday of the month means it's time for our previews of coming attractions, and to greet the first month with actual for-real blockbusters in a long time, Brennan is joined by Andrew Milne and Gavin McDowell. And while Wicked: For Good and Zootopia 2 are destined to be two of 2025's biggest box office successes, what the team really wants to do is go long on Hamnet, and the nature of making films about William Shakespeare's life and art. Those and other November releases are all covered in the episode, but before that happens, the trio shares their catastrophic...

All About Eve vs. Sunset Blvd.
Alternate Ending
October 13, 2025 marked the 75th anniversary of the premiere of the Oscar-winning classic , which the Alternate Ending crew decided made for a perfect excuse to revisit one of the most remarkable face-offs between two evenly-matched masterpieces in cinema history. In this corner: , the caustically witty dark comedy about backstabbing and ageism in the world of legitimate theater. In the far corner: Sunset Blvd., the lacerating film noir about madness and ageism in the world of motion pictures. Two of the medium's most iconic female lead performances, top-tier screenplays by two of...

Spoiler Alert: The Long Walk
Alternate Ending
It's the fifth Tuesday of September, which means it's time for a special episode. And a dose of nostalgia, this time around, as we proudly announce our first Spoiler Alert episode in four years. If you listened to our , you know that Mandy, Brian, and Caleb were all very excited for the new Stephen King adaptation, The Long Walk. So the three of them decided to return to discuss that movie now that it's out and they've had a chance to see it. And not just that movie - they also have a great many thoughts on the novel it's based on, as well as the whole business of adapting King to film....

October 2025 Movie Preview
Alternate Ending
As awards season revs up, we're faced with even more movies to talk about than usual, so in this episode, Tim, Brian, and Caleb have a lot of work ahead of them as they try to cover everything noteworthy opening in October. And there's even more to talk about than usual, since all three have quite a few movies they're genuinely excited to see, in a huge reverse from the previous nine months of the year. Along with some pessimism for some of the dodgier-looking Oscarbait, to even things out. Before the preview starts, Brian is amazed to see his corner of the word onscreen in the Netflix...
info_outlineWelcome 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.
August's episode is a very special one: Mandy welcomes to the AE podcasting family non other than Josh Albert, her co-host from the Star Trek: Enterprise podcast At Least There's a Dog - who is also, not incidentally, her husband - who comes with an olive branch to the AE community. Knowing that Christopher Nolan's 2020 time-shifting spy thriller Tenet is a highly contentious text on the Alternate Ending discord, Josh felt like it would be worthwhile for Mandy and himself to finally sit down and watch the thing and see what all the hubbub is about. And since Josh is a trained particle physicist and Mandy hates chase scenes, this movie full of cool chases and bad physics has a lot of hubbub indeed. Do they heal the rift in the AE family? The only way to find out is to listen!
