Your Movie Rocks: Imaginaerum
Alternate Ending
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. This month, we welcome back our first three-time player Andrew Milne, who has once again selected a movie that neither Mandy nor most of our listeners ever would have sought out on their own: Imaginaerum, an 85-minute music video for Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish.

July 2026 Movie Preview
Alternate Ending

Brennan is joined by Gavin and Caleb to chat about the new films of July 2026, of which there are honestly not that many. But perhaps the lack of quantity will be matched with an uptick in quality. To kick things off with the movie roundtable, Gavin tackles the bizarre and potentially misguided French animated gay satire Jim Queen and the Quest for Chloroqueer, Brennan has a chance to catch the subject of a previous preview...

Labyrinth at 40
Alternate Ending
June 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Jim Henson cult classic , and the team decided that it was a perfect opportunity to take a look back at this beloved example of dark fantasy.

Before turning to , Mandy brings the recent buzzy film Obsession to our movie roundtable, while Cameron brings the recent buzzy film The Sheep Detectives. By request...

Your Movie Rocks: 1941
Alternate Ending
June's Your Movie Rocks welcomes back Zev Burrows, who has used his guest power to achieve two very important tasks at once: first, he has made himself a true Steven Spielberg completist by assigning both himself and Mandy the storied director's 1941, also known as The Spielberg Joint Almost No One Likes. He has also given Mandy the dubious privilege of perhaps being the only person alive who has seen 1941, but not . Tune in to hear various theories on what the hell Steven thought he was doing with this film, how much of it actually works, a highly educational digression on John...

Moulin Rouge! at 25
Alternate Ending
Baz Luhrmann's maximalist jukebox musical turns 25 years old this month, which seems like the perfect opportunity to revisit the film and contemplate its impact on the musical genre in the years since. Tim is joined by resident music expert Zev Burrows for a spectacular, spectacular conversation about a film that had a major impact on both of them, sometimes to break it down, sometimes just to gush. Before turning to , Zev catches up with the 1985 feminist coming of age drama Smooth Talk, while courtesy of Patreon supporter Maxwell Jacobson, Tim is grappling with 2023's...
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.
To kick off the second year of the show, Mandy welcomes Alternate Ending regular Brian Fowler, who has tasked her with watching the movie Spiral - not that one, the other one. No, the one from 2007 that virtually nobody has seen or heard of. The one starring The Hottie & the Nottie's Joel David Moore. Just how many souls "virtually nobody" actually means is one of the main topics of discussion between Mandy and Brian, as is Brian's steadfast belief that this is actually a pretty special psychological thriller, and he wants more people to hear about it. Will Mandy agree with Brian's warm assessment? Listen to find out!
