Your Movie Rocks: Spiral (2007)
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.

February 2026 Movie Preview
Alternate Ending
We come to the end of another month, and that means it's time for a preview of the movies to come! February is looking just as chilly as January, movie-wise, but that's not going to stop Brennan, Cameron, and Andrew from finding the bright-looking spots in the release schedule, which turns out to be a bit more wild and weird than it seems from the outset. For this week's movie roundtable, Andrew finally catches up with 2018's black metal biopic Lords of Chaos, while Cameron raves about current Oscar hopeful Sirāt, and Brennan sees the less awards-friendly sudsy thriller The Housemaid.

A Tribute to Robert Redford
Alternate Ending
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.

January 2026 Movie Preview
Alternate Ending
As 2025 winds down, the cold and bitter specter of a January that's unusually barren of even the usual kind of January new releases rears its icy head. To help weather this winter storm, Brennan Klein is joined by Brian Fowler and Caleb Wimble as they find whatever they can to sustain themselves until the spring. Plus, they've decided to forego the usual movie roundtable in lieu of a tribute to the late Rob Reiner, whose passing earlier in December came as such a shock to the film world. Join us in celebrating an estimable filmmaking career on this year-ending episode of Alternate Ending!

James Cameron
Alternate Ending
This week sees the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash, the tenth narrative feature directed by James Cameron, and that seemed like an auspicious enough number to use it as an excuse to celebrate. Alternate Ending's resident Avatar maniac, Tim Brayton, is joined by a trio of fellow Cameron-heads: Zev Burrows, Andrew Milne, and Caleb Wimble. And the four of them dilly-dally for as much time as Ol' Jim himself might do in going over his directorial career, and some of his other interests, culminating in our picks for the best films of his slender but massively popular filmography. As a...

The Podcast Holiday Special: Cheesy Christmas Romcoms
Alternate Ending
'Tis the season for an viewing diet unhealthily dominated by ugly sweaters, fake snow, and immaculately trimmed prop Christmas trees, and the Alternate Ending gang is celebrating by bringing Tim and Brennan together to discuss something other than horror cinema for a change. They're joined by terrible Christmas movie expert Cameron, and the three of them are sharing their thoughts - or in Tim's cases, confusions - on the omnipresent modern holiday movie genre, slick and cheesy romantic comedies made by Netflix, Hallmark, Lifetime, and other fine purveyors of shameless cinematic comfort food....

The site and the podcast have both seen a lot of changes since then, and we're taking this moment to look back over all the changes the decade has witnessed here at Alternate Ending, and in the wide world of movies overall. Such a special topic deserves a big sprawling all-star treatment, so Tim is joined by four other members of the Alternate Ending podcast family to take a walk down memory lane: Bride of Alternate Ending's Brennan Klein, Mandy Albert of Your Movie Rocks, Brian Fowler, and Cameron Shaw. Together, the crew talks about the site's history, our favorite moments from the podcast, and more, including Tim's review of the 2006 fantasy film Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses, by request of Patreon supporter Kyrie.
