    Your Movie Rocks: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

    2026/08/04 | 53 mins.
    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.
    August marks the 16th anniversary of the release of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which isn't actually the reason that Gavin - appearing for the third time on Your Movie Rocks! - selected it. Rather, it's because he wanted to give Mandy a movie she was undoubtedly going to love for the third time in a row, following Agora and Lawrence of Arabia. Something like that, anyway. Together, Mandy and Gavin discuss the turbulent career of director Edgar Wright, the evolving careers of the jam-packed cast of the film, and the narrative logic of video games, as well as finding out if Mandy shares Gavin's enthusiasm for this generational nerd touchstone.

    August 2026 Movie Preview

    2026/07/28 | 1h 36 mins.
    While The Odyssey rages on as the event film of the summer and Spider-Man: Brand New Day prepares to make just the silliest amountof money, August waits in the wings to end the summer with a squishy thud. Tim returns for his first monthly preview in several months to stare down the bleakness, and he's helped by guests Cameron Shaw and Caleb Wimble. Before diving into the preview, Caleb and Cameron share their thoughts on that same Odyssey, before kicking off our usual movie roundtable: Cameron catches up with the Arthurian classic Excalibur from 1981, while Caleb checks out the new release She's the He. Courtesy of Patreon supporter Christophe Romain, meanwhile, Tim tracks down the 2004 Belgian prizewinner Steve + Sky.

    Spider-Man on Film

    2026/07/14 | 1h 47 mins.
    The presumptive biggest film of summer, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is right around the corner, and we're greeting it with a extra-large episode with an extra-large cast. Brennan is joined by Brian Fowler, Andrew Milne, and Caleb Wimble to take a look at the history of our friendly neighborhood superhero dating all the way back to the 1970s, right up to the current run of megablockbusters. Before tackling the amazing webslinger, the movie roundtable that kicks off the episode is jam-packed with new releases, as Andrew is thrilled to catch up with The Furious, Caleb has a surprisingly warm response to Toy Story 5, Brennan praises Carolina Caroline, and Brian didn't hate Supergirl.

    Your Movie Rocks: Imaginaerum

    2026/07/07 | 1h 1 mins.
    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.  Come along on a wild CGI roller coaster ride as Mandy and Andrew gamely try to pronounce "Imaginaerum," gamely avoid pronouncing most other Finnish names, and get into deep subjects like death, aging, memory, and scary snowmen.  Also, we have a digression on sexy blood-red dresses.

About Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast
Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized they all shared a passion for movies. Our goal is to save you time and money by sharing our thoughts and recommendations on which movies to race to theaters for, which to watch at home and those to actively avoid. What makes Alternate Ending different from other film podcasts? Well, we're not 5 dudes in a room talking about our passion for Fight Club and Braveheart. We're two dudes, and a lady, of which our tastes are quite varied. Rob, the film-school dropout, has seen an absurd amount of movies, and if we're being honest, rounds out our Fight Club fan-base. Tim Brayton, our seasoned film critic, shares a more critical view of film, an appreciation for vintage cinema and perhaps limited-release movies that we might otherwise miss. Carrie, our casual movie-goer, reminds us all that cinema is in fact supposed to be fun and entertaining and that sometimes, just sometimes, happy endings are good. 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 podcast for people who just want to talk about the latest hot new movies in theaters right this minute. This is a place for people who can't get to the theater until the third week a film is out; a place for people who just want to find something great to stream online after the kids have gone to sleep, a place 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 place 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. Join us for our weekly review of movies worth seeing, worth avoiding and our Top 5 lists – and don't forget to play along at www.alternateending.com.
