Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

Three friends with genuinely different movie tastes review films together, and the contrast in their perspectives is what makes this show worth listening to. Rob is a self-described film school dropout who has seen an absurd number of movies. Tim Brayton is a seasoned critic with a deep appreciation for vintage cinema, foreign films, and limited releases that most people never hear about. Carrie approaches movies as a casual viewer who just wants to know if something is worth her time. That mix means you get three different lenses on the same film in every episode. A blockbuster that Rob and Tim might dismiss on craft grounds could get a passionate defense from Carrie based on pure entertainment value, and vice versa. The show has been running since January 2016, recently celebrating its 10th anniversary, and puts out episodes biweekly. Each one typically covers a new theatrical release and sometimes includes a look at streaming options. They also do monthly preview episodes and Top 5 lists throughout the year. The Patreon community gets to vote on which older films the hosts cover. With 453 episodes and a perfect 5.0 rating (albeit from a smaller review pool of about 112 ratings), the show has a tight, dedicated following. Spin-offs include Your Movie Rocks and Bride of AE. It's a smaller show than some others on this list, but that's part of its appeal. The discussions feel personal and unhurried, like three people who actually care about helping you find something good to watch this weekend.
