Sometimes, no matter how much money the studios throw at it, a movie just fails. Sometimes, the studio throws a whole lot of money at it before it becomes clear that's happening. And that's how you get, not merely a garden-variety failure, but a bonafide flop, the sort of horrific financial disaster that gets discussed with a giggle of schadenfreude in the trade press and passed around as a cautionary tale for years to come. 2023 has been an especially ugly year for megaflops, contributing two contenders for the dishonor of being one of the biggest money loser of all time in The Flash and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which makes it perfect timing for Patreon Kelleson to pick our next assignment: our picks for the top 5 flops of all time! We'll be looking at all the most notorious fiascos, boondoggles, and catastrophes that ever lit a massive pile on money on fire. Thanks to all of you who joined us for the live recording! Tune in!

This week's topic was a doozy - but we were up for the challenge, as we picked our way through The Best and Worst Years for Movies, courtesy of Patreon Andrew Johnson. Some years achieve legendary status right away, like the annus mirabilis of 1999; some grow their reputation with age and respectability, like the Hollywood golden epoch of 1939. Some years, there are pandemics and/or major industry-wide strikes, and people just plain stop putting out movies, except from some real dogs that nobody wanted to see anyways. We'll be looking at all of it as we contemplate this question more than a century in the making. Tune in!

"Every movie's a circus", in the words of a song from the proudly mediocre Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Blvd. But we're going to be a little bit more selective than that. At the request of Patreon supporter Carl Beasley, this episode focuses on on our top 5 circus movies: movies celebrating the wonderful entertainment form that has made such a rich pageant out of exploiting people with unusual bodies, abusing animals, and of course, the indescribable, unholy nightmare terrors of those funny fellas, the clowns.

This episode came a week later than expected, due to unforeseen, lower than expectations reviews of the Indiana Jones series from the Jarosinski children. With an extra week gone by, we were prepared to face the situation head on. Sort of. Thoughts differ on Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny, but thankfully Tim finds it in his heart to only break Carrie's heart in written form and mostly spare her feelings on air. Sort of. With thanks to Patreon M.C. Steffen Tim brings his review of Little Boy.

Hardcore Alternate Ending heads will remember one of our signature moments early in the life of the podcast was a baffling "Who's On First" style catastrophe of a discussion that swirled around the fact that Pontius Pilate, historical Roman governor of Judaea and major figure in the Christian Gospels, has a name that can be misinterpreted as sounding like he's an airplane pilot. One person who definitely remembered that affair was Patreon subscriber Gavin, who has forced us into a reckoning with our past in the form of his selection for our next podcast topic: our picks for the top 5 representations of Pontius Pilate in movies. Or whatever the almighty hell Carrie comes up with instead. It will, if nothing else, surely prove to be one of our most offbeat episodes ever. Tune in!

Summer is almost upon us! Indeed with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 already in theaters, summer is arguably already here. But there's still lots of weeks of movies to come, with the most fully-stocked calendar of big tentpoles since 2019. To celebrate, we're casting our gaze forward to share our picks for our most anticipated films of the summer, as well as kick off our annual game of trying to see who can come the closest to predicting the biggest hits at the box office (Rob. It's always Rob). We're looking at indie dramas and Indy tentpoles, artistic cartoons and toy commercial for grown-ups, and maybe, just maybe, Tom Cruise will finally manage to kill himself in front of a movie camera for our collective enjoyment.

Expect many dead parents of wide-eyed animal children, gore effects whose cheesiness through adult eyes can't quite take the edge off of the shock they gave to a child's system, and the odd film that coldly and brutally diagnoses the darkest parts of humanity in ways that can unnerve and unsettle us even now.

This week *should* be a big week here at Alternate Ending because it is, in fact, the week of the 95th Academy Awards. Though, it's fair to say that only 33% of us loves the Oscars, another 33% tolerates them and the other % mostly avoids them by sneaking away for snacks, in order to suppress their rage. Though, that didn't stop our Pringle-eating critic from predicting 16 of the night's 95th Academy Awards winners. In worth mentioning, Brennan and Carrie review the newest updates from the Woodsboro crew, in Scream 6.

This month, Tim and Brennan are digging the horror movie skeletons out of the closets of actors nominated for Oscars this year! First, we're starting with Ana de Armas, who was nominated for her performance as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. But 7 years before that, she was in the scrappy little Eli Roth exploitation film that couldn't, KNOCK KNOCK! Let's talk talk about it! Love the Podcast? Leave us a review!

To close out our month of follow-ups, Brennan and Tim are diving back into the feature that followed 1988's Elvira, Mistress of the Dark by a lot longer than seems proper: the 2002 pastiche ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS!

Tim and Brennan are kicking off the new year by following up on titles they covered throughout 2022.
